  4. VRML in the late 90's on Why Hasn't 3D Taken Off For the Web? · · Score: 2

    There were quite a few VRML sites out there in the late 90's. You needed the Cosmo Worls player to view them. I used a free VRML editor called VRML Arena to build a few small scenes. I go the player from a book I got in 98, still have it but its been put away somewhere. VRML Arena worked in Windws 95 but in but 98 was missing a dll it required. Strangly in Windows XP it worked once again.

    As for 3D even though VRML was pretty cool now that I look at it, why would I need 3D except for entertainment purposes? Give me a flat web so I can get my info right away.

  5. Population US 315,341,617 vs Canada 34,880 on The IIPA Copyright Demands For Canada and Spain · · Score: 3, Insightful

    By those numbers the amount of piracy in the US should be higher by quite a bit. Hell California has 38,041,430 people. 4 million more than Canada.

    Who the fuck are these retards kidding and why the fuck do they get to go around slandering other countries when their backyard is dirty as hell. The countries on the 301 list should do a proper study and create an nice official site stating the piracy rate in the US vs them.

    Basically he's saying that it's OK to rip the layout and the source code of a web site if you change the logo.

    Lets pirate some movies but change the name of the movie and change the name in the video file itself. Done deal.... were free to pirate.

    on and its not a slug fest like my WD Tv Live's they could potentially corner the media player market also. I just spend $1000 on building two HTPC's and one requirement was to play video games. If this can do it at $150 I and everyone I know will have 5 of them in their house.

    Built two htpc's in the last month one for work and one for home using A10-5800K and A8-5600K. My WD TV Live is pissing me off (Slow as molasses) so gonna build a simple htpc for my bedroom using an A4-5300K and another file server for the house with the same chip.

  17. Re:I'm curious to see how many retailers actually on Credit Card Swipe Fees Begin Sunday In USA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not sure where you got this individual consumers don't matter but for small retailers "every" customer matters. I'm not talking about "the customer is always right" because I will tell someone to fuck off if they are unreasonable, oh a I do own a successful retail store. If the clerk does not care you haven`t taught your employees properly of they don`t respect their job/you/you business to care enough.

    Personally if I can make profit I will go out of my way to satisfy even the smallest customer. For example on Monday I have a special order for a customer that came in yesterday. Normally if I ordered this item on Fri I wont get it till Tues/Wed so I'm gonna go out of my way on the way and drive to the distributor to pick this item up on Mon. Yes it'll cost me $5 extra in gas and 45min of extra driving but instead of making $35 on the item I'll make $30 and the word of mouth of how she was treated by the store will bring me in more business. 90% of my return customer is word of mouth because I've gone out of the way for them even if it meant I had to make less profit on a sale of two.

  18. No I and others want to see ... on Steve Jobs Movie Clip Historically Inaccurate, Says Woz · · Score: 1

    Interesting. According to this more recent article:

    it appears to have worked out well enough to expand the experiment.

    That's because they scored in $$$$$$ from ripping off Canadians on handling/customs charges for packages sent from the US.

  20. The auto industry on Unlocking New Mobile Phones Becomes Illegal In the US Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    lets hope they don't jump onto this little racket. No more code readers, no more after market diagnostic devices unless purchased from the manufacturer , no more switching out stereos or speakers as they're tied into the system and removing them deactivates your cars computers, blah blah , $$$$, $$$$ ,$$$$ and $$$$.

    The only thing I've see the auto industry go after is counterfeiters and some fan sites usign their logos or schematics but so far not much anti usage rights attacks.
