You let the admin know, then you leave. Email the approiate address and tell them why you aren't going to use their site anymore. It's worked with banks here in Denmark before.
Commodore was entirely to blame for the lack of sustained success for the Amiga. They somehow lost it all, even though they had a fantastic computer with great name recognition and very good market share.
I know. I just think you underestimate the early Tom & Jerry (or other major studio) cartoons. There's some pretty serious squash & stretch going on that brings a lot of life to the characters. Among my favorites are Triplet Trouble (HB, 1952) or Baby Puss (HB, 1943).
South Park, seriously? Not exactly top notch animation, no matter how you spin it. Sure it's amusing and sometimes tackles issues in pretty profound ways, but the animation is intentionally crap and you know it.
Anyway I never said modern animation sucked, I just said modern HB animation sucked. There are some good cartoons currently (Venture Bros, Futurama) but the animation of the 1930s & 1940s is truly special.
I assume you mean post-1957 Hanna-Barbera, as their Tom & Jerry cartoons for MGM were actually brilliant. The stuff that came after they decided to work for themselves and create cartoons specificially for TV is utterly worthless though, I'll agree.
iTunes only stores play counts and ratings in the internal DB, the rest goes in the id3 tags. I assume they keep those things out of the tags to avoid updating the files continuously, as there is both PCNT for play counts and POPM for ratings in the official spec. However it's fairly easy to extract the relevant information from the iTunesDB and add it with a script so it's not a big deal if you do want to switch to other software which may or may not use those tags.
I was just rambling off the first OSS software that came to mind. I run ScummVM in the native version (actually I run svn update once in a while cause I have all the Gob games and I love playing them).
I hate that I can't use any X11 apps or any posix apps on my mac. It's seriously annoying when I go to type curl -f -O hwait... oh it works. Well how about etherea-oh that works too. Well ScummVM! no I guess that works too. Screw it, now all my anger over not having open source software on my mac is for moot. Dang it all to heck!
A method through which to deliver monoxide dihydrogen via an interplanetary liquid fuel propulsion engine; a method to gather and store said monoxide dihydrogen for later distribution; finally, a method to carve said monoxide dihydrogen into specifically sized cubes for use in ethanol beverages.
Do you vote to be on the winning team? I personally wouldn't do that. If you vote the candidate that is likely to win because he is going to win, that's a shitty reason. Stop voting for the major parties and try to get some political diversity into your government, damnit! One vote DOES count.
I'm from Denmark so I'm not eligible to vote in the US elections, but I would most likely have gone with a 3rd party candidate. Seeing as I can't vote there, I didn't bother looking 100% into all the candidates, so I can't say which one.
I'll tell you what I voted in the 2005 Danish election though: The Minority Party which had some qualities I like (legalized cannabis, relaxation of immigration laws) some that I don't (anti-EU) but overall I find it refreshing if a government is comprised of a coalition, to prevent the true nutbags from fucking everything up and insure that everybody gets heard. They didn't get into the DK parliament though, but that's beside the point. I don't feel that it's a wasted vote. A truly wasted vote is one that is not cast at all.
I find it appalling that you select who you want to vote for negatively. How about selecting based on the candidate's good qualities, not the bad qualities of the other candidates?
I mean that each user/profile is a node in a p2p network. A seperate application, like an IM client, based on an open networking protocol. It could actually be integrated into your IM client across networks.
For a while now I've been hoping that a general protocol would come out and replace the centralized networking sites. It would be fairly trivial to create a handshaking system over a simple p2p network that allows you to set the friend-status of other nodes. These nodes would then be able to access a local profile based on their status. The profile could contain pretty much anything that the user wishes to include in it. It'd have to be user-friendly though. Of course the hand-shaking needs to be secure so people can't crawl the network for personal information, but that could possibly be done with public/private keys or a similar scheme.
I don't have time to code any of this, though, but it would be a million times more efficient than the current system where you have some friends on some sites and some friends on others.

Liechtenstein never claimed to be the creator of the sources he appropriated. Goldman did.

You sound like the PC version of the Mac guys you gripe about. :)
That's irrelevant. The users didn't make the code so they have nothing to do with this release.
Yeah but it's not ogg, and the iTunes Music Store is propietary (what's with not being allowed to run your own iTMS????) and ...

not offtopic it all, it refers to the fucking video referenced it the topic

A good rule of thumb: If the reason something is happening or required isn't immediately obvious, it's likely to do with law or the legal system. ;)
what about skalds then? They're way before the baroque.
mono's fine
Shit, forgot to add an extra patent with "... online" :(

Man there's a ton of money to be made here.
