So I was saying... there's a difference between those who are artists and those who vandalize things. Similar to the hacker vs. cracker argument. You seem to have completely missed that though.
I'm not sure where I claimed that people whose property had been vandalized are being fraudulent.If you'd like to point that out, I'll gladly accept responsibility for such a silly statement.
P.S. If I ever saw a kid spray painting a victorian I might be inclined to punch him in the eye. I work for a cafe/art gallery in Portland, OR and have had more than one conversation with taggers about the lameness of vandalism. (I'll admit, I couldn't care less if I saw them writing on some corporate edifice.)
P.P.S. I recently went to a gallery show for Daim, you might wanna email him and ask that he stop his "urban-ape" ways. As things stand right now, people are willing to fly him around the world to paint on things.
Just an aside: 'Graffiti Artists' may be credentialed, and some may even have permission and/or a commission for their 'work' on the street. They legitimize a lot of graffiti that is not legimate by their actions, however.
Why not call it 'mural art' and let loose of the term 'graffiti' which is closely associated with vandalism?
Why do hardware hackers hold on so tightly to their title of "hacker" instead of dissasociating themselves with a term that is used to describe "crackers" and "computer vandals"?
Maybe it's because the media got it all wrong from the beggining and they'll never understand the meaning of the words "tradition" and "respect".
If there is no statement of ownership, no reasonable means of finding out who did create it, the building owners/occupiers no longer have a record, it was created under an untracable alias, etc. At what point can they be considered to have done everything reasonably possible to contact him and get to use it by default? Does there ever come a point where being uncontactable releases copyright?
Actually most graffiti artists incorporate their names in their artwork. In fact a lot of their pieces (Daze's included) are their names. It comes from the origin of "getting up".. "tagging" your name on a wall or whatever.
The thing is most casual viewers just arent accustomed to reading graffiti.
If anyone cares to learn more about the culture I suggest the somewhat recently released 20th anniversary edition of "Style Wars". A great documentary, it will also put to bed the myth that graffiti is only about hiphop music/culture. (Although they did both start out as misunderstood and hated subcultures at first.. so it was only natural for hiphop to adopt it.)
Could this song be sold at Christie's auction house at a later date as "The first downloadable digital media sold on Ebay and start of the great DRM right of sale debate."?
BSplayer is a nice fast, compact media player for windows. It does divx, avi, mp3, ogg vorbis and some other formats rather well.
In fact when I couldn't get some divx movies to run without massive frame skips in windows media player and "the playa", I tried BSplayer on advice from a message board and got wonderful results.

Well say it's the $300 art book you bought... or your first edition Kerouac books.. mabey you just dont want anyone taking those.
Or maybe the guy is wearing a priests collar, is holding a can of gasoline and asks for all of your porno mags.
Correct me if I'm wrong, it sounds to me like you actually have to meet up with this person and borrow the physical item.
The site could use a better explanation of the program. I think the site said something to the effect of you don't have to let someone borrow something if you don't feel safe doing it.
Besides if it was downloaded stuff how would you return it?
There's the barren wasteland known as ICQ, there's aim, there's the ever so buggy yahoo. And a few more out there... I use trillian which works on multiple networks and doesn't support ads. So I don't really care which system I talk over, and I'm sure many people here use multiple systems. It's not like people will be so desperate to stay with MSN that they won't be willing to leave it.
What would be really nice though is if Trillian and Gaim go together and came up with a compatible encrypted messaging standard. Then I could just get all my friends to move over to one of them.
No no... you had it right!
DO NOT taunt Happy Ernie Ball or Unhappy Ernie Ball will dump your shitty software, go with open source and serve as an example to other well respected business owners.
Advertisement: Buy the "New" (and improved) Happy Ernie Ball.
Well, its a hardware process and tangible items...
Ernie ball makes this wonderful Music Man Bass... which Flea from the Red Hot Chilipeppers uses.
Personally I prefer DR handwound strings because of their added mass which equals more power and it's easier to get overdrive.
There was this... well still is this site http://www.beta-7.com that claims the new Sega football game causes siezures and memory loss.
There was an article here on slashdot maybe a month or 2 ago.
Maybe because text messaging is relatively silent vs. calling someone up and "saying" HEY THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!" instead of typing it out quickly with a thumb.
Besides if the movie is that lame, taking the time to look down at your phone is a decent diversion for a few fleeting moments. If you're lucky your friend will message you back and you can have fun talking smack for a while. You can also decide where to meet up without disturing all the other people who are intently listening to the film hoping it makes sense.
Although the article is informative in the fact that it names the three major consoles, there isn't any other usefull content there.
I do wonder if the writer truly is clever in their textbook depiction of a completely stereotypical trailer park reject wrestling fanatic with a breast obsession.
It couldn't be the writer's real perosnality because this person obviously knows how to use a computer.
There was a guy who was speaking live to the ABC news desk who was saying to log onto www.thankyoufortakingmycall.com for instructions on what to do once power is restored.
I just went there and its a site about prank calls to live television shows??!!
Why would he suggest that instead of just turning on the TV anyway?
Makes living paycheck to paycheck easier.

"Here's one for you, one for you, one for you... etc."
"Your next payday is in 6 months, and don't go spending it all in one place!"
What boggles me even more is why some people are willing to pay massive amounts of money for powerful weapons/armor or in game cash. Isnt this basically the equivalent to cheating without hacking the game?
"You are in a 3D room... [and] can adjust the camera... [to] have the view you would have probably had if you were actually sitting at a real table top.
Where's the 3D rendered as if you were on the ground fighting real alien invaders mode?
They could have metallic, secret ops black, organic hybrid, and plain ovalheaded grey alien color skins.
I used to play this all the time about a year and a half ago. It's on a slightly different vibe than Counterstrike... I suppose its more cartoony but still somewhat realistic. I remember enjoying the sniper maps a lot more than on Counterstrike.
I kinda grew out of it once I discovered Action for Half-Life. I'll probably take this one out for a spin though.
If these are the results of small test areas at a lower power than they want for nationwide service. What kind of results are we going to get when the whole country is saturated with these signals? I've read that it also interferes with not only the hams for that matter as well.
Have there been any environmental studies regarding human/small animal/insect constant exposure to these signals pouring out over unshielded powerlines?
I'd like to see them add better crash and damage physics to racing games. You can beat the hell out of these things without them ever taking a single dent. Not to mention the fact that you couldn't roll a car in a racing game ever.
I've allways wanted a racing game that allowed me to beat the crap out of my cars then replace busted parts. How about a demolition derby mode?
It doesnt provide for new games... personally the whole fun of classic gaming is the interaction, something you just dont quite get with MAME unless you build yourself a standup arcade box.
There are a few retrocades here in PDX, OR. It seems that Portland has a thriving market for retro-gaming actually, including consoles. (But try finding a good arcade for NEW games.) Which I do enjoy... but yes, it would be nice to have new fast paced simpled little games to test your coordination.
I suppose we could all go out and buy XgameStations and start developing for those.
Frankly... this thread fills me with dread. Save classic gaming!
My brother had a problem with a domain squatter who took his domain from him when he forgot the registration was about to expire.
He contacted the registrar and they said since the registration info of the squatter was fake (phone # & address), if they did not respond within a week to an email they would revoke the domain and he could have it back.
So, since all registration info is fake... is it not possible for someone to complain the registrar and then take over since there's no way to get a response from completely fake info?
