Nah, we'll be using a million times as much petroleum from what I can tell. Looks like most of the substances used in this project are petroleum based plastics.
The crux of that is whether they said they were representing the artist Usher in their letter of if they said they were representing "The copyright holder of whateverthehellitis.mp3". If the letter is of the second type they are misrepresnting themselves.
I don't care how many robots you buy or how much work they do! I imagine there will be enough work for them all. Of course, with a limitless number of robot works you could probably make socialism actually work. Since the robots aren't motivated ANYWAYS they just do what they are told they aren't motivated any more or less by their earnings being evenlly distributed around... I'm sure it would take a lot of initial planning to implement but it may actually be feasible with robot workers as opposed to lazy, greedy, humans.>:)
It seems to me that they said "We represent the copyright holder of THIS mp3 (mp3 name here) and are going to kick your ass if it doesn't come down, we swear to god!" Well, they didn't represent the copyright holder of that Mp3. They represent some shitty rapper named Usher. So as I see it they were claiming to represent the professor simply by claiming to represent the copyright holder of THIS mp3 (mp3 name here). Now, to know for sure we would probably need the precise content of the notice sent to the university. But with the limited knowledge I've got it would appear that they do indeed just claim that they represent the copyright holder of the Mp3 listed and not "we represent 'Person' who we believe to be the copyright holder of 'Mp3' take it down or we'll kill you." which would make this a violation of the perjury clause.
As for being mistaken, do they not verify the contents of the files before sending out notices? Why is the burden of proof shifted away from the accuser here?
I thought that was interesting too, because technically there was a violation of the perjury clause there. The RIAA claimed to be authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder of that specific MP3, when in fact they were NOT authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder. Isn't that precisely the situation that the perjury clause is designed for?
I always thought the "free from desire" road to happiness wasn't right for everyone. I for one am almost universally happy all the time. There are only rare moments when I feel less than happy. But I strive endlessly for improvement, I'm filled with the desire to learn more and to get better at the things I do. I also meditate but usually only as a sleep aid. For me, happiness comes from learning something new, making someone else genuinely happy, and from excersising. I don't think I'll ever be totally free from desire, but I also don't think I'll ever be unhappy.>:)
Fuck the whole *open up new jobs* thing. I want to be able to buy my own humanoid robot and then have it go to work for me while I get paid. THAT is labor saving right there. Make ownership of robots past a certain complexity level illegal for businesses, reserve the right for individuals. Then you can save up for your very own robot that will go to work for you, freeing up valuable loafing around time.
If you're going to be bumming around for a full year be sure to be in New Orleans for Marti Gras. It's not exactly Geek, but it's a wild experience that everyone should have at least once. Amazingly fun! And after Martis Gras you can check out the amazing Aquarium they have there and the science center which is pretty cool too.
Wow! That stuff will go great with the V-tec and TypeR stickers I got for my beige 1984 honda civic hatchback! After I put those stickers on it I was able to totally outrun mustangs, corvettes, almost anything! I bet if I put these stickers on my 8 year old altec lansing surroud sound system it will sound just like the $3500 system from hi-fi buys that I was looking at! I'm ordering a dozen right away!!!!!
Ketosis is BAD. It leads to lethargy, kidney failure, muscle loss, and lowered brain functions. Living in Ketosis for a couple of weeks at a time is ok, but for any longer and you risk damageing your kidneys. If you're a weightlifter you should be paying more attention to what's going on with things in the professional weightlifting scene. I know a lot of weightlifters, they all eat a TON of protein, they also eat a lot of Carbs. It's a necessary part of building muscle mass. And If you want me to show you why Ketosis is bad grab 80% of your bodyweight on the bench and start pumping, I can do 80% of my body weight (Of course that's only about 90lbs since I weigh 127lbs) indefinately. Hell, I can do 140lbs 20 reps. And I'm not a weightlifter. I can do 900 jumping jacks without stopping, 100 situps in under 2 minutes. My diet is about half the FDA recommended protein amount and everything else is pasta and grains. If you stay on a Ketosis diet for very long you will have problems.
That tends to be my problem too, when I'm looking for components and whatnot I can find reviews all over the place but it takes me forever to find a place to buy the item. Of course I also get a dozen places that for some reason show up in the search claiming to sell the item, and then have nothing whatsoever to do with the item.
The rock comment was SPECIFICALLY aimed at the paranoia over this guys little pathetic toy. The toy in the article is about as dangerous as a rock. And it's only that dangerous because after you fail to injure them by shooting at them with it you can fling the weapon at your opponent and hopefully hurt them. But, if you want to talk about projectile weapons in general then what you say applies to conventional firearms as well. It is NOT easy to shoot someone from a window even with a scope. If you go running down the street afterwards carrying your rifle people will notice, if you ditch it then you have the same DNA issue as the rock. Witnesses, people seeing you enter or leave a building with a bulky object or noticing other suspicious things about your behavior. It's not like you can just stroll in to the nearest highrise apartment building and stand on the balcony popping pedestrians without someone noticing. So yeah, guns are a couple of steps up from rocks. But that doesn't make a rock any less deadly.
And of course, kids being stupid and me being a kid at the time... Me and my brother had to see who could hold the fence the longest as the pulse got bigger and bigger. So about 100 feet down the fence I see him finally YELP and let go of the fence and then I get the jolt and do the same thing... Ahhh... foolish stupid youth....
How does the government justify essentially allowing Software and Media companies to serve as an enforcement arm for IP law? With corporate protection groups like the BSA levying fines against people who seem to have no legal recourse, the RIAA and MPAA leveling lawsuits against people who are unable to financially defense themselves EVEN when they are innocent, do you feel that your purpose as a government agency is somewhat superfluous?
Hrmm... That's what I had heard (and thought) originally, then I saw a news article linked to by someone here that said otherwise. I'm gonna go check the WSOP website and find out for sure... No luck there, that site apparently hasn't been updated since last year. I guess back to my original thought that Moneymaker did win it in 2003... We'll see how he does next year.
He did indeed lose that advantage. After winning the 2002 series with relative ease he got the crap totally kicked out of him in the 2003 series. His play style didn't evolve between the two tournaments so everyone knew how he played.
You can get to the final table in a tournament off of straight math skills without ever even LOOKING at most of your opponents. But once you hit the final table it's a whole new game. If you play strictly by the numbers you'll find yourself with approximately as much cash as you started at the table with facing down a couple of guys holding 5x as much who are going to put you to a decision for your chips almost every hand. Of course, once you make it to the final table who cares about winning? Just dog it out as long as you can and take your third place and the $150K+ and go home happy.>:)
Poker is a money game. You can win money on the Internet.
This is the essence of poker right here. The game is about MONEY. You compare the amount of money you can win to the odds of having the best hand at the show down. If you play that way and only take the greater than 50% chances of winning you will come out ahead over time. What being able to read your opponent gives you is a little help in knowing when even though you are over the 50% mark, they have the better hand. It's about that extra margin of security.
I just want to say that game was CRAZY. I thought for sure Hon was going to come back and take it all after starting in 4th chip position. That was seriously a GREAT game to watch.
