wtf type of crack are these idiot's smoking? their the ones harping on and on about copyright, but now someone does something with his own copyrighted material they don't like it? their definition of copyright must only include situations where they make money.
the fact is, RIAA should have nothing at all to say about this, and the fact they are jumping up and down about it says volumes about their lack of respect for the public and artists rights.
not possible, since the future does not exist. the reason being, that the moment you think or do something it moves from the present to the past at the speed of light. therefore the present only exists as a single point in time moving forward at 299 792 458 m/s and leaving everything in the past. At no point does anything spend anytime in the future tense.
so how does this make anyone any safer? all it does is up the penalty not prevent the crime. people always delude themselfs that high penalties will prevent crimes, even though the truth slaps them in the face everyday - people commit crimes thinking they won't get caught, hence the penalty doesn't matter.
Wrong, and i'll use a simple example to show it. If the engineers issue a command to the robot to move, it takes 4 minutes for that command to reach the machine (given that radio waves travel at the speed of light give or take a little), the machine still moves 4 minutes later, not at the exact moment we issue the command even though according to your logic the machine being 4 minutes in the future would mean it would move at the exact moment the engineers issued the command.
our ability to OBSERVE the machine is delayed by 4 minutes, this however does mean it's 4 minutes ahead in time.
what you are reffering to is the very cool effect of large distances on light in space which means when you look up in the sky your exactly gazing into a patch work of events which happened millions of years go.
it'd be a hell of a lot less expensive if we didn't bother with stupid futile recycling gestures, such as putting out multiple bins to recycle things that actually cost MORE to recycle and produce more toxic chemicals then if we just used raw materials to start with. eg. paper.
also look at it this way. here in australia we have 2 bins, one for trash one for recycling. this means you need 2 trucks to collect your trash, which means 2x the fuel burnt to collect it, which i'm sure mitigates any environmental benifits you would have gained in recycling in the first place.
the difference, is this is a cash for comments style scandal. no harm in having banner ads, but your opinions should reflect the truth not you advertising. otherwise why would we bother listening?
thats just crap. landfill is only articfically expensive because of morons thinking we are so how running out of space. look around chumps, if there's one thing we have it's space.
what are you talking about? normal mining is plenty toxic as it is. dig a deep hole looking for ore and your assured of running into fiberous material (asbestso) at the very least.
same here. metals, oil, gas... rubbish piles have all of them in 100x the abundance that natural deposits do. whats lacking is methods to get them, no doubt some clever cookies will figure that out once the price is right.
it's a FOUR YEAR PLAN. ffs that's terrible, AND it's cingular who are shocking.

the itunes phone was as much apple as it was motorola. it is called THE itunes phone after all, stop making excuses for them and trying to scape goat using motorola.
the newton was shit, face it. please name the pda's it's more powerful than now? i'd love to hear you explain that one.
the original imac's where horrible pieces of junk, it wasn't until they got past version 4 that they improved
the cube was just rubbish, a terrible attempt to be over cool. there's also collectors for types of brown paper, it's no proof that something is worthwhile just because some losers consider it worth collecting.
anyway, that was some since spin, you might find a job working for bush with that kind of spin.

i can do this with my years old GPS device. nothing new here.
looks like your optimistic about a phantom product - i know which attitude i'd be adopting.
the fact is, RIAA should have nothing at all to say about this, and the fact they are jumping up and down about it says volumes about their lack of respect for the public and artists rights.
not only that but the data isn't free, its pay for with a super expensive phone purchase and an expensive phone plan.

so whats your point, your confirming it's usefulness
actually genius you cant, it's called mail fraud, and carries heavy pentalies similar to this.
sorry typo there "this however does NOT mean it's 4 minutes ahead in time."

well, it's not really 4 minutes in the future, it's more that their calander year is shorter.
so if aliens landed on earth and drove 11km you'd think they had seen everything earth has to offer?
america, land of the not so free.

hell yellow cake is found 180m at times
because it's running at fuck all watts, thats why. microwave ovens are 800 - 1000 watts, where wifi runs at milli watts.
so what? C02 is an ineffective greenhouse gas. water vapour is what produces most of the earth greenhouse.
same here. metals, oil, gas... rubbish piles have all of them in 100x the abundance that natural deposits do. whats lacking is methods to get them, no doubt some clever cookies will figure that out once the price is right.
so if china does it it's shocking, i wonder what it'd be called if you yanks did it
