  1. Re:Some Problems on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    I have a mac. iBook. New and shiny. Please help.

  2. Some Problems on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    When watching this movie I'm having some problems keeping my frame rate up. Does this happen for anyone else, or are there any suggestions?

  3. Re:Preemptive legal action on Federal Judge Rules Against Reverse-engineering · · Score: 1

    I am a laywer. If I wanted to do pre-law research I wouldn't be posting my findings on a friendly server like /.

  4. Re:1984... on Webcams to Enforce Singapore Quarantine · · Score: 1

    Can you say "Brave New World"

  5. You mean Microsoft has a heart on Microsoft Shared Source -- With a Twist · · Score: 1

    Wow this must be the elusive hear that the Wizard of Oz gave the brave Gates when he demonstrated his hear towards the little developers out there.

  6. Ass on Screen on LCD Display/Image Capture Device · · Score: -1, Redundant

    So this means I can finally do what I've always waited to do! I can put my ass on the screen and scan it! Just like a photocopier. Props to the inventors of this.

    Very good point. The preemptive Iraqi attack is controversial at best. The main reason that our foreign policy does not follow our nations courts is law. The UN "laws" are not really enforcable to a superpower like us so, unlike a judge, we have no set in stone law to base a decision off of. Besides, we got an idiot and in the hot seat and we need the oil.

  8. Re:Wrong... on Pushing the Envelope For Matrix Reloaded SFX · · Score: 1

    This may be touted as something better.At some point we will be unable to produce something better than before. Besides, I don't think the Matrix will be remember for bullet time. Its going to eventually only be remembered for its amazing adaptation of its story line. p.s. Some say icons stink. Corporations make them so what were you expecting?

    This is a highly debatable legal tacit. Preemptivization requires that you are able to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that the subject would have used these tools! Now unless your the next Jonny Cochraine, this is fairly hard to do. A judge, as in this case, is not likely to accept preemptive lawsuits because all he can claim is he wouldn't use them, or would use them for his own purposes and not violate the intellectual property laws.

  10. Re:Mod Chips != copyright infringement? on Man Jailed for Selling Modchips · · Score: 1

    According to the DMCA the installation of a modifying device onto a patented technology (of which the XBoX is heavily) is a violation of the intellectual property contained within the XBox. The BIOS on the chip is not the only illegal thing. Its very installation is illegal. Once you buy something, contrary to popular belief, you do not own it.

  11. DCMA Specifics on Federal Judge Rules Against Reverse-engineering · · Score: 1

    No where in the DCMA does it say that reverse engeering is illegal. The only legal basis the jugde in this ruling had, is that reverse engineering could violate the companies patents!. This was a section design only to protect license abuses by other companies. The court's ruling is ambiguous at best and probably will be challanged higher up.
