pretty much every form element has been conquered by CSS so far, letting us create stylish, integrated forms to tie in closely with our site designs for that UI polish graphics artists love to have.
Ummm, hello, welcome to slashdot. graphics artists? no where to be found.
The fact that you can't understand the simple difference between a copy and a stolen item is very telling of your intelligence. What do for a living? I bet it's really stimulating.
I agree with you actually, "Theft is taking something that doesn't belong to you without permission". Good thing when you download a movie, you aren't actually TAKING anything. You are copying. Jesus, maybe you should look that one up too.
The whole point here is this:
Stealing != Copyright Infringement
Firstly, Fuck off, okay? I never said I supported any sort of copyright infringement, so drop the whole "what you are doing, you you you, witch!" horse shit, okay?
Second off, get off your fucking high horse and take a firm look at the ACTUAL DEBATE THATS GOING ON HERE. We're not talking about 'semantic games' we're talking about what theft is, and this is NOT it.
Finally, you are wrong yet again. "What you are doing isn't recreating someone's work." Actually, that's EXACTLY what someone who is infringing copyright is doing. copying a whole lot of ones and zeros that make up a digital stream of colors and pictures and sounds, REGARDLESS OF CONTENT.
seriously, shut the fuck up and go back to reading the fucking care bears.
When you take something from someone else, and they no longer have it, that's stealing.
When you go over to someones house (after they invite you in, of course) examine an object of theirs, and go home and make your own... That's copyright infringement. Assuming, of course, that object was in fact under copyright and not public domain or anything.
Yeah, but they don't care. They want people to think it IS theft, so they just keep repeating it, and eventually people start to repeat them without thinking. Afterall, "theft" is much easier to fit on a headline the "copyright infringement".
I bought a 1.25 ghz. G4 PowerBook over a year ago and haven't looked back since...
Yeah, so you're PowerBook is still close to being one of the fastest ones today, over a year later? No wonder you are indifferent to the rumors. Here are the facts: Apple hasn't updated the powerbooks in over 8 months. 283 Days to be exact. The prices have also remained the same. They are LONG overdue for an update, hence all the rumors. Do you really think it's wise to buy a PB that's likely to be updated/price-reduced in a matter of weeks?
Blizzard's annual holiday festivities have resulted in a hilarious holiday mp3 being made available
Not only that, Blizzard has also made avaliable many in-game festivities, such as snowmen and snowballs. Perfect for whiping at the neighbouring horde villages.:)
Thats nice, but you should really give Adium a try. Not only is it completely free, it uses LibGaim as it's backend and has a more beautiful and customizable front end then Proteus ever will.
Mr. Tenet, who retired in July as director of the CIA after seven years, warned that al Qaeda remains a sophisticated group, even though its first-tier leadership largely has been destroyed.
It is "undoubtedly mapping vulnerabilities and weaknesses in our telecommunications networks," he said.
Uhhhmmm... wasn't the entire reason the internet was created was so that the government could have a communications network that would survive, say, a nuclear attack? You know, all that data-can-find-its-own-way-there-if-certain-routes- are-blocked/down/blown-up stuff?
um, precisely what the fuck are you talking about?
I can see that you may seem to think that we can download music legally, and we can, although uploading it IS in most probability, illegal. I say probably, because it hasn't yet been tested in court. For more information on the topic of music sharing in Canada, I would suggest visiting CanFLI.
But movies? SOFTWARE? You are only fooling yourself, so stop trying to bullshit others into your fucked up and misinformed point of view and go pay your damn software license fees, you fucking pirate. I mean seriously, did you even bother to research this, or did someone on IRC just tell you and you assumed it was true? jeez...
As the wikipedia article on Penny Arcade, your characters/alter-egos full names are Tycho Brahe, after (so we assume) the danish astronomer, and Jonathan Gabriel, who'se only reference I can find in google is a gay male porn star (no, I'm not joking, google "Johnathan Gabriel" yourself)
Although there are probably a million better questions that could be asked, I'm pretty interested by this little bit of trivia, so I would like to know: How did you come up with these names, and why?
Haha, sure, right, because a lot of TVs are equipped with wireless, yet alone enough wireless bandwidth to allow DV's 3.6MB/sec bitrate. And sorry, but when did the iPod get wireless?
In short, WHAT THE FUCK are you talking about? Maybe, maaayyybbbee in a couple of years we will see the tech (or combination of existing tech) necessary to allow that kind of stuff, but us here in the present are talking about what was just released. Why don't you get your head out of your ass and join us instead of blabbering on about what some imaginary device might be able to do.

First a story about Australian online gambling, then a story about crocs, now this? What the hell? Slashdot is way too Australia centric. :(

**HUGE SPOILER**
You will die alone.
This could be as awesomely effective as CANSPAM was.
...what? it wasn't?

Quit buying into their shit.

You just keep waiting for the price reduction. I'm sure it'll be along any day now. No, really!
What was that? They are here today? Yeah, I thought so. Shut the fuck up.

It MUST be true!

Be warned... do you really want to see it? :P
nope, it's a good thing. Less dumb users who can't handle spy/ad-ware or spam -> greater security for everyone else.

Two words: metric system.

Their Power5-based servers are proving to be extremely profitable. And the IBM CPU based game consoles coming up will help matters greatly.
Is IBM's microprocessor division a part of the PC division? I was under the impression that they were seperate entities.

oh wait, thats china...
I don't know about you, but I was surprised to learn that JFK still has relatives that haven't died under mysterious circumstances.

It would seem that this time, Netcraft really did confirm it.
Bravo.
