Control, thats what its about. By making DeCSS a violation of the DMCA they can control what you do with what you own in a way thats profitable to them. Next they put a broadcast flag on commercials, and makes it impossible to fast forward via tivo style. Write a hack? Go to federal prison. Use the hack? Go to federal prison. Discuss the hack? Go to federal prison. It will soon be a crime to act in an unprofitable manner. Control, thats why.
I cant find the email (I think it was posted to a debian list) but someone does a good job of putting a lot of dvd jon rumors to rest. Hes not a good guy, hes anti open source, anti linux (he may have changed his tune now that he has undue popularity here) he DIDNT write decss, someone from Germany did. He wasnt going to release it to anyone, his system was hacked, or he put it in a public share (on his windows box he didnt use linux) and it got out that way. Hopefully someone posts the e-mail Im talking about, because Im being so vauge on the details.
I work for a cellular company. The wnp top 100 msa only is where your number is based from, if it is not based in one of the 100 largest msa's, no wnp for you until may 19th.
Most religions have a son of god, born of a virgin women that comes to die for salvation of people, and is suppose to come back some day. I spend a lot of time studying religions, and I can tell you christianity is probably the least unique religon there is. I see your email, I got a link that lists 2000 religions that are almost word for word identical to christianity Ill send it.
This isnt quite as 'christian' as you think. Most religions are almost exactly the same. All the religous ideas in here can be attributed to almost any religion. Even Hercules (son of god, born of a virgin women) died went to hades for 3 days before comming back to the living world.
What exactly would you sue them for? As long as they make some kind of minimul effort (say a $5 credit for the time lost) then theres nothing to sue for.
That wouldnt even come close to working. I havent seen Cingulars contracts, but I can garuntee you there is a provision in there that states that service isnt guarenteed. Its the nature of cellular service, you will not get service 24/7. This looks to be a large problem effecting lots of people however the contract you have between them and you is between them and you the lots of other people are irelavent. You should check on getting credits for the outage, if you cant use your phone theres no reason to pay for that portion of service.
Have you ever been to Tulsa 2600? suroot BTW, I remember a while ago Bill Bartlet had a survelence tape of his co parter talking about setting him up on exactly what hes charged with, I saw it on the news once but havent heard about since. Do you remember this?
...and you hit the nail on the head. I have 3 telemarketing companies within 3 miles of my house, lots of call centers to. Ive heard were a major telecom hub due to our location (Tulsa) The sleazy business/litteralist is right on the head. It seems the more they have their head in the bible, the sleazier they are.
What exactly is catching a convicted felon? An escaped inmate, or wanted person I could understand but what are you going to catch a convicted felon doing?

Ataris to, I think they had it first. Apple had it if I remember right. SAM rocked.
I saw the lawyer that was suing them on a morning talk show, and after every sentence he said he then tried to compare them to tobaco companies.
