According to a new report by Digital Music News, 36.4% of the world's computers have LimeWire installed. I have it installed, but I don't use it. I wonder how that figures into their statistics.
Rimmer: Lister, where's my revision timetable? Chen: Sir, it's Saturday night! Lister: Come on, no one works Saturday night. Rimmer: You don't work any night. You don't work any day. Lister: `Skive hard, play hard,' that's our motto! Rimmer: Look, I've got my engineering re-sit on Monday; I don't know anything. Where's my revision timetable? Lister: Wait, is this the thing in a- in all different colours, with all the subjects divided into study periods and rest periods and self-testin' times? Rimmer: It took me seven weeks to make it. I've got to cram my whole revision into one night. Lister: Hang on, this the thing with a note on it, in red, said, "Vital, valuable, urgent! Do not touch on pain of death!"? Rimmer: Yes! Lister: I threw it away. [laughter all around the table] Rimmer: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, tee-hee. Where is it? Lister: Nah, I didn't. I pinned it up on the wall. Rimmer: What? Why?! Lister: To dry it out! [giggling] Rimmer: What do you mean, "dry it out"? Lister: Well I spilt a goat vindaloo on it. Don't worry, it's a little bit red, but you can read most of it, especially if you scrape the lumps off. [more laughter at the table] Rimmer: You spoilt my...! No, I haven't got time, I'm taking learning drugs and all I'm memorizing is this conversation. Olaf Petersen: They're illegal! Selby: Oohhhh! Rimmer: [trance-like] "Where's my revision timetable, Lister?" "It's Saturday night." "No one works Saturday night." "You don't work any night. You don't work any day."

This is a tough one for me as I oppose copyright that extends beyond the durability of the original work (see signature). But still, the durability of a work's creator(s) must also be considered. If you're not alive to make more, no continued royalties will be any incentive.
In fact it will become a disincentive for anyone to explore that form of architecture again. Maybe even to tear down the pyramids found in Las Vegas and Paris, France, or even the obelisk in Washington, D.C., as infringing works.
Does that include the passion for leather, as in cow hide, chairs? It could be worse. Imagine those leather seats if "naturalist" was a euphemism for "nudist".
Moderator, I'll have you know all those came from either Acronym Finder, Acronym Attic, or The Simpsons "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind", and were all intended in humor. And in fact there was no entry for "QUILTER" at either site (I chose not to take it as QUILTer from these hits).

The last set I went to was horrible. Only one group had potential, then the lead singer opened his mouth and started spewing the most retarded lyrics I have ever heard, with one of the worst singing (shouting?) voices I had ever heard. It's not fair to judge all independent music by one performance of Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld.
Part of the problem appears to have been my own client-side stylesheet. Changing the rule div {border: 1px groove white ! important;} to div:hover {outline: 1px groove invert;} addressed the black-on-nearly-black problem. Not sure why though.
The reason I had such a rule? It fixed problem's with Apple's website where the way they center content on wider browser windows would be partially positioned off the left of the Firefox browser window where you could not scroll to it using my preferred narrower window. And it makes it easier to use Nuke Anything; I might just genericize it to just:hover.
But I think some of the problems may be by design. It gives it a more unpolished feel, running with the "nothing matters" slogan.
"Time as you know had a beginning, and time has an end, and then time begins again, as we shall each live our lives again, exactly as before. I have been gifted to see into the old Cycles of Time, not very clearly, mind you. But I have learnt that in the Future-Past, the Brunnen-G, the great victor in the War against the Insect Civilization, shall be destroyed at the hand of His Shadow. But after His Shadow leaves The Cluster, they will be destroyed at the hands of the Brunnen-G. This has happened before, it will happen again."
Maybe some sort of exra-dimensional black hole that we cannot detect with our current telescopes? Well, the thing about a black hole - it's main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour - is it's black. So how are you supposed to see them?
Cannot run out of time. There is infinite time. You are finite. Zathras is finite. This... is wrong tool. [rummaging] No, not good. Not good. No. No-- never use this!
There seems to be a chain of custody problem with evidence gathered in this way... who knows what the third party did before they gave it to the police. Once you identify the victim and get him/her to identify their molester to the grand jury, and especially if having the victim gets you additional physical evidence, that corroborates the video regardless of a broken chain of custody.
Now, that said, that doesn't make the evidence inadmissible. A comparable analogy is comparable to a thief breaking into someone's home, stealing his digital camera, finding child porn on that, and turning it in to the police. The police can still prosecute the victim of the burglary for creating the child porn in the camera, but the burglary victim can still press charges against the thief for stealing the camera.
Can the state offer immunity from an action brought civilly in exchange for testimony?
Bzzt! Wrong. That would only apply if they didn't give him the copies. It doesn't matter what they did with the copy; they didn't have authorization to make one.
Try camming a movie with the intent of giving the studio the tape and see what happens. Even if you don't get caught in the theater doing it, you've just handed the studio the evidence to prosecute you with.
Exactly what rights of his were violated? They were intending to violate his automatic copyright on his private videos by burning them to DVD, as well as view automatically copyrighted videos that had never been published. Didn't the MPAA get stiffer penalties passed for copying prerelease movies?
I agree, the geek squad guys are not agents of the State Of course not. The Geek Squad guys are agents of Best Buy. These are Firedog guys. They're completely different.
The MAFIAA has been drumming it into everyone that just because someone has files on his computer doesn't mean he or anyone else has a right to make additional unauthorized copies to blank CDs or DVDs. Everything is copyrighted, even if unpublished. It doesn't matter that he's an individual and not a corporate association.
They should have put in their own test disk of data, read from that, then burned that back. That way they'd have tested both reading and writing ability of the drive without invading anyone's privacy. Or if they were afraid of modifying blank sectors, they could have plugged in a company USB drive with data they had rights to copy for testing the DVD burner and used that data instead. Surely they have a drive with boot test ISOs from corporate they can burn to replenish their supply, or other promotional disks.
If they didn't find child porn, what were they going to do with the disk they burned anyway? Retain it for later data mining? Distribute copies? Give it back to the customer? Just throw it in the trash, or shred it first?
Snooping around in a customer's drive for data to burn is not necessary to perform a hardware test on a DVD burner, and is an attempt to violate his or others' copyrights. He could civil-sue Circuit City (5 times fast) for attempted copyright infringement with premeditation... or something like that. IANAL.
Imagine portals stuck to the front and back of your car big enough to swallow other cars. Or just one on the front and the other back at the starting line. Like a car racing version of the board game Sorry.
A pity they can't cut through larger objects. It'd be like you had your own oscillation overthruster.
A 12 year-old Norwegian boy saved his sister from a moose attack using tactics he learned playing WOW. He managed to 'taunt' the moose away from his sister and then 'feigned death' until the animal lost interest. I would have shielded myself and spammed my frostbolt. [turns and points at the last camera]
