I only viewed the first one (100) but the chick wasn't very good at playing the game. Every time she "touched" the blocks it said poor...at least she looked good doing it...ok it didn't look good at all...
the fact that we've all turned to stealing our software/games/music/movies rather than paying for it?
Excuse me, but I do not steal my games/music/movies...I don't pirate games. I buy every game that I own because I support them making more games and they diserve it. I agree that if we do pirate games, that they won't make good games anymore. I download music now and then, but 99.9% of the time i go out and buy the cd. that.1% of the time it's a hard to find cd or song so I keep it.
Movies, I prefer to have the dvd packaging and such. I don't download movies (unless you count porn and I don't think that industry is suffering at all).
Software...now this is something I do pirate...why? Because I'm a broke ass college student and can't afford to pay $180 for Office XP...Plus I don't use it all the time. Now and again I may jump on it to type a letter or something for school, other than that I don't use it. This is how I justify it...if you don't like it oh well...I'm the one who will have to take responsibility for my actions...not you...And let me ask you...do you think it's making money that's important or making good music? If artists would stop bitching and complaining about their damn cd sales and sit down and make some good music then they wouldn't have to worry about people going out and buying their cd's. The RIAA and MPAA has lied to us for so long about all these artists and movie people losing billions over us pirating music and movies....bullshit...it's all bullshit...I'm sorry that Ben Afleck can't buy his thrid porsche or Brittany Speeres can't buy he leer Jet...wait a second no I'm not! Stop spending so much damn money and maybe you wouldn't need so much damn money to support you gluttonus habit of buy everything on the fucking planet...because you can...Oh and my whole point was don't throw us all in the same pot...we aren't all the same...
Too bad most places you put a password don't allow 50 characters l33t d00d! Heck every once in a while I'm limited to 8 characters...where are you putting in these 50 character passwords l33t h4x0r!!??!
I like to use the first letters from a certain phrase and add the year at the end, that way i just remember the phrase and after typing it in several times I can type it really fast. My friends call me wacko that I have 13-15 alpha-numeric passwords. They can hardly remember their AOL password let alone a 13-15 alpha-numeric password. Noobs.
Yeah, but have you ever tasted british chocolate? Hell I would give up my password for a Turkish bar, Yorkie bar, or even a Sherbert Fountain. No wonder the Brits teeth are messed up!

>> 99% of the world out there isn't gonna hack their Xbox
exactly. and that's why every single one of these articles is bunk
I can see right now that these articles that speak about people hacking their consoles is only going to make people think MORE about hacking their consoles. It's all about doing what your not supposed to that's so appealing. I personally don't own a PS2 or Xbox...I will however be getting a PS2 shortly and I WILL be hacking it with a mod chip. Why? Because it's my money. Because I want to play back up copies. Because I want to play imports. Because I can.
Actually, you can change it from speaker to talking just like a phone up to your ear. I even think you might be able to do that same thing with a headphone jack. So you don't always have to have it on speaker phone when answering you nextel.
Nintendo's big problem is a series of bad business decisions they made back in the N64 generation, which caused a number of third party developers to jump to Playstation.
Not only that, but the way they are marketing the Gamecube now. I hate how a lot of the games now (Zelda, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Animal Crossing, etc.) you have to have the gameboy advance to take advanatage of special features of the game. Which is fine if you are loaded and/or a parent that doesn't mind spending money on their kids.
I personally just bought a Gamecube for myself and am getting more and more irate as I see games that you have to have the GBA to take advantage. Final Fantasy is one I'm speaking about in particular. You can't enjoy multiplayer action on the game unless you have gameboy advances. I don't know, I might be singing a different toon if I owned a GBA.
I missed the trilogy that they hadin the theatre's and I'd really wish they would set up another time where that could take place. I know many people that missed out on it and want to have another chance. Even if they set up three seperate theatres to play them and walk from one theatre to the next I would do it. Anyone else feel this way?
I haven't read the books yet, but I plan to after seeing the movie. I'd like to make a couple points.
First, I have seen movies then read the books, and vice versa and I think that everytime I have seen the movie then read the books, the books end up being different most of the time and I thouroughly enjoy the little extra development of a character or an addition to the story. Example, I've seen A Clockwork Orange numerous times, then I saw the book in the library and picked it up. A lot of parts were different and it made me understand more parts.
Second, I think that any movie that comes out that actually makes you want to go get the books and read them is a good thing. There are a lot of people out there I'm sure that don't read very much, they just sit in front of the computer or TV and want everything displayed in pretty colors and an entertaining way. If people actually pick up a book and read, then I say that the director has accomplished something (whether he wanted to or not!)
And to what this original post is about, I think the best movie's were LOTR's and I enjoyed the Matrix movies as well. It helps too if you understand what they are supposed to be about. I feel empty though now that the main movies that I wanted to see are done with (Matrix and LOTR). Hopefully we will get some more witty Screenwriters and Directors to make some more excellent films.
For instance, there's a particular album I've actually bought four times (damn thieves have stolen it three times.) It's no longer in print. My CD of it is in another country in storage at the moment. At least under the laws where I live now (I'm not sure about current US law - is anyone? But this would be legal in the US until recently at least as well) it's not infringement if I download mp3s of that same album to listen to until I can get my CD shipped.
Now if the RIAA notices that I'm downloading the file, they would be reasonable to sue me over it, but I would have an affirmative defense by demonstrating that I had in fact already payed for the material so it would be a hassle but it would eventually be dismissed.
That doesn't matter though...the RIAA isn't going to give a shit if you bought the cd one million times, four times, or one time...the whole point of the subpeona's are that you are downloading the music...so I really doubt that it would be eventually be dismissed in a court of law.
First of all, isn't a good thing that Microsoft Researchers are thinking of using Linux for their research needs. It only makes sense to use a stable free operating system that's highly configurable to keep track of all their data. In the research situation, I agree that it's better to have mass storage than fast computing. In a few years they would just have to upgrade again.
