I think there were Japanese porn games for the Playstation. These were the in the anime-style kind mostly known as "hentai".
The reason I think this is that I received Electronic Gaming Monthly for a couple issues (sometime around '95 or '96) and I'm pretty sure they were reviewing those porn games in the magazine. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of the issue. I wonder if anyone can confirm this?
DC isn't a state anyway. Plus, it's essentially just one city (urban environment) where Democrats always seem to dominate. Most other states have a mix of urban, suburban, and rural environments that make the vote distribution more even.
Perhaps a counter DDoS against the money sites would be a good idea. The extortion email arrives and gives the information for the payment method, then DDoS that company. Tell the extorter that you sent the money, but they won't be able to check their account while the DDoS continues.
Will it be effective and stop DDoSes? No. But it will hurt some assholes and I think that's worth it.
I don't know how much money drug companies actually make from Canada, but I'm just going to mention a possibility. It is possible that, even though they don't make much money, drug companies sell drugs to Canada so that Canada won't start manufacturing drugs themselves (I'm sure Canada manufactures some drugs themselves, just not all of them).
There's not much to force a country to obey the laws of other countries (the WTO might complain). Countries in the past have stolen technology from each other. A country like North Korea wouldn't bother trying to trade for a drug they needed as long as they could make it themselves. And, considering that patents are matters of public record, it should be easy to start making drugs for your own country.
Software and book companies do a similar thing. They cut down the price in foreign markets (particulary Asia) in part to make some money and stop some copyright infringement, but probably also to prevent losing an edge to either international or local competitors. (I don't think drug companies have as many international competitors per se, since they use patents to protect a drug, not copyrights like books/software.)
I don't know if this is true, I'm just saying it's a possibility.
Perhaps if there were a special "Medical Court" that specialized in medical disputes (the same way Family Court specilizes in domestic affairs) people would get justice when they need it and innocent doctors won't get bilked by scum sucking leeches.
However, the Family Courts have been... influenced* by various political factions who have agendas, so that is a possibility with any Medical Court.
*Divorce attorneys, child support and domestic violence advocates seem to have had an affect on it.
There also seems to be some wrong information in the Forbes article/database of colleges. For instance, their NJIT information lists that there is no wireless network and no webpages for students, but both do exist. It might be the school's fault since the webpage shows the text "NR - School did not report" indicating that the schools participating answered a survey for Forbes/Princeton Review. Someone may have screwed up.
Of course, it would be nice if we knew more details of the questions asked. For instance, does a wireless network have to be campus-wide for it to count? What kind of multimedia equipment are they talking about and what do they mean by "provide"?
I think Jon Stewart asks all his guests softball questions. He's not trying to ambush/setup any of his guests, even if he knows they may be bullshitting him. I think he tries to maintain a level or cordiality to remain in the good graces of his guests. I think there may have been a few times when a guest was rude and Stewart got off a zinger or something.
The Daily Show will make jokes about people (or what they say or do) in "news" segments, but never when they are on the show as a guest. And that seems to be the general rule for all talk/comedy shows (I'm talking about Conan, Leno, Letterman, not CNN, MSNBC, FOX crap).
I think the topic of this discussion is a side-effect. I think, the question this all starts with is: how can you stop American politicians from being legally bribed?
Err... with guns?
Alright, so it won't actually stop a politician from being bribed, but it can make you feel real good aftwards.
My father seems to have recently (sort-of*) switched. He recieved a PowerBook because a company he is doing work for wants the development on the Mac. The stability and the interface seem to really impress him. Now, he even has an iPod and an AirPort Express. (Okay, so both of those are good even without a Mac.) He said that he (and the family) has a Mac before, but he switched to a PC because Macs were lagging in some areas at the time.
*I say "sort-of" because he still has Windows desktop and laptop, but he hates the spyware and other junk that gets on those. He seems to prefer the Mac.
You must not be from the U.S. You see, during the tech bubble here, many startup companies formed. They would attract investors with promises of the profit they would produce. However, many of these companies either produced no products or services, or very flawed products and services.
Basically, people were forming companies and had no idea how to make money from the internet, but promising they would.
So, it's funny that you would claim to be a startup and actually have a product.
1.) Hiding the nature of the file so law/copyright holders won't notice (as you mentioned).
2.) They are assholes. Just as a troll on slashdot will go to lengths to get you to view a disgusting picture, so do the P2P trolls go to incovenience other people.
I believe that the copyright of commission works automatically goes to the party who is paying for the creative work. If a rich guy pays an artist to paint something, the rich guy gets the copyright. However, the GPL would probably still apply in this particular case.
There is an interesting story I heard related somewhat (I hope it's not an urban legend). The most famous portrait of George Washington was never completed (this portrait appears on the one dollar bill). George Washington (or his family) had commissioned the painting, but the artist broke it off to maintain his copyright. People liked the painting so much that the artist could make a lot of money making copies for people. So, he never completed the portrait so that he would not lose his copyright.
(I don't know if he kept any money that Washington may have given him.)
It sounds like you are shifting the burden of proof on some of those. The burden of proof should be on the claimant not on the defendant(?).
For instance, John Kerry claimed that U.S. troops committed atrocities, so it is up to him to prove it. (I'm not actually familar with the hearings, so I can't really comment about them.)
Someone claims that Bush didn't meet his National Guard service requirements. It is up those claimants to prove that Bush didn't meet the requirements.
It's similar to asking "prove you didn't rob that store." It is up to the prosecuters to prove that you did rob a store. You are not required to prove something to their satisfaction.
It would be just as unfair to demand Kerry prove his medals are justified. Kerry's not required to prove the medals are justified. The SwiftVets are the ones who must prove they are unjustified because they made the claim (I think, I really haven't paid much attention to every detail of current political topics).
I disagree that reading will automatically make you a better writer. Older literature is written in an old-style of the language. Reading Shakespear and Beowulf probably won't make you a better writer because the language is just too different (also ignoring the fact that Beowulf wasn't originally in a form of English). You might get better by reading more modern works and even other essays that are considered good examples. And, to be cliche (which my English teachers apparently hated), "practice makes perfect."
There are also some modern-day "artsy" works that try to be all symbolic and cryptic as if to emulate older works. Just throw these away, please.
I don't necessarily mind reading the books my English class assigned, just please don't make me write an essay about any of them.
I also didn't like the way all the English teachers seemed to be preoccupied with finding phallic imagery...
Perhaps it is only Germans who are no longer patriotic. After WWI and WWII, I'd bet there'd be some pressure from people to stop the Germans from being patriotic/nationalistic.

Whoops, I shouldn't have put the word "other" in there, indicating DC is a state (it's not). It should just be "Most States."
DC isn't a state anyway. Plus, it's essentially just one city (urban environment) where Democrats always seem to dominate. Most other states have a mix of urban, suburban, and rural environments that make the vote distribution more even.
I'm not sure how old the page is, through, since I think some dates on the page list it as 2002.
This guy is a tool.
No, it was the Daily Show.
Perhaps it has something to do with obesity. I heard that Germany is number two when it comes to an obesity problem (U.S. being number one).

In my opinion, there is only one way to prove that UFOs are real: shoot one done and bring me the bloated corpses of the aliens!
I wonder if they brought up any children's letters to God?
