is this measure to be enforced, given that most spammers are not operating from the States? How do I, Joe Consumer, expect to be compensated for the oodles of spam that I am sure to continue receiving after this bill is passed?
Truly, I felt dissapointed by this article. I, for one, would love to have watched the aluminum atoms scream in fear as they hurl themselves from their crystalline structure into a molten soup before the awesome power of the Death Laser!
Nokia's N-Gage mobile gaming device has been cracked Posted by Dennis on 11 November 2003 - 14:50 - Source: SPOnG.com
Mr. Belvedere, our Club CD Freaks Moderator, used our news submit to tell us that Nokia's N-Gage device has been cracked according to this information. The Nokia N-Gage device is primarily a handheld gaming device but it can also be used as an MP3 player, wireless browser and last but not least as a telephone.
The games that were designed for the N-Gage will of course only work with the Nokia device but not anymore. Now that the security on the N-Gage has been cracked the games can be played on other mobile phones as well such as the Siemens SX1:
Nokia will today be licking its wounds and doing a fair amount of worrying, with the revelation that the N-Gage's security has been cracked like an egg, with other manufacturers' handsets able to play the machine's software.
Specifically, the Siemens SX1 is already capable of running N-Gage games, with Sonic N being the only game seen in public, though it's expected that the others won't be too far behind.
This is expected to be the start of a process that will see third-party hardware add-on sales of devices that will enable many phones to simply suck up the N-Gage content, then go on their merry way.
Nokia's reaction to this new, seemingly unforeseen problem, will be interesting to observe, to say the least.
Some screenshots and video's of the Siemens SX1 mobile phone running the Nokia N-Gage games can be found on Club-Siemens. More information on the hacked N-Gage can be read here and here.
Let me start by saying I hate you very, very much. I dispise your policies and your politics.
That being said, I implore you to take my vote for the presidential canditacy of 2004.
To shake up the powers that be, I feel, is the only way we can truly seperate ourselves as not a democracy, but the constitutional republic that we happen to be, from the corporate global new world order that is most likely inevitable.
Sure, you will probably continue down the path of the PNAC agenda, and sure hundreds of thousands will probably die in the wake of cleaning up from the party(ies) of the fudamementalist extremists in Washington, those hiding in caves, and those who are just watching the numbers as our future is being gambled away, not unlike a horse race, where there is only the "old-school" trainers allowed to practice the 1/2 mile sprint.
I understand that your allegence is to the money-men and in order to achieve those goals you probably will pimp out our country to whatever the ghosts of Orwell tell you to to; that will make us safer from the evil, evil boogeyman called "_blank".
Even though those with any rational views of reality will tell you that the chances of a US citizen being killed by a "terrorist attack" on American soil is LESS likely than being struck by lightning, or slipping in our own bathtubs, or an automobile fatality, We as Americans are your sheep, and we apperently do as we are told.
We, as Americans, have grown to love war instead of peace, slavery instead of freedom, and ignorance instead of stregnth.
We have grown to accept that it really doesn't matter who gets elected next year, considering 1.) Diebold 2.) That all candidates have a close relationship to the CFR 3.) That the foreign policy of creating a "hornets nest of unrest" in the muslim world is a strategic advantage of perpetuation for any think tank that claims to act under the notion of National Security.
There are many of us that do understand what is going on, and feel more helpless when CIA printed document surface in "al-Qaeda" madresses, indoctrinating the youth to hate Jews and Americans, while these same "intelligence assets" help us win "jihads" in the Soviet Union and in the Balkans.
We understand that You have won. We understand that there will be no real change. We pretend to understand that bombing people will make them love us.
What we don't understand is why you let them win. Your husband did his share to arm al-Qaeda in Kosovo, just as the Bush regime set up Ansar al-Islam to act as "al-Qaeda instigators" in Iraq.
Just as Mohammed Atta worked for an "elite US/German government exchange program" and was trained by very suspicious "flight schools", and over 1/4 of the 9-11 hijackers were trained at secure US military facilities.
We know the score. The sheeple are staring to awake to the agenda of the Project for a New American Century.
This is the part of the play where you step up to the plate, make empty promises, take back this country, because then, and only then, will the American-hating neo-conservatives have something to complain about; how they would have made it all worse.
Advertisements are a necessary part of a free-market economy. Without ads, there would be no broadcast TV or radio. People would not be aware of new products and services that are available for them. Without ads, there would definately be no free internet. The point is, that nothing is free. Someone has to pay for it, and this usually comes in the form of advertising. If companies were not allowed to go around blasting their wares in your face all the time, our economy would collapse. YOu don't want the economy yo collapse, do you?
society was somewhat of a game already! Ever wonder about why some people can get away with murder (*cough* OJ *cough*), and others are shipped off to death row? It's because thay have more mon^H^H^Hpoints!
I hope Bill Gates doesn't hear about this practice... Besides, aren't they OBLIGATED to fix software that they wrote and sold to people when its discovered to be insecure? I don't see how Apple thinks they can get away with this.
Anyone hear anything about some research corporation finding an amazing processor in a robot from the future?
It's been donated from that spammer who was looking for a AMD time warp generator. Seems he ahd to trade some of his uber future technology in order to get back home.
I fail to see how the telemarketers lose money by not being able to call people who are not going to buy anything anyway. They're almost as whiny sounding as the RIAA!
What is the difference between a person who records songs from the radio, versus one who records songs from the internet? They are both free to the end user. If you say that recording from the radio is piracy also, then the question of recording TV shows/movies arises. And don't say that the difference is in the commercials, because anyone who doesn't want them invading their media can eliminate them quite easily.
The RIAA is overlooking the obvious here. Music can still be traded, "pirated" or whatever WITHOUT the use of p2p nets. Are they going to make tape recorders illegal? After all, you can record a song off the radio and listen to it, or (OH NO) copy it for a friend. Same goes for VCRs and copying movies. If you wanted to, you could still create a digital version from a tape or CD and send it to your buddy via email. Those greedy bastards are just try to milk a dying cow here. They have no respect for the intergrity of the art itself and only care about the almighty dollar. When a song is played, it does not belong to just the artist or record company. It belongs now to everyone that hears it. Before we know it, they'll be suing people for humming or whistling copyrighted tunes at work!

Wow. Darl sounds as if he almost has the oratory prowess of the Shrub!
I think its about time some sense was shown in a state government.
I for one, welcome our new openly standardized overlords.
anyone read Foundation?

So how much energy does it take to heat 60 pounds of wood chips to 800 C? What kind of efficiency can this thing possibly have?
