omfg CCTV cameras in public protecting people WHAT THE FUCK HAS THE WORLD COME TO when you can't mug an old lady without FEAR OF BEING IDENTIFIED and prosecuted!!!!!1111
there are loads of things that gun makers could do to make them unusable by children or even people who don't own them. some have tried but were scared off because the retards at the NRA boycotted them, which gun makers can't afford.
and the US government couldn't give a sh!t about how many kids are killed so won't make the safety features legally required.
for some reason, the NRA freaks think "A well regulated milita..." means that regulations are unconstitutional...
I got loads of spams from a nightclub in Ontario. considering I'm in the UK, and email address ends in.uk, I don't know wtf they were expecting from me.
I'd expect the average lifespan of a USAmerican to be the lowest of all "developed" nations, and many others, mostly because of crappy diets and the fact you kill each other too easily.
yep, performances aren't about "perfection", they're about "interaction" with the artist.
if the artist hits a wrong note, forgets a word or whatever it usually doesn't ruin the performance. of course this is for the case of real artists who play their own instruments and write their own songs.
for the likes of Britney Spears etc. who have no talent or personality, "fashion-magazine perfection" is *all* they have, and their retarded audiences would no doubt demand nothing less.
anyone who can afford an internet connection can likely afford to pay, if not in one go then as a percentage of income. prison is a bad idea cos it costs so much. plus the ISP could share the info and get them "banned from the internet".
the ISP's could easily destroy the problem spam. since they're too lazy to do it for the benefit of their customers and their bandwidth, automatic fixed fines would really get things in shape.
you mean the really insightful "learn from mistakes" part, the defeatist "you can't beat a creative hacker" part, or the useful "let's not talk about this anyway" part?
it's not a case of "1 human vs. 1 human, therefore both are teh equal!!!1111"
it's a case of a closed source project being done by a relatively small group of people because they're being paid and have to meet deadlines.... vs.... an open source project being done in order to create a good program by a potentially huge number of contributers/checkers, usually without any deadlines and no need to release buggy code.
can outweigh the second ammendment when making some money by being a monopoly outweighs the first?
I don't think "free speech" should be used to allow copyright infringement or other illegal acts. I much prefer "being reasonable" over blindly following things written in another age like a regilious fundamentalist. I just wish that courts were reasonable and sensible all the time, not just when it meant protecting profits.
"The Matrix Reloaded sought to explain exactly how the consensual hallucination that most people in the film's universe mistake for real life is actually generated. This confused some cinemagoers, and just plain bored others."
er... no it didn't, that was the first film. but then, that wouldn't tie in with your manufactured theme of "recent BS" would it? maybe I'm one of those who were confused but AFAIK it was explaining the reason "the one" exists.
this article is terrible. I'm disgusted that it's from the BBC.
yes I paid for my windows and office. I have a second computer which I don't really use but play about with. sometimes I install windows on that computer without deleting it from my main computer first. this is probably against the strict interpretation of the license but I don't consider it "wrong".
it's like I'm the guy who occaisionally does 41mph on a 40mph limit road. but I'm not the one doing 70mph through a residential area where kids play in the street. while it may be true to say we're both speeding, life is not "black and white" and people who try to view it like that aren't usually very "moral" themselves.
the law (and licenses) are usually strict to offer the most protection, but people always know that in reality there's room for discretion.
I've been using my bank before internet banking was even available. I wouldn't change just because its implementation isn't ideal. IE isn't my primary browser, but since I can't uninstall it anyway (and no other OS meets all my requirements) it's not really relevant. even if I could uninstall it I probably wouldn't as it's useful as a fall-back for any badly designed sites that "need" it to display properly.
a DVD player isn't an option for me since I have to move my stuff about a lot (student). personally, I think they're crap. I can understand them if you have a great TV and sound system, but otherwise they're just bigger, more expensive, and less functional versions of a DVD-drive in a PC, which I already have.

won't somebody *PLEASE* think of the criminals...
what "individual right" is being taken away?
I live in UK and I'm sure Statutory Rights cover most of what the parent-parent said.
This is of course wrt commerce, you obviously give away rights such as free speech when being in military intelligence.
but AFAIK, nothing can take away your statutory rights, and any EULA that asked you to would be meaningless.
I'm the type of person that villifies the NRA.

because a "social contract" benefits society by restricting the things individuals can do. majority benefit > minority benefit.
whereas a EULA restricts the rights of a majority (everyone except the owner) for the benefit of a minority (the owner).

I got loads of spams from a nightclub in Ontario. considering I'm in the UK, and email address ends in .uk, I don't know wtf they were expecting from me.
this kind of stuff I so retarded.
indeed I just checked my uni email: 48 virus warnings in the last few hours, no spam.
suspicious.
plus I just downloaded beta2 and am about to burn the iso's. ffs.
isn't separation of church and state implied by the first ammendment?
your patenting method is very inefficient in that it requires you to write new things.
I suggest simply writing a perl script to print off every previous patent with the footer "utilizing the internet" added.
I'd expect the average lifespan of a USAmerican to be the lowest of all "developed" nations, and many others, mostly because of crappy diets and the fact you kill each other too easily.
US literacy rates aren't too great either.
I suggest moving to Cuba. seriously.
exactly, they were performers, not artists... your point?
yep, performances aren't about "perfection", they're about "interaction" with the artist.
if the artist hits a wrong note, forgets a word or whatever it usually doesn't ruin the performance. of course this is for the case of real artists who play their own instruments and write their own songs.

it's not "theft", it's "copyright infringement"
hmm... if people sue churches for "acts of god", can chuches sue diamond manufacturers for copyright infringement?
then... start charging people for licenses to have kids "in his image"
this is probably the RIAA's only hope
will this make KDE less "sluggish"?
imo KDE kicks the crap out of anything in terms of functionality and appearance, but everything feels like a real effort to do.
I think in the print edition of new scientist a couple of weeks ago. ffs catch up.
robot news is boring. please set up a robot category so I can filter it.

understand the reason and you'll answer your question.
