will simply buy the relevant dvd( I do have some morals) , download the unencumbered HiRez.torrent and watch that on my Knoppix/MythTV box. That way no chance of having a device futzed up by the natzi's.
I wonder if this is why cat owners defend their right for their cat to crap all over one's lawn, whilst at the same time throwing a hissy fit if your dog so much as looks at their's (declaration of interest here: my neigbour's a cat lover and threw one this morning, a fit not her cat. I've noticed logic does not have a great influence on her life)
name a contract, deal or treaty that the US hasn't broken when it's in its interests to.
note: you can replace US in the above sentence with the country of your choosing
Proposals have just been put out by our wonderful 'space cadet' goverment to require anyone carrying any cash over £1000 to be able to prove they came by it honestly and be subject to seizure if they cannot.
Now I honestly don't know which is worse, the UK or the US. I'm moving to Spain as soon as possible,as I'm reasonably well educated I'll probably be classified as an assset to the Uk and emigrating will be illegal soon. its turning into Germany in the 1930's
In other news a woman was arrested charged and convicted for reading out a list of the war dead in front of our parliment, Its getting really bad
If you can do it do it if you can't dont, I've fixed countless things using bits of tape and odd things I've found lying about,
Best was a laptop, one of the first with a plasma screen given to me by my sisters boyfriend who had one on loan from the manufacturer ( begins with tosh.... ). He'd dropped it in the airport, his own stupid fault. he was throwing it out ( or hiding the evidence depending on your point of view:p )
Two hours later and 10 bits of wire and a lot of fiddly soldering, I owned of the first plasma screened laptops in the wild.
Regarding cold cathodes, all the guy is saying is 'be careful' , as in 'don't stick your dog in the microwave'
Mind you I know plenty of people who should be banned from owning any sort of tool
....are and have been made out of paper/wood, off the top of my head I can remember:
A British Leyland car made out of plywood for export to the third world in the '70's , can't remember the model but its on display at the British Motor museum at Gaydon in the Midlands. www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk
The Eastern German 'trabant' where paper(instead of fibreglass) and resin was used.
Of course the Engine/running gear is metal in both cases, but a lot of research is going on at the moment into ceramic composites for use in engines
Almost every part on a car can be substituted (at a cost) by a non metalic alternative, but metal has one great advantage from an enviromental perspective, it is almost always possible to recycle it cheaply.
Strange, how when they diagree or are bad mouthing companies they aren't journlists, but when money laundering oops sorry I meant 'campaign' finance/contributions are mentioned, they are........ I leave you to draw your own concusions
you REALY think corruption is a third world issue? (hint, your 'contribution' is my 'commission', is his corruption)
450$ per student? Is the DOD still using 5000$ hammers as well? This is just as simple as putting in a DSL line for the FBI and a VPN box
In a way this guy is right, the error everyone is making is in thinking about this in a technical way instead of in a lawerly (is that a real word? ) way the solution does not have to work, it just has to comply with whatever law is being used and a DSL line and VPN box probably would. It would be up to the FBI to prove to a (probably) technically illiterate judge as to why it wouldn't or why the resultant information supplied is useless to them
Phrenology is the understanding of human behavior, morals and attitudes by the study of the shape of the human skull, it follows therefore that retro-phrenology is the alteration of human behavior, morals and attitudes by the application of a 2X4 to the human skull. now as is self evident the latter works, therefore the former must be true also. (note believers in Creationism will be unable to see the flaw in this argument)
with apologies to Terry Prachett for the use of retro-phrenology
O.K I'll rise to this,
Who do you think does most damage to the human race as a whole?
1) a guy who lies about an occasional blow job, and who perhaps takes kickbacks( I mean that in the widest sense, not just cash in a brown envelope) from the media industry
2) a guy who causes countless deaths in aid of big oil corporations? (oh and who probably takes kickbacks in one form or another as well)
Has anyone noticed? there seems to be a correlation between the warlike nature of a country and/or its leaders and the increasing numbers of attacks on 'warlike' or 'violent' games, comics and video.
I wonder if anyone (reputable) has done a study. I seem to remember it happening here (UK) during the falklands conflict and 'video nasties' corrupting our 'youth'
As I said to my children shortly after they where able to walk and talk.... "the purpose of parents is to behave embarrassingly in front of them and their friends, to have an excuse to buy and play with toys, and to have someone able to look after them when old and incontinent" So far its worked out OK ( not the last part yet thank god )
Just an interesting fact I read about somewhere,.... there has never been a successful water ditching of a passenger aircraft, please correct me if I'm wrong. many many more lives would be saved if smoke hoods where provided instead of life jackets.
Cool..... so all we have to do is find the join and pull, I hope the universe is not long and thin Gaaaah!!! I've just remembered how hard it is to get gaffer tape off cable.
The internet was 'Invented' by the USA,when it built ARPAnet. However the worldwide web which is what most people (erroniously ) assume to be the internet was 'Invented' at CERN by Tim Berners-lee.
The US has as much, and as little, right to control the internet as any other country, Unfortunately at the moment it has more rights , which is the problem.
Its like comparing Hollywood history with real history!
Just a thought, wouldn't it be better if no-one had any council available to them, at least then you'd get a level playing field, intelligence and conviction would win out over the largest pocketbook
If the present goverment gets its way you could have said goodby to three months of your life as well, still better than a few bullets to the head tho'
The DRM is hacked...... otherwise whats the point? I have a dvd recorder I can do pretty much anything I like with, (provided I'm willing to mess about a bit with programs/disks etc

you are not a company we recognise as one of our sponsors, so of course we're going to check if your 'invention' is real

something else to have to wait till it gets the DRM 'corrected' out, anyone know where to get the patched version, is it out yet? lol

"the best democracy money can buy"
North Korea = repressive dictatorship
South Korea = windowless freedom
I KNOW there is a joke in there somewhere, but I'm dammed If I can find it

I bet it still has to slow down and circle for 5 hrs or so around the US, because otherwise it would be unfair to Boeing etc
