I knew this would happen, you knew this would happen, and I'm pretty sure Kerry knew this would happen. But why would he simply roll over and die less than 24 hours after the election began? Before anything was solidified? The illusion of choice. Your votes mean nothing when the candidate you cast for concedes. They shouldn't be allowed to just Give Up. Fuckers.
"'At the time the RIAA announced its lawsuits, it said music sales had fallen 25% over a three-year period. The MPAA is in a much different situation. Box office receipts aren't down at all -- 2003's figures were $9.5 billion, the second biggest in history.'"
Which is it, Music or Movie Sales? And if it's Music, what do Music sales have to do with Movie downloaders?
"The article goes on to talk about how BT is no longer beneath the radar of those who like to sue file sharers."
Time to switch file sharing clients. Again.
I figured they were hurting after seeing their new ads on "Making the internet better." Maybe we'll finally be rid of this behemoth.
On the brighter side, AOL offers free, permanent services. Simply call them up after registering Without a credit card, and cancel. They'll offer you three months free to test out the service and make up your mind once more. Before this time is up, call back and cancel again. Voila. Three more months free. A close friend of mine did this for just over a year after his broadband was cut off.
Oh my god, so when I've advised my friends on things to buy and services I've enjoyed, I've infringed patents?! Oh No! These patent lawsuits are getting rediculous.
"Cosmic rays are extremely energetic particles that continually bombard the Earth, thousands of them passing through our bodies every day."
I feel so Violated.
Now they need to implement All of it into a PDA. Ah, a society where I don't have to carry an extra 20 pounds of items. I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. Maybe now I can start wearing cargo pants for a fashion statement and not for all my little gizmos.
With all the tech issues, browser hijackings, and virus scares, I've been learning Linux as a replacement. Wine seems to be supporting most of what I need, and I can't take much more of these insecurities... It's becoming rediculous. Simply going to a page can completely hijack a browser via scripts that download and run.cab or.exe files, and the vast majority of computer users have no idea how to remove or prevent this type of "Espionage." Remember when it was safe to browse the web with a windows based machine? Ah, Memories...
I've been blathering the same information across the office all morning. What freedom of choice do we have when our candidate concedes before the race is even over? Before everything is finally settled? Bush won due to Gore conceding in 2000, now to Kerry conceding in 2004. Does he have bully boys that visit their homes with legal AK47's to convince them? Bush. The worst president to not be elected. Twice. Goddamn.
Informative. I know a good amount about systems, believe me. I'm simply not a SCSI lover due to the price, and haven't built anything since ATA100 was the latest in technology. Don't mistake archaic knowledge for ignorance.;) Thanks for the info, though. On the other hand, you talk alot about proving worth, but you're posting anonymously?
So which is better, in light of this? Are the diehard SCSI fans right, or is SATA the real wave of the future? Asking 'cause I'm about to build a new system.
At least it ain't Mayo.;) All in all, local-syle cuisine is choice. Plate lunches fill you up and don't cost much... and give a shift of gears from the typical office questions of "Burgers, or Mexican?" that used to frequent when I worked in California.
I wouldn't say the Portugese Sausage is worth it[Though it's close], but the scenery, mood, etc is all reason to move. That is, if you can deal with tourists constantly blocking traffic as you go to work, rubbernecking at every little thing. And the state officials being semi-retarded. Other than that, let me know when you set foot on Hawaiian soil.;)
Spam is actually more popular than alot of people would assume. It's sold at McDonalds in Hawaii, and at 7-11. Personally, I can't stand it. But, locals love it.

"McDonald's says it will serve Spam for breakfast through the end of July and then decide if it is selling well enough to add to a menu that already includes rice, Portuguese sausage (another Hawaii favorite -- Portuguese sailors, mostly from the Canary Islands, were among the first non-indigenous people to take up residence in Hawaii) and saimin. Spam musubi is already sold regularly at 7-Elevens in Hawaii."
Thus far, every single day for the last two weeks, just to check... I've input my address [Maui, Hawaii] into MyPollingPlace.com. When it's actually up. And every single time, I receive this response.
You vote at:
Sorry, we have not received any information from your precinct.
It does list a few phone numbers, but any public service lines on Maui are nigh impossible to get through to. It took me roughly three months of calling constantly to schedule an appointment at the DMV. With the horrors happening in Florida and other states, it's a wonder Elections even function. Yeah, all this is common knowledge, but it's really disappointing to have public servants that are so lax in their duties.
I kept 'em in a stack, and left it on my shelf near my desk. It fell off the wall due to poor anchorage. Effing Ikea. Lo and behold, a half dozen shattered CD's due to potted plants landing on them, which were also on the shelf, and about two dozen others which were scratched due to being covered in soil, and being molested by my cat while I was at work. This is just one incident. =/
Alright, I'm one of the idiots that leaves his cd's in stacks through laziness, and more than once, I've had 'em shatter on me. Needless to say, scratchproof will make my life alot easier, but how far off are invulnerable discs? =/
Oh, most definitely. I thought it to be a shining ray of insight into the Democratic Party, laced with complete ignorance. Biased opinions always go across so well with me, but then again, I'm sure mine are of the same fashion. Thus, our wonderful little correspondence must come to an end. Congratulations on your opinions. You're entitled to them, though I disagree.:) This will be my final reply, though.:( Because filling my working hours with political bickering on Slashdot is not on my schedule to increase my 401k. Take care of yourself. Jesus loves you; but Only if you vote for Bush.
PS: Heterosexual.

I can hear the paperwork of divorces and welfare being shuffled across the desks of america already.
Wait, did I miss a memo? People respect CBS as a solid medium for reliable and unbiased news? Didn't that stop in like... the 40's?

Didn't see if it was mentioned, but Abu Ghraib is up now, it seems. I actually respected Google as a good source of info... but since it became public, things have just been on the ropes. =/
Which is it, Music or Movie Sales? And if it's Music, what do Music sales have to do with Movie downloaders?
