Can you whistle to me the Doom3 tune? its too ambient
and its too bland.
ID Games are a bad example. Likewise, can you whistle the Doom I or II tunes?
For that matter, can you whistle any of the Quake I sound track? Probably not, even though it was written by Trent Reznor.
On the other hand, you probably know the Quake II sound track by Sonic Mayhem. The track data is in CDDB, so somebody found it memorable enough to rip the game CD.
But I digress. Oh well, time to go listen to the soundtrack from Halo.
AIM includes WildTangent. You have to remove WT after installing AIM.
You can't just run an installer either, you have to go looking for it in the Windows folder, and delete it, otherwise it keeps running. The really infuriating part is I found a text file in the folder where it is installed that contains a long diatribe about why WildTangent doesn't consider their crap spyware. They can bite me. AOL should not work with these dicks.
Aggressive is a subjective term, so I stick by "suggested".
Katie Jones clearly states, "The other thing she tried to do was emotionally blackmail me, which I felt was extremely inappropriate." That's not subjective, unless you think blackmail could be a good thing.
This may be true but it's irrelevent to the context. The lawyer is pointing out that if Katie T, Penguin, et al, do trademark "katie.com", there may be legal implications down the road in terms of what Katie J will be able to use the domain for. Her existing non-commercial use of the domain, she's saying, will be valid, but anything else may pose legal problems.
I don't see how is this irrelevent to the context. Katie Jones was explaining exactly why she felt threatened by Parry when she says this. Parry was not just explaining either, she was lying to Katie Jones about not being able to sell the domain, and implying that because of the book the domain was not owned by Ms. Jones.
And remember, this is not Katie T's lawyer, this is someone who happens to be a lawyer who was working on a project with Katie T.
I'm not sure you can make that conclusion. The only thing Katie T. said is that she had worked with Parry and that Parry wasn't her lawyer. This most likely means that Katie hired Parry in the past, but that she isn't using her for legal counsel anymore. Katie T. didn't mention any projects with Parry.
A lawyer who appears to be under the impression (at least, she's representing herself as under the impression) that she's doing Jones a favour.
That seems weird to me. Is it even legal to tell people you're representing a client, when, in fact, you aren't representing that client?
All we know is that a lawyer, working on a project with Tarbox, suggested to Jones that she sell the domain to Tarbox, and when Jones refused, said that continuing to hold on to the domain would only make things worse.
I don't think threats count as suggestions. In Katie Jones' own words:
She then got quite aggressive and said things would 'only get worse' for me if I didn't give it up.
The other thing she tried to do was emotionally blackmail me, which I felt was extremely inappropriate.
From what I have read, nothing Jones has said implied in any way that any legal threats were being made.
Again, in Katie Jones' own words:
She also told me that I could not sell it to anyone nor use it for any other purpose because
she could prosecute as it's now linked forever to the book and it's subject matter. And she said that they were going to Trademark the term 'katie.com'.
Considering the title, I was expecting something like this:
CUPERTINO, CA (Reuters) -- A virgin was playing the Parker Bros. game with Steve Jobs, when he noticed the Apple CEO give himself an interest free loan. "That's not allowed under Monopoly version 3 rules", said the avid Slashdot reader, "You come to expect more from someone who plays a CEO in real life; it was clearly an abuse of the rules". Jobs, who was playing the banker in the game, could not be reached for comment. "I should have known when he insisted on being the car, leaving me with the damn boot", the virgin later lamented.
I know because he plead guilty. It was in all the papers. I wrote a serious review of it, and mentioned the author's arrest in passing. Amazon pulled it after a few weeks.
Wow, that's bizarre. It's interesting to note that he is not listed as an author on either the 5th or latest editions.
They removed a review that I wrote about a book on Java because I pointed out (in the context of a factual review) that the author had been arrested (and plead guilty on related charges) for crossing state lines to have sex with a 13 year old girl he met on the Internet!
I do the same thing with Perl books, and I still can't get Amazon to believe that Tom Christiansen was found dead with a goat, 16 feet of surgical tubing, duct tape, and a grapefruit. (I keed, I keed)
Seriously, though, dare I ask what book it was, and how you know?

The author did not perpetrate this crime, Penguin did.
Then why is the author's lawyer harassing the owner of the domain?
Everyone complains about having to compile software for Linux and that because of this "need" to compile linux is not ready for the desktop.
That is so 1997. No one complains about that anymore thanks to rpm, apt-get, etc.
Why do we have to tell the masses they are compiling. Create an application(or shell script) called GreatInstall which does the./configure , make, make install. This GreatInstall would be the envy;) of every Windows' User for its ease of installation.

Yeah, but your delivery... ;)
Okay, now imagine a Beowulf cluster of Beowulf cluster anniversaries. Oh, man, I just blew my mind!

Find a cute one to pose. I'll start the Sourceforge project.

This is why I installed GAIM. Problem solved!
BLASPHEMER!!!!! Ed is the standard text editor. :)
I like nano because you can jump right to a line number.
Oh, like in vi. :)
There's not a lot of room for emacs on an embedded system with a Momentum blade.
That being said, what about fmt logfile >logfile-formatted?
Well, that'd be fine, except the log file wasn't the issue. Fixing the config file was the problem.
No, you don't understand. Imagine this:
- You log into a machine to check some logs.
- You adjust the screen size to read the long lines in the log files.
- You realize the you need to change a configuration file.
- You run vi to change the file, and it says, "Terminal too wide".
- You resize the terminal.
- You run vi to change the file, and it says, "Terminal too wide".
- You resize the terminal again.
- You run vi to change the file, and it says, "Terminal too wide".
- You resize the terminal again.
- You run vi to change the file, and it says, "Terminal too wide".
- You beat the every loving crap out of the Sun box.
Why the fuck is there a hard limit?!? In summary, I installed vim.Fucked On Raw Deal

Ok, I'll stop now.
To all the Virgins: Thanks for nothing!
Wow, that's bizarre. It's interesting to note that he is not listed as an author on either the 5th or latest editions.
It's Katie T's lawyer that is harassing Katie J, not Penguin's.

Sun Microsystems: The air between stuff is the computer.
Lawyer: Mr. Mouse, you said want to divorce Minnie, because you think she's crazy?
Mickey: Listen good this time: She's fucking Goofy!
Sorry, had to...

Uh, that would be Gentoo. Or BSD.
Reply and ask her why her lawyer is harassing Katie Jones then.
No, but they have only one breast so that they can use a bow optimally.
The owner of Katie.com is from the UK.
