He said 'make our own tv shows' not 'copy fanboy's shows'. And people are doing their own original shows on the internet. And not getting cease and desist orders.
It's countries like Canada that allow it. They kowtow to Rogers, Bell, Telus, Shaw, and whatever passes for slimebags in Quebec. They make me waste money on U.S. proxies... actually not any more, I got sick of paying the view tax and found better things to do with my time.
Why did they need to waste money on a sting operation? Correction: why did they need to wast MORE money...? And granted the U.S. trades with China, but why the fuck would they source military parts from a country that is openly antagonistic if not outright aggressive to one of their allies, namely Taiwan? Or who backs North Korea all the way. Or who supports Iran getting nuclear capability. Don't they remember that Chinese fighter planes aggressively caused a mid air collision and forced an American navy surveillance plane to land in China a few years ago while it was flying over international waters above the the South China Sea?
What kind of bug fuck retarded moron in the military logistics department had them order parts for sophisticated military equipment from China anyway? America has an almost $300,000,000,000 per year trade deficit (that's THREE HUNDRED BILLION dollars) with China and they are spending Tax Payers Money buying military parts from there? If the government is going to spend hard earned tax dollars, they might as well buy from American companies who operate factories in America. Or does "Buy American" mean buying from companies who outsource jobs to China? Someone in the purchasing department at the pentagon needs a fucking kick in the balls and a slap up side the head. Gah! The country deserves what they get when they do this.
Man is this thing dumb. It assumes that we're going to be exploring planets with a GPS system. And by the way, if it comes with a red shirt, DON'T buy it.
Free speech is vastly more important. In the United States he wouldn't have been arrested for saying anything racist at all. And how about that, the United States has a black man as President. Just like you're... ahhh yes.... let us all know next time you have a non-white Prime Minister. Censorship is bullshit. It just sweeps the problem under the carpet where it can fester. Leave it in the open and it can be dealt with.
What you are saying is true, at least as far as males being more individualistic. But the OPs point is still valid. It is also well documented that men are better at handling spacial relationships than women, but women have better language skills. Here is an article on one of Discovery Channel's web sites that talks about these documented differences (don't let the site name throw you off, it is a decent article that sums things up nicely without dumbing it down to Homer Simpson level.).
That was my first thought. But this might end up being a good prod to get true high temperature superconductor research a super boost. One of the main methods used to detect submarines in the military are magnetic anomaly detectors usually attached to a plane or helicopter. The aircraft don't even need to dip them in the water, just fly over and look for magnetic anomalies (granted the sub needs to be fairly close... but I'm not sure if the military tells anyone what counts as really close). So the crux is that if this will help hide their subs, DARPA and the military might be inclined to shovel piles of money into high temperature superconductors. Although I'm sure they have financed this in the past, this direct applications of stealth for submarines could help with an improved cash flow (or maybe this project is financed this way already.... ?). mmmmm blah blah blah... profit! Or something like that.
Wasn't his whole point that you could just edit that file instead of rooting the phone? Well, no... because you need root to edit the file.
I'd say you are wrong because he didn't ask the question you said he asked. What he asked was:
"Actually, can't you just edit/etc/hosts, as you would on a desktop computer?"
He didn't say anything about "instead of". So I think maybe you were begging the question. And if not, you were answering a question that wasn't asked to incorrectly answer the question that was asked. So the answer is "yes, if you have root access."
Before 1865 (and probably for a good while after that) everyone in the Confederate States agreed that slavery was good and the right way to drive their economy. Up to the 1970s many or most in Alabama, Mississippi, and other southern states didn't think civil rights laws were needed or wanted. Majority should be viewed suspiciously when people want to use it as an indicator of what is right in terms of morality and behavior.
What you call an anecdote I call learning from someone else's experience. Learning from someone else's experience is something I learned from experience. It hurts less. It's also part of gaining wisdom. But keep thinking the way you do. It won't hurt me as long as you are far enough away. I might annoy me when you open your mouth, but that is another matter.
Me either. I used to live there for six or seven years. I have a lot of friends and am quite fond of Saint Louis where I lived (no better blues music anywhere... lot of live clubs). Although their politics leave quite a bit to be desired of late.
I agree with everything you just said, including Ubisoft and how I deal with them too. What's funny is that I think being honest and not pirating might also hurt the recording industry more too. Some might say that the people who buy will still buy. But I think it is more like, if less people listen, then the less others will be encouraged to listen (out of sight out of mind). Crowd behaviour can work in both directions, and the spill over will be in the reverse direction. It will encourage people to take the earphone out of their ears and be sociable with other people again, since the ones listening won't be in such a high proportion. Here's to sociability.
I know that trick wouldn't work with the new 100s and 50s in Canada (and soon the rest of the "paper" money). They are plastic now, like Australian money. And the Canadian bills have windows in them and holograms as well as monopoly money colours.:) Mind you, thanks to the low tech watermark it didn't work that time either. I find it aggravating sometimes in the 'States when I go to pay and pull out a wad of green and can't tell the ones, fives, tens, twenties, and fifties apart right away if they happen to have become bunched up. Colours and coins for smaller values help a lot there.
It's a movie but based on a true story. And thanks to your 880 reference it only took a few minutes to find it on snopes.com. But he didn't have the scam going as long as I remember and he got caught a different way... maybe that was the way they caught him in the movie. But I know I read about the story and never saw the movie. I would have remembered that. Thanks... I'll have to watch it now.
I think you have to look at where the value is. How I look at it is that if I make a copy of a CD or DVD I buy for my own use on my phone or as a backup, it has no inherent value to the RIAA or MPAA, or shouldn't because I have already bought the right to listen to it or watch it. So in this case, the money the RIAA complains about losing is bullshit, equal in value... no, actually worth less than the paper and postage on the facsimile of the money proposed to be sent to them
Now if you suggest that the value is lost when someone pirates a copy then you are right, but unfortunately the RIAA and MPAA want to lump both of these ideas together. For this reason alone I can get behind protests against these organizations where once I had at least a modicum of sympathy (not much but a very little) since I used to play music and had friends who didn't get paid their due. And I don't care if it is the companies or the consumers who screw the artist, they're still being screwed... and I can say I care more for the little guys than the multimillionaire big shot music stars... and I shouldn't differentiate but I do... being human I guess.
Anyway with the changes the RIAA and MPAA are trying to push, I no longer have any sympathy what-so-ever for them. For example, through lobbying these groups have managed to talk digital lock legislation into a new bill being debated (and soon to pass with a majority government) in Canada. The law says it's alright to make copies of your CD/music or DVDs except when the companies selling them put a digital lock on them. So what do you want to bet that these companies will now put locks on all media so that you aren't allowed to make copies, even for your own use. So this whole paradigm of me buying the rights to listen to music regardless of how I store it will be gone. People will have to buy a copy for their mp3 player, one for their computer, one for any other device, etc. And I have come to the conclusion I want this bill to pass. If it becomes so onerous for people to own music the government implementing the law stands a chance to fail because of it and the companies will face an outright revolt from even people who didn't care before. Then things might change to where the average person is a person again and companies are reduced to being legal entities once again i.e. where people come first and their organizations come second. Otherwise I don't see them doing so. Cynically yours...

That's scary... 'cause I do run KDE. :)
I knew I should have previewed it. But does a typo really warrant being labelled flamebait. ???

But first you need Spoc to mind meld with you to convince you the rest of the internet isn't real.

No.

Unless of course it's the Blackberry Obama uses, which has been upgraded with NSA add-ons.

Dammit... should have previewed it.... Eva! Eva Peron, not Evan. d'oh!
Yeah Evan Peron said exactly the same thing when she was talking to Madame Chiang Kai-shek. And I'm sure Asma Assad would agree with that too.

Actually the UK is like that. Have you ever seen the size of the one pound coin. Granted it's thicker, but tiny otherwise.
