I tried with one of those that uses the frozen insert and found it full of FAIL. The motor for the thing sits right below the insert and so as the motor begins working and heating up, the heat has to dissipate somewhere and we know what direction heat travels normally. So it'd heat up the insert and ruin any chances of making ice cream even in the winter time when I was making the egg nog ice cream recipe he described. I bought a 4 quart model with the old wooden bucket for the ice and the motor on top instead, and it worked like a charm even in the summer. I have to modify the bucket a bit though cause for some reason they want you to soak it in water for 3 hours so the wood will swell and make a water tight seal, instead of the obvious idea of using a good sealant/liner so the bucket doesn't need any of that.
It is also considered inedible for the most part unless, assuming you're a man, you like having high estrogen levels among other things. The Chinese didn't consider it worthy of eating until they learned to ferment it, and those guys back then would eat fucking ANYTHING so that says a lot!!
No worries for me or anyone else who sees the big GLARING hole in this plan. I don't fly commercial airlines nor do I ever plan to ever again, so when I want out of the country, I'll simply buy a boat and leave. No ID necessary. I won't go into exactly how easy it is to obtain citizenship in Caribbean countries but I spend more per month on fuel for my car than it costs to obtain it elsewhere.
In our local "liquor warehouse" type store German/UK/Belgian beers take up over 2/3 of the shelf space and those are just the beers from those countries that they could get any info on, the smaller breweries can't necessarily afford to market to distributors here in the US. And we have at least 3 micro-breweries in my city alone, but that doesn't make them good...and they're not.
More beer != good/better beer. I've tried many of the micro-breweries and most suck. Someone below mentioned Sierra Nevada beer which I could drink, if they were out of horse piss. Seriously, just because there are many, it doesn't mean that any of them are actually good. Besides, many micro-breweries haven't gotten their recipes stabilized yet so they don't have quite a consistent product as they need.
I often think I don't get carded because I'm usually buying 4 beers where a single beer that costs more than a 12-pack of "normal" beer. No way I could be under 21 and spending close to $20 on 4 beers.
No one said anything about "adequate". Regardless, it's there despite what you've said thusfar so why don't you try discussing it with the Creative Commons attorneys instead.
"By exercising any rights to the work provided here, you accept and agree to be bound by the terms of this license. To the extent this license may be considered to be a contract, the licensor grants you the rights contained here in consideration of your acceptance of such terms and conditions."
IANAL, but revocation probably happens because it could be considered "unconscionable" to not be able to revoke a license in certain cases, and if a clause is considered unconscionable and that clause isn't severable from the rest of the contract, then the whole contract could potentially fall apart.
Explain to me why most people who get HIV, also get AIDS or die of other causes before it could develop; statistically more so than any exceptions you might find. As for any who truly NEVER get AIDS: Anomalies exist for everything, YAY evolution!!
Explain why there are millions of people HIV positive with AIDS right now, millions have died but there have likely been under 100 cases of ICL reported, and let me qualify this with....EVER. And 40,000,000 living with AIDS to 100 with ICL is a ratio they call statistically insignificant.
Explain to me people with ICL have a significantly better prognosis than someone with HIV.
Ever consider that a syndrome isn't a tangible thing that they can bottle and some might share a few symptoms with other diseases? Speaking of, what was the last pure virus you extracted and then bottled recently?
Does pidgeon-holing people help you deal with claims that you might find otherwise intellectually taxing?
No, the vegetarian thing had nothing to do with your thinly veiled attempt to make an ad-hominem attack.
"I am constantly disheartened when AIDS dissent gets lumped in with 9-11 conspiracy theories."
Why!?!? They both contain the same amount of bullshit. I've got plenty of friends who would be glad to help you prove that HIV doesn't cause AIDS; you can share some needles with them or the like and later write to us and explain to us how the government slipped AIDS into your milk or the like.
If you'd heard all the asinine "causes" of AIDS I heard in the 1980's, you'd see why we're fine with using Occam's Razor in your case as well.
Just out of curiosity, are you a vegan/vegetarian?(no flame intended...I'm truly curious though I won't tell you why without an answer)
Well we can end the discussion here since you didn't happen to mention this was for Windows. We're in a Linux/Apple discussion if you didn't happen to notice.
What's stunning me is that we're seriously discussing whether we want Sony or Microsoft to "win". It's like the choice between a giant douche, or a turd sandwich. Have we so quickly forgotten Microsoft is responsible for the horrendous DRM in Vista, and Sony was responsible for the rootkit fiasco?
Vote Cthulu when you're tired of choosing from the lesser of two evils.
"Call it the difference between a having a photographer taking pictures of your wedding(with your permission) vs hiring a PI to take pictures of your wife cheating(without her permission or knowledge)."
Both of those are perfectly legit regardless as long as you're not breaking privacy laws which aren't a concern if the cheating couple is caught kissing in public, going into a motel, etc.
Doesn't matter. Not every state requires a license so one could already be a "licensed" PI in their area, and the feds don't have jurisdiction to require it.
"In my efforts to find a free DVD ripping/re-encoding software I downloaded many "free" tools. Not only did none of them work (I always ended up with audio/video sync issues), but most of them required the installation of numerous other pieces of software (codecs and the like), written by other folks.
In the end, you end up with a bunch of discombobulated software on your computer, the problem you were trying to solve still is unsolved, you don't know which piece of software isn't working right, and you couldn't get real tech support even if you did!"
If you're looking for free, it takes a lot of work to be certain but you're not giving it a fair shot, obviously, because there are easy solutions to your issues and you apparently weren't willing to work through all the issues/configuration without having someone give you support. In that case you are probably best off paying for software because, no offense intended here, you're likely a bit too lazy to put in the time required to find what does work and is free(FYI, user reviews work best for me). I look at it as a simple equation time=money. If the money I'd make in the time spent < cost of premium software(if available at all), then it's a no-brainer, I choose free, and even though I charge around $150/hr, most of my software is free.
"The way I look at it, a few years ago, you couldn't install Adobe Photoshop on a Unix based platform, because the code did not exist."
Except, IT DID EXIST. Seriously, Photoshop for SGI IRIX was available long ago and Adobe decided for whatever short-sighted reason to discontinue it. I think this was back in the days of PS 3.0 or so but I can't recall since I trashed my copy for a free copy of Eclipse(not the development package) and TheGimp, which I had to compile many of my own plugins for. So at one time, they knew very well how to tie into a Unix-like environment but decided against. I've since cranked up the heat on Adobe to get back into *nix development since I've converted the majority of our machines to Linux and we will happily dump Dreamweaver for the many free solutions available for it if they don't act soon enough. And we've tried Crossover Office but it wouldn't install for the newer versions of DW.
That's awesome!! I've been a Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker fan since the late 80's(early 90's for Cracker). I've seen them 3 times on their latest tours through the area. I'm reading that article right now. David(and the rest of CVB) allow taping of their shows which puts them up there with some of the best bands, IMNSHO.
"By moving analog channels to digital as i mentioned..."
But you just said that digital takes up less bandwidth, at a ratio of 6(or 10) to 1. So they require more bandwidth because of what again?
Regardless, you've proven my point, cable is max'ing out on bandwidth to the point they have to increase their capacity or else they have to double-up on the number of cables to each house(and all the pain that comes with it), where satellite only has to add a new bird and the customer only needs an LNB.
That's funny, my experience and every other thing I've read in the industry states the exact opposite of your assertion above. Cox cable was hoping to increase their bandwidth enough a while back to add 50 new channels by the end of 2007, so why is it that they needed extra capacity if your assertion were true?
"Regular" TVs use overscan because they have to fit other parts of the signal(sync, etc.) near the beginning/end of the frame/field. HDTV, not so sure about since it's digital.

"I hate to point this out, but the lawsuits themselves have generally had the names of the labels on them, not the RIAA."
Isn't it the RIAA who actually represents the labels in court? That's the impression I've gotten.

Ahem, from the Creative Commons license:
