Great... so, then, i shall bill SBC Michigan (formerly Ameritech) a $1363 fraudulent account fee, $100 credit restoration fee, and a $37.50 invoicing fee. That should cover the $1363 collection item on my credit report (I had it removed from my file, but still, i want to KNOW it's taken care of) caused by them opening an account in my name for someone else at an address i never lived at, while they would not open one for ME in my namebecause i owed them money (which I have since paid). They'll get that money back anyway, since i'll be using it to pay them. $100 for the phone calls related to dealing with the issue. $37.50 to make it an even $1500 plus the price of a stamp, envelope, paper, and ink. This invoicing fee will be billed for each invoice i have to send and will be refundable upon reciept of full account details including all detail-bills for the account (with the exception of the first one). I want a list of numbers to give my detective so he can catch these guys, and the guy that stole my SS card and license to begin with and sold/gave it to them (if it's not the same guy).
And... all of this equipment was designed, manufactured, shipped, and installed by people listening the RIAA sanctiond mucus^H^H^H^Husic... so they, themselves, are a part of the process.
I believe the hardware emulated will be entirely the same. With on exception. Network access will be through a Belkin router without the firmware update and without a "No" button.
The article explains that the disc's audio can still be copied, and there's a hilarious quote at the end by a BMG spokesman: "All copy-protections can be hacked, but if (we) give people what they are asking for in terms of value, they won't go out and steal it. It's called trusting the consumer."
Yes, i did RTFA. I also RTFB before R'ingTFA. TFB portrays TFA quite accurately, so had you RTFB and not just RTFH, you may have caught the fact that THERE IS NOT COPY PROTECTION ON THE DISCS ASIDE FROM THE ADDED FEATURES. THE CDA TRACKS CAN BE FREELY COPIED. THE DRM'D FILES ARE THERE ONLY FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO OR DON'T WANT TO RIP THE CDA TRACKS THEMSELVES! THEY ARE REFERRING TO THE VIDEOS AND OTHER EXTRAS AS COPY PROTECTON.

Remember that the only intuitive interface is the nipple. Everything else is learned.
Is that why I like using the little nipple between the G H and B keys on my laptop so much?
Seriuosly, the penis and vagina are intuitive interfaces as well. Maybe we should design an interface that closely mimics a vagina and pair of tits for guys (and lezzies) to use and one that mimics a cock and pair of pecs for women (and... uhmm... gays). How intuitive would THAT interface be?
And there is no redundancy in all of your redundant complaining over and over again and again about how someone once more modded the post redundant after the article got posted a second time? Haven't you learned anything from RAId arrays? Sometime redundancy is a good thing, you knw, it's good to make sure you keep a spare copy somewhere; then copy it again, and copy it over, and once more to be sure. Mod this redundant when, and only when, it is as positive karma modifier. Redundancy can be good.
My boss and I were thinking up amusing URLs the other day and out of nowhere he said his favorite site was http://www.dum.de/dum/de/dum
I went there. There was nothing. So I dropped the/dum/de/dum from the end. Turns out to be a danish dildo manufacturer's site. If that's his favorite site, maybe I should consider finding a new job -- although he claims he didn't know what the site was and was just joking (dum de dum de dum).

I found a pay stub belonging to a clear channel sales exec on the floor at my work a few weeks back.; still deciding whether to sent it to them so he might get it back or to post various bits of (non -personally-identifiable) information from it so that everyone knows how much these people make in a year for doing almost nothing ("Do you want to advertise with us? GREAT! Sign here!") Let's just say, I've been working for 4 years now, making good money from the start, and haven't grossed as much in those 4 years as this guy nets in 6 months. Makes me sick. Where do I apply?
No. Now it's survival of the fuckers that should have never been allowed to see the fucking light of day. They get everything they want while the rest of us have to actually do 60+ hours of hard manual labor every week just to (hopefully) pay the bills. The people I'm talking about are politicians. They collect the fruits of our labor while they pass laws restricting our ability to live our lives.
For instance, thanks to the innumerable advances in creating genetically-engineered plants, we will soon see the day where the characteristics of interest in plants such as cannabis, coca, psilocybin, and opium are capable of being integrated within such ordinary plants as
grass, seaweed, ferns, etc. So even if we are able to use technology to prevent drugs from coming into this country from the outside, the obvious solution for organized crime will be to make it so that the drugs can be more easily manufactured from within.
Amusing, since alot of people already refer to marijuana as weed and grass!
These will be fairly common once the Pentium 5 is released. I think Intel is trying out various casing shapes for the new processor and they slipped a model of Enterprise in there just for kicks.
Does this guy work for the RIAA or the MPAA? This sounds an awful lot like what they say about copy protection. And it doesn't do a god damned thing for piracy -- except validate some people's reasons for doing it.
got bored. did a cpu about 5 times in rapid succession. using it right now.
slot a athlon 550mhz. wouldn't try it with a socket processor tho. only thing is now everything is lowercase. just kidding. i'm just lazy.
but i really have hot-swapped this processor at least 5 times for no reason other than sheer boredom. out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in-out-in in about 30sec. and once or twice on another occaision. fun when you know you can replace it. i'm broke now, so i'm glad it still works, tho. lol
First, file serving is not copying. File serving (at least in this context) is a violation of the copyright holder's exclusive right to _distribute_ copies of his work.
What about my right to control access to my own hard drive?
Does the RIAA now own and control those sectors which contain data for files representint songs by thier artists? I think not!
I own those sectors, as well as the rest of the drive, and the computer, for that metter, and may do with it what I wish.
If I will to give the whole world read-only privelages part (or all) of my hard disk, that is my right -- regardless of the data it contains.
The minute a law comes into effect limiting ones right to allow or disallow access to thier hard disk (or any other computer-usable medium) via a network (or local access on a user-account basis) is the minute people quit using computers to store data.
