Exactly. Artists never get any money from royalties after the first few years because the labels take most of it through creative bookkeeping. The artists only get money when there's a lot coming in.
Add to that the fact that most new artists lose all there copyrights to the labels by contract and you'll find the only ones not getting screwed by the extension is the labels. Infact for the most part many artists will lose more money since the labels "own" most of their songs they will have to pay royalties to the labels every time the perform them!!!
I haven't restarted mine in many months. Maybe its more related to the modem its attached to. I've found that cable modems in general get stupid after a while, But my DSL modem has only been reset for power outages and That one lighting strike
if I tell a guy your a pinko faggot knowing full well he's crazy and dangerous and hates pinko faggots And that guy kills you I can be charged with homicide.
remember its not always just the guy that pulled the trigger thats guilty in a homicide sometimes its also the guy that loaded the gun and put it in his hands.
you really don't get the concept of damages do you. It will cost myspace millions to repair the damage this woman did. Building a brand and establishing goodwill cost $$$$.
actually it is a crime..... If you give false information to obtain a service its fraud... If you give false information to slashdot to gain access to its service its fraud....end of story.
remember this.... if you drive 38 in a 35 zone its a crime ($50 fine and 1 point)...if you drive 38 in a 35 zone and kill someone its called homicide.
i guess the dumbass that wrote this article never priced memory from compaq or HP... these companies sell computers not parts. they price the addons so people wont buy from them because they learned long ago it cost too much in overhead and administration to have 10,000 configurations. If you want parts go to newegg.
Mail order companies charge $30 or more to install a free memory upgrade that takes 2 minutes to install.
GM and Toyota charge way more for the same parts then at bobs auto.
Suffering from NBTS ... Next Big Thing Syndrome

What Happened To Palm?
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
like many tech companies Palm has succumb to NBTS... Next Big Thing Syndrome. Instead of maintaining its succesful product Palm put all its effort into the NBT trying to be the smartphone leaders while abandoning its lead in PDAs. Palm hasn't made a new PDA in years and its software is languishing. Now imagine if palm had an ounce of smarts and had continued to work on the life drive. Giving it a 30+ hard drive or an 16Gb flash mmmmmm would look a lot like an ipod touch wouldn't it.
although i usually use DVD-R for everyday use. Always remember to use DVD+R for archiving. +R format has some error correction built in that will allow you to read it even if some degradation has occurred. Its not a guaranty but its a extra level of protection.
Don't blame blue for the lions. Blame the blue oval...believe or not the lions actually won games before the Ford family took over..even won some national championships.
Conservation of energy its not just a good idea its the law.
Oh and thanks for pointing out the best proof of my point Motorcycles!!
I'm just so sick of silly bikers talking about saving gas. If weight is such a factor why does a 500lb bike only get 40 MPG while a 6000lb Hummer can get 15. It weighs less then 1/10th of the weight of the Hummer it should get 10 times the mileage. The reason... bikes have horrible aerodynamics. There are a lot of 2000lb european cars that get much better mileage then the average 500lb bike. Hell my 3000lb minivan can get 25MPG with two people and a bike in the back.
Weight has very little to do with the efficiency of a modern car. Most energy is lost to wind drag. then you have rolling friction which is not nearly as effected by weight any more due to much better bearings and firmer tires (just compare pushing an 1980 car to a new car). The primary area weight will effect is kinetic energy. of course this is what makes hybrids work so well they can store kinetic energy during stopping and release it on take off. By this idiots theory having two passengers (or one big guy) would reduce the milage of a car the same amount (adding 10% to weight - 300 lb to a 3000 lb car)... Doesn't happen on my car.
problem is, this guy has no knowledge of real world driving, formula one cars spend all there energy accelerating and decelerating like crazy and have ridiculously low drag coefficients. Because of this weight effects them tremendously. Many times more than any average car.
Anwser just one question. Why don't we hear about this stuff from companies offering DSL? It seems its ONLY THE CABLE companies that see any need to limit or throttle traffic.
I think my eight core xeon machine can handle 3d rendering quite well thank you. as for RAM I have an IQ over 3 thus I buy all my RAM from NewEgg...I have 8 gigs coming in today.
Exactly Quality costs more but yields better Value. If you select a Mac and a PC of the same quality with the same features there prices will be about the same.
add to this that the vast majority of >$1000 PCs sold at retail are laptops where Apple has been leading the curve for a while...and this makes all the sense in the world.
Funny everythings the same but Apple's have rated higher in quality for years......must just be that PC owners are dumb and break there computers more often...or maybe Mac's do have better quality take your pick.
Show me a Macbook with a 7950GTX let alone a 8800M video Card, or god forbid, an SLI video notebook. And this is really sad... (Our graphic designers run from Mac Hardware for these reasons alone) your graphics designers are tards...video cards have almost no effect on 2d graphic programs. oh and MacBooks with 3D cards are called MacBook Pros...and no sorry they don't have battery sucking video cards designed for gaming...Apple builds computers for grown-ups
(And this doesn't even touch the horrid Apple LCDs in notebooks, especially the newly beloved OLED notbooks that tests show lose 20% of their color fidelity within six months of usage (1000 hours).) Apple doesn't make a OLED notebook?
For overpriced computers, Apple has more suckers... As for 'high-end' computing Apple doesn't even make a high end computer. Hmmm my 8 core 16 GB- low end computer - is quite insulted
FACT Apples have always been about the same OR BETTER priced compared to equal PC's
FACT Apple has always been at the top of the list for quality and customer service
FACT one of the reasons Apple is doing so well right now is Redmond fanboys are buying Macs to run Vista on...even the PC mags agree that MacBooks are the best windows machines out there.
FACT sub $1000 PCs are crap..thats why most people that go to Dell's site to buy one of those $500 PCs leave spending around $1500.
wonder if the CIA's looking into this. Would seem plausible that with proper research it could be used to disrupt your ability to lie or resist questioning. Electromagnetic truth serum if you will
Small unusual and unexpected terms buried in a TOS may/may not be enforceable...That is up to a judge. Misrepresenting your identity to get service from a company is however unquestionably Fraud. You cant ever honestly say that when you sign up for a service and they ask your named that you didn't realize they wanted you would give them your real name.
From wikipedia "In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them"
I don't think there can be any question that this case meets that definition. and in this case we are talking about damages in the millions of dollar range easily.
She misrepresented herself to gain entry to a computer network......Check on the hacking charges
She planned to do so with others........ Check on the conpiracy
She willfully committed a crime that resulted in death.......Check on the homicide.
remember folks if you steal a candy bar and the store clerk gets hit by a truck running after you its still homicide.
The real crime here is the lazy ass local prosecutors that haven't charged this bitch yet. Of course if she loses this case all the elements will be establish for the prosecution and a homicide conviction would be easy.
Fraud is fraud dude. I you purposely misrepresent yourself to violate the TOS in a way that damages the operator of the game... (When players cheat that damages the value of game be marketed to others...)You have committed a crime.

by the way what is hacking other than computer fraud?

The charge is using a fake name to sign up for myspace for the purpose of committing another crime. (in this case i'd call it homicide).
its very common for misdemeanors to become felonies when they are used as steps in committing further crimes.
remember this.... if you drive 38 in a 35 zone its a crime ($50 fine and 1 point)...if you drive 38 in a 35 zone and kill someone its called homicide.

We have probably all also broken the speed limit.
If we break the speed limit and cause an accident where someone dies its vehicular homicide.
