I remember seeing plenty of first or second run movies at the eaton center in toronto for 2.50 matenee and 4.25 evenings, up until they closed around 1999. AND you could drink liquor and sometimes if you got lucky smoke weed in the theaters.
"The new hip-hop artist of the day for example. All they sing/rap about is how many Hoes they can or have slept with and how much money or "bling" they have."
People just use the RIAA as a scapegoat, as a way to make themselves forgot about the human beings in the band whose music they're pirating. It's easier to demonize some faceless company than realize, "Hey, I'm making sure System of a Down doesn't get paid today."
Good choice n00blet, the one band who has a CD with the title "STEAL THIS ALBUM" doesnt endorse pirating. oh yeah....
Truely creative bands want to get their music to the masses. Ask any band, whoes not a multimillionaire and they will tell you " i just want people to hear what ive created ". I know this becuase my father is one of those musicians.
The point of music is to tell a story, not to generate profit. Im sorry you've given in to the industry brainwashing here. Never before has so much art been available for free, to the masses. This is a good thing as good art drives the culture to imagine. Why do you want to kill societies dreams?
its funny because a few years ago i found a song done by i believe ginsberg that listed every possible way of being, and then summurized it in a phrase. really well done
something like
" the nancy regan skeleton says just say no, the rastaman skeleton say blow nancy blow!"
anyways, i would never have found that and thus got a small pang of enjoyment from it, without p2p. what happened to the time when all artists wanted you to hear their music? now they want you to buy it, in preference to just hearing it. what a wonderful world.

actually if you look at totalitarian societies, one of the cornerstones is restricted access to information. Should the poor be not aloud to look at certain things because they are poor?
one could easily make a convincing arguement that the political sphere of america is a form of corporate totalitarianism. So i dont think the GP was very far off the mark.

I personally believe that language will just evolve so that our childrens children, will be almost incomprehensible to us. as you can see, having africans speak english for 400 years in jamaica gave them there own particular flavour of the language.
you do know that you can _*gasp*_ lie to your registrar right?
and even if it is true can you explain (perhaps i just dont see it) why merely renting out some office space in washington DC qualifies the domain name as a political one?
"just do what I did, and get cell plan where you get refund for received calls."
um IF there was such a magical non-sensical plan (why would a phone company every offer that?), what would stop you from just calling up your cel from a pay phone or landline and getting them to give you infinite monies back?
Also, i get exactly 0 telemarketer calls on my cel phone. Iam pretty sure that they cantt call cel phone numbers anyways
again, what sense does it make for a phone company to give you money for recieved calls? its not like a power company where people can roll back their metres by generating their own power. Its airtime on a phone. who cares who initiaites the call?
I dont understand. Is 1.5 safe? or is the version comming "sometime in the distant future" the safe one?
I mean if i just downloaded the new firefox 1.5 (wtf last version was 1.06 THAT wont confuse people, skipping 44 versions). I just want to know if 1.5 is secure against this. It would be pretty ironic if the version annouced for download today did not address a security flaw also posted to slashdot on the same day:P
BIZZT sorry! maybe in a perfect world. I made trip master dick a foe months ago because i couldnt stand the endless repetition and constant unfunny modded up posts he provides.

"In the case of laser toner this would be limited by the drum to no more than 3-5 times"
are you sure thats true? where I work we go through about 10 cartridges every week for various printers. We then send them to a company which refills them. SOMETIMES we get a bad one where the drum has gone out on it, but they are really few and far between. I find it hard to believe that this company could make money if they had to throw out the carts and buy all new ones after just 3 uses.
we always get used cartridges back so they must come from somewhere. Havent baught a new cart in years here.

Well if your like me, you had to look that one up.
Sense you already looked it up ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cel-shaded_animation ) that link was redundant to you. Perhaps some are more lazy.
Basically, cel shading is like commander keen but with more gamma.
