be taken as giving the caller permission to record the conversation? Would such a pigheadedly concrete interpretation of that sentence hold up in court?
That's how replays work in Warcraft 3 - it saves the random number seed and all the mouse clicks of all the players, then literally 'plays the game' using that data instead of live input. Changes to game mechanics rendered old replays unviewable when the game was patched, and a side effect is no rewinding and only limited fast-forward capability.
HIS grant review system? I suppose you'd like to rip.doc support out of OpenOffice, too, to make a political point at the expense of Things Users Need Now.
In the case of a video camera it would be unacceptable to make the user wait an hour after filming before he could change or view the DVD.
I dunno - people seemed to dig super-8 at the time. Heck, it's still fun. And you can actually edit it on cheap equipment at home - something it took home video 20 years to offer, and even then not at nearly the same price point.
But video editing is not much of what what pixar does.
3D animation != video editing.
And since Maya Complete isn't even available for OSX, I find it al little hard to swallow, too. Maybe their 2D paint/NLE/compositing departments are using macs, but it's difficult to swallow the idea of a mac-based 3D pipeline.
I don't see a problem with automatic weapons in the hands of civilians in certain situations. In israel for example its not uncommon to go to the local armory and check out an Uzi if you're going to a dangerous area of town.
Not exactly civilians in the stateside sense of the word. The whole country has been through the army, is a member of the reserves, and has trained on those weapons.
Cars aren't normally associated with computers that much so...
But retail businesses that manage incredibly broad inventories at hundreds of stores are. Seems to me like this is a move against IBM's Linux-should-run-your-supply-chain marketing, as well as jealous rage for dumping SCO.
Fair enough - I stand corrected. I was basing my comments on the Israeli parliamentary system, having lived there for a couple of years. I had assumed the structure was derived from the British one (sorry about the 'English' business...) since the British had controlled Palestine during the mandate.
It's a nice system in some ways, but giving fringe parties so much power also has negative consequences that are readily apparent in many of the actions of the Sharon administration.

What about sattelite net access? Is it simply illegal to own a dish in China? But aren't dishes small and inconspicuous these days?
A Cry in the Dark , starring Merryl Streep.
That should read:
The poor guy did the deal thinking he was just buying something akin to fire insurance from the mafia, and boy did he get burned.

Isn't that 50% downtime?
RTFM. You need to open up a port or two. No need to get hysterical.
I hope they had the foresight to make it compatible with RFC 3514.
...because all those nicely groomed airstrips on mars make a great place to land and launch a plane...

1) Fun
2) Well-paying
3) Legal
Horseshit. You, sir or madam, are a sad, sad case if you believe that. That or your concept of 'well-paying' is completely outrageous.
Quick, someone tell Godel.
Oh, and as to your second point: Ms. Pac-Man.
Sorry - you are correct. Got turned around by their horrible marketing-speak.

It's federal prison Darl needs to be worried about.
MS's failure to understand this led to its illegal behavior and subsequent anti-trust conviction
By way of comparison: GM does not fund baseless 3rd-party lawsuits against owners of Toyotas in an attempt to slow Toyota's sales.
GM does not require strange and secret fuel mixtures in their vehicles in an attempt to extract license fees from gas stations.
GM does not send free cars to countries that are considering fleets of Toyota vehicles for government services.
GM does not make it intentionally difficult to park one of their cars in the same garage as a Toyota.
You know you're in trouble when your "case study" customers make public statements that they wouldn't touch your product with a ten foot pole...
I remember explaining to my mom in 1993 or so that "you can't get a virus through email - it's not executable." Sigh.
And the minor disadvantage that their "common carrier" defense against prosecution/lawsuits for criminal activity by users goes out the window.
