But it's just like people on TV insinuating things when they don't want to come out and admit what they're saying isn't true; they hide behind a veil of "I don't know if this is necessarily true" when they say "is it???" and that is what's wrong with news today. I'm sorry if I seemed to lash out at you, but I saw too much similarity there.
Is it legal for me to give you a mixtape or CD i made for a road trip?
No. And this isn't a personal attack on you, but people who don't know about copyright law should stop trying to be copyright lawyers. Mix tapes are copyright infringement, but rarely prosecuted because it is not worth the resources to do so.
Just as a note to anyone who doesn't read Japanese, and thus cannot appreciate how densely packed the information is, the first nine characters (including the comma!) basically say "this weekend at the zoo" (23 characters).
I'd translate more, but the right half of the text is not shown.
Well played, sir. At first I didn't recognize the reference, and I was shocked to think someone would lash out like that. But then it slowly dawned on me: "oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh".
I have programmed in both, and Python gets the job done so much faster that I want to crap my pants. Now that is REAL ultimate power. I love Python with all of my body (including my pee pee).
To be fair, Texas does have Ron Paul as well. Consistently votes for citizens' privacy, votes for legalization of marijuana, and pushes for a Constitutional Federal Budget. He's pretty much the only politician I trust.
I don't know how bad it truthfully is, but I can say that in the past two years, my brother and father have both been hit by other drivers, and both times, the driver did not have insurance but my family did.
Yeah -- there was no download link for the film -- only streaming -- so I emailed the creators asking for a copy, and they sent me the first copy they had ever made to send to anyone. As far as I know, I might have the only copy of the video outside of the creators -- they were really nice about it. They told me it was surprising to get an email requesting the video, as no one had ever asked before. They send me a CD with a high-quality laser-printed label and everything! I got it in the mail and just about crapped my pants at the high quality of the packaging they did for me.
Then I popped it in the family computer (I was 15 at the time maybe) only to find out I couldn't view the file as I didn't have a fast enough computer. I took it to a friend's house, and we watched it over and over and over again.
Ahh...star wars fan film memories...Christmas Tauntauns is awesome. I'd torrent it, but it's in the US and I'm in Japan right now.
No -- i meant sign the original over to the FSF. I would hope that the coders could all be contacted for this. Otherwise, this whole discussion on signing over the ownership to the FSF was moot before I even posted my arguments.
I've wondered, since these programs are GPLed, why doesn't someone fork their own project (which will also be GPLed of course -- no change in license here), and sign over the original to the FSF. Rename the original to SAMENAMEORIGINAL or something like that. Bingo. You have signed over the software ownership to the FSF and retained your program's name in your ownership.
Basically, the only detriment to this is that you will never be able to change the license on the software you have forked (as it is a fork of a GPL program you no longer own the rights to).
So, if you're sure that your desire will remain that the software will remain GPL, then why not sign it over to the FSF.
The FSF has what they want, you have your code under your ownership still, and the FSF can begin litigation. Everyone's happy.

Wow! How shocking that the guy who wants to have the UN control the internet is from China, a country we all know attempts to strictly control what passes via the internet into its borders.
There are so many other flash-based drives that do what you just said (Creative's MuVo is smaller -- this is the first one that comes to mind). The real advantage to the Shuffle is that it can play iTMS music. But I'll still pass on it.
Actually, that would be a 'podophile'. 'Ped-' is child ('pediatrics', etc), but 'pod-' is 'foot' -- 'podiatry' is the study/treatment of feet or something like that. That is why we have cephalopods and gastropods.

And, no, I'm not making it up!
In a few trillion years, it will have run out of fuel.

So, it can't be all that good.
Well, if we could compile on a different architecture, we could have Linux Farts! Or should I stay Damn Smelly Linux?
OK, I give up. But I still think a China-slanted OS should be called FreeMSG.
up to a huge amount (10^39 I believe) here
It's not offtopic. It's a post about Tux! Is this in the Linux section?
Only thing is, that film is commercial, so I doubt it qualifies. It's directed by the same guy who made Kung Pow.

OK, I was misinformed. I apologize for my accusations. Concurrently, agreement is reached that his brother did embarrass himself ;)
I read on CNN last night that Jeb said "there is nothing I can do" and went hands-off. So either you are blowing shit out your mouth, or CNN is.

I seriously understood none of what you just said. Are you high?
Wow, and it formats Slashdot correctly too.
That's it. Everyone ditch Firefox for the PSP!

Except Apple does not make a high-end flash player w/a display -- iPod Mini has a hard drive.
