This actually happened where I live. Someone found out about it, and a few hours later (oddly around when the bars close) everyone had called their friends. There was a long line of people wearing hoodies or hats in line to get some money when the cops arrived. Everyone had their accounts "readjusted." I read some were prosectued.
when i was at wal-mart (don't ask) the other week in the electronics department, i actually heard an old person say that a regular tv looked better that the hdtv. the reason? it was larger and cost less. the average person is alot stupider than many of us would like to think.
We actually don't have substantial evidence (fossil or otherwise) that mutation ever caused inter-species changes, just the assumption that it could occur, given that intra-species changes occur.
What? Are you kidding? Don't have evidence? How about a long string of fossils showing gradual changes along -many- different lines of species? I guess your definition of substantial and mine differ.
Here is my question: Why must evolution and what the Bible says be mutually exclusive. I have read the Bible and I have read biology text. I don't see significant disagreement. Here is my version:
God: "I created matter and in a giganic explosion atoms arranged themselves into larger and larger clumps because of gravity..."
Adam: "Wait, wait. What was matter again? Gravity?"
God: "Well, gravity is this force that makes all matter in the universe attract all other matter in the universe by means of..."
Adam: *eyes glazed over* "Uh, what?"
God: "Oh, nevermind. I separated the sky and the ground."
Adam: "Oh, cool. Well, how did me and all the animals end up here?"
God: "So, then I created DNA, and set up a system by which the creatures would assemble themselves and naturally fit into their environment."
Adam: "Say what?"
God: "Nevermind. I said it and it was so."
Adam: "Oh. Okay."
i think you are wrong. it is the selling point for ipods, at least for me. i wont buy an mp3 player (or anything that can play mp3's for that matter) that won't hold a large selection of music. what is the point? so to sum up, people don't think hard drives are important, they think the functionality of having all their music with them is important.
You are wrong. iPod DRM does not allow you to take your music off of your iPod and put them on another computer (unless you store them as data, and then you can't listen to it).
So called "soccer moms" are on their way out demographically. The face of America has changed dramatically since the 60's. Families are not the biggest voting bloc now.
The problem? The biggest voting bloc is old people. And what do they want? The want protection from those crazy people 60 Minutes is telling them about. They want more money for their (medical) drugs. They want those kids to stop playing those darn auto-mo-video games. And don't even think about mentioning the big Social Security.
I think you are confusing copyrights and patents. These are two different things. Patent terms have not changed much. Copyright terms have. You cannot say that mickey mouse is helping cure people. Therefore, you arguement is meaningless.
...who completely didnt understand the concept of DNA. screw trial by media. i dont care what the news people think. but lots of evidence (including f*ing DNA! all over the place) proves -to me- that he is guilty. and a civil jury agreed to that.
My question is: who really wants the government controlling their internet access? How likely are they to not fight when information is requested? Especially from other government agencies or from business interest like a *AA?

i'm in. (been using that strategy since i started voting)
that is the most insightful thing i have read in a long time. when was any windows release "ready"?

Here is the link until the mods correct it.

the fact that an ipod holds 40 gigs while pda's don't even come close...
WRONG. The money goes to copyright holders. Most artist do not own their own copyrights. Their record companies do.
From a point of reference equidistant to them all, such as the center of earth.
The difference between my mp3 player and an iPod is i can take music off it. DRM is DRM.
You are wrong. iPod DRM does not allow you to take your music off of your iPod and put them on another computer (unless you store them as data, and then you can't listen to it).
and so it begins... this is the first step toward our culture being locked down.

copyrights != patents
OJ was found not guilty by a jury of his peers.
