any women could sue the ass of her husband if someone was stupid enough to try it, no need for new laws.
Hmmm... Where I'm at, a wife cannot sue her husband, at least not without a divorce. That's a silly idea - martial assets are shared. If a wife sues her husband she is essentially suing herself.
If you suspect your spouse is cheating, your relationship has bigger problems.
In fact I've also found that I've discovered some amazing films I never would have rented, that I've recommended to friends. Now I know it's wrong to download a movie, but if I'd never pay to watch it, but watch it for free and enjoy and recommend it, how am I hurting anyone?
I mean, who the hell would see Station Agent on the shelf and think it's an IMDB top 250 movie??? I am glad I watched it, and I feel I'm a better person for having seen that movie.
She's an idiot for posing nude in front of the camera in the first place. You gotta expect this kinda stuff if you do that.
Furthermore, Yahoo has more money than the ex-hubby, so Yahoo is of course a better target. Nothing new for lawyers to go after money instead of justice.
She's probably some broke-ass wite trash trailer garbage that found a lawyer willing to work on contingency.
One possible outcome might be the end of big budget movies
As another poster wrote, how much is file sharing hurting George Lucas's pocketbook? Or the creators of Spider-Man or X-Men?
Who are the file swappers stealing from? The black stuntman in the ads?
Give me a break. Maybe movies like Gigli would never have been made. That's about where it ends IMO. The blockbusters would continue to get made regardless.
IMO an open distribution method would encourage theatre use.
Actually, I believe movie theaters offer quite the value-add over your computer screen or even home theater.
Not to mention, as another poster pointed out, that theater can use a revival too, although I have a subscription to the local playhouse myself - I appreciate single-take acting way more than video taped stuff. That's JMO though.
Well with your parents, they probably listen to stuff that's pretty dated anyway.
Not to mention, there's a lot of ppl in the 60 somthing crowd that go dancing at ballrooms and stuff. Those ballroom artists all make money off the old music.
The problem is in the HTTPS spec, and the FTP spec.
I think HTTP 1.1 solved some problems, but you should be able to attach an ssl cert to an HTTP 1.1 site without requiring an external IP.
FTP needs to accommodate host headers too.
One of the big problems is that each domain with a cert requires a valid IPV4 address. That's not good.
As well, I love that my ISP hands me an external IP, and that I can do whatever I please. Truth is most users don't need an external IP - they can be NAT'd...
Bullshit. If distribution costs through digital entertainment are nill, then the artist can actually use the free distribution to promote live performances.
Then the artist hires promoters to get radio stations to play it and to advertise said song so it'll be downloaded and heard.
Through popularity comes larger concerts. That's where artists make their money anyway.
The nice thing is, with an open distribution system, that any artist can make it big if they are good.
It's like having an open art gallery that any artist can display their paintings in. Society will benefit.
Good to know. Home the mods catch your post... I've got adblock doing pretty good things for me now - i just didn't realize the popups came from flash.
Don't forget it's illegal to do business with Cubans unless you're in the Navy. And it makes a good place to have an army base that blatantly infringes on human rights (per Amnesty International).
Make no mistake, freedom in the US is fiction at best.
Great in theory, but with a limit on the number of writes, you might be hooped.
The registry is too important to a Windows OS. The OS is constantly writing to and reading from that damn thing.
I thought about the same thing too. A Linux OS might be more efficient though... You still have the problem of where to put the swap. On the drive with limited read/writes and isn't spinning, or on the one that's spinning and consuming power. Either way. I'd be concerned.
Just to point out that if you have a web app simply making a trip to a db, you have increased load. Caching it on the local filesystem (or RAM if you can afford it) results in increased performance because a required connection isn't even made.
Alas if I was a stupid programmer, you'd also be calling the guys who wrote Coldfusion, Smarty for PHP, and Crystal Reports stupid as well; they are some of the platforms who've given content caching features in various platforms. There's many more too.
Also, I think you have the faintest clue what caching is used for in the DB. It's all about execution plans. All stored procs have a cached execution plan. That results in increased performance because the query doesn't need to be parsed by the optimizer. What happens if you make an ad-hoc query is the execution plan is retrieved from the cache if the RDMBS server has seen the query recently, rather than parsing out the query again.
So I sit there and look at up2date on my FC box. I had 55 outstanding updates. Every time there's a kernel update, I had to reinstall the kernel modules. Particularly ndiswrapper.
Every time there's a firefox update, I had to reconfigure java support for it.
From a corporate perspective, this is unacceptable. Generally I feel that the Microsoft updates are much more professionally built than their yum/up2date counterparts. I find myself reconfiguring stuff on a regular basis.
I love FC don't get me wrong, but I feel that Microsoft patches are actually less of a pain in the ass for me. I've not had much of anything break because of a Microsoft patch, compared to what breaks with an FC patch.

But yes, I too suspect this to be a hoax.

That blows.
Oh yeah? And which government agency forced you to type that?
Uhm, I'm not from the US.
I'd also like to point out that Google filters results based on DMCA ( Even if you are not in America btw ).
So if Google has to filter out protected content per the DMCA, why wouldn't this search engine have to?

I'd duck for cover on that argument. Many will debate about users running as Administrator on Windows where they don't run as root on Mac.
Truth is, you're right. Look at FF. It's gaining momentum. For some reason now I get FF popups. And I see more exploits for FF now.
Let's face it, as popularity increases, so is the incentive to exploit, despite the fanboys who argue otherwise.
I use geometric passwords - I let my fingers walk around the keyboard in a pattern. People watching my fingers just think I'm typing really fast.
Stuff like
CVdfer34
MNjhUY76
>lkoi(*
Etc... So many permutations that make little sense. Good luck brute forcing something like that.
(And no, those aren't even close to the root password on my FreeBSD box - don't even try...

Excuse me, but doesn't flash storage have a limited number of writes?
Just out of curiosity - after running apt, do you still have Java support in your browser? It's quirky stuff like that that pisses me off...
You might not have enabled java support in your browser...
Didn't Sony also come out with something like this a couple years ago? IIRC it was dirt cheap too - like $20 or so...

Maybe it's FC, and I should switch to Gentoo...
Yes but More than half of the British forces was made up of Canadian militia. I'd say that means Canadians burned it down in 1814.
I know a lot of users who switched to Google for its simplicity.
Remember Excite, Hotbot, Lycos, Infoseek, and Altavista all used to look like Yahoo.
Then Google started to kick ass and everyone moved away from that format to a minimalistic approach.
No google is trying to become Yahoo? I'm going dizzy just thinking about it...
Harper's an overweight clone. We'd be in the same war if Harper was PM...
Glad to see the budget vote passed today. Tories scare the crap out of me.
No, what I mean is, why even bother with a hard drive or an OS when there's already ways to network boot these machines?
I just don't understand why they don't use FreeDOS, and use the RDP client - something like DOSRDP
I'm sure you can get a linux floppy out there that'll do it too - start x and load an rdesktop session... I just haven't dug enough really...
Not that I'm not happy about the historical fact that Canadians burned down the whitehouse, but I really don't think the GP was around in 1812...
