Er really? In that case you wouldn't mind Indiana Jones doing all kinds of things to ruin your childhood memory of who he is? You prefer that Han didn't shoot first? You prefer to see lots of CIA agents with walkie talkies?
You know, if the chinese felt they were getting shafted they wouldn't sue you. After all what's the use? Instead, they would cheat, steal and swindle their way to better circumstances, much in the way that people steal music because they feel they're getting shafted by the music industry. And the same way they can't do anything about you, you can't do anything about them.
Just to be pedantic, some people believe that the startup of the LHC will be a universe-ending event. Or in any case, something that will make a huge dent in the european part of the globe.
Manually changing 200,000 entries isn't as hard as it sounds if you're willing to throw data entry clerks at it. 20 of them should be done in a week (less than 2000 per person per day), and they can probably make the back pay calculations and readjustments in 2 weeks.
Between choosing a temporary pay cut and having no pay whatsoever, I'm sure I'd want to have some money in my pocket. How on earth could you see this as a political stunt? I would have thought this was actually your Governator, concerned about your welfare, trying to relieve your pay woes as they sort out the budget.
They serve a purpose with regard to distribution and publicity. Which is a business that they are clearly not interested in, if you can read the fine print of a contract. Instead of selling their services to the band, they buy up the band altogether, making themselves inextricably tied to all works produced under that band name. Meaning that long after your buddy Joe's local garage band becomes the next Radiohead, they're still indebted to the Recording Industry, and needlessly so.
That rap is amazing. 5 mins of your time and so many questions explained. And it's entertaining as well. I must say I am impressed mostly by the sheer political willpower it took to make this device. The expense and risk born and everything. Imagine that while this device was being built, a new model for physics came up that would render the entire LHC irrelevant. A lot of heads would roll for that, I can imagine. And of course the small chance that we could be engineering the end of the universe right here on earth...
If it was harder to obtain an address on these services, it would be much harder for spammers to abuse them.
That's right, if we found a more complex form of DRM, surely the pirates won't be able to crack it!
The truth is, every time you raise the bar of entry, someone who is determined to cross that bar will be able to do so. A more complex captcha? A more secure forum? All we are doing is raising the ante in a game of one-upmanship.
Half of us here are for sender authentication, or at least verification. And half of us are for privacy and anonymity. These, to me, are conflicting goals. The sad thing is that there is overlap, that people want their privacy, not realizing that spam is exactly what that privacy brings. It surprises me that people can laugh at the implementations of DRM (But Bob and Eve are the same person! Hilarity ensues...) and not know that this is a very similar issue right here, (Bob wants his rights protected, but he doesn't want any riff raff Eve out there to contact him. But Bob and Eve are the same person! Not so funny now?) and it, like DRM, could very well be unsolvable.

The game where you set the rules!
Everyone in a combat role in the Air Force is a commissioned officer, no? Or at least, all the pilots.
It wouldn't have worked in 2008, the countries were introduced in order of the number of strokes in their chinese translated characters.
There is a working implementation of MOOXML? This is news to me
And that's better than no movie at all.

I don't know about you, but I'm going to give Clone Wars a miss.
Or they could do nothing and keep bitching online. It's free publicity.
The Indiana Jones francise had many years to come up with new material. When they didn't, someone else came up with "The DaVinci Code"
Are you allowed to charge delivery fees and not pay the ones actually doing delivery? Something seems inherently wrong with that.

Ok let's get this clear. Being a Scientologist doesn't make you gay, it makes you retarded.

I don't remember that guy dying. But then maybe he was just pining for the fjords.
"Microsoft cannot compromise the ISO certification process no matter how much they want to." - Words to remember as well.
This sounds criminally wrong, and something worthwhile pursuing in a class action case.
What it really means is that bitching in public works. What else is new?

The scenario in question is a stolen laptop. Adequate physical security? Are you kidding me?
What's there to stop someone else from building it and posting an installer on thepiratebay?
