I'd say an even better examle would be "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow." It was written and worked on by primarily one guy over several years, until he had two minutes of footage to use to convince studio execs to invest in it. Even though it has good cg, it also has a good storyline(although character development could have been better). Farscape is also good, although sometimes too weird for my tastes.;-)
Is speaking into a little microphone connected to a phone line which sends a signal to a boardroom in another state, saying that you agree to the ToS binding? What if the software sent back an audio clip of you saying you agree to the ToS? Is that binding? Now, it comes down to whether or not clicking on that little check box saying you agree to the ToS is the same thing as saying you agree to the terms. I believe it is. It might be an implied contract, or it might not be, but it certainly is binding in most cases. You express your *intent* of attempting to meet the ToS. Whether or not you really mean it is irrelevant. The company that wrote that software did so believing that when you checked that box you had the intent to comply with the ToS. Now, if the ToS itself was invalid, you'd have a case, but not with this.
It doesn't really matter. If you were talking over the phone with someone, saying you agree to their terms, while writing on a piece of paper,"No I don't!", does not mean you don't agree with it. No matter how vigorously you wave that slip in front of other people. If one side honestly believes that the person has the intent to follow that agreement, and the other side willfully manipulates them into believing that(by clicking or whatever) while having no intention of actually following through, is it invalid? NO! Otherwise contracts would be moot. "Yes, we had an agreement in which you'd pay me for the services I performed, and you still haven't paid. I need that money."-"Well, I didn't really agree to it, I was telling my secretary at the same time that I'm not joining in the agreement. Therefore it's moot."
And yes, clicking something asking you if you read and agree with their terms is binding.
Actually, there are a bunch of other ways to effectively sign an agreement. I don't really remember, but I do remember some controversies a year ago about whether or not click through agreements are legal.
Well, with phased array radars http://www.google.com/search?query=phased+array+ra dar
you can block out jamming from locales different from the one you are trying to listen to. I don't know if they have any satellites with phased array antennas, but if they do, jamming them would probably not work too well unless it was powerful enough to destroy it.
Is this a problem with America or with religious rednecks? Is it America's fault that some arrogant jerks decided to abuse what America so gratiously gave them, their freedom? Those people are sad, not America. America has it's problems, but this is not one of them. This is what makes America great, but unfortunately could tear it down.
OK. Yeah, sorry about seeming a little upset, too. Eh, you're right. I've never had trouble with it, and I've never known anyone who has. Actually, it's run fine on some very odd hardware for me. Well, cya
Why was it a complete waste of time? It's a little more useful if you actually give specifics instead of spreading FUD about it. You wanna know why it didn't support your laptop? It's because it *is* a laptop. They are hard to support because they use proprietary hardware without any published documentation. It's hard to make drivers for it then. Of course they have them, but there are so many, that it would take up too much room to have anything of value actually on the CD.
Because you're average coal plant is pumping out 88 pounds of uranium a day. They burn so much coal, that the trace amounts of uranium in the coal become big problems.
That's like asking, "Why have a monitor when our speakers are so wonderful?" Because the OS is a necessary part of the computer. None of those things run without one. But! Maybe Google will be coming out with an OS. They have a now commonplace name, and they have the skills. Maybe they'll produce a Linux distro.
Actually, it seems that it just provides the information on how to access the card, not even the internal workings. It's more like knowing the x86 instruction set, instead of knowing how the pipeline actually functions.
It's serving a small market(right now), requires thousands of man hours of design and testing, requires expensive fabrication equipment(too expensive for this company probably), and is unnecessary because current video cards work fine under Linux. At least well enough that spending $500 to buy a mediocre card by a small company is out of the question. And yes, it would most likely cost that much. With little demand, high development costs and high fabrication costs, it will be that expensive.
You finally got it! I'm so happy for you! It's *different* from the Western value system. Hooray! Maybe you'll soon realize that it's all relative and we can get on with our lives. Stop being a bigot, moron.
Thanks for the stats. Mainly I was saying that we need to stay on top strategy wise. We need to hone our skills. We've got well trained men, well maintained equipment, and a lot of supplies to back it up, but, we haven't seen any *major* war in 50 years. We don't have any commanders who've had to deal with an enemy that is nearly as advanced as we are, only with well, n00bs country wise (I always said I'd rue the day I said n00bs, but it's almost fitting).
Oh wow, you can copy and paste. You probably didn't even write that originally, you probably just got it from some anti-chinese bigoted website. Bigot.
OMG, you stupid troll. I AM A WESTERNER. I DON'T AGREE WITH THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT. I just don't agree with the idiotic parent that the CHINESE PEOPLE are somehow less human since they don't have the same values. YOU ARE A MORON. You are the racist that somehow managed to make a giant strawman on which you were able to pin a bunch of junk upon since you are unable to actually argue the points logically, only emotionally.

Talk about dignified, they're calling the smooth areas, "Si-Si the Cat."

Yes, and it's also nin your glow in the dark watch. Do you really want to proliferate watches!

Yeah, I know, I know. :-) It's just funny when the google link was supposed to tell them how it works without putting it through a CAT scan. :-)
The funny thing is that the touch switches in the first link in your google search aren't at all similar to the way the Apple Cube switch works.
Yes, let's not help people, let's just compete and let the weak die. How compassionate.

That's not really for you to decide. Let Adobe decide what they'd rather have happen.

All I can say is thank you. :-) Very well said and informative. I just don't have any modpoints!
You troll. Slimeball. Ineffective moron.
Gitmo..... :-) And the Japanese internment camps.
