not that i know anything about law or anything but isn't this pretty much saying that the hosts that Hyperling to.torrent files are not actually publishing anything and as such are not liable and the place that actially holds the torrents are?
not sure if it changes the war on RIAA etc in any way just thought i'd mention it as it seems to be a intresting definition of a hyperlink...
vmware in 2001....that cost a bit of money. citrix....insert more money here... plus virtualization doesnt remove licensing needs.....so your not removing anything just making the desktops stable...
i see what your saying just pointing out that you still pay MS and citrix and vmware....
Ok so here we are again looking at whats right or wrong when it comes to creativity...
Points of intrest i'd like to make mention of here so that everyone has a fair understanding....
Do some investigation on Negative land and specifically U2 Vs Negativeland and also listen to crosley bendix speaks out about copyright.
Negative land are exactly what this is about. a few years ago the record label that handled U2 sued negative land for making a CD that was called where the streets have no name becauser it had a zeplin on the front with U@ written on it...it had small amounts of samples ffrom the track but was not in essence the same thing.....negative land got sued into non existence then the edge was on a radio station and one of negativeland called him and basically told him what happened. from that conversation the U2 ZooTV tour began and negativeland basically did all the TV & hacking aspects of the tour... look it up its an intresting read.
the second point is that regardless of samples if its a "spoof" ie humourous takeoff then its also exempt from the rule due to a free speech issue with copyright....sunscreen song, not the sunscreen song....most weird al although he does ask for permission in most cases hes not required to.
The 3rd point is if this is targeting samplers as well as mixers ( you dont mix whole songs so in essence its a sample)
there are very few songs which dont include someone elses work...ie someone released a track that is completely silent....and song wioth a pause in it could be sued. Tribute (greatest song in the world) by Tenacious D is 90% stairway to heaven just in a different order musically with different words....
folk music which is the basis for most melodic music evolved it was not created from scratch... the C chord, picked in different ways then adding different bass notes and different words then change to the major 4 and major 5 or minor 3rd etc its all paterns with different parts added or chjanged...therefor all music is a copy of all other music because we all use the same notes (frequencies) its almost impossible to do anything
Perhaps the way they rate the time is based on the distance you need to travel around and not how long the user takes to work it out.
If you have 10 people in a room on the same level and all of them know what the goal is and how to attain it its very likely that they are faster than 10 people who dont know the goal.
Try it a second time and see if your closer to the timeline and feel free to use the following walkthrough so you are in a similar boat to how the people who rated the timings were paddling.
http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/tr7/walkthroug h/index.html
I'm not saying the writer was not capable of the task merely that the task was not layed out in the same way as the testers were given.
I find it strange that they think their product is never going to reduce in sales EVER!! Isn't it likely that the CD is not the optimum product in the future? Isn't it likely that the products they them selves manufacture and market would also reduce the Demand.
Pioneer, Sony how many CD Writing capable products have you sold..
I also would like to point out that I have purchased about 45 Music products this year....DVD Concerts & Collections. Sure i bought CDs too but i purchased more DVD music products than CD based this year because i have a big screen and surround sound also.
Why can't they look at the sales of Music PRODUCTS rather than CDs...its not that we less its that we buy multiple mediums also.
if you look at the gamecube sales they increased only after about 2 years when someone finally worked out how to crack them
sony became dominant in Australia because they were piratable....
pS2 & Xbox also sell more units because they can be modded....PS2 is basically a games only machine....the xbox however has been expanded upon to the point where there is a 12 xbox cluster running.....$200 per cpu is good when they were released 766 was a reasonable speed...not to mention that i have 2 running my entertainment stuff....DVD player MP3 player Games Console.Linux capable...id say thats more innovation than microsoft were expecting...
sure piratable means developers dont get payed but then again when you look at the way microsoft run their company id say it was pretty much normal for microsoft to not care too much about developers...
sony dont care about the profit loss...its about getting as many electronic components with your name into a building....they make money in 90% of the markets...they just dont want to lose a market...
also i can get you whatever Gamecube torrents the hard part is using them....
with xbox and PS2 the security is in the data...therefore if you can create the iso then you can burn it...the main problem people in general have with xbox piracy is A getting them chipped (not too hard really with pirates advertising chipping as it's not illegal in australia) and then getting the game into an ISO....original Xbox games are uncopiable by PC by all accounts....but you ftp the files from the xbox to a PC and then put them out in a specially created ISO file which has both xbox FAT and PC FAT and alls good.....
still keeps piracy down more than say PC but not as well as gamecube did...but then gamecube was nearly unsellable in australia....
So the argument is that deb is behind in releases and unbutu are making their own pakages....
Sarge is called TESTING....SID is unstable and guess what Unstable = Unstable/ Not ready
Testing however does not mean unstable
I am not sure why sarge is not classed as stable as of yet but having said that i dont care its easy to install works great and has everything i want.
Unbutu/KDE version of Debian project will build the Desktop setup and thats fine also....
the Sources for apt are different...no problem
use unbutu for a desktop if you like but debian will do both server and desktop stuff...
theres little clash in my mind...
as long as they share bug info etc its all good to me...
dont see mplayer as a problem you can go to the forum OR google Mplayer.deb and add the non official sourse and it works NP.....took me what 5 mins to load.....
either you haven't worked out how a search engine works or you forgot to look at A debian site B debian Forum C debian IRC channel
basically your trolling. Im what 6 weeks debian user and i had mplayer installed before i even loaded a KDM/GDM/XDM.....
do you end up looking like Arnie from the terminator...ouch no dont cut your eye out....
in regards to who this will help....
technically if you never learnt to see before being blind then it would be easier for your brain to learn how to interpret....as long as you could translate movement the rest is just adding names to things......
goes back to the old story about how do we know what it tastes like......i think the matrix would be an excellent example of how this may or may not work.....
neo: why do my eyes hurt?.....Morpheus: youve never used them before....
Cypher: I know its not really roast beef.....i just dont care...
The only blind person that cannot benefit from these type of things are the ones where the brain receptors are damaged......ie blind from head trauma,stroke etc.....if the part of the brain doesnt work then we need to interface it deeper in the cortex...beyond us at the moment...
Bionic eyes probably would be enhanced like cameras are but the control of bionics may or may not be controlable by the brain....depends on how well we can make technology whereas we know the brain can already adapt to translating things....color blindness, Decreasing eye quality etc are all translated NP by the brain....where as in computers we would have to do a fair amount more to work out how to trigger a device using an optic nerve signal...and how do we get the brain to fire it off....
perhaps if the person has workjing muscles there then they could work it but then how do you adjust the zoom etc without it being triggereable by mistake......
im no neurosurgeon but from what i remember about optic reception etc.....the eye takes the image and the brain uses the image to zoom in.....sortof like the relationship between photoshop and a digital camera....
if we make the eye do the zooming etc then the system is still in place with no problem but control of the zoom is still the hotspot for R&D.
oce you interface to the brain for bi directional communications you open the door to alot of bionics.....at the moment we can only really do 1 way communication. Voice commands are unlikely unless we have wires coming out of us borg style eyepieces etc...
I dont see this as much of a problem......the moon has no atmosphere therefore if we A terraform it and create an atmosphere then the problem is removed moderately quickly by wind,moisture etc....
If we dont terraform and go along the lines of moon bases and eco-domes etc. then we need to put a layer of dust over the top of it. it's not like we need the sunlight to create food we would just ship it from earth one way or another....the moons not really that far away in comparison to say mars etc so the food issue is negated.
as for equipment being damaged.....who says its going to be on the moon..with no gravity you can place equipment in matching orbit.....
the reason things got scratch and damaged on the first moon landing is because we didn't know about the harshness of the dust....now we know about it we dont have a problem just something to cater for.....
um thats my qualifications......still doesn't mean im qualified in software development, Linux, Degaussing, Hardisk recovery, Spyware, Spam, Web Design, Implementation and rollout of Ghosts etc etc etc.....
Cars all work similarly....all have real world designs and specs....
ever seen the design spec for windows?, what about Quicken, we find out what we know through RESEARCHING....this means google, Monitoring Tools Trial and error.....there is no qualification....
I also fix DVD Players, Playstations, Xboxes, Fridges Printers Photocopiers etc.....why because i know how they work... most people beleive the labels that say "no user servicable parts"
Bring back the Caddy system so we dont have DVDs that end up looking like they have been used on a rotary sander......
DVD piracy is more rampant than ever so i guess things are slowing down but with TIVO systems and hard disks being so cheap people just hire only or hire & rip
Sony has very little bearing on what format to choose. Porn industry is always the chooser.
Sony would be smarter to use it's own standard anyways as if they use non standard then piracy needs to be non standard also.....plus they generate sales for their own formats......as long as they can read dvds also the playstation can have a punchcard system for their games...backward compatibility is irrelevant in this generation jump.
Xbox360 and PS3 are required to read original DVD Movies...other than that they can use whatever...the more freaky the device the less people can pirate.
in effect your argument is the opposite of what they want to do in the realworld.....
Game cubes used a smaller version of disc...something like mini-DVD i beleive. GC was and is still by far the hardest console to pirate for because of this. Nintendo had a win in the piracy stakes for a long time unfortunately due to this their sales struggled immensly until piracy was possible then their sales went through the roof for a few months...
The hard part is making your consoles pirateable so you can generate sales but not so easily that average joe can do it himself with his normal computer....some effort has to be made so that Sony/MS & a minimal amount of smarties can copy them.
Blu-Ray Vs DVDHD or whatever they are called is basically a manufacturer discussion.....ease of manufacture....machinery changes.....support from designers and such....
whichever works to be cheaper to create and is acceptable to the movie & porn industry will win.
because it's in a PS3 is not a reason for things to be Industry standard it's just means ps3s may be less copiable which is a good thing to them.
how about taping into your local nike slave trading shoe shop and ask them to attach a small hose...say 5mm diameter run it up your leg to the turbine unit which is attached by clip to your belt that way whenever you take a step the air from you sole would spin the turbine.....if you run low on battery you just pace from side to side like i do on my phone anyways
i would expect that the patent must be more specific as all the pirate Xbox/PS2 players use Kai....which is pretty much a messenger with arena's for games etc.....perhaps the key to this is the fact that its a plugin to thier messenger product rather than it's main function
Didn't Microsoft patent the process of monopolizing and industry by use of marketing and exclusive deals?
Ea surely will be having a court case if they try to do this....i mean seriously an exclusive deal with TV stations to use Pal/NTSC/HDTV for the sole use of their interactive game and then marketing it to try and monopolize a entertainment medium (Virtual Reality TV)....
Server 1 year later......i find it intresting that they kill workstation before server on the same core a year earlier...I would have thought that server patches and workstation patches to be interchangeable anyways....
you can run a script and turn server back to workstation on windows nt/2K and even 2003. its just a matter of having extra services disabled and a heap of server only reg keys renamed...
im currently running 2003 server as my workstation in workstation mode with more success than i had with XP pre sp2....post sp2 i haven't tries xp but then why downgrade when everything works....i havent found a program to cause a problem yet in 2k3
irrelevant really MS is the source of the patches etc but i can list over 30 mirrors that host stuff that the original company folded many years ago...the same will happen for anything popular...mirroring less than 2 gig of files and less than 1000 webpages is not going to kill any mirror company therefore they will host if for as long as possible...probably beyond it usefullness
Slashdot Mirror
not that i know anything about law or anything but isn't this pretty much saying that the hosts that Hyperling to .torrent files are not actually publishing anything and as such are not liable and the place that actially holds the torrents are?
not sure if it changes the war on RIAA etc in any way just thought i'd mention it as it seems to be a intresting definition of a hyperlink...
you know your meant to pay for all that....
vmware in 2001....that cost a bit of money.
citrix....insert more money here...
plus virtualization doesnt remove licensing needs.....so your not removing anything just making the desktops stable...
i see what your saying just pointing out that you still pay MS and citrix and vmware....
Ok so here we are again looking at whats right or wrong when it comes to creativity...

and anyways since when is art a buisness
If beer causes CO2 as suggested whats the impact of dropping Mentos into Diet Coke. I blame Youtube
post a link or copy of that if you can because i dont have mindreading powers....

(6)failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted
is that what your talking about?
thats what i find on google hit #1
IANAL nor am I able to see why the rule above would be pertinent as its about anti-competition the way i read the article

...Vs Halo etc...
in recent surveys at xbox scene and PSXworld marketshare is not applicable to consoles
more than 70% of the Online Gaming community own both....
therefore whichever is first to be cracked will get the greatest marketshare early but will even up pretty quickly once both are cracked......
then you will end up with marketshare only being dictated by certain games......Final fantasy series, Gran tourismo series

ok so im not the most legally understanding person in the world but Distribution...
he isnt distributing....bit torent doesnt distribute...wording means alot and distribution is not the right word....
if this is about piracy how do they prove he has a complete copy...partials are useless arnt they?
distribution would be whoever hosts the torrent....downloading that isnt distribution its acqusition..
