well, it does have to do with the discussion as both China and Cuba are communist. yet the US is running towards one of them, yet won't touch the other with a 20 foot pole.
that reminds me of something in my history class. my history teacher was down in cuba for awhile a few years back. the general opinion of things there is basicaly
"we've got all this great free stuff, healthcare, education, etc. we only had to give up three things to get it. breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
they still just don't like cuba. they don't need a reason. though i think that trade will open right up right after castro dies (he's not immortal. atleast i hope not)
Opt-in to get the benefits, do nothing and nothing will change
yes, but the trouble i find is that things that are opt-in, tend to become mandatory if enough people support it.
and my other point, the law is reeeeaaalllly vauge on what constitutes "material harmul to children". would a picture of the David statue fall under that? what about some other similar artwork you could observe in the local musium/art gallery?
i've been using cheap replacement carterages in my cheap canon i320 for nearly 2 years now. no problems whatsoever. costs me $25 (CDN) for both of the cheapies, and the "real" ones are $40. $15 savings per set, and i run through a set about every other month and the printer only cost $95, so i've already saved nearly enough to buy 2 new printers ($15 savings every 2 months X 24 months = $185) i haven't had any problems, except needing to take out the print head and wipe it off whenever i replace the carterages, but then again, i did this when i used the offical carterages. print quality for me is just as good as the real carts, and none of the relitives that i copy pics can tell the differance between a real photo and the copy without looking on the back, so that's plenty good enough for me.
there are 4 parties with seats. the liberals, conservitives, New Democrat Party, and the Bloc Quebecous. the Green party is gaining support as a popular protest votes. and there are a lot of protesters. they are actually on the polls, with a few percent support. they might acctually get a seat or two nextr election
Can someone tell me when and how these became related?
it happened when some brillient US politition decided that they needed to be grouped together in order to denounce the USSR as "evil" and get votes to stay in office.
the actual idea of comunisim (as far as i understand it) is all people are equal. no one has any more or any less than anyone else. it's a pretty good idea in theory, but there is a gaping chasm between theory and practise.
it ain't just printer makers. car makers hate aftermarket parts makers too. hell, just about any manufacturer hates aftermarket parts makers. it cuts into their bussiness.
i love my i320. cheap printer ($79.99 with the $20 instant rebate) but it does a nice job of text (my normal use for it) and doesn't a pretty good job on photos (no one i'm shows one to can tell the differance between the copy and the original photo without looking at the back)
ink is $34 for both cartrages. much better than the lexmark piece that came with my old computer. fourty-five fracking dollars per cartrage. $90 for colour and black. robbery!
i personally like the way my math teacher does with homework. he gives the assignment and you do however much of it you want to. i usually do about a 1/4 of the assignment. he never marks the stuff and i just do one of each kind of question (exponents using frations, using decimals, using variables, etc.) to make sure i get all of it. i don't need to be going 150 questions for someone to figure out that i know what the heck i'm doing. it's just that some of the questions have a lot of steps to them. more time is spent writing that actually doing the math for it. many days, i don't even do the homework, as i did the exact same type of questions yesterday. i'm usually one of the best in the class.
giving more homework when it is clear that someone gets the work is pointless, and giving more work when it is clear that the person doesn't have a clue is even more so.
i have this problem myself. i'm still stuck on dial up, dispite the fact that i was supposed to get DSL 2 years ago (project canceled due to "budjet overruns")
just adding to what i said, they wouldn't need to actually cause that much damage. the real thing would be the fear instilled e.g. "OMG, THE TERORISTS HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!!" etc.
i wouldn't think that terrorists who want to blow something up would have to worry about all that. the basic princible of lobbing 2 chunks of enriched uranium at each other at a suffiently high speed (basic uranium gun design used on little boy (hiroshima bomb)) will work fine for them. they don't need it to make 10 terratonnes of boom. a few hundred tonnes of boom will do nicely. they don't have to worry about radation or using up all the fuel it can just be a dirty bomb.
After HL2 and Doom3 at $59.99 struggled to work on most people's video cards and top-of-the-line PCs. I would think consumers have had it.
you must be refering to what was top of the line about 3-5 years ago, as a lot of people seem to not grasp the fact that technolagy time goes a lot faster than real time. HL2 runs pretty good on my compy (2 ghz P4, OCed to 2.66, 512 DDR, GF4 ti4200 video). the load times are forever, but they have been on every system i've seen running it.
I think our country has a clear history of recognizing that people will abuse their power, and limiting it thusly. It's why we have separation of powers, haebus corpus, search warrants, etc., etc., etc. To toss them out the window and say "there's nothing wrong with the law, it's just being abused," is to ignore volumes of history, including the principles upon which our country was founded.
Laws should NOT be easy to abuse. Checks, balances, oversight, and public accountability are the cornerstones of a free society.
thanks you! this is perhaps the best comment i have seen all day! if you give any man enough power. dispite best intentions, no good will come of it. "absolute power corupts absolutely", you don't even need absolute power for it to corrupt. and don't get me started if the person is already corupt before they get power.

regardless of if you belive Darwin, language evolves.

But you don't see them trying to buy competing search companies in an effort to prevent competition.
exactly
Most companies don't die from direct competition (i.e. OS vs OS) but from asymmetric competition (i.e. OS vs cool thing that makes OS less relevant).
correct again.
light bulbs vs. oil lamps
LPs vs. CDs
CDs vs. digital distibution (hint to record companies!)

i guess they're gonna need to outsource back over to this side of the ocean.
Printer companies HATE aftermarket cartridges.

very good point. i think that the usually contract terms for an artist is 1% of album sales or something. so $0.15 per album sold.
How many times can you rip it?
you can't. it's a CD-WOM!
i have this problem myself. i'm still stuck on dial up, dispite the fact that i was supposed to get DSL 2 years ago (project canceled due to "budjet overruns")
actually, it would be measured in watts if you wanted. or kilowatts more accuritely.
10 hp=7457 watts
i'd put it more to like an Oligopoly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligopoly)
this is the same case in the music industry.

i personally loved the story in Q2. the game i won't think will be much like doom3. more "BLOW SHIT UP!" than "sneak around in the dark"

The business is going to attempt to sustain growth and creativity by making game players buy newer and newer machines
hold on a sec. is he talking about the video game industry or the music industry?
well, think about it. music industry wants to require all kinds of DRM protection on "athorized" devices to play their music
