But it didn't say a particular pixel can display millions of colors, it said the screen can. If the human eye thinks its getting shown millions of colors, it is.
Hmm. . . maybe I should sue God for making these substandard eyes! Make sure its new testament god (or a non-christian/judaic/islamic god) otherwise you'll be smited!
Sueing a car dealership who says they have "hundreds of cars to choose from" when it turns out they only have a hundred cars to choose from and a hundred SUV's to choose from, as SUV's aren't cars but vehicles. It'd also get thrown out I think.
I'm not Apple's biggest fan (like it more then Microsoft, less then Windows), and I hate false advertising. However.....
The reality is that notwithstanding Apple's misrepresentations and suggestions that its MacBook and MacBook Pro display millions of colors, the displays are only capable of displaying the illusion of millions of colors through the use of a software technique referred to as dithering, which causes nearby pixels on the display to use slightly varying shades of colors that trick the human eye into perceiving the desired color even though it is not truly that color. Isn't that going to get laughed right out of the courtroom? I mean sure that level of pedanticism is tolerated in some forums, but this is a court of law. Surely the judge is going to say a dignified version of "What the fuck are you on? Get the fuck out of here."
Yes lets get rid of immigration policy and let anyone go to America. I'm sure it won't become overpopulated. Nope. That's crazy talk. Next you'll be saying global warming actually exists.
Linux tends to have very little profit margin (compared with Microsoft) so its not surprising they chose not to waste it on this sort of pissing match.
Y'know, your post might have really valid points, except all I could think when I was reading it was "Was this written by the same guy as the zonk troll?" and those switcheur GTFO posts. So while you might have valid points, the tone just sounded like a troll to me.
Yes but does radio have a large profit margin? If not, then they can't really lose too much of this side-income or else they'll go out of business. So I wonder if its really worth it for the RIAA?
Yes but both encourage people to buy more music. If that is the logic used, the means in which the encouragement occurs should be irrelevant (assuming it isn't infringing on non-IP laws).
False rape claims not only hurt the victim, but Real rape victims as well in people believing their story etc. Exactly its like when ex-wives accuse their exhusbands of molesting their child. The immediate thought is "she's making it up." Or the buy who cried wolf.
Here in Florida, most communities are enacting completely unconstitutional laws barring exactly where "sex offenders" can live. Isn't any restriction unconstitutional? The constitution allows for criminals serving a sentence to have their freedoms restricted, but why are people who have served their time still having those freedoms restricted?
I always thought the whole branding people with triangles or circles went out once hitler was overthrown. That's all the sex offender list is, just a bit more classier version of it. If you do the crime, you do the time, and then its as if you didn't do the crime. You've atoned and been rehabilitated (otherwise you shouldn't be released). This sex offender list is just prolonging the punishment after the sentence has been served. I say we get rid of it and add the possibility for real sex offenders to be put in jail for life sentences.
Exactly. Infringing on the rights of RIAA singers is hurting small time musicians, not the RIAA. I think the RIAA and small time musicians should band together to get this law changed, then the RIAA rubbish can get ignored by the radio.
So wait, the law acknowledges that radio infringing on the rights of musicians is okay because it encourages people to buy the music. However illegally downloading it doesn't do this? WTF? How are the two different. I understand the RIAA's logic here. If one has a particular rule then the other should as well.
Now having said that, I think the RIAA and I differ on which rule should be moved to which system;)
Actually the radio will be telling people who to like. It will be people they can afford (most likely free people in many cases). Sounds like a win for me if the RIAA gets what they want.
But its illegal;) I prefer to follow the law and instead support those who don't require me to break it by giving them my money and time. Unfortunately I've given palm some of my money and time so I want to get it back legally.

Which is sad as I know next to nothing. Hopefully they'll get the right expert and the judge will listen.

It's the fucking stupidest idea I've heard since Bill Gates started at Windows.
Missing the point. Creating registrations people are forced to go on for free citizens is bad. Whether its X, Y or Z.
It was more of a humorous observation then anything else ;)

I just tested to see if its available, it isn't.
I'd prefer to see a law inhibiting data mining altogether myself. But you're probably right on what law we'll get.
What's the point? Tags no longer appear.

Aaah, so it would have been as okay in Nazi Germany if Judaism and homosexuality were outlawed first? Seems like a meaningless step to me.

I use a keyboard with my PDA so pretty damn good.
