The RIAA (or so the parent claims) asserts we can't do certain things with a book, I simply showed that yes we can do those things with books. Or does the Audio Home Recording Act also affect books?
Does Apple have to pay every existing recording studio for potential thefts, including little Jimmy running a studio in his parent's basement?Don't be silly. They only have to pay the people that will possibly sue them successfully. There's no chance Jimmy will win in a lawsuit against Apple.
Funny they would use books as an example, as I was under the impression it was covered under fair use to scan in your book, increase the font, print it in a hardback format, read it outloud and record my voice and then listen to that after creating an e-book version of what I scanned in.
play this once a year, just to remember what good, non-pretty gaming can beI love how Nintendo fan boys say that as if its a good thing. Me, I'll play my good, pretty games. That's right. Good and pretty aren't mutually exclusive.
The summary suggests that an appeal might be on its way, and I imagine the ruling will be shot down. To make any changes to currency would not only require completely recirculating the billions of papers out there, but it would probably require drastic changes to the printing process. Different shapes, sizes, or including braille print sound like expensive alterations.
And yet somehow us Australians managed to do it. It all depends on how much your government cares about your disabled.
And this just in, Thailand's new junta-appointed Education Minister has been given a substantial amount of money from Microsoft for consultation fees. When asked, Microsoft said "While we do believe that handing out laptops wasn't the correct direction for Thailand considering most of the computers already run Windows, it was most definitely not a bribe. Thailand's new junta-appointed Education Minister was consulted on completely unrelated matters. Trust us."
Well, for all intents and purposes, to anyone that really believes in FOSS and is informed about the deal, Novell is now a pariah.And to 99% of the business world the deal has only had a positive effect on Novell's image. I wonder who Novell is more concerned with? The business world or a few fan boys from slashdot?
What's really funny about this particular SCO accusation is that they're basically accusing IBM of being careful not to accidentally put SCO's (alleged) IP in Linux, and trying to spin it as a bad thing.
Not quite. They're claiming IBM put the code in, and are now removing it to try to hide their infringement.
SCO's claims are so ridiculous it is possible to refute them without misrepresenting them. Although I will admit it might not be possible to do that while trying to get a first post.
Well I made the best comparison I could. But because Nintendo's games are aimed at kids I had trouble finding very many games targeted towards adults (by the way, Resident Evil isn't targeted towards adults). For every game targeted towards an adult on a nintendo system I can name one on the Playstation targeted towards an adult. And I'll run out of adult games on a nintendo system long before I run out on a Playstation.
Why not simply allow customers to choose whether or not they go with a bank that uses them? Given that there does exist such banks, its simply up to the user how much securing their bank account is to them. They can choose a cheaper, but less secure bank or a more expensive, but more secure bank. Why make the government force people to do it? Wouldn't that be like forcing people to have a password on their computer?
In the past I've noticed most, not all, younger guys wouldn't be caught dead buying a game cube, or any of the previous Nintendo offers, as they we're "kid's games".
As a single under 30 I can say this is completely not true for me. The reason I won't be caught dead buying a game cube is because its games don't cater to me. I prefer roleplaying games that focus on the storyline. Instead I get The Sims 2: Pets, Super Mario Strikers and Teen Titans. Even with the RPGs it claims to have I get Pokemon, Harvest Moon, Lord of the Rings. While there might be one or two good games on the system, its hardly worth an entire console for them.
That was until they were over at a friend's house and got sucked into a few crazy rounds of drunk Mario cart and other Mario games.
Any game that requires you to get drunk to enjoy is a bad game.
As a fine for putting someone else's music up for download by potentially millions of anonymous strangers, it's not exactly out of line.
The RIAA is not a government nor a government agency. The RIAA cannot collect fines from individuals. Sorry, but the language we use is very important or else we'll start thinking things unconsciously. That's why anti-abortion people call themselves pro-lifers.
Wait a minute, if its per work, could I make available to everyone a song, pay the RIAA tax, and then continue making that song available to people and not get re-taxed? That sounds pretty cool to me:D (assuming the courts can be made to drop down the tax to something more reasonable, or even better rule the law unconstitutional and throw it out altogether).
So if I stab someone to death and leave that knife in the body. And then a mentally competent adult comes across the knife and murders someone else with that knife, should I be held accountable for both murders? After all, I only murdered one person.
If it is true, you're wife's granddad was sure someone who while I technically should frown upon, sounds pretty good in my book. Although the story does sound extremely similar to what I've heard before so I'm thinking it's more an urban myth.

By staying the fuck away from it.

If Novell will pay me a mere $4 million AU over the next five years, I'll promise not to sue any of their customers for any reason at all.
This offer is also open to any other companies who want to take me up on it.

I don't have a cell phone but I do have a bank account. How am I suppose to use this?

Final Fantasy VIII versus Mario Sunshine. I wonder which one is targeted towards a more mature audience?

They shouldn't accept licenses that forces them to do evil. Kinda like not operating in countries where the laws force them to do evil.
Taxes are mandatory whereas getting drunk is optional. You cannot use taxes to say anything about drinking at a pub.
What about us sadists? Everyone always forgets us sadists :(
For as long as I've been alive the Liberal party's name has always been considered ironic.
I don't believe in beating up a judge who didn't actually do anything physically violent ;)
That'd be a bit expensive to post in the mail.
