This is OSS took to the extreme. One for all and all for one doesn't apply when people are at risk. If you don't release a fix ASAP then you're knowingly risking the security of peoples computers. Like it or not this is a ridiclous idea from the ground up.
Work together for the greater good, don't force others to work together so you all look good.
Okay so.. How does a film being on P2P network ruin my fun? I plan to see ep 3 in a weeks time when it's all calmed down. I could download it but I'd rather go and see it at the cinema. Sitting infront of my PC for 2-3 hours to watch a film isn't as fun as watching it on the big screen. But how does some kid in another country downloading it make it less fun for me?
Why can't the MPAA/RIAA just fuck off. When the revolution comes they will get premier tickets for being up against the wall
What's the price? I have two phones from before when they added all the extra crap. I can text and phone with them just fine. Why would I want to buy a new one when mines worked fine for 5 years or so..
Okay this is misleading. The idea is NOT to make them lose weight, it's to get them to EAT BETTER. The idea is this way kids will at least try fruit and other healthy options and hopefully stick with it. Most news channels covering it today had kids saying they liked fruit and would stick with it.
So this isn't "go on a diet you fat fucks" it's "try this, it's nice".
OSX only has to run on 1 evolutionary line of hardware (AKA the Mac from the first with reasonable specs to the latest). Microsoft have to make windows run on ALL system set ups.
Stop charging a ridiclous price and I might buy XP, untill then all the games I want run fine on Windows 98 and I'm not switching to any OS except dualboot Linux when I get a new modem.
Slashdot maybe large but live journal's user base (myself included) is also very large. Most of them are idiots (AKA teen girls) so they would instantly start using it and think it was a great idea to only need to sign onto one site ever.
If "average whiney girl mark 3" thinks it's a good idea she will tell her friends and it'll spread like wild fire through the mass market. The geeks can't control this only choose if we listen to the cries or get snowed under with them if this happens.
China keeps giving themselvs huge rubs on the back and anyone who tries to move in on it gets a kick in the groin.
This is exactly the same as every other country (look who gets all the contracts in Iraq for example), the only "real" difference is we all know "china is evil" and America/Europe/Whatever you like near the Atlantic is "good" and "helping the industry".
So China's doing nothing different from anyone else. If anything being "shut in" may even help Linux if Microsoft piss off the wrong government member.
hey, look on the bright side even if it sucks it looks like we'll get some good light saber battles. Even if you hated most the rest of the film the light saber battles in the prequals were pretty cool to watch.
The smart geek will keep an emergency back up admin account around. While it may sound like he's planning something evil with it (AKA fuck with me and I fuck you over, which it could be used for). He could also be making sure theres always a back up if things goto hell and someone tries gains access and tries to take out all the admin accounts.
It's like keeping a spare house key hidden in the garden or getting a second set of keys cut for your car and keeping them in a safe place.
Is it me or does this look like the Xbox 2 to anyone else? They both seem to be giant iPods with a weird shape...
I guess Nintendos "new kickass thing" is not using a design which is already looking generic and vile. If you look at any of Nintendos consoles they date well because they have their own "clunky yet cool" style, which even the PS has to some point. Where as the latest two machines unveiled just appear to be clones of the same damn thing. Give it 5 years when iPods arn't so cool any more and it'll seem like an eye sore.
On the other hand a Gundam game has already been shown for it (Mobile Suit Gundam : Mobile suit Gundam world), so I'll be buying one for that like I bought the PS2 for Gundam games.
Why don't patent officers just do a simple check like "Is it full of mumbo jumbo which makes little to no sense?" if yes then instantly dismiss it. If no then judge it fairly.
It's plain as day these companies are playing the field.
If yougoto any country shows you will find a stand with people who will happily put a microchipinto a dogs ear so it can be tracked and IDed. If it went missing they could track it by the tag and it's cheap and painless.
Have you seen the RIAA/MPAA propaganda as you put it?
Seems downloading a movie/song/TV episode will make some guy homeless and his kids totally ass fucked. That 50p you didn't spend will ruin his life even though the company has several billion to throw around..
you also forget to include merchandise. In the UK we get little to no anime released here beyond the little kids crap (DBZ etc). Now when you consider what people buy a year in extras (model kits in my case), it more then makes up for the loss of DVD sales which would never happen any way.
The new business model wouldn't be as effective as the current but it would still work well. The series is free, the merchandise isn't.. throw in manga translations at a good speed and a good model kit line and most animes will make a profit. It's a different style but it'd still work.
The exact same thing happened with Doctor Who. I couldn't careless for it before the leak, infact I downright mocked it. Thanks to peoples reviews I started to watch it and now follow it every week.
Human evolution has reached the point where other then learning to breathe in a low oxygen area (like underwater) or being able to fly we've pretty much at the peak we can be at.
Over the years we've evolved to use tools and tools have kept us up with the latest evolutionary fad. We're pretty much a stable mutation of a monkey (with other obvious mutations still happening once in a while). Other then learning to fly or breathing water we can't adapt any more to our planet.
When humans move to another world with more problems we will probably start evolving again. Untill then why risk evolving and screwing ourselvs over if we take the wrong path?
They really need to try and sell this to the "average old lady", who has no use for games but needs a little browser/e-mail system. Surely if they set the specs right this could compete with the mac mini (on price) and be portable.
anyone who's legal to vote will have at least 1 form of picture identity or some unique card to ID them, from a driving licence(like myself and I took with me incase) to something as simple as a libary card or natural security card.
erm.. people took the joke wrongly it seems. It was a freaking joke, you know how many people get dragged to these things for little kids? At least star wars has Padame.

They missed Universal Century off as well :/

The two arn't even comparable.

What about the G forces at the speed of light? Does it just rip peoples skin off?

But wouldn't that mean it had to dig it's self into something to be stuck.. like wet mud..?
What is it stuck on?

So we have a dope 24 hours apart? Is Taco training his replacement?

yes but you miss my point.. we dont need ID cards to prove who we are.
anyone who's legal to vote will have at least 1 form of picture identity or some unique card to ID them, from a driving licence(like myself and I took with me incase) to something as simple as a libary card or natural security card.

this has started a huge flame war over nothing
