and what makes think that if you only have a dollar per day that you are actually going to be able to afford what the capitalist pig who is marketing it is charging to replicate things?
This is on a par with the government wanting to install a GPS in my car, so I can't speed.
It's my machine, get the fuck out of the guts of it... If I want to debug my kernel, I sure as shit don't wan't some third party piece of crap stopping me.
Fair enough if I had pirated software, it's there even though I own a legal copy.
Wankers.
That is all.
I remember reading a book as a kid where a "mad" professor built a remote control flying dragonfly (as opposed to a non-flying one, duh)....
Soe schoolkid got hold of it blah blah blah, anyone else remember the book?
This has to be a joke right?
I mean, If you get sick from the smell of a keyboard, then what else in the room is making you sick? Think you might be grabbing at straws a bit here?
Blame it on your parents, it's their fault for not letting you outside to eat worms and dirt when you where a kid.
Maybe to get around any privacy issues is to put a "blocker" on the mic. It would work this way.... It would effectively turn off the mic for 50 minutes out of every 60, but still keep recording, then you run it through some software that just deletes the blanks.
You haven't got a clue champ.... Firstly, the kid was not the creator, but the modifier.
Secondly, he DID intrude into peoples systems indirectly by releasing the modified worm. And thirdly, If I'm immunised against influenza, and then someone releases a genetically modified strain of influenza, is it my fault that I get sick from catching it? No, it is not.
Give ME a break, he deserves every single thing he gets.
Hear, Hear.
I am not american, and I wholeheartedly agree with your surmation of the United States (as a whole, not individually) being Tyrranous Overlords.
You have absolutely no concept of cultural divides and differances in any of the countries you invade. "In god we trust" yes, but your god, not the god of the country you are invading.
The thing to remember about the surveylance at the Olympics is that it will more than likely to be to check on the athletes and atendees, whether it will remain in place afterwards is another matter, then it will be open to abuse.....
Laser stands for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
How many Americans are sat here thinking, "You mean to tell me it's spelled Laser?? Whoa man!! What color is it? What flavor does that come in, do they make it in aluminum??.... Bzzzzt! Bzzzt! Does not compute, speeeelchecka not werking!!!
Not having much of an insight in the law field, Doesn't he have to prove he isn't a shyster to even have a chance with this case.
And furthermore, the comment about the elephant, can this be claimed as defemation when in fact all it is is a way of representng what he does? I work as a piping engineer, and someone could make a similiar statement about me. "All you do is make sure shit flows through pipes, you're a proctologist"
X Prize vehicles must be able to launch three humans - as well as an eight-track tape, a laptop computer, and a ball kicked by famed soccer player David Beckham
WTF???? Beckham would be lucky if he could even spell X Prize, what the hell has he got to do with the cost of rocket fuel?
Personally, I would love to see a bunch of Canadians jump into a machine built with hot glue and bean cans, with no prior testing, and blast the yanks away. Troll me, mod me down, whatever you want, but there is something oh so nice about the underdog winning is there not?
Slap on a CD, buckle yourselfs into the bucket seats you robbed from your mums plymouth, and do yourselves proud boys!
P.S. I am neither canadian or yank, so my only bias is caused by politics:P
I remember my old 386sx kit computer I bought.... Could probably buy a sports car with what I paid for it......

Things will be a bit slow for a while, as we're being slashdotted at the moment. Hi slashdotters!
$20Aud a game per year is all your games are worth?
You still pay $7Aud to hire a DVD, and that lasts, what, 90 minutes.
Fair cop, it is pricey, but when you look at the amount of hours you would spend playing a game, $100Aud works out to a few cents per hour in the long run.

Hey fucker, trying to make me install this spyware on my PC?
Which means, it then is profitable.... If enough people use it at a minimal profit, it becomes very profitable.
Does this mean we are going to get adware pop-ups on our cases as well as our screens?
