I wonder who gets to decide what is spyware? who is going to write the definition? what other powers will they decide to give themselves why they are at it?
ask yourself, when was the last time the federal government did anything which was in your best interest, and not that of big business or other moneyed powers?
news involving google which isn't "google did something today! it's news because it's GOOGLE!"
next you'll be telling me about an apple story that isn't about apple putting 'i' in front of something or 5th hand reports from a blogger that someone, somewhere said something about apple or itunes.
well, have you thought about ya know, being a parent and telling your kids what is and is not acceptable in polite company? and then if they continue to act like little asshats, do your job and wash their mouths out with soap, or show them the business end of a rawhide strap.
Parents are not powerless, and it is time they stood up and took responsibility for their little shits.
to release new hardware? or to release a patch to let us use network or USB storage? or to re-encode all the redbook audio and fmv with real codecs so that those games don't clock in at anything over 50MB?
speaking of, how the hell hard is it to whip up a usb keyboard driver?
(from the way this drew your ire, I suspected you were in the content business)
books are one of those things where the physical version in much superior to the digital. And do you really need 95 or 70+lifetime years of copyright? There is no reason why we can't have #1 squared away without the excessively long copyright term.
>>content creators
I didn't say 'creators' I said copyright holders, these are very rarely the same people. People produced content for hundreds of years before copyright cartels and any copyright law.
>>Take movies for example...
I can store ~6 movies on a single layered DVD. I can store Hundreds of full ISOs on a single hard drive. I can play a.avi or.mkv file anywhere on the planet. This is coming from someone who DOES have an affinity for physical copies, physical copies will always be less portable than bits on a drive. And more to my point, I meant portability in the sense of having it play on a tv, or computer screen or portable device or what the fuck ever.
If anyone realizes that having an economy that is increasingly dependent on "intellectual property" is a bad thing. Nowadays there is no compelling reason to buy things from the copyright holders other than maybe feeling guilty or an affinity for tangible copies. ESPECIALLY since the pirated versions often are much better than the retail versions in functionality and portability.
of course it doesn't glow or kill superman, it wasn't effected by either the destruction of krypton or a trip through space. What exactly do they pay these so called scientists for anyway?
Has anyone ever been sued for copying a press release? You know those things they release with the sole intent of being copied by newspapers and anyone else who gives a fuck?

cut scenes can be good, or they can be bad. as with everything else under the sun, it is how they are done which matters.

someone at google sent a memo to someone else... AT GOOGLE! story expected to be picked up by /. sports at 11.
pool's closed. due to aids.

it's just me and I'm not up on all the whys and wherefores but how fricken hard can it be to count something?
now no one will use torrentspy. It never ceases to amaze me how hard some people will try to put the genie back in the bottle.

fyi, the 64's main cpu was 93.75mhz VR4300. audio and graphics were handled by the 62.5mhz SGI RCP.
The internet pre-dates copyright law. ... you sure about that?
that is kind of a funny post, seeing as how the industrialization came to america through people ignoring british patents and copyrights.

Nintendo figured out the secret to not losing money. They make money. Crazy I know.

and thanks to SkyHD(and others) we here in the US got to see all the eps before they aired here.
that thinking would still have us with segregated schools, if a law is unconstitutional it is the duty of the judiciary to rule against it.
he is saying they won't be children forever, and that the 1st amendment protections everyone enjoys shouldn't be reduced because of them.
Because we are completely incapable of doing more than one thing at a time. Amirite?
let me know when something can be done about these genetic defects.
As someone from SE Indiana this made me lol. DST sucks.
