I agree, this is just a resolution to make another "National ***** Month".
The only criminal thing here is the waste of time, money and paper writing it up.
It's just like "National Soft Pretzel Month" does anyone care that April is N.S.P.M.? No, not MOST people at least. Will N.S.P.M. be the end of peace, justice and the crunchy way of life? I seriously doubt it. Will we hear advertisements, see commercials, get junk mail about this? Yea probably.
Does it make one lick of difference? Yes but only to the people who compose, print and deliver the junk mail, commercials and advertisements.
You know that there are quite a few other birth control options that prevent fertilization other than condoms. Such as cap, diaphragm, foam, sponge, femi-dom. The only real disadvantage to these is that they don't prevent transmission of AIDS thus they haven't been pushed by the Government. Also note that ANY form of birth control is sacrilegious to the whacked out "Every Sperm Is Sacred" Catholic nutjobs.
True enough but being the figurative 600 pound Gorilla of the gaming industry (or possibly Great White Shark, because of all the random bits in its stomach) WotC can pretty much just run out the clock (or bank) on any other "traditional gaming" company in it's way.
Yeay Capitalism where might makes right
So your main gripe is that you couldn't be bothered to hook a Ethernet card to your computer to read the online documentation?
Seriously if you are going to the trouble of swapping out 4 other PCI cards you might as well just move the computer and do an off site installation.
Trolling aside the lack of readily available offline, printed or installed, documentation for any Linux Distro is one of the major problems holding Linux back from wider adoption.
Actually the clock on the last VCR I bought stayed blank(dark) until you set it.
Come to think of it the same goes for my microwave.
Oh and the light in my refrigerator turns off when the door closes also.
Nope the only extraneous lights in my house are on the "High Tech" appliances.
Cable Modem, blinking lights
Monitor, blinking light
Computer (second hand), little light always on
Battery Charger, little lights
Speakers, little light
Digital Camera, little charging light
All in all I have to say I could live with a lot fewer little blinking lights in my life, and a lot more devices I could trust to just WORK when I plug them in.
The PS3 just had the greatest console launch in history in Europe.
The PS3 is selling at a faster rate in the US. Just my little bit of anecdotal evidence to the contrary
In my little University town in Iowa, Best Buy, Wallmart, K Mart, Target, and the various non big box stores all have PS3s in stock...
Now here is the kicker... They are all the same ones from the shipment back in the beginning of February.
I took my digital camera and took some pictures of them showing the dust accumulate, they literally haven't moved in over 6 weeks
By the way there is not a Wii to be had in this town...
I have to point out that the only two games that are REALLY breakaway sellers ie. MUCH More than 16 million copies are Super Mario Brothers (NES) and Tetris (GB) both of which were pack ins with their respective systems and not ACTUALLY sold.
Is it just me or, with a little software, could this become the platform for the, previously hypothetical, wireless "Pushed" advertising campaigns.
At the very least I think Retailers may try to offer in store downloadable freebies like wallpapers or movie trailers.
I have to agree with you. There are a few People making money with things like Virtual Slot and Vending machines that could be put under quite quickly if their code was circumvented.
I can't really see how they [the Lindens] can keep the sort of economy they have going without at least some "Black Box" elements in the code.
That being said I look forward to a GUI that isn't on par with Quark Xpress in terms of ugliness and learning curve.
I'm a Mac user and my hard drives have lasted.... Umm Forever(+5 years)
Wait scratch that, One drive died in a power surge when I yanked the cords
to save the computer from a burning building (don't ask)
But I read about windows users replacing drives every year or so...
Now Apple uses IBM Drives and I've always upgraded with the same
are they just better or is HFS HFS+ just that much gentler on the disks than FAT16 and FAT32
Wrong. Patents are theft, Copyrights are for people who want compensation for their own legitimate original creations, or at least that's how it was intended to be.
If you want to make another item identical to mine that's just fine, No Patents, but you have to do it from the ground up not just cutting and pasting, Copyright.
This could be one of the "Big Bads" that eventually kill Secondlife outright.
BTW your simple analysis that "Copyright is Theft" is more than enough to peg you as someone too immature to be yiffing anyway.
Gee what a great feature...
I've only been using that in the Safari browser for os-X for what... Five Years now?
Well it'll be nice to use a browser that renders pages right most of the time...
I just hope the dictonary can cope with my atrocious spelling.
Well I went ahead and Looked up my local (Iowa) sales tax codes and everything seems to point in one direction Tangible property and services. http://www.state.ia.us/tax/educate/78539.html Tangible is used 41 times through the document. I really dont see how these data files hosted on a server out of state can fall under tangible property, or count as an amusment device.
The video seems to be there and I had no problems finding it.
In fact there are, at this time, three (3) copies on the site none of them flagged
That really dosn't fit my definition of censored but perhaps you could lend me your copy of the "Rightwing Ditto Head Dictonary" and clear things up...
Did you even bother read the parent post before Replying with your uninformed opinion?
It dosn't look like it so lets go over the main points together, Ok.
It's not YouTube
I REALLY think this bit speeks for itself but it seems I to need to point it out to you.
it's people flagging the video as inappropriate. That causes the restriction to be put on
If you had EVER gone to YouTube.com you would see that under each video are 5 links "Save to Favorites", "Add to Groups", "Share Video", "Blog Video" and "Flag as Inappropriate" Now if anyone dosn't like a video they can just click the last link and it will be "Flagged" putting a warning screen in before loading the video page and alerting the YouTube.com staff to it, letting them make a decision from an objective point of view. they[YouTube] immediately removed the warning Now Here Is where you really baffle me.
In a 38 word post you completely skip over more than a THIRD of it as made obvious with the comment Disappointing indeed that the "flagged" content wasn't reviewed by YouTube and simply left be
Disappointing indeed that a slashdot reader can't even be bothered to read and understand 38 words in a row...
In conclusion sir You Fail
Real people booing at you (rather than a sound effect from a game) is one reason...
The other probable reason is lack of direction and feedback on you performance, having a truly neutral game grade you is preferable, for some, to a paid teacher tell you "Yea you are really improving" week after week.
Is there, possibly, a version of the 3Kproject that hasn't been put through the digital blender 3 or four times?
Seriously I could barely make anything out on the youtube version.

I would expect the SEGA reference to be for some of the music from the "F-Zero AX" game.

They used CG for particle effects with carrot munching and plucking bunnies from the ground.
Quite difficult to do in clay those are...
True enough but you can steal the research or the product of that research rather than licensing the product or doing it yourself.
This isn't a case of patents but one of industrial espionage.

Don't forget that The Wii-mote is also working, sans speaker and IR, on Mac OS 10.4
