...would this be the end of movie rentals? no more late fees to be sure.
i really dont think this would fly. people arent going to want to buy a new player, plus what if you are going to a friends house for movie night? bring your player? yeah right.
i guess to me a 'crime against society' involves hurting another person in some manner, so yeah, i would elimate most of their personal rights.
the 'crimes' you listed are intrinsically non-violent crimes and generally only affect the 'criminal'. theives can go either way, i know most convenience stores around here that get robbed also get shot up.
does this program apply only to high-security prisons? i dont know. but you're right, there needs to be a distinction. in the interim write your senator and represenatives.
you make a valid point. right now i am content just to be informed when they move into the area. that way i can deal with the situation. i dont know if they need to be tracked via gps or anything. i guess, to me, it would depend on if they have a history of abducting kids or just doing it at church / school. good point.
prisoners gave up many of their rights when they commited a crime against society - theft - murder - etc. personally i dont think a murderer should have the same rights i enjoy - though they should still be treated humanely.ie no cruel and unusual.
TFA says that an inmate was able to pass through the prison and stalk another inmate who was then murdered. this is supposed to help track inmates more efficiently. a red flag might go up if inmate A follows inmate B from a distance of 50' for a couple hours.
also i dont think many (if any) states chain inmates together anymore. i know there was controversy in s. dakota when the then (motorcyclist killing) governer reinstated 'chain gangs'.
the nice thing about backwards compatibility is that you dont have to hook up your old box when you get an ich to play and older game for a few hours. and i have a couple older multiplayer games that my friends and i still like to play.
i am just saying to consider something before you decide against it. you might see something you like and want to add to your custom view.
i put forth that you are trying to deny designers from having it their way. if a designer wants ultimate control over how their creations are viewed they should be allowed to have the ability to counter your changes. you are free not to view their work. by and large i dont think it really matters in the context of a website.
dont you loose steering on new cars when the power is off? i know the steering wheel on my car locks up. simply let the engine 'bounce' off the rev limiter when in neutral.
i have yet to say someone is required to do something. you can do it how you like, when you like. i am simply saying to give other ideas a chance before you go back into your habits. when i was younger i didnt like onions or tomatos. someone said i should try them again. i like both now. are you afraid of new ideas and ways of doing things?
i dont see it as mind control. i see it as saying 'try to look at something from a different perspective. give new ideas, compositions a chance' after that, do whatever you want. if i sell you a painting and tell you it goes this way, you then turn it 45 degrees and say, 'naw, i like this' thats fine. you at least opened your mind for a moment. that is all i ask.
there is a difference between saying 'consider this idea' and 'you must think this idea' so view a site as intended then do what you will with it.
you are correct, nothing stops you from viewing things how you want, do it on acid or with purple glasses. you may even glean a deeper understanding of the subject matter. you can use whatever os/browser you want, your life, your choice.
who says the point of a website isnt to convey art? my website conveys art and information. by conveying art through my website potential clients get a taste of what to expect by hiring me. you are focused on vewing webpages as words. to me images convey much more than words ever could.
if i client wants me to design something, i dont want them to come along and mix it up after the fact, why hire me? at the same time you could mix up my site and ask me to design something with those new ideas in mind, happens all the time. people come and say i liked 'x' can you add 'y' and 'z' to it?
i never said anything about considering it a crime to change how you personally view a website. i am just trying to convey to you that sometimes things are displayed a certain way for a reason. i am not trying to force someone to think a certain way. if they dont understand my art or interpret in in thier own way thats fine, thats art. everyone gets a different feeling, but the underlying context is often always there.
when you go to an art museum to you rearrange how the art is displayed?
the point is that is he feels his web design is a work of art and he is trying to convey and spark certain feelings / emotions. artists can be fickle when it comes to their work.
...big obtrusive ads and it appends a little advert at the bottom of every email. other than the ads, it looks decent.
i used aol dial-up for free for 6 months until broadband (cable) was available in the area. i popped in a one month, unlimited hours disk. everytime i went to cancel they said, keep trying it for another month - for free. that lasted until broadband finally arrived.
people like to proclaim bush's lack of a popular vote as meaning he is illegitimate. happens all the time unfortunately. there really needs to be a run-off so that someone has to get over 50%.
no, not really. advertisers pay to show commercials which in turn pay for the show (radio works exclusively this way). your monthly subscription to cable pays for infrastructure and maintenance of the delivery system. why should i be able to copy a library book? if i check it out i am able to read it on my own time without being forced to read an advertisement. and since i am paying for this service via taxes it falls under the second condition of my first post. to be able to view the material on my own time. it just so happens that the contract with the library states that i bring it back. lastly most books state you cant reproduce this book but you can cite it as a source.
since we are being asked what we want, that is what i want in regards to tv.
society created libraries to preserve knowledge. we let people check the book out, read it and bring it back. we let them access reference material too. they arent giving copies to their friends becuase it is cost/time prohibitive to copy a book. my local libraries allows someone to copy 10 pages at a time for ten cents a page. multiply that by 300 pages add in the time it takes, even at minimum wage it adds up, just buy the book.
if i were a person who paid for cable (i just have rabbit ears) in the first place i would pay more to not have commercials. shows could be longer to fill the time slot or the same length, either way would be fine.
and more advertising in the shows is fine as long as it isnt overt. walk through my house, look in my fridge, 'advertising' everywhere. i might even tell a friend i like brand X.......but if the actor turns to the camera and hold up his soda, smiles, cue sparkle. that would be a problem.
internet shareing will always be there. personally i think it is more trouble than it is worth to find a good torrent (havent used bittorrent for a good two years now) for the latest shows or search for music files that are actually complete and of a decent quality. i would just rather buy the season on DVD and watch when i have the time.

...i can now fit my 1/100th of my porn collection on one disk. sweet.
if anyone can set up a server authenticate does that mean they can access my information? or track my movements? i am thinking of abuses.

i agree w/ you there. its a wrist band, so yeah it would be removed when their term is served - a'la martha.
isnt there a movie where the inmates where a RFID around their neck that explodes if they tamper with it / go to far away from the facility?

brochure is a good way to put it. i never said i design webpages - just know enough to convey what i create. i am an artist.

how can it be 'around the world'? the event lasted 3 hours or so and the other half of the globe was in daylight...
...i want to be sure i have this right, on a scale that ranges from 0-9, 9 is the 'highest'? fascinating.
groovy, graci.

i agree, that is a problem, copy protection should be at the discretion of the author.
