artists don't get paid shite for money anyway. why not release stuff that they've done, but never worked for clients, etc.?
maybe there's just not a good open-development, modular, artists' collaboration environment so that they can work together and get things accomplished.
well, let me see... bill gates making a stubborn fool of himself at a trial... outright lying and deception found by a judge in a US court of law... well, i guess that given Enron as an example, at least M$ isn't losing all their shareholders' money for them. but why do they have $40 billion in cash and liquid assets when they don't pay dividends (more than any other company on earth by far)? you're right, i should trust bill gates as far as i could throw his money-lined ass.
look, i hate M$'s tactics and feel that it's leveraging it's monopoly to buy into a new market, but the more i play halo, the more i like the whole feel of the controllers and the gameplay. well, sometimes. sometimes that block of f**king buttons on top pisses me off, it's impossible to hit the one you're looking for unless you have tiny fingers and thumbs with absolute accuracy.
i just wanted to point out that our government (witht the help of the british government) also invented modern terrorism. and for no good reason, really...

I tried takingthe video out from my GeForce2 DDR and plugging it into my TV tuner, then starting the tv capture software and recording it, but i couldn't get anything. How are you supposed to do it?
Well, aren't patents just a management scheme for human knowledge? Think of human knowledge as the spectrum of things that have discovered or isolated or invented, and then patents as a scheme fopr managing that information, as far as who can use what, and when, and how.
That's what I'm talking about! You get it down to where it can recognize unique pr0n images, and then hell, you can make your own "pr0n objects" and code them together like Java pr0n!
Throw in a force-feedback controller of some sort, an old Wolfenstein game engine, and then you'll just have to remember to leave the house ever so often to remind people that you're still alive;)
My winamp crashes on average once every 12 hours, I'd guess. And the fate of the free world doesn't depend on it. Hell, i've done tech support for 5+ years and i've seen people crash all kinds of things that could never be crashed. People crash themselves, for chrissakes;)
They'd just hack/crash the computers in the booths. And that's assuming that the computers didn't crash themselves - they'd have to have more computer technicians than the 57 mechanics that New York City had on hand this election, fixing broken voting machines on the fly.
Well, since they're going to recount them about 80 times by hand anyway, they should have used pen and paper. In fact, I think a lot of them did anyway - Palm Beach had a system where you punch holes in the ballot to vote.
It's sad how bad our voting system is - gives you great confidence in the democratic process, right? Between the dead voting and the living not getting a chance, it really makes you feel important. So now I need to take elected officials to lunch in order to make a difference...
If you onyl let 10% of the population work, and the other 90% sat around and hung out, which portion do you think would create large, intimidating devices to enslave the other portion and live off of them?
Yeah, this movie's coming out like Kevin Smith's "Superman" came out. My ass. The studios almost never put out anything really cool. They spend more money on lawyers and more time suing then actually making good films.
Dude, yeah, but you gotta admit that the stuff that comes out of Babelfish is still funny. There's nothing more funny that miscommunication about something that seems important. It's the oldest shtick routine in the world. "Who's on first?"... You can't just define something as not funny because you think its wrong. It's wrong to make fun of real people in difficult situations, but that's the great thing about life - there's this thing called "context" in this dimension called "time" that really rounds the place out.
Yeah, the length would be different, but just about every song on Napser is a different length for some random reason (original upload got cut off, didn't record the whole track, etc.). So you really can't tell all that well.
You will not find dozens of identical versions of a file on Freenet, because when a document is inserted into Freenet its key is generated by hashing the data. That means that two identical copies of a document will have identical keys, and thus they will never be stored redundantly on the same node.
The only trouble is that, if you look at Napster, things like mp3's for some reason have the same name and content but usually aren't the same length, due to different recording devices or user/machine error, etc. So there will be just as many multiple copies of "the same" stuff flying around as there are now, if not more. Sigh.

It's not a hoax, I saw it demo'ed for real.
;)
It's very cool, and it worked pretty well.
Yeah, it's nice to have a plasma monitor lying around
you've got to realize taht this was for a course that required using all of those things. so yes, redundant, but necessary for a grade...

this sounds like a conspiracy! too bad the lone gunmen are dead...
doubtful. nothing in soap operas or x-files is ever really dead.
exactly how does the cron job make the lights turn on and off? i didn't see it in the tutorial.
otherwise, cool.

what my point here? i forget. f*** M$.
Yeah, everyone has their flaws. I agree.
But Outlook still sucks, they should still be sued for not making people aware of it's vulnerabilities.
But you're still right.

Pretty similar, no?

Hopefully, let them be..

damn i wish i hadn't just used up all my moderation points...
