Yes, i saw letters which were about smuggling money out of Nigeria, and some which were about literally laundering money which came from a botched bank robbery. People who fell for these DESERVE the punishment. If those cases were real and they caught, they would sit in prison.
Chickens are so wise, some of them are able to run around without their head attached!
if groklaw made an impact on the court cases...

Grokking SCO's Demise

· Score: 4, Insightful
Then the court system is rotten to the core. Luckily it isn't:) How do you think a paralegal site should (and could) influence a court case significantly? The courts must (and i bet they would) have decided the same way without Groklaw. Of course Groklaw was sorely needed to dispel the fud and to keep concerned people informed. It balanced SCO quite well, even with its 'partisan noise':)
They could be fake agents, who know an awful lot of information BECAUSE they are the criminals. This way without a court order, they can simply clean up after themselves. Nice.
They released ALL damn passwords in a public record. Anyone (who already has physical access to this network), which could be quite many people, could have various degree of access to the network. I'm sure hackers who already got a way to the network perimeter would like these passwords too. The ensuing chaos will prove he was right, sadly they will make him the scapegoat for it too, none will see (or admit) Childs was right.
Who the fuck cares about if my YouTube viewing habits get into a data warehouse as a statistical data? Maybe it is annoying a bit, maybe i get even some more spam due to it, but why would i want to avoid the site?
>The market doesn't say that. CDs still sell. But, guess what, counterfit goods always have a market. That doesn't mean there is no market for Gucci bags. Yes, it does. With such low cost of HD/flash and such good compression methods, i don't use CDs anymore. Even if i bought a CD, i would rip & compress it to HD to play it, instead of letting it scratch (i also don't like swapping cds).
There are several other problems with their business model. They sell good music bundled in crap. They resell music high above the production cost. They create a huge overhead, and became obsolete now that the real makers of music can sell it directly. (The *AA doesn't make music itself).
I thought she more or less intentionally got herself burned by coffee again, just to force a payment:) You know, i can imagine a lot about americans and their lawsuits.
Ok, what about a mod which introduces boobs (or more) to some popular children's game? How hard is to bring boobs in ANY game and hack it to show them? How different is that from having the actual pixels sleeping on the disk? I think a good lawyer could proove there is NO difference.
Huh, the world of Shadowrun is near. Imagine a brain implant connection to the net with some self-helping homepage. They can burn your brain (LEGALLY) if you just wander off the net in the wrong direction...
>It's good to have a healthy mix of diversity and I wish that programmers were 50/50 split on gender (trust me, I really really do) but it's not because women are better than men at coding. Prime example of American sexism in one of the few forms it exists today.
I would like to be the only male programmer in the field:) Sadly, i have not seen ONE female programmer.
For example, if you are a chair in Redmond, i wouldn't be in your place. If you are a Yahoo stockholder, it M$ would give you an one time cash, but then Yahoo would be left to rot. With Google, they might have a good business, and eventually merge wholly with Google. If you are a M$ stockholder, you should probably buy Yahoogle stock, it is safer (better for you), believe me. If you are Icahn, you suck.
In 44k generations there were billions of bacteria. One of them made it, and was more successful than its buddies. If some other substance was there, chances (only chances) are there that some other entity would have been lucky and be the happy ancestor of the future generations.
You bring up chemical reactions: the meteorite goes through heavy oxidisation and stress during its entry to the atmosphere. Water on earth came from ice meteorites too, and Earth gains solid matter from micrometeorites daily as well.
>Creation? Oh Lord, earth has not been created in years. It just fell from heaven.
Nyah, it was created from Sun's accretion disc by the FSM. Its matter still orbits the Sun in the same distance, so I doubt falling is appropriate wording.

Then resell it, or open source it.
It gets stuck.

Nice.
Because they would start thinking instead of working for Gates and his friends?
Yeah, creative capitalism at its best.
Or the beginning of Idiocracy?
I hope the linux people will buy ATI/AMD otherwise they will die soon, very soon.

That would be dangerous. Soldiers would get hurt, you know. It is easier to cuff some music loving geeks.

I request you to turn off your unwanted service. NOW.
email to snail mail is like
torrents to cd's.

Burnt once, ok, might be the fault of McDonalds. But twice?
Some people never learn?
I guess she forgot to take her medication too.
They must PAY for it. This is plain extortion and tie-in sale.

They will just replace the firmware, or shortcut a chip.
So, Microsoft patented the broadcast flag?
