What he is saying, he doesn't think that a Phantom console kind of model will work, where you play a game and then download additional levels as you play along. He is saying he doesn't think its worth time to code in that way because for most people waiting 5 seconds to play a game or change levels is too much of a hassle. I bought Half Life 2 from Steam. I could play it again but that means I would have to download it again, which would be like 6 hours or so on my connection. Yes, you can download full games online and play them, but try taking that game to a friends house. Or playing that after your hard drive crashes.
Also even if this is from the future, Nintendo doesn't have plans to offer full on Wii games as a download, only older games read smaller games from their back catalog. So even if Wii is a success, it doesn't mean anything.
It's a little different, that one was linking to code which was protected under trade secret laws and violates the DMCA, this is linking to a gambling site. 2600 was a civil case, this is a criminal one, a class c felony. You can't have a website about weed and tell people where to go buy it. That's what this is. So yeah its similar but not really.
No, because brick and mortar casino card rooms are legal in Washington and Indian casinos are at ever 10th exit on the interstate. Hey guys I'm going to my room to play blackjack online anypointers would be illegal. I think its a dumb law, gambling is a serious issue and should be dealt with.
Very true, however if the question one of the Federal constitution, then the defendant can bypass the state Supremes and go directly to the SCOTUS and then go directly to jail, do not collect 200 dollars.
What happens if your computer breaks, you would have to fly all the way to Japan, or ship it to get it fixed. You are also neglecting you also need to pay for customs fees. With a Dell you get some support, not much but some. And a nvidia 6600 was never state of the art. So I must conclude you are lying, had a really hard time converting yen to dollars or full of it. I think you are full of it.
Web browsing is fine on 800x600 screens. Unless you are posting to websites or doing anything heavily text oriented. But for looking at Myspace profiles and playing you tube 800x600 is not too bad. But of course the question is we know the Wii cannot do HD but can the Wii even do 800x600.

OTA Television is not encrypted, so there is no reason to avoid television because of DMCA, yet. Also regular people know about DRM, they don't know what its called though, they know they can't play certain mp3s as ringtones on their cell phones, or why they can't use their Apple iTunes songs on their Samsung mp3 players.
Generally shrinkwrapped EULAs are based on UCC article 2 rather than common law analysis and under the UCC there is no need for consideration for a contract to be valid. But you are correct there is no Federal contract law.
Wouldn't a slot load have less moving parts than a tray loading drive? Car Cd players have used slot load forever. But I think we both agree that the main cause of failure in the recent Macs is failure due to case design rather than poor quality control.
Dell uses standard components that are battle tested, that's why Dell's are so boring. Apple tends to put in more bells and whistles but when doing so, it goes beyond standard laptop design so its no suprise that Apple has more initital quality issues than a Dell. Dell is like buying a Chevy, cheap, reliable enough and cheap to fix. Apple is like buying a Bmw, more expensive, not as reliable, and expensive to fix. In a Chevy you are getting the same basic car you can buy in 1956. With a BMW, you are getting something little more advanced.
To be fair the ci was a replacement for the cx, the cx being the first generation of Mac IIs with the smaller case, then came the ci and the quadra 700.
Apple outsources pretty much everything on their laptop. So the Apple DVD drive is probably similar if not the same model as the one on the think pad, same for the screen. The complaint on the case is valid though because Apple probably did design that aspect of the laptop, and as beautiful as Apple's are, there is a reason why PC laptop makers make their laptops so boring looking.
By your definition any non violent crime would result in a fine. But what if the person does not pay the fine. A poor person steals something from the store, government fines the poor person. Poor person cannot and does not pay the fine. Then what, everyone steals. Statutory rape is not a violent act. Child molestation also is not a violent act. Child porn is also not violent. By your definition then these criminals should only be fined.
5 years may be excessive, but if you fail to pay taxes you should go to jail. I have no problem with that. And the state doesn't go rather some random dude that buys a camera from NewEgg. Its a rich mother fucker who buys a million dollar yacht in Oregon and then uses his yacht in Washington using Washington state government services for free. 8% of a million is 80,000 dollars. I have no problem if these rich fucks go to jail, that is all.
True, but you are using credit cards. If you fail to pay your credit card debt, the credit card company cannot collect on debt accrued in the process of illegal activity.
Internet gaming and lottery gaming are different markets. Poorer people play the lottery, poorer people are less likely to have computer and internet access and also less likely to have a credit card. I grant you there is an overlap and someone who plays more online will probably be less likely to play the lotto. But it's not that big of a market.
This law only covers online gaming, Brick and Mortar gaming in Washington is quite plenitful and legal. In fact there are probably more Casinos in the Washington per capita than any other state besides Nevada and New Jersey. And as of yet there are no online state lotteries.
If it's illegal then if someone loses a lot of money at a n online casino, the casino cannot go through the Washington courts to get the money. Its like if you didn't pay for your heroin, the dealer can't go to court and asked to be paid. But then this brings up bigger issues, if people cannot gamble online legally then they will gamble with shady people that have no problems not going through the court system.
What's wrong with that. Why should some schmuck get free services from the government, if they aren't paying taxes they should be punished. Like I pointed out before Washington doesn't collect income tax so they don't care either way.
Yeah it is a right. It becomes a property right once you get the job, like how the government cannot take away your house without reason and due process, they cannot take away your job without due process.
That's because the 8th amendment gives the right to government employees to keep their job. It's called due process. Government jobs is a right, thus government workers for better or for worse get more protection than you would working at Ford. It makes sense otherwise you have purging of everyone that might disagree with your policitcal point of view. How would you like to get fired as a janitor at the white house because you didn't vote for Bush.

However, many sports booking sites do take credit cards which also are banned under this law.

Washington state doesn't have an income tax. They don't care if you have an account in an off shore account.
Don't you think if you don't think giving a wedgie is funny, perhaps you are a little too old to be playing video games.
