Get a grip bud - copyright is a relatively new idea, not some kind of inalienable right of the people. I don't know how it should be in law, but I'm not for protecting big corporations from the screaming mass of consumers, I'm for protecting the little guy from big corporations. Look at the trends: Piracy has been going up, the price of expensive production equipment has been dropping. Soon no one will make money off of art, and finally the power to record music and shoot movies won't be in the hands of leaches. Finally people will create purely for the sake of sharing their creation. Yes it's unfortunate that people won't be able to live off their art, but somehow this isn't so horribly upsetting when you consider that the best music comes from people who aren't drenched in celebrity, and the best movies come from independant film-makers.
As a token of my belief in the future of these industries, I hereby release all the available recorded works of my band, The Vaudeville Act, into the public domain.
How about: I think it's perfectly fine and all that you can get spyware on your computer simply by visiting certain webpages under default settings - really it's the users responsibility to deal with that.
That's what Sony thought - but they found it's just not as good as a regular video card is. That's why the PS3 has an nvidia chip instead of a second Cell, as they originally planned.
Godwin's law can not be invoked if the poster is drawing an actually relevant comparison. The idea of Godwin's law is useful to combat those who compare the other party to Hitler or the Nazis without a valid point, but harmful when people use it to say they've won against arguments that make sense. It's like saying "Since you've got nothing else left to say but tell me I'm Hitler, you've lost." This is a world away from "Even though there are actual similarities between the (Chinese) Boy Scouts orginization and the Hitler Youth, you've lost because you mentioned Hitler."
That would be odd, considering that in a technically sense Starship Titanic is part of the Hitchhiker's (book medium) Universe because it was originally thought up in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (it might have appeared in one of the radio series - however, I don't recall). Also, he's dead.
Very Helleresque, except more jokes and less social commentary. It's more subtle, as the subject matter (everyday life in the universe as extrapolated from earth) is less somber than, well, World War II. These books are tied for my favorite books of all time.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but it seems like they might have something here (in a bad way).
Hashing on all modern P2P networks occurs in small chunks while downloading (for obvious reasons). But where does the comparitive hash come from? From the other client? In Bit-torrent it is easily possible that the correct hashes originate in the.torrent (forgive me if I'm wrong about that - I admit I know little of BT's inner workings. It seems doubtful though, as larger files would = larger.torrent's), but other networks don't have this comfort. It could be that the faked file is also feeding out faked hashes - hashing in P2P seems to me to be protecting from data corrupted over the transfer, not from bogus files. If my assumptions are correct (and I hope they aren't), then Viralg could fairly easily make false files without cracking MD5 or SHA (which as we all know is impossible, or improbable, or not marketable).
Again, this is only true if my understanding of P2P hashing is correct, which it probably isn't.
But maybe someone will do a WINE-like thing. But OS X on Xbox 360 is unlikely, given the unsuccessful attempts to boot windows on the Xbox (Microsoft probably has some tricks that go beyond the BIOS, which can be replaced with a mod chip.)
Karey Kirkpatrick is billed as the screenwriter for the the film. He wrote directly from Adam's drafts and the books (no tv series scripts/radio series), he says.
Yes but emulation is simply too slow to run games at anywhere near 100% native speed (have you ever used VirtualPC? 3d support is literally non-existant). Also, the PS2 and PS1 are both MIPS architectures, so there is no emulation. Sony is adding a MIPS trio to the PS3 for back compatibility with both older systems. As well, Microsoft made the announcement a while ago that the next-gen Xbox will have a variant which runs Windows, and all Windows apps. This points to either a)G5 myths are an elaborate hoax, b)Microsoft is including an x86 processor in the Xbox 360, or c)Microsoft has an extremely innovative emulating tool up their sleeves, the likes of which has never been reckoned.
But being unhappy with rules is not a license to break them.
Ghandi, anyone?
If you don't like DRM, don't buy music from stores that use DRM. If you don't like music promoted by marketers, buy music from independent labels.
Where is a store that sells non-DRM'd music that doesn't stand on shaky legal ground? I certainly don't know of one.
Piracy is going to be around as long as it is possible (physically, not legally). However, making music as easily available as it is on p2p networks, and at a reasonable price, will certainly slow it down. I'm not saying piracy is necessarily the most productive or moral method, merely that it is a natural and logical outgrowth of a broken system.

That was in the online store. The 1.8 GHZ has been available at Apple retail stores pretty consistently.
Not to advertise or anything, but eMusic has unprotected mp3's for download. It's mostly indie artists, but they have a sizeable collection.
Not my fault about the site - sorry. Maybe you should use Firefox. If you are using Firefox then I have no idea what you're talking about.

Except that electronic voters usually vote for George W. Bush, so neither your nor the grandparents jokes actually work :P
Yes. I'm 15 and I've read it twice in the past two years. In school this year we read Animal Farm, and 1984 was mentioned a lot as a comparitive text.
What Yossarian didn't understand, what no one understood, was how Milo could buy eggs in Malta for 7 cents, and sell them - at a profit - for 5 cents.

Yes but Toshiba seems to be thinking of distributing it, given the way that the article describes the OS. So it will in fact become relevant soon.

Shh... if they hear you, they might make a Klingon math book, far worse than Hamlet in Klingon was.

Additionally, it appears to be a (now defunct) iMac G4. Does SuSe even run on PPC?

The summary is wrong - these are NOT 64 bit processors.

We think "What pop-up blocker?", but not at first.
The first thing we think is "I hate the whole fucking human race."
WHOOSH!
What?
Just in general, to your whole post. I really can't figure it out. Is it supposed to be funny (rpm's for gentoo, star trek not nerdy) or....?
Huh?
And in 2215 things look about the same.
