  1. Re:I believe this to be the future of education on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, I'm sure in Socrates' day the kids were bringing a gun to school & blowing their classmates/teachers away because they just didn't like doing homework/were being bullied. I'm sure that kids in Socrates' day were doing drugs and sniffing glue. And what about the whole vandalism? Did Roman kids write 'Romanes eunt dommum' on the walls? (outside of 'The Life of Brian') Get real. The world is on a downward spiral, and only a firm hand with the kids is going to settle it. And no, I'm not going to AC. Flamebait or not, it needs to be said.

    Call me a card-carrying member of the tin-foil hat brigade, but i dont like the idea of some random person being able to log into their Im, and find me just because we're on the same network.

    number 2 is simple. Seller should always send by recorded post. Buyer has to sign for it, so you can prove they got it.

    Just a pity you have to fax that to ebay as proof, instead of scanning it in and emailing it.

  14. Re:Outstanding on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1
    I found a simple solution to iTunes DRM.

    1)Burn tracks to a CDRW thru iTunes.
    2)Rip in Nero Burning Rom/realplayer/WMP (if you really must)
    3)upload newly ripped files to standard MP3 player.
    4)erase CDRW.

    Not so hard, really.

    Also, click the link to one of these subscription pages. The site always asks me to pay before it lets me see the article, even though google sees the article and can quote me a snippet. Ergo, Google is not providing means to access copyrighted material illegally.
