About the ads: one of them, for example, had a teacher in class showing to the classroom a picture of a Dog, and asking how it was called. One kid answered "El perro!" (dog in spanish), and the teacher corrected him "El Gos, el Gos. Molt bè!", maybe I'm looking too much on it, but I think that implies that talking in spanish is incorrect.:-/
That implies both languages are official. Spanish and Catalonian are (if law is followed) strictly equal. If you know someone is going against art. 3 of the Constitution, go to a Court and fill a case against this crime. And is just as criminal to go against Spanish as going against Catalonian where they are both official.
And about the ad hominem: I'm not saying the happy family (PP + COPE + El Mundo) doesn't says some things that are true. But about this particular case, is difficult to find something not forged. And is a real shame, because I'd like to have a real right party, but right doesn't mean to get closer to extreme right. And the same could be said about the left parties (I don't put PSOE amongst them. They aren't there) when they get radical. I want a country were you don't have to say you vote some party without looking around searching possible 'angry looks'. And today, voting PP is looking for them. Not because the people that votes them aren't good people (some close familiars of mine vote them), but because their party's leaders behave like kids when they don't need it to erode the PSOE. Zapatero is doing enough things wrong (p.e. LPI, RTVE,...), so the PP doesn't need to imagine new ones that can backfire. Can't Rajoy use the Salamanca papers much better than what he did? Why not say if this papers go there we want Zaragoza's art that's in Barcelona to go back to Zaragoza. And the same with the Bous from Majorca? This way they could be seen by all as a party that defends the whole people, not the party that only wants a fight whenever and wherever with the Government. But now they don't want to stop this fight that it's over (politically) throwing more shit with the 11M. It's their way, but I think they are wrong. A shame.
Oh, and cleaning Terra Mitica could help too.
P.S.: I'm sorry for the tone of the other post. But I'm tired of this stupid political fight we have in Spain.
So if you can have only TWO languages (left channel - right channel) and the original is in Japanese and the language you use is Catalonian, where should Spanish go? Is there a "middle channel" nobody hears but you? And about refueling the Civil War, what does someone you know when insults every polititian that doesn't want to send to jail all comunists, socialists, nacionalists, and even insults an ex-president that is ill (alzheimer)? Is this a way to let memories rest?
You have to read something more than El Mundo and hear something more than Cadena COPE.
And I think separatism is stupid right now. Just like fascist painted in 'neoliberalism', the one those you hear and read spit over Spain, a country I love for its diversity, for its culture and for its freedom. Freedom that only two groups seem to be right now threatening: ETA, with physical terrorism and your 'comrades': PP + El Mundo + Cadena COPE, with psicological terrorism. And don't tell me these aren't your 'comrades' because what you say is exactly what they say (specialy COPE).
Something like a "scattered load" where only the part that fits in memory is loaded and if there is a jump to a position outside the "slice" loaded, another "slice" is loaded?
Not necessary. With a law saying "being an ISP means covering X% including not-citizen areas" and ISP will put the lines, maybe with different "products".
Then "option B": MS wants to push it's own format, so they say "Evil Adobe is going to sue us, poor Microsoft, if we use PDF so we have this new and shiny format that does the same".
What is not normal is Vista asking do you want to scalate permissions so I can destroy your whole system (yes/no)?. If you don't have permissions to do something you are not allowed, period. If you want to do it anyway, enter as the user that has the required permissions and do it. And if root/administrator/god/... wants you to have a file in your desktop as a read-only item you can't send it to the recycle bin.
PS: "uh" is a rhetoric figure. I'm sure you knew that.
With "no, thanks" I mean "no, thanks. If you want it do it on your own, not in my name", not "no, thanks, you are not allowed to put it in your program".
If Adobe puts its name in a faulty PDF filter made by MS, MS can say "look, Adobe backs this". Just as MS did with Java, telling everybody "our Java is standard Java. Only that it has to be treated different to 'work better'."
Microsoft Corp. said it expected Adobe Systems Inc. to file an antitrust suit in Europe
"If you don't say hello to me I expect you to try to kill me":P
What Adobe MIGHT be doing is saying no to another J++. MS isn't a "good player" when it comes to standards. They (usually) screw them and then say "no, it's not our fault. It's the former format that doesn't include this beautiful things we do". And I don't know the rest, but I don't want a MS-PDF. I want a PDF, period. If MS wants another format, is up to them to do it. No problem. But I don't trust MS in following a standard.
And all this doesn't have to mean an antitrust suit. Just a "no, thank" from Adobe.
No, but if you live under a totalitarian gobernment you are more willing to be under another totalitarian gobernment. It's harder to move the masses to a "socialist" totalitarian from a democracy, where they, more or less, have rights, than from another totalitariam gobernment that treats them like scum ("you will be free and goods will be yours too" and all this).
And I'm asking if there has been some democracy overthrown by (so called) socialists. It's to "gain knowledge":)
What you are actually referring to is "Healthcare paid for by involuntary contributions, taken by force, known colloquially as taxes"
What I read there is "I don't want to pay your healthcare. Pay it yourself or fuck you". But what if "I" is someone else and "your healthcare" is yours? What if I cannot pay an insurance because I have to pay more than half of my salary to the renter of my home?
I'm sorry if I made you think I was trolling. I was making the "strange" assumption that what happened with the PS1 (very easy to pirate with a chip and ANY CD cloning program) and the PS2 (chip and program again) will happen too with the PS3. And if Windows (maybe "the PS pirate's platform") doesn't support BR, as it's a direct competition to HD-DVD, there won't be so easy to make backups.
About Mac OS, I say "if there was no DRM" but Mac OS is the number one target for DRM (thanks to iTMS and other "nice things").
So a POSSIBLE scenario can be the one I'm saying:
- MS not offering direct BR support (making Joe Six-pack use the brain and browse for the unofficial support)
- Linux not supporting DRM (no DRM coping or even reading)
- Mac OS with full DRM support (you have to battle against anti-copy protection)
This leads to very hard to copy BRs. And PS1 and PS2 sold/is selling many units thanks to piracy. This means a lot less units sold.
And I'm not saying this only happens with PS. Dreamcast started to sell when there were pirated games. And DVDs began to sell (well) when DVDR came to the market. It is common to all new formats/media.
P.S.: And I don't have a crystal ball to tell you the future. It's only thinking that what happened before can happen again with the next model of the same thing.

Who tells you there's a Government involved? This should be readed this way:
The money is they redistributed by the SGAE* to registered copyright owners
*Sociedad General de Autores y Editores (General Society of Authors and Editors) = vertical trade union
Matasano??? I would not let them treat me (matasanos = quack [4, noun] in Spanish)

Who was it that attacked that church in Ireland? Oh, yeah - a bunch of christian terrorists. :P (Luckily it's in the past)
Jerusalem is a sacred city for ALL muslims too. Thinking any muslim wants to drop a nuke in Jerusalem is like thinking a christian wants to do it.
playing cards -> you can play with them ;)
love hotel -> you can play in it
Can't you play your PSX discs with ePSXe? I thought you could

I mean a "socialist" dictatorship that overthrew a democracy. I don't know any.
Maybe you can tell me which "socialist" dictatorship wasn't preceded by another different dictatorship.
What you are actually referring to is "Healthcare paid for by involuntary contributions, taken by force, known colloquially as taxes"

And there are better places to cut expenses.
How many months do you have to work to buy a (p.e.) citroën C2? I mean using all the money to buy it.
Yes, you are so right. If you can't afford to pay you deserve to die, isn't it?
Let's take this further: if you can't afford to pay for your defense against killers you deserve to die too. And the same with foreign armies. And...
Maybe you could expect him to be a good president the first time, but the second????
Are you refering to the 2001 movie?
