Let them come after me. In fact, I am waiting for them to. Just because you have a large download doesn't mean it is not legit. So what if I download said Lost episode to my PC, I own it. I am allowed to have a backup. Besides what you are saying in tracking usage is suppose to be illegal. I am tempted to start downloading BS songs so they will come after me. When they do, I will have a liscensed copy, shove it in their face and then sue for slander and wrongful accusation. Then they will be paying me. And no, if I do this I am not dumb enough to share it, so just bootle cap that lame come back. You have got to learn the system and use it. That is what they do. I would wager most of us on/. here are smart enough to work them over.
Right... P2P is going to break up. I want the shit their smokin'. P2P is as strong as ever be it in torrents, Kazaa\Limewire\EDonkey\EMule\etc., IRC, or the oldie but goodie Newsgroups. These people obviously don't know JACK. The hard people try and squeeze it off, the more people will find better ways to distribute material. Freedom of information and the exchange of it is what the Internet is based off of. Some people never learn
The reason the doctors' are suing is this: true, you do have free speech, but you have to be responsible with it. If you slander (I guess in this case it would be libel) someone, they have the right to sue you. You would need to have disclaimers galour on the web-sites and all sorts of legal rhetoric to protect your backside. Case in point is the site bestbuysux.org. He has been sued a couple of times and has had to reorganize content and post disclaimers.
As long as you act responsiblly and have your backside covered you're good. If you make you make everything look legit but it is really just a flame page because you don't like someone's bedside manner; well, someone with their career on the line may just come after you.
Amazing on how you can make money by sitting at a computer screen playing games and getting fat. Am I jealous... hell yeah. Cush job playing video games, at least athletes have to work out and stay in shape and pop roids(not all athletes pop roids, just the one that have biceps the size of my leg) I can go tell my parents they were wrong, I can too make money playing video games.
It would be intersting to do a study on the overall health condition of pro gamers vs. normal 9-5ers.
Pyschobable at its best. You clearly choose the extremists ends of both ends, which usually make up only about 10% at most, but the loudest 10%. To be rational you would see the difference, to be prejudice you only see everything as the same even though it is not. Overgeranlized statements are not rational but elitist.
I guess I should be amazed but to me its seems common sense. Imagne, an implant that you store data on and access any time you want. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it is inside your head. Now that will be the way to study. Download a few books, wait what am I saying... porn and away you go. Alot of people are scarried of the future but I say plug away; I'll be the first inline (no pun intended).
Have you wondered why China is pushing so hard for Space exploration? If I may interject this, they have realized that a Space Program is the fast lane to technology. Case in point, the USA Space Program. We have more than just Tang to thank the space program for. Most of the technolgy we have today is either a direct or indirect result from space exploration. Who likes football? Who likes the abilitiy to watch every football game if they want? That's right Direct TV's Sunday ticket. Hmmm... satellite TV, Howard Hughes, government funding of video and GPS projects in the 70's. That is just one and it is entertainment orientated. Advances in polymer science, computer science, minaturization; all these effect things from Ipod's, microwaves (especially microwaves), LCD technology, safety gear that firemen use to save lives. I think you see the picture.
it is really sad when people organize and work hard to help their fellow man, just to be stopped by bureaucracy. Obey should be helping the cause and not trying to put the kabosh on it. Maybe this why you don't see more people going out on a limb, because they think it will just get shot down?
It is a good thing you have no idea what you are talking about. Science is the study of the things of nature and if "God" created the Cosmos, then you should be able to find a "fingerprint" of a design. As the master himself said "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Einstein

Of course, if behavior is largely encoded, then the way I act is not my fault. I am wired this way. WOW, that is uhhh... let's just say your ability to lose is only superceded by your lack of ability to win.
I like how when you bring up scientific fact it becomes flamebait. Truly people do not wish to try to find the truth whatever it may be. It is clear we do not understand even a tenth of the universe, but people go around like we understand all but 5%.
The thing that hampers evolution is the defining the age for the universe at 13.7 billion years old. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/map_discover y_030211.html
All the sudden you do not have enough time for certain astronomical things to happen like white dwarfs, black holes, and what not. http://www.wheatonma.edu/Academic/AcademicDept/Ast ronomy/TBarker120/Feb14/ClassNotes.html
When our sun is having it's beginning around 10.3 billion years ago and the needed cycles to produce heavy elements to form planets like the Earth, evolution and Big Bang as people have postulated them, do not have enough time. You can clearly start to argue that things like intelligent life further along than us probably is false due to a time factor, not to mention the earth should not be possible because you have not had enough stars go supernova to create all the heavier elements required.
I remember growing up and people postulating that the universe was trillion of years old, like 2.4 trillion. We see that this was false, but that amount of time is necessary for Big Bang and evolution to work as postulated. The question is what is really true and what is the cosmology make-up? Evolution is not possible because the Earth should not exist, yet it does. I like how people love Einstein but seem to forget the words of wisdom he had.
No thats ok... we'll use your format. No... I insist, lets use yours. Right, are we capitailist or what. Somebody just needs to feel important be releasing the formentioned article. I love how they denote the general population as stupid,"which could confuse the public". Thanks, I've always known I was dumb!
Mac switching to Intel is not going to change a thing. The Mac OS upgrade to 10.4 is $129, XP home is only $99. Beside as of right now Apple is not planning to make OS X available on anything but an Apple PC(as stated by Apple in an article that was slashdotted when the switch was announced).
Another interesting thing to note was an article post on slashdot talking about security on Linux vs XP. The final conclusion, minus fanboy flame was that they are both pretty equal now. The constant barrage at XP has made it as secure as Linux. After all, when was the last time you heard people specifically developing viruses exploiting Linux's weaknesses.
All this said, the purpose is to try to limit piracy. MS knows it will always be there as does everyone in the software industry. Someone should tell that to the losers in the music and film industry.
-I'm right, your wrong... Just deal with it.
Can OS and commercial software coexist? The answer is obvious... yes! Like most of you I work for a corporation. I work IT and somebody always wants to save a buck. Some things take more time, ie. from Microsoft Office to Open Office, but there always seems to be a certain balance. What is important for those in IT to remember is that knowledge is power and you must inform people of an alternative.
I understand a need for screening individuals coming into and out of US borders. What has me on edge is that they keep getting closer to that imaginary line in the sand where they have to much info. Wait... they already do, people are just unaware of what I can find out about them for $20. I knew things were in the crapper when my bank started asking for my Driver's License when depositing my check and writing my License number on it. I threw a fit, like they don't already have enough info, now any lowlife employee has access to my DL#. Needless to say I am looking for a new bank. It is one thing to verify ID, it is another to write so anyone can use it. All they are doing is making the criminals job easier.
I am done ranting. I think a selective democracy is the way to go. You need at least an IQ of 125 to vote and 140 to run for office. We should be having the brightest not the left overs. Research who you vote for and let the people come up with their own Patriot Act.
Wow... a guy that sends spam gets the ultimate remove my name from your list. May seem a little harsh, but I doubt anyone is giving him much sympathy. It interesting that a society could despise something so much that when a human life is extinguished, they say good riddance.
The porblem with the death penalty is that it is hardly ever enforce, ergo there is no cited work on deterrent. You can not have a paper and have facts on something that is not happening, until you do research into Middle East Penal Codes. They do not have nearly the crime rate, but tend to have other problems with abusive executive branches.
The problem with most laws and penalties is a lack of enforcement across the board. Instead of enforcing current policy, somebody comes up with something more extreme, being reactionary instead of being proactive. This is a large issue in the US, where everything is someone elses fault and few will take responsibility for their actions.
The issue isn't really death penalty as a deterrant, but lack of ownership and enforcement.

If William Hung can put out cd's and make money on them... I can rule the world!!!
Bow to me! I own you!
