What? TIM:
There he is! ARTHUR:
Where? TIM:
There! ARTHUR:
What, behind the rabbit? TIM:
It is the rabbit. ARTHUR:
You silly sod! TIM:
What? ARTHUR:
You got us all worked up! TIM:
Well, that's no ordinary rabbit! ARTHUR:
Ohh. TIM:
That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! ROBIN:
You tit! I soiled my armour I was so scared! TIM:
Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
"Hey, look at my new quantum USB drive" "Where is it?" "Oh, it instantly dissappears when you look in its direction, but trust me, its there" "Dude..." "Wait! Just look at the new drive letter in My Compute...DAMN I've been had."
What I see is you don't seem to understand what a military run government is. Please buy first plane ticket to Columbia or Equador and start expressing yourself in public against said government. Wait for inevitable results. Come back crawling after 5 years in prison. Write post to tell us how it was.
Let me tell you about the so called "sense of community" South American countries are purported to have. "Sense of Community" is another way of saying "Well, you see, the puppet government over here is run by a bunch of army generals ready to put tanks on the streets at the slightest sign of uprising. The economy is in shambles even though we have vast amounts of silver, uranium, gold and oil since no one is crazy enough to establish a firm that requires bribing 7 levels of bureaucrats and has a 50% chance of being nationalized by the government. Thats why all people not directly involved with the ruling Mafia are poor as fuck and tend to help each other out since they simply wouldn't survive any other way"
Armchair socialism is very nice until it is YOU who finds himself waiting 3 hours in line for a loaf of bread. No amount of Linux distro's is gonna change that. In the US all it took was a few exceptional men with a strong sense of the common secular good - individualism, freedom of speech, right to life and property, checks and balances. They could have drafted the constitution otherwise...no one would have stopped them, you know.
Day 1: Brought in suspects' computer. For the darndest reason it wouldn't turn on so Sgt. Morris and I went on a 2 hour coffee break. Upon return discovered that computer wasn't plugged in. It was getting late so stamped card and went home.
Day 2: Sgt. Morris (who is more experienced than me) put the cd we use for scanning into the suspect's computer but it wouldn't load, no matter what we did. Went on 1.5 hour coffee break. Returned and eventually found out CD was inserted in upside down. Was late so stamped card and went home.
Day 3: Managed to 'hack' into suspects' computer! Found suspect's 'dirty stuff' folder, and scanned it by hand for security reasons. After 4 hours was exhausted so called it a day and signed off early. (Note to self: Inquire about purchasing cat's outfit for Mrs. Winterton)
Day 4: Suspect seems to have had an affection for fight games (note to self: Add "psychotic tendencies" to suspects portfolio). Played some 'Mortale Kombatt' against Sgt. Morris, who managed to beat me numerous amount of times, adding insult to injury by 'finishing me' in several gruesome ways. Ate sandwich, stamped card and went home.
Day 5: Finally beat Morris at Mortal Kombat! Now we're getting somewhere!.......
Don't see why apple shouldn't let OSX out as a software only installer package for Intel/AMD.
Write up a few drivers for the major hardware vendors and let the hackers do their thing.
It'll only increase market share.
...because of all of this DRM, is a further devaluation of the RIAA / MPAA product. With all these restrictions comes a huge waste of time for consumers that want to enjoy a recorded medium in their own FREE time and not sit around reading a 300 page EULA.
The first record label to set up a low-cost, dedicated download service (not p2p) serving 96khz, 24 bit recordings at 150KB/s downstream with no DRM whatsoever will make a fortune.
I mean, why spend 3 days downloading a dubious 1 GB file over p2p when you can get the real thing for e.g. 1$ in a couple of hours? Just the electricity bill will cost you more.
In addition, copyright law needs to be changed so that once you buy a particular recording of a piece, you are entitled to that recording in any format it is , or will be available in, ever. The way I see it, the recording industry still owes us big-time for the transition from LP to Cassete to CD to MP3
This is exactly the same mentality that brought us the memory stick and the mp3 walkman who could not play mp3's, only ATRAC.
Incidentally, Sony profits are down 46% this quarter. I can only add that this is another nail in the coffin of a company once known for its innovation, high standards and uncanny understanding of the consumer's mind.
They better hope the Ps3 saves their collective asses
1. 40-60GB capability in the ipod mini format
2. 24h+ REAL battery life
3. FM Radio and transmitter built in
4. Wireless connectivity so I can use said iPOD as a remote control for itunes on my pc when I walk into the house (and of course sync wirelessly).
Other than that I adore the little bugger. Take it with me every day.
The video features IMHO are unecessary for 90% of users. This just follows the incredibly stupid trend of companies assuming consumers will pay good money to watch shows they can get for free on TV on a screen the size of a postage stamp.
