A CD isn't as convenient. This used to be offset by the restrictions and vendor lock-in involved with DRM, but at least for these songs that is no longer an issue.
I didn't deny evolution.
Or perhaps you don't believe in reality? Might I ask, is that necessary for science? Because if so, it sort of contradicts what you've said.
I believe speedometers, because I live in a society where that belief is universally accepted.
understand the principles Meaning you believe what others say, to the point you classify their words as "principles".
If you don't believe laser measuring equipment works as it does, then you must not believe that modern technology even exists! I do believe that. I believe it. And apparently you do too. But you said science doesn't require belief.
Yeah, my last comment was asinine. Then again, you said the same thing to me.
The scientific method produces measurable, testable results. Measurable how? What in the world makes you think your apparent measurements show you anything about reality? Because you have grown up with that as an universally accepted idea?
And yes, atoms have been seen using special equipment see this for example. Power rangers have been seen with special equipment, also. Ooh, but your special equipment is sciency and at MIT. And maybe you understand how it works based on what other people have told other people have told other people (ad nauseam) have told you.
Conflating belief in religion and "belief" in science is like conflating belief in religion and "belief" in proper methods of home repair. That there is a broken analogy. Science (working towards greater understanding) is very different from home repair (working towards a solution to a problem).
but your ignorance of what science is is appalling. I know what it is. You don't seem to.
No, it doesn't. With science, I can study the scientific method. With power rangers, I can watch the show.
I can read the research and reproduce the experiment. I can see for myself what the evidence is. First of all, there is no way of verifying that what you see indicates reality. There isn't really any reason to believe it is, except that most people do to some extent. Second of all, it is not possible for anyone to do all the experiments and gather all the evidence to indicate any complex theory is correct.
I can think about the evidence and come up with the same theories. Once you accept a lot about power rangers, the rest makes sense. Woohoo.
However, nothing I do or say will make God appear. Nothing you say or do will make bacteria become humans before your eyes.
Nothing I do or say will show me that the earth is truly 10,000 years old, or that man lived with the dinosaurs. Nothing you say or do will show you that the earth is billions of years old. Any evidence you can gather to that effect will be based on accepting a lot of what others have said.
The only source of information I have on Creationism is the bible, which was written by several people, many of whom had agendas, and has been translated and edited dozens of times before it came into my hands. There are more sources of scientific information, though I'm not sure what that proves, but they are also written by many people with agendas.
Doesn't that apply just as much to science, especially established scientific theories?
The only reason you believe in the central concepts of science, and established theories, is because you grew up among people that do. What makes you think observable evidence tells you anything about anything? Even beyond that, what makes you think there are atoms? Did you see one? Maybe you saw a picture? Cause I bet you saw a picture of the power rangers too.
There are many valid criticisms of Linux, but not being able to find an "old but stable" operating system is not really one of them. Have you looked at Debian? Its long release cycle seems appropriate for what you want. I believe Redhat's is similar.
A. They get Windows for a very low price (obviously not -$50, though). B. They get to install tons of demo software that makes them a lot of money. C. Most of the demand is for the Windows machines. The no operating system ones don't sell nearly as much and end up being less efficient as far as profit compared to the cost to make, ship, and store.
Although, it does seem stupid to even offer the one without the operating system.
EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN IN THIS COUNTRY does shitty things to gain power. They wouldn't be politicians if they didn't. What I don't get is, the scores of other politicians who voted for these damn things don't seem to get mentioned, but Hilary gets crucified for it. Again, I see a huge media bias against her and I don't get it. Perhaps, but it doesn't make it okay, and it doesn't mean one shouldn't try to avoid voting for those who do, as much as is possible. As to your second point, she is a prominent presidential candidate for the more liberal party.
The amendment would never have been ratified. The last amendment over an important issue was ratified over 30 years ago. The last amendment that restricted people's rights was over 80 years ago, and was repealed.
The law could have been passed, and relying on our supreme court to overturn it isn't the best thing in the world. It is also not really relevant to Clinton's record, unless you really believe it was her intention, in which case it reflects dishonesty and manipulativeness more than anything else.
Partisan political pandering to set herself up for a whitehouse bid. Idiotic, sure, but hardly a reason to hate the woman IMHO. So voting to ban a form of expression in order to gain power is not a reason to oppose a candidate? Are you serious?
There is definitely a market for intellectual goods without a government. Do you think people wouldn't want software, books, etc anymore? The government does not create that market. The difference is, it would be much harder to get paid for it. The same is true for any service. The concept of property belonging to who has it rather than who can take is is a very useful one, but it is still not some law of the universe. Someone has to enforce it.
This guy obviously couldn't sell the application, and he is blaming it on piracy. I tried Display Eater once, and it was not very good.
On the other hand, iShowU, is very good. It is the only utility for video screen capture on any platform I have found for a reasonable price ($20).
This type of thing must be somewhat difficult. There is no decent solution on Linux. There is a solution based on VNC, but it is incredibly difficult to use.
I actually bought iShowU so I could record something in Linux (in a VM in OS X).
What is this Windows utility you mentioned? I tried to find one a while back, but I eventually resorted to using Remote Desktop and recording in OS X.
SnapZProX is okay, but much too expensive. Its interface isn't as good as iShowU
I tried Display Eater a while ago, before this nonsense, and it wasn't very good. That's probably been a limiting factor in sales, which the developer interprets as piracy.
Just goes to show you, though, that the mac development (and user) community is mostly a bunch of idiots. Shareware is dead -- it's not 1993 anymore. No. This incident is only indicative of this one developer. And shareware is most certainly not dead. There is plenty of great shareware for OS X.
You realize that applies to everything, don't you? Without something (e.g., a government) to protect you, labor can forced from you without compensation, and any products can be stolen.

Once they take over the entire telecom industry by patenting "transmitting information electronically", they won't need commercials any longer.
Our laws (at least most of them) do apply to non-citizens in our country.
Huh. I was going to look into it, as I didn't know there was any good open source OCR software.
Good thing I decided to comment before reading the article.

She has cancer, not some made up disease to keep her from being punished.
The crime she committed hurt no one. It was wrong, but no one was hurt.
I'd say:
BSD: Liberté
GPL: Égalité, Liberté
Is there any way to be able to choose between them when logging in, like on RedHat?
It can on PowerPC. :D

Here are some alternatives:
iShowU is my favorite video screen capture tool.

No. I am saying that you need a government (or something acting as it) to get money for any products or services.
You realize that applies to everything, don't you? Without something (e.g., a government) to protect you, labor can forced from you without compensation, and any products can be stolen.
How do you avoid using regular expressions? What do you replace them with? And how can they be confused with binary?
