Not only that but it is contemptive court if the media are using the same kind of prejudice that is on this forum, but somehow I dont think the media will be punished for preventing any form of fair trial.
And before anyone attempts to flame with "terrorists dont deserve fair trials". May I just point out that everyone deserves a fair trial no matter what they are charged with, after all we want to defend freedom, not elimiate it.
Really, after a while I just got bored. After finishing a good bottle of wine I got 407ms on this (I am 24). So I reckon I have the high score. What does this prove? That my soundcard doesn't work or something.
Let me guess, the inventors of this test get very low scores so they must be geniuses.
Just imagine, 30 CD's - 30 different processes running in the background. It doesn't matter if they are 'bug free', you PC wouldn't be able to do anything anyway. Still, it does prevent you from using it to pirate those discs. So it might be some sort of "kill all cure".

TV shows should give the viewer whatever maximizes profits for the companies involved
Thankyou for your view on art, Mr Murdoch.

The viewers didn't shut down the shows I mentioned in the parent post, I believe that in all cases the writers/stars did. I do really hope that this will be different, because the last thing I want is for it to come back in a blaze of "not-being-as-good-as-it-was". Regardless of who pulled the plug, someone did and they should just leave it with everyone remembering it well.

Please dont do this, let it be for gods sake. Going back to shows (or films series) has never worked, yes I love Futurama, but once something has stopped, dont try necromancy. TV shows should *never* give the viewer what they want, Star Wars EPI-III anyone? The last two Red Dwarf series (bringing back Rimmer) were horrible. Niles and Daphne getting together was at the point when Frasier turned bad When will people learn from the example of Seinfeld, Fawlty Towers, the Office (the real one of course)? They all stopped before the viewers had started going. The moral of the story is -
You said almost exactly what I was going to say. We have seen for years that at least the former industry you mention (and I mean the security industry not the police as such) have exaggerated claims to create paranoia in order to sell services. Even if M$ sorts out vista, you will still see 'studies', 'research' and news stories about the dangers of the net and of your computer. It wasn't long ago that Symantec claimed that MacOS was more of a risk than Windows.
IMHO spyware isn't just a problem with the way the OS is built, it is as much, if not more, a problem with the people using the system. Microsoft can't take all the blame for spyware, stupid users and good social enginering are as much at fault. In the same way that the price of AIDS drugs companies demand can't be blamed entirely for people dying from AIDS when unprotected sex and religious belief ensure the easy propagation of the virus.
Symantec and McAfee wont be going anywhere for a while, but their share price might drop for a bit.
That's good thanks, but is the request/demand by government limited to only US servers and US computers or to all of Google's empire? What I mean is can a government in one country get access to information held by a company that is collected and generated by customers in different country?
And I thought I was the only one. I only got half way through NWN as it just didn't grab me like BG2 did. There wasn't anything in NWN like the moment in BG2 when you first turn into the 'Reaper' (I think it was called) and just have to get the rest of your party to leg it. Also in proper roleplaying fashion you could be as kind or nasty as you want in the dialogue, some of the replies you could say were hilarious.
And as for my fav quest, it would have to be the 'Cult of the Eye', beholders are cool.
What I want to know is - Is there anyway that the government can use this and will get information (ie search requests) that is formed by people in countries other than the US. i.e. not just getting info on its own citizens but on those from abroad simply because they may have used Google.com as opposed to Google.fr
It would clearly mess up the stats for the research wouldn't it.
I think that the UK does have a military involvement in the development of the JSF, rolls-royce engines and such. And for the UK the JSF will be primarily for aircraft carrier launch. I dont think that the Eurofighter Typhoon is/was intended for this.
For this to be effective they will need access to the source code. Otherwise they are stuck with whatever options we Americans give them.
Let me add that it is also good forward thinking to have the manuals for the £12b fighers you are getting, 1. To ensure that the code is up to scratch on the £12b of taxpayers money you are spending. 2. Also when in 30+ years of the fighers life you could go through many different maintenance contracts. The software owners could 'have you over a barrel' if they are the only people able to fix your planes.
It would be reckless for any government (in this case mine) to spend this much on something Lord Drayson can't even guarantee will be servicable and fit to fly. After all it wouldn't be the first US built military aircraft to get grounded.
I guess the whole idea of missilies, fighter jets etc have become moot hasn't it.
My guess is, that isn't the marketing line Lockheed Martin, Boeing and BAE Systems are going for right now. These big deals are as much to do with employment as they are, defence.
Because google lives in America and it is governed by their rules
Who gives a shit where google 'lives'? the search was done on google.co.uk from (I am assuming) the UK, it should only be obliged to submit to UK laws in that instance, in the same way it feels subject to Chinese laws with their.cn sites. It seems that google wants to comply with the US DMCA even when it doesn't have to.
That is an editorial decision, I am honestly not sure if that is censorship or not.
The parent comment might have had facetious motives and been modded up as funny, but it is dammingly insightful. This and crazy DRM are Hollywoods best answers for dropping audience figures.
Like Kawolski I haven't ever heard of anyone saying "I would go to the cinema more if the picture quality was better"
under Democratic rule . . . the world at large didn't hate us
uuuummmmm....
Or perhaps you just weren't aware of how much everyone hated you.
To be fair, here in the UK (which has always had a love/hate thing with the US) the only real difference between Clinton's time and Bush's, in terms of our affinity of the US. Is that IMHO the world at least respected the the fact that Slick Willy was intelligent and educated, on the other hand the world is still amazed that a moron like Bush can get anywhere near any seat of power. And these men after all are/were the figureheads of the US.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of this, because all I did was (stupidly) upgrade the quicktime with the page it brought up. I (naively) assumed this was the most basic quicktime available. Next time I will grab your version.
Oddly enough, I recently downloaded the new version of Quicktime and was annoyed when I found I got iTunes as well (being as I don't have an iPod), I think I have had to uninstall iTunes twice now on my PC, I didn't ask to install it once.
Lets all sit back and watch the RIAA go up against Apple, after all the only reason they have been so successful in litigation at all, is because they threaten massive ($5k+) lawsuits against those who cant afford legal defense. I am guessing Apple on the other hand CAN afford some pretty decent lawyers and due to the number of iPods (you just have to walk through a town) they have a public sympathetic to them. Imagine the outcry when everyone is told that they cant rip their CDs to their iPod. I know people use iTunes for downloading but I am guessing most iPODs are full of their owners CD collection. Especially those of the older, less download happy citizen. The RIAA may have public support for its attack on piracy (of course, it may not) but it wont if it goes after clearly legal and popular practices. Such practices which are popular across all the demographics.
But there does seem to be another irony here. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Sony BMG one of the bigger companies behind the RIAA and isn't Sony Electronics one of the bigger MP3 player makers. Perhaps they dont realise they are suing themselves.
I cant help but think this looks like the kind of crazy thing a dictator who is losing control would attempt.
