"I've let both my Senate and House reps know that 1) I vote, contribute $$$, and 2) This issue is important to me and 3) I have influence on my voting friends on technical issues and 4) I will be very unhappy if they fail to represent my interests.

So what happends if they make a licencs that says.
"This license is the same as BSD, but Microsoft cant use it."
I think that would sort a lot of this out.

So shoot enough of these in an angry crowd, and now you have a crowd that's (A) angrier, since you just shot at them, (B) manic enough to do dumber things than normally, and (C) a lot less sensitive to pain. Just so, you know, they won't be as deterred by further rubber bullets or tear gas or a police batton. It sounds to me like just what you need to turn some unruly demonstrators into an outright riot. Or an outright riot into hell broken loose.
Yeah they might even do something dumb enough for the cops to become the army.
Nothing is more important than the safety of the amerikan people.
So how long do these macrophages take to get into your system?
What if someone got pricked with a HIV infected needle, then had a whole blood transfusion, would it clean you out before the macrophages take hold ?
Just curious.
"Peak limiting, also called Dynamic Range Compression. If you know what this is, then you understand why CD sales have been dropping."
Yeah for years and years i didn't know what it was about pop I didn't like. I have downloaded music illegally, but when i find a song i like what am i to do ? buying the CD doesn't help....
One artist a tracked down through myspace, and to get a clean version i had to order a record, as in vinyl. The artist couldn't even find a CD that wasn't messed up to send to me.
For me, it has nothing to do with copyright, just getting a "clean" version. This I will and have paid for with actual $$$.
"Keep in mind, in civil cases (such as this one), there are many hurdles in obtaining a judgment in correlation with the RICO act. Point being, it's not that easy. The RIAA is more concerned with their technique for accusing people remaining legally sound than being pummeled with a RICO civil case."
Agreed, for RICO you need to prove the RIAA broke the law a bunch of times, on a small scale. They don't break laws, just abuse them.
Kind of like buying the American politicians isn't illegal. Bribing them would be though...
The question that seems to be on everyone's mind about Bungie and Halo 3 is "What the hell have they been doing for the past three years?"
They didn't really do anything to the networking code. Same 16 player matches and the rumored dedicated servers turned out to be not true.
They didn't really do much in the way of graphics. Beta, multiplayer, blah,blah,blah...But the game looks very, very dated compared to what else is out there right now.
Is this one of those quantum dupe things where people complain before the product comes out ?
"We notify them that continued sale would be a violation of civil and criminal codes. If they'd like to voluntarily turn the product over to us, we'll destroy it, and we agree we won't sue," he explained.
Isn't all this copyright jazz only civil over in the US ? And is it really normal to be sued as the punishment for a crime ?
And what if ya don't give it to them they will sue your for... not giving the copyright material ?
The pink incident sheets and photos that Langley's teams take of vendors are meant to establish a paper trail, particularly for repeat offenders.
Isn't collecting info about people like this only for the law enforcement ?
"The process of confiscating bootleg CDs from street vendors is exactly what the RIAA should be doing," said Jason Schultz, a staff attorney for the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
Isn't enforcing laws reserved for the police department ? I was sure.
"We want to be very clear who we are and what we're doing," says John Langley, Western regional coordinator for the RIAA Anti-Piracy Unit. "First and foremost, we're professionals."
The Internet tells me; Professional, Being paid to do an activity as the significant portion of one's income. Yeah I'm sure they are being paid.
"They tried to scare me," Borrayo said. "They told me, 'You're a pirate!' I said, 'C'mon, guys, pirates are all at sea. I just work in a parking lot.' "
No no no.
The Flood washed everything around, well 'sept of those bones, they kinda stayed together, but moved around.
So yeah your "science" doesn't work when applied to The Flood, noob.
This museum does not reflect the beliefs of all young earth creationists! It actually makes the absurd suggestion that Dinosaurs were allowed on Noah's Ark. If that were true, there would still be Dinosaurs today! Not to mention, it goes against the bible which clearly states that only 2 of every land vertibrate were allowed on the ark.
This museum was built by godless atheists who want to profit from true believers!
