If you expand "Anonymous" to mean technically savvy individuals who share one or more cause in common with Anonymous who are willing to put forward work towards their own pet peeve, then yes they could be the most powerful group in the internet, with potential sleeper agents in every group in the world.
However that's like calling socially active citizens the most powerful group in any given country, any group active enough to destabilize the status quo is broken up and a silent majority dislikes the chosen tactics of the vocal minority fracturing it and leading fewer to join the larger cause.
But that's just my two cents
"There are always medications but studies have shown that if you treat your depression with drugs, you're likely to get depressed again sooner and the next depression is likely to be deeper... until the medicines don't have enough effect anymore."
You know some of us with actual mental illness really get our knickers in a twist when people start saying we don't need our medicines we just need to Try REALLLLLLLY hard and we'll get better.
If having a sucky life makes you depressed then you aren't mentally ill, you just have a sucky life, it's normal to be depressed then, heck if you are on the proper medication for chronic depression you should be depressed when your life sucks. If all you need is help, love, reassurance and planning to get out of your problem then more power to you. When you have a stable job, loving spouse, safe clean home and pleasant relations with your extended family and you sleep all day because you think if you get up you are liable to slit your wrists that is mental illness.
Anyway what you have and what I have are two very different diseases that happen to share a name, sometimes telling one from the other is difficult so everyone owes it to themselves to explore all the options for treatment. That being said don't call my drugs dangerous and ineffective and I won't call your therapy hippie bullcrap ok?
I really don't know where or what you are looking but most of the software on my Macs is just plain old beggar-ware, you know "If you find this helpful please consider donating" that sort of thing.
As I've transitioned to windows I find is hard to locate software with the glut of abandoned products that won't work on newer versions of windows.
I hope you proof your designs more thoroughly than you proof your posts.
In all seriousness though my uncle just sold his house after being laid off as a Silicon QA something or other after 20 years on the job because tax incentives were good enough in Asia to warrant moving all production there.
Or to put it another way, just because people need it doesn't mean they'll pay YOU to make it.
A standing militia of lawyers can and will pose more of an obstetrical to the U.S. Navy than all the guns you can squeeze onto an oil platform, I don't see a military raid being an option in any case.
With the number of objects being kept track of, +40 Dwarfs & +20 Goblins with Full clothing body parts and organ lists, Dwarf Fortress would Sodomize ANY single core computer sideways forget a phone all together.
TL;DR summing up
But the first patent '507 seems to be for "browsing audiovisual data" or a web browser
Patent '652 and '314 are patents for "Attention Manager for Occupying the Peripheral Attention of a Person in the Vicinity of a Display Device" or Advertisments.
Patent '682 is for "Alerting Users to Items of Current Interest." or Targeted Advertisements.
Yea you legally filed patents
No you can't patent advertising or web browsing
Sorry your claim is BS go back to your bridge you troll.
The Bible was copy protected, with a prejudice, by the Roman Catholic Church. Smashing printing presses and burning heretics at the steak were quite common ways of making sure only the Priestly caste had access to the Bible.
This is basic Church history learn it love it then leave it.
It's a stimulant, re-uptake inhibition has never been classified as a depressant action.
Also Ritalin works on dopamine not serotonin.
You may be thinking of SSRI anti-depressant drugs like Prozac or Celexa, though those are not depressants either.
There is a Flaw in your logic.
While there is an expected right to privacy I don't have the "Right" To parade areound nude in front of my window and sue people who see me, much the oposite I would get arrested for indecent exposure even if I am in my own "home". And To stretch the metaphor even more we are talking about a clothing designer who is selling Transparent shirts to large busted women and legislating that we "should not look" because it is "bad" rather than just using a fabric that actually protects privacy.
IMHO the current Manga market has less to do with "Old Hardcore Otaku" series and more to do with Men introducing their Girlfriends to things like "Cardcaptor Sakura" as a way to ease them into the truth about their Hentai stash.
After anime series like "Sailor Moon" and "Cardcaptor Sakura", both of which are based off of Manga, got market share the much lusted after and hitherto nearly non-existent female comic book market was open to conquest.
No let's start the most outragous rumor posible.
Like oh I don't know....
Steve is trying to disrupt the strangle hold Microsoft has on web standards (through Explorer)by buying Adobe and geting his hands on PDF and Flash and that also he is, in fact, planning on replacing the ActionScript language with AppleScript.
But you know some people might actually buy that line of Sh** so lets not use it
Katamari is an example to his point of innovation not being dependent on control scheme.
I have to differ with you on this point.
Let me ask you one thing.
Would Katamari be the same played on one D-Pad?
Katamari is one of a handfull of games to use the Right analog stick in any real or creative way. Sure there are some FPS / TPS games that use it but those are just a handfull compared to those that don't.
After my upbringing on the Macintosh and experiance with the legendary MUGS (Macintosh user groups) I thought that I could ask a question of a forum after Google-ing the problem checking the forum back-logs and reading some related Wiki.
Not really.
The process resulted in the one person who, after later reserch, posts any signifigant answers on the board refering me to an artical I had already read and insinuating that it was quite intuitive and that having problems / questions with my Samba setup constituted a deficancy on my part.
The interesting thing is that Mitsubishi has found a way for more than one person to interact with the table and be distinguished as such. It looks like they have found a way to distinguish your "Personal Ground" and measure the rate of drain on the grid from the diferent users.
The rest is really just old-hat that can be done with stock electronics from Digikey and a projector.
Not that I would know how to implement the HID drivers but the table top is just a grid of wires reporting X and Y through, what might as well be, stock IC's.
For those who want to know more look at the tech docs for these products http://www.qprox.com/products/index.php
Made A tv show?
The man is responsible for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" Movie and Tv Series a good, geeky, series in the beginning and at the wrap-up, I won't talk about the "popular" days.
"Angel" no comment since I'm not a Junior High School girl in love with David Boreanaz
and He also Co-Wrote on "Toy Story"!
Before you go and call something Shitty you might also want to consider what else the "Fox Network" has managed to kill off
It... Is... A... BUG...
The Slash Dot-ers added the monkey BS.
Bugs have no mind no spark no soul hell they don't even have a proper BRAIN. We, in America, spend billions of dollars annually to kill in the most gruesome and painful ways un-counted and un-countable numbers of insects and small mammals. imagine having a bar brought down on the back of your neck, snapping your spine crushing your windpipe, those last painful moments asphyxiating desperately trying to breath with lungs that won't move
We don't give a shit about their lives in your house but all of a sudden if you try to use their lives for science it's a crime...
I personally love the idea of a radio control rat. It sounds like hours of entertainment, fun for the family, great with kids, never wedges itself inside your couch, hardly ever goes berserk with rage.
So "Peer-Revew 2006 Internet Edition" is really just a re-skinned version of "Forum Troll '99" in a diferent box?
I think that genuine respect for others and the asumption that not everyone online is a troll or "punk kid" would do the entire net some good.
I agree. FPS games with head bob are the worst and after that new games.
I think it has to do with not having my eyes not "knowing what to expect"
Another thing for headaches is to bump up the refresh rate to over 72hz
The next thing is PRACTICE.
Take your time and learn how your input moves the screen, your sickness sounds like mine and after the first couple of days I am usually over the sickness.
If for some reason none of these are possible, I do a lot of LAN parties at a game center where the monitor prefs aren't available and I'm playing new games, Dramamine, Caffeine to kick the drowsiness from the Dram' and Aleve to kill the caffeine headache, is my drug cocktail of choice
No the problems with software patents don't entend to chemistry... there are an entirely diffrent set of problems.
Two words on chemical patents, "Big Pharma".
yea it only costs me $400+ a month to keep myself from climbing a water-tower with a rifle and a high power scope. No problem with patents none at all...
And If I sneek into your apartment and replace that ferite filter on your cable with a transmiter I can "sniff" all the "packets" I want.
Unless you live in a faraday cage your computer is brodcasting everything you do a good distance.
