In a nutshell, you get forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
Not to mention the 100-foot-tall stay-puft marshmallow man.
Thus, Microsoft I guess has some legitimacy in using the word Genuine.
Yeah, I think this guy is using an outdated version of the word. Like when people use the word "ask" instead of "ax", or "Christmas" instead of "X-Mas".
Amid a slew of incidents involving exploding Sony batteries, Virgin Atlantic announced that it won't allow passengers to use batteries in any Apple or Dell laptops on flights.
That shouldn't be a problem for people with Apple machines. I hear those are capable of running solely on one's own sense of self-superiority.
You can't cobble all the songs from the album. You can only get the X songs that the band put on their website because you can only upload music from the band's myspace.
Well, then that's even stupider, when you compare it to thepiratebay. And more proof that Universal's whole "Myspace = piracy" thing is a red herring.
Yeah. Cuz hackers NEVER take time out of their day to go after free music, and large, public web sites.
Look at it this way: it's a lot easier to download an album from ThePirateBay, than it is to comb through dozens of Myspace pages trying to cobble together all the songs from the album using this tool.
It's all about the laziest route to information... and this tool "ain't it". That fact, and its timeliness in relation to the Universal Music announcement makes it suspicious.
Any crusade against MySpace is a worthy cause, in my oh-so-pretentious opinion.
I dislike Myspace as much as the next guy, but Universal is just playing dirty. I mean, just days after they threaten to file suit against Youtube and Myspace, a piracy tool written to exploit myspace just happens to appear on the internet.
give me a break. It's pretty clear that a) MySpace and Universal have been in contract negotiations, b) those negotiations have broken down over fee structure, and c) Universal is doing its hardest to set precedent so that if MySpace doesn't come over to their side of the table, they can sue MySpace for as much money as possible.
The phrase 'time is money' is linguistic shorthand to indicate that, within a given discrete context, time and money are so closely linked that it is convenient to regard them as equivalent.
Clearly, you understand the concept. So what's the problem?
I've gone through several Windows machines this decade, but the Mac I bought my wife in 2000 is still kicking, and still quite useful. The difference is in the software.
I'm not sure what kind of mac you're talking about, but if you bought it in 2000, it certainly can't be useful for anything more than email, considering that OS X ran miserably on existing hardware when officially released in 2001. (And if your wife is running OS 9, then your comparison is even more ridiculous and irrelevant.)
Because it's the exact same attitude; specifically, that a local government can control what companies operated legally in other countries do on the internet.
Here's an idea: If a specific country doesn't like what companies in other countries are doing on the internet, they're perfectly free to CUT THEMSELVES OFF FROM THE INTERNET.

What happens if you give Escher this thing?

This is just like popurls.com, only not as good.
I run only Ginuwine Microsoft Windows.
Of course, as was predicted by Nastradamus
Thus, Microsoft I guess has some legitimacy in using the word Genuine.
Yeah, I think this guy is using an outdated version of the word. Like when people use the word "ask" instead of "ax", or "Christmas" instead of "X-Mas".
If that bothers him, it sounds like he would have a field day with "Ginuwine". And shortly after, "Ludacris".

And don't forget Pirate Laws: The canonical list of rules for pirate behavior.
Pirate Law #11: "No pirate shall ever wear a "fanny pack."

I have no doubt this project was funded, in whole or in part, by Universal Music group to support their BS crusade against MySpace and YouTube.
we are but one step closer to the fearsome reign of Robot Nixon.
See how their lists compare to yours
My #1 favorite game is "hide the sausage". Wonder why they didn't list that one.
Finally, Wii will also make it possible to browse the web on your television.
Cool, because you know, that wasn't *possible* before.
BlueCup writes to tell us that one reporter decided to give anonymous web surfing a shot, and found it to be much more trouble than it was worth.
I'm sure Pete Townshend would disagree with that statement.

Digital Identities Now Available
Excellent! Because, you know, regular identity theft was just becoming boring.
I've gone through several Windows machines this decade, but the Mac I bought my wife in 2000 is still kicking, and still quite useful. The difference is in the software.

Microsoft is apparently stepping up its anti-piracy measures by publishing the locations and specifics of their pending lawsuits.
Wow, a whole 73 lawsuits. In a nation of 260 million people. That tremble in the force you feel is the pirates quaking in their boots.
Travelpost has a new guide to Wi-Fi in 141 airports
Only 141? I could have sworn that Apple had sold more wireless basestations than *that*.
do you disagree that time and money are often the same thing?
Sun has thrown some corporate weight behind Ruby
Good thing, because that Oswald guy was starting to get on my nerves.
That's kinda weird.
in the modern economy, information and money are often the same thing. it's not weird at all. (and also why insider trading is illegal, for example)
How is that related to China sensoring? (sic)
Because it's the exact same attitude; specifically, that a local government can control what companies operated legally in other countries do on the internet.
Here's an idea: If a specific country doesn't like what companies in other countries are doing on the internet, they're perfectly free to CUT THEMSELVES OFF FROM THE INTERNET.
before the outrage ensues, let me just point out that this is the exact same sort of thing that the United States Government is doing with regards to the internet.
