Than again, IF the contract is stalled out too long (like any contract between boss and employee), the boss (RIAA in this case) can walk away. Since the world is in a downturn right now, it is a Manager/boss's market. Yes, There should be some negotiation between the two but should not be stalled to long (IE American Football lockout negotiations right now).
there is a difference between a nigger and a black person. A nigger is someone of ignorance which overwhelms logic. A black person is a person of dark completion, typically from African decent. I have seen many, many, White Niggers, society (of the US and maybe other countries) call them Whiggers, but it is still the same.
A Nigger Moment is when "ignorance overwhelming the logic of an otherwise rational man."
Though the physical price (via currency aka Dollar Bill, Euro, Yen, etc) may not be used as much, but the concept of physical and mental cost is still there.
Just because you don't pay in one way, you will still pay in another way. It is called equivalent exchange. you pay one way or another, but you will still pay.
i am not for sure, but I believe that the following is happening here
company A Sues Company B for a Wiki edit.
The edit was erasing company A's name from wikipedia.
Company B's IP range was tied to the edit.
Company A and Company B are both in competition with eachother.
It is like Pepsi soda erasing Coke soda's wiki Entry and Coke suing for internet defacing.
mmm exposed nipples... the uproar only causes more people to pay attention. if we can get the society as a whole to ignore the "wardrobe malfunction", it wouldn't be so popular.
I grew up in a catholic (religiously) and conservative (politically) house and always wondered why my parents (mainly my father) was so repressed over sex AND violence (in that order). He didn't want to talk about it, hear about it, or address the issues. Heck, just saying that it was a catholic or even a conservative (politically) house should tell you that homosexuality stants I had to listen to. (hearing the words "Homosexuality is wrong... Sex is wrong... Violence is wrong... blah blah blah blah..." like Stan Smith from American Dad would say in his tone).
I am no screaming liberal, but I find nothing wrong with any sexuality, any violence (in movies, games, etc). Sure, there is a time and place for each, but why should we shelter the world of what is in our nature? Granted, I am not going to show a four year old some sex or graphically violent scenes, but if the child is 10, 11, 12, etc, he/she should understand what is out there and that it happens and what the outcome of such actions are.
I just find it to be a terrible thing to deny people of information about their bodily functions and desires. We must inform our children of what to expect and how to control our urges into appropriate responses (ie: don't have sex with kids, but have it with consenting adults in an appropriate place and time, and don't go killing, yadda, yadda, yadda. )
Later that year I went in to check out laptops (to window shop and gather information), a guy who actually got the job that I was denied, he tried to upsell me from a 400 pc that i was looking at (which I didn't have much to spend, probably more closer to 600 or 700 max on my budget), the guy tried to sell me a 1100 usd pc which had all the bells and whistles anyone could ever want or need. and than proceeded to tell me that "His friend, who is a complete computer wiz said that laptops are completely spring loaded and would explode at you if you open it up (ram or hard drive or anything like that). I looked at him and thought of the Simpsons "Homer's spring loaded First Aid Kit". He quickly lost my sale because the concept was a load of crap but had some basis to it. yes, there are some spring loaded but it would not explode at you if you open it up and know what you are doing.
Even though this went against my nature, I decided to get a Dell laptop instead of buying from Best Buy due to the lack of compentancy (sp?) of that one sales clerk. Now, the only reason I will buy from best buy is if I want the product now (dvd's and blu ray dvds, cd's, video games) where I don't have to talk to employees. Than go to Fry's (Sams Club like store to Best Buy's walmart like store) for certain things that are cheaper and easier to find there. (RAM, HDD, Enclosures, etc). The staff at Frys are more friendly and typically are easier to talk to.
when I applied for best buy, the manager flat out told me that I (2 years into my bs degree in Computer Science at the time of interview) was too smart for the majority of the store but too dumb for Geek Squad. I looked at him and wondered, WTF are the requirements to be employed here if a techie in college is too smart yet too dumb at the same time?
I have seen a few machines in which have been hacked to play dvd's and the machine is still working today. Only when the dvd playability has been abused (constantly running on DVD mode - non stop for days) has it really burnt out on it. Than again, how many really have the time to constantly play dvds only on a game console and at that, why spend 200+ for the use of a regular dvd player?
it reminds me when Nintendo released an update to Wii to get rid of Homebrew app (in version 4.1 or 4.2), but it (the homebrew) was changed enough to not be noticed within a week.

that is why it was fitting as a response to the parent comment.
Oh! It's on... like Donkey Kong!

I am not sure if you're trolling or just an idiot... http://forum.i3d.net/attachments/offtopic-english/943227833d1305709183-english-spam-thread-not-sure-if-troll-just-very-stupid-28n1299498207760-29.jpg
*Looks @ broken glasses* We can Repair them... We have the technology, but.... we don't wanna spend alot of money.

or have no knowledge of computers or technology at all which hints the NewEgg commercial.

Mythbusters are on the case!
