jury nullification---its a good thing BTW the last time I was being questioned for service on a jury I asked the judge about it and I was dismissed and thanked for my time. I have yet to be called for jury duty again.
Exactly, I am waiting to ditch my IPhone TODAY! Why? I love the phone but ATT is the biggest joke I have seen, it is unusable! Just yesterday I got a text from my daughter about bringing home pizza for dinner, 2 weeks ago!! This is not unusual for my ATT "service" dropped calls "no network" are a daily thing with ATT. So when My contract is up August 2011 my Iphone is gone and I am buying an android smart phone with ANYBODY else but ATT.
Yeah......NO This is a great idea. How many horror stories did we hear when "buckle up" happened? People being burned alive because the car caught fire and the people couldn't release the seatbelt. Millions must have died with the number of times I heard this one. Sorry I would rather lose one or two (me included) to stop cell phone use in cars. I Almost got killed yesterday by a fool in an SUV texting as he went from the fast lane off the freeway. Sorry some of us are old enough to remember before there were no cell phones, we survived, doctors used call services, life went on. I have NEVER received or needed to make a call so important, I couldn't delay it till I pulled off the road. You and Your phone calls are NOT as important as anybodies life, sorry
No. it is time companies look at what is best for society not just their bottom line. You and I are not allowed to do just what is best for ourselves, we cannot steal even when needed, we cannot race down the road in an effort to save a job. Companies must somehow become a functioning member of society, their existence cannot be governed solely by the drive to make more profit. Companies cannot just benefit from the idea they are entities in our society they also must learn to live with us. Just because it is more profitable for Microsoft to keep cheap labor does not make it right.
Two words "Timothy McVeigh" Howcumzit white boys aren't being hassled like people of color? Because America is racist, always has been. If a white family had asked where is the safest place to sit on an aircraft, nothing would have happened. Its easier to persecute people who are different than your brother or sister. Just because things are the way they are doesn't make them right. We change when some people push the norm and make us look at our selves, or we don't, and stop maturing as a society.
My 32 bit Vista shows the 4gb of ram I have installed, on the other side of the dual boot, Ubuntu does not. Ah well I love both sides and use them both happily.
I never play a game that won't give me a trial. Sorry, to many choices out there, money to tight to spend 50 bucks on something I throw away. I'll stick with WoW.
I hate Microsoft, today was an excellent example as to why. Somehow through an update or whatever my desktop was completely changed, I lost my wallpaper most of my icons were missing and my default browser somehow had become IE. Oh and my homepage was not igoogle but MSN. I am sure somewhere I clicked a button allowing MS to rape my system through a " recommended update" but this has got to stop. I dual boot vista to play Wow but no more. I will spend the rest of the afternoon or how ever long it takes (probably a lot less)getting Wow to play in Ubuntu and then wipe the last vestiges of this crap OS off my hard drive, thanks for the inspiration m/s.

Out of the box? Not in my experience, not wine, not Cedega, not Crossover, none of these work OTB. I am not alone, read their forums. Admittedly my system having an 8800 nvidia card probably causes most of my problems, but then I push all my video to the max ingame and Linux just hasn't caught up yet, at least in WoW, as I said in my experience. Flame on if you must but that is my experience.
Let see 20 million people playing WoW, which is not ported to any console, guess its a hit. When Burning Crusade came out I went to the release line up. Being almost 60 I was ready for the hordes of kids, surprisingly most people were closer to my age than teens. BTW most of us got into hardware discussions while in line and the money being spent by the older generation in line was amazing. My 8800GTX Nvidea video board was around the norm.
Yeah reminds me of the water shortage. Last one the biggest residential water user was then Governor Wilson's house, overused by thousands of gallons a month.Showed it on TV all the time. Same thing happened when the Governor (now Arnold) declared state buildings go to 79 on their themostats. A guy from KCRA went around checking state buildings and the ones that were the lowest in temp (60 degree range) continually were the assembly and govs house, go figure. Only the little guy will have to hack anything, the big boys will never get in the lifeboat with the rest of us, they never have.
In our Library we use barcodes on the spines and store them by the DDC headings. Barcode readers are cheap and fast, the initial time set up isn't bad as all you need is title, author and a synopsis. BTW we have WAY over 10,000 books done this way.
Not sure how Clear a case you got it seems from reading the pdf that the man put his MP3 files online in his Kazaa folder. Maybe I'm reading it wrong but the violation seems pretty cut and dry to me, he uploaded music. Bad boy, bad boy.
Heck remember Jiffy-Dos? I had a 1 Mhz 64 which cost more than I'll ever admit, or tell the wife. Most often the comment was what would you ever need that much speed for? I remember when I finally got my 128 now that was a fun piece of hardware. Programming sprites now those were the days.

Why? I have been doing this for years, Windows for gaming, Linux for the rest. Oh and Linux Mint for your Mom IMO.
Step 3: hook up to Skynet
Step 4: Whatever Skynet decides
Step 5: Assume the position
Funny World of Warcraft has been doing this for years, looking for cheats they say. Wonder how many parents know about this?

I have a zero tolerance rule too. Fuck with my kid, you die.
well to me any game that doesn't offer an open trial period has something to hide. I will never pay for a game without trying it.

So if you do share music just claim you lost an Ipod along the way and charges dismissed?
