Because the FBI didn't exist before 9/11?
The FBI hunts down criminals that break federal law or are high priority, Arsonists, mass murderers etc. They also deal with Organized Crime in the country.
I'll give that the CIA was founded to prevent terrorism by Truman but the FBI was about 39 years before the CIA. They only recently, post 9/11, have a national security branch that has a primary directive of counter terrorism.
Why do you keep talking as though by adding a mod chip to a ds or wii or anything else the company is losing money on the console?
The game company has the potential to lose but Nintendo has nothing to lose by allowing mods. I still have to buy the console before I put the chip in to it. They shouldn't care what I do with it after I buy it from them, sure they can come up with a way to make it so I can't use a burned disc online to try to make sure I'm not pirating a game. It would end up like PC games, I can pirate the hell out of it and play by myself or on a lan but if I try to go online it says sorry no can do until I put in the real thing. Problem solved for 90% of the people.
If the public owns the radio waves and it's leased out, then where the hell is my royalty check for allowing it to be leased out? What happens when I decide that I don't want "my portion" to be leased anymore, do I get full control over a certain frequency?
Except that the main reason I would plug my MP3 player in to someone else's computer is to either play music on their sound system or to share music with them.
I'm thinking the sharing music with friends is the part that Apple would actually be deterring with this. If they made it a mandatory "feature".
I also use a Zen because having my MP3 player show up as a hard drive where I can just drag and drop files to and from it makes it a whole hell of a lot more useful and easier to back up.
I don't need a 3rd party program to let me put music on my mp3 player.
Turns out that the grape vine really messed it up and the original story was about some squirrels that made their residence in an electronics closet at a TV station.
The second right is to stop paying if the service provided isn't good enough. You would really list that as a "right" in an article about cell phones? Right, last time I checked my early termination fee could cost me almost as much as keeping my cell service until the end of my contract. There's no such thing as not paying a cell company if you want to be able to buy anything major in the next 10 years of your life. Yay for credit being based on random criteria.
I'm not sure, the threat may be big enough that the companies in the EU start to call for the EC to back off. The amount of money lost in the short term would be too much for the companies to see to the amount saved by switching to linux.
Except that it's the wrong kind of love. Philos is a good love. Eros is a lustful love, a jackass that didn't understand Greek named it.
A pedophile would be more like a doctor. They care about children.
I think we should just get it over with and start with the geothermal drilling platforms. They seem to go over well in all of the scifi movies and shows.
Well the whole thing was stupid in the first place.
Power consumption has nothing to do with if it's dark or not. People leave lights on during the day,T.Vs on when nobody is watching(day or night) and most importantly, computers are left on 24/7 in businesses and at home.
Anyone who thought this would actually lower power usage is a complete dumb shit.
From what I understand it's not that it wants to watch you. It wants to watch the troops.
I didn't see anything about in home systems. It mentioned military activity, it makes some sense but since the government would be implementing it, it would cost 100x more than it should, be 1/4 as effective as it was designed to be, and have the uptime of a computer trying to run an 8800 on a 200w PSU.
Well, if XP is any indicator, the price of vista isn't going to drop over the course of it being supported. Xp professional, after the release of vista, is still $300. Home is still $200.
Microsoft doesn't follow the general rules of business. Every other product on the market drops in price as either a new version comes out, or it gets paid off through purchases, but M$ keeps charging full price and ends up making probably a minimum of 10x more than they would if there were (real,in the sense of widely used) competition and they had to lower the price eventually.
The game doesn't bother me, but this is the fifth review of the game that says the same thing. I wish people would just STFU and link to the first review and leave it at that.
Exactly, my girlfriends laptop is through her dads business and when things break they send a person from a repair shop to fix it at her place free of charge. Doesn't matter where she is, they get it fixed within 24 hours of calling.
For me the thing isn't that he posted episodes of the simpsons, I think it was more related to posting episodes of 24 before the air date. Which is afaik illegal because it can be argued that the company literally lost money due to people not watching the episode at air time, causing a loss in commercial revenue.

Then answer this question, what the hell is the wizard of oz doing telling us about energy efficiency?

The public doesn't own anything.
I loved this show and wish that I could find the DVDs easier and cheaper. $50 for one disc of one season is ridiculous.
Extremely off topic but that would be an excellent feature to have on it.

No and last time I checked they were sharp so I wouldn't want to go down the trial and error road either.
The hot sounding british chick says wee-seven.
Songs are 128Kbps, so far the only thing they have on the songs is at the front it says "Don't steal it, we7 it".

MS Should just nullify all EU licenses and see how long they bitch and moan about this stuff. Pull everything from the shelves and say piss off.

With that much power being given to DOS the QA guy just might have to call to his manager and say, uh sir, the OS has become sentient.

There's also the fuckton and metric fuckton, thus far the heaviest units of measurements I've come across.
