I think it's more like, "Your honor, the industry standard is to not self-police your sites. It's a public site and people can upload copyrighted material. All Viacom has to do is tell us which items are infringing and we can remove them. See, even Viacom doesn't self-police themselves on iFilm..."
There's sort of a fine line between the two...
The publisher makes a hell of a lot more than $1 a title
Yeah, especially when they doctor their books so that the $1mil they were supposed to spend on marketing and PR went straight into their own pockets, and when they massage sales figures so they don't have to pay the developers what's fair. Publishers are a dirty dirty breed. Their entire business model pretty much falls apart if you remove the corruption.
There are lots of foreign sources of ethanol, namely South America, but we levy huge tariffs on their import. They should ditch the tariffs on ethanol import, which would give us an instant supply.
To sell books and support to developers, of course. It doesn't even really matter how few people end up using it, it's just another way to segment the computer world even further. If they get a few big companies to use it, it will sort of build and build. There was a time when nobody was using Flash, remember? Now it's pretty much everywhere. Just because Macromedia kept plugging away bit by bit, slow and steady...
Go forward with your project, just host it in another country. Don't let stupid people like this lady scare us away from our hobbies, which were our hobbies long before her kind ever even used a computer.
..that one day, our Congress will rise up and force the **AAs to give back the money they extorted from every single file sharer, all 50,000 or so who were ever sued.
Is that the same dream where Carmen Electra and Heidi Klum both end up naked in your bedroom with two suitcases full of cash each, while you polish your Nobel prize and smoke fine cuban cigars? I love that dream...
Who's going to fund this, and does that organization immediately become the supreme planetary overlords for having successfully saved the entire planet from complete destruction?
I thought Folding@Home was bad because they do work for large private companies. So basically you are doing their work for them, and they get all the $$$.
That's a typo. I think what he meant to say was, "Cohn and his colleagues have created a design they believe could triple the size of their bank accounts"
This is not my field of expertise, but I would have thought the current from a Tazer travels over the outer surface of your skin, and not through your body. But Tazers obviously work, so my theory might not be accounting for something or other...
While Sony Home may not be the greatest thing, it is definitely a big announcement and a good step forward.
What's sad is that to you, all Sony has to do is throw some stupid social networking garbage in your face and you immediately forgive them for all their past evils. All you care about is the product and what it can do for YOU, and not the company behind it and how they affect everyone else. SONY == RIAA == MPAA == EVIL. So Fuck Sony. Nintendo never rootkit'ed my computer. Nintendo was never found guilty of price-fixing. Nintendo never sued or tried to sue me for copyright infringement. And so on and so forth. All Nintendo has ever done is given me fun things to play with for a reasonable price. So yeah, I don't HAVE to be objective. Fuck Sony.
You're right. FUCK SONY. Fuck them and the RIAA. Fuck them and their price-fixing schemes. Fuck them and their rootkits. Fuck them and the MPAA. Fuck Sony and their DRM. Fuck Sony is right. As soon as they start doing some good-karma shit and stop trying to assfuck every penny out of their customers I'll start giving a shit about them and their stupid consoles.
Dynamic advertising is pushed into the space via banners around the world, and in billboards. HD-quality video is running on the billboards. Users are communicating around the demonstrator, with chat, voice, and emotes.
Many will have got bored of tweaking and now be happy to buy a prebuilt machine
You're right about that. There are so many different bus speeds, and CPU types, and memory types, and chipsets, and video cards, and so on and so on... Who wants to keep track of all that shit and build their own computer nowadays just to save $100? It used to be fun back in the day, but nowadays I just feel like, "Sheesh. Just give me something that works already so I can get back to re-drywalling my stupid living room..."
If you remember, they were found guilty of price fixing some years ago. Remember the whole RIAA settlement thing where they sent 100's of thousands of worthless CDs to libraries across the country as part of the settlement? The RIAA is a real classy, honorable organization...
Slashdot Mirror
Honda gives a 100,000 km warranty on all there cars (60,000 miles).
This is not true. You can maybe BUY an extended warranty up to 60k miles, but they certainly do not GIVE you one for all their cars.

Why would we need another java or flash?

Actually I think they get paid in Keith Urban merchandise

They should just market their new UltraMaize as a rat poison. Problem solved.
They left out this part:
"Barely beating BARBIE MAGIC OF THE RAINBOW and EASTER BUNNY ADVENTURE.."

Their computers can't handle the DST switch, so they just move the entire company.
No, not surprising. I've been saying this for years and it's just one more reason to hate MS.

Gee, that sounds GREAT!

They ask permission like the mafia asks permission.

Better close that hole up before the legions of nasty aquatic underworld ghoulies come pouring out into the world

You have just stumbled upon the greatest trick of deception. It's called "plausible deniability".
