But I think here in the UK we're a little more wise to it. This case is already well documented (the documentary is on TV this evening). I would hope that any scientology actions would be countered fairly swiftly.
Then again, the BBC isn't exactly known for closing ranks...
I felt shaky watching that video and about 10 minutes later I'm still feeling it. That was clearly a man under extreme stress who had clearly been frustrated at every turn. The BBC doesn't employ just anyone. It would take a lot to do that to a man. If anyone can do that, the character in the dark glasses could.
Whatever you want to call it (brainwashing has been mentioned) the techniques used by the scientology character were certainly very effective.
As the PDF was downloading I was saying to myself 'Please be LaTeX, please be LaTeX'. For some reason the fact that they did restores my faith in humanity.
Horray for cultural colonialism! Just because some far-off country has customs different to our own, let's throw hypothetical eggs at them because something clashes with our culture and world-view!
I'm sure there's a lot wrong with the culture of those wishing to impose 'freedom' or whatver the buzzword is this decade. I know full well there's a lot wrong with my own country's culture. But I'm sure most people can think of a lot of reasons why those from other cultures should try and impose their customs by force. Then again, I'd welcome a bit more Thai traditional good manners over here.
So what if they have different values to us? If we're going to be relativist about everything, we should look at ourselves too...
So enough of the oppresive regieme comments. Monopolies, net neutrality, bush administration anyone? It's the same everywhere.
And exactly what proportion of cases does the RIAA persue all the way through court right the way through to a judgement?
I'd say at least 107% Call it 108.
'Monday'? Like 'Accenture' and 'Consignia' (Royal Mail in UK), I think they're good names. But it would take managerial incompetence to actually _use_ them....
Whatever people say about the market share about !IE, MS is still a signficant player in the browser market and will be for at least $\infty$.
I'm sure that the a hypothetical CA would more than happy to 'do a deal' with a hypothetical market leader on browsers to ensure the competition were locked out of mainstream acceptance.
You don't get your cert onto IE, you don't get your cert onto the net. Especially as so many high security organisations (like banks) stipulate (or used to until recently) that IE had to be used.
How long until this issue raises its head seriously and MS gets dragged through the courts over it?

Yes, recurse through the case. But what if he never gets it? What if there's no base case?
Of course, in the old days there was GOTO as well. Of course no-one writes laws like that these days...
Apart from heterodyning (which DOES make a pscyhoacoustic difference). This point has been argued back and forth in previous threads.
Also a 22kHz square wave does exist. In real life. On a CD. 11111111 00000000 11111111 00000000 . There.
Not [just] conservatives. This government has privatised everything in sight...
Absolutely.

yes they are.
I'm not outside taking a walk because I'm inside replying to you.
If you hadn't replied I might well have been.
What I don't understand is, time after time, people think they HAVE to consume media.
Just go outside! Enjoy the fresh air once in a while. I watch no TV (though there's one downstairs). Disney is probably doing people a favour.

Well it is licenced to healthcare providers. And probably most of the world's military. Just a question of time...
Is it me or does that image look like a really amateur 'shop?

I for one welcome our new hypothetical non-existent overlords.
This smells of the anthropic principle...
Surely he could fight this under one of the Geneva Conventions on the basis that America tortures prisoners?
Let them spend their money. They earned* it. I kinda like the name. ______ * / acquired
YOU get fired for getting bought BY IBM!

I think you've answered your own question. Unless someone actually knows?
For cameras using RS-232? I thought this was for USB cameras?
Forget free. You see these things for about £5 (http://xe.com) these days. I'd pay up to that for a car if I knew there was a hotfix.
