Seriously who thought up this retarded idea....the stargate movie was OK and the richard dean anderson sg-1 is absolutely terrible crap.... I can't make it through an episode without laughing hysterically, or suppressing the urge to vomit from the terrible script, lines, actors, action, etc.
I'm sure the movie will tank and the MPAA will blame pirates for their losses.
you watch a light beam go into water and be bent and dissipate they just measure the speed and angle change through the medium i guess. for some reason this one lines the light up w/ the right part of the spectrum to let you see something like infrared i guess.
1. Stops popups automatically 2. constant updates and improvements every x months (because it is open source) 3. better security than IE 4. the option to easily clear cookies, history, temp files, etc on close (finding all the crap IE buries in your HDD is next to impossible for the average user) IMHO The firefox browser is a damn good browser.
To tell you the truth I use FF for #1 ALONE. After listening to all the chatter on slashdot about holes in IE7...
If your honda has a bad muffler, do you trade it in for a yugo?
No one can truly know what is going on up on capital hill. Most of the time there is little knowledge of what the candidate is truly like even on the local level. What they purport to stand for in the public eye however is not always what their true self belies. (read: Mark Foley, Abramoff etc etc...)
Regardless of the reasoning VOTE because it is the ONLY say you have in this government...and a shaky one at that.
that says that all vote tallying on these machines MUST BE DONE bY HARDWARE and not secretive software that frankly has more security flaws than an IE browser on 0day. I'll never vote on a diebold machine. Demand paper ballots.
Those can be programmed with basic rather well. You can also pick them up at any pawn shop for about 30-50 bucks... Cheap easy Basic portable durable...worry about OOP later.
Anyone who has ever taken a screenshot knows that...the game itself can also be art. Take rez for example. There was nothing better than binding the screenshot to +attack in AQ2 then shooting someone in the head w/a sniper rifle...beauty I tell ya.

OMG you read my mind...that wasn't supposed to work, but when my little bro did it w/ his patented blow the cart, tap it 5 times blow it again then gently slide it just over the lip it worked every time!!!
Classic.
As for a PC, I've never had to do anything remotely like that...call me lucky I guess. The closest I've come is crossing my fingers every time teh pc boots to Windoze...:P
When you put this into perspective plain and simple the Telcos were wrong to go along w/ this. The Bush Administration came to them and said we want to tap your hubs. The first thing that should have come to mind for the telcos was is this legal. The second thing that should have come to mind is that they have an obligation to their customers FIRST. You know the people paying them for service? Third, they should have thought about the 4th amendment to the constitution and the first amendment on which their services rely heavily.
The fact is that they were completely complicit in these actions. They probably didn't even submit it to their lawyers or if they did their lawyers said well if anyone sues us we'll argue that we were told by the government, etc.
Remember they also aren't just tapping phones they are analyzing and filtering ALL of the data that passes through the ATT switches...IE EVERYONE!
This administration and the companies cooperating in warrantless eavesdropping are guilty of the biggest constitutional offense in US history...the baffling part is that they openly admit it as though it were legal and / or ok.
Impeachment NOW! Don't wait until the rest of the amendments have been violated.
MS stole their gui originally from Xerox back in the day they stole DOS (practically) and turned it into MS-DOS. Microsoft hasn't had an original idea since...well...ever. Down w/ M$. As for new OS when it comes to switching to Vista....NEVARRR!!! I'm going Linux and not looking back. I'll probably never use a mac unless I have a lobotomy or lose my middle finger for right clicking...
Cmon...visit any torrent site and the PS2 and PSP games are the top of the list. The argument that console games can't be pirated or are pirated less is a joke.
On a different note, marketing games once they are finished and delaying the release date is done at the creator's expense...with some exceptions. Before the xbox 360 came out there was tons of game marketing for that system, but there was also very little incentive to pirate at that time because the console wasn't on the market yet...why release a pirated version that no one can play right?
In short if a game is "good" it will market itself. Delaying the release date of a finished game to "create demand" is a business/marketing model that is outdated and failing. Considering the fact that most pre-released pirated games come from store employees that have had the game in the back room for WEEKS, is it really any surprise that one of the boxes gets cracked open a few days/weeks early?
What then proves you are licensed to use software if the COA isn't proof that you have authentic (therefore licensed)software?
This is why I don't pay for MS products. I'd love to see someone get taken to court by MS for not having licensed software. The user's defense could easily be...well according to this the license doesn't actually exist.
Someone needs to write an EULA destroyer that removes EULAs from proggies.
Copyright was a tool, invented before the age of electronic information, to enrich the body of public knowledge and cultural heritage while, in turn, benefiting those who produced copyrightable works.
****
Are you kidding?!?!?!
Copyright was an author or creators right to say don't copy my shit. Thats why its called a copy right. It wasn't based on inspiration and security. It was based on greed. Same principal as a patent. You get a patent so no one can duplicate your invention WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY YOU.
i didn't lose the reg code....the disk was fucked...big difference.
Either way they never responded to over 3 requests.
Whatever though THANKS TO AN ONLINE COPY I DIDN"T HAVE TO WASTE THEIR TIME AND MONEY....
Case in point.
Considering I never said it was EAs fault that the disk got scratched your point is irrelevant. I was looking to get a replacement disk. I paid to use the program and I should be able to.
In addition the music that the RIAA makes most of its money off of is top 40s crap. Teenagers and housewives look for that crap on p2p sites. You obviously don't realize that they pay more for marketing on that crap than on the actual product itself...by your logic I should have to pay them for showing me a commercial...hell the expenses came out of thier pockets right??!?!
IMO after 10 years EVERYTHING should be public domain. Hell they give it away over the airwaves in the first place for free.
Just because someone isn't getting the $$ they used to won't make me care.
Your defense of a bunch of rich pricks w/ fancy pieces of paper amuses me. I make 15k a year and if my daughter wants to listen to that NSYNC crap for a week before she goes out and wastes my $$ on the CD then am I supposed to care? Seriously. Like you've never stolen a CD before.
High and mighty is laughable.
Slashdot Mirror
I agree 100%
People are still using aol. You can't stream video for shit over dialup.
How does an online diary or web log qualify anyone as a lobbyist?
So if I don't register my blog who will come and arrest me?
can you spell go fuck yourself?

So now they:
1. Don't have enough evidence to prove wrongdoing so...
2. They want the judge (state [taxpayers]) to let them get evidence through "discovery"...
The judge will probably say they have no case and the defense will move for dismissal.

Yeah, me too. Slap these fixers hard.
bahahahaha...
Sweet.
Now my grandma won't have to pay those bastards anymore.
How many of you have never run a stop sign? How many of you have never sped?
Jaywalked? Worse?
To think that everyone should be punished for every violation of the law is to almost remoove free will.
I'd prefer to read 1984 live it.
