I am not trying to be a grammer nazi here...I am trying to help you. You keep using the word "sale" when you should be using "sell" You do not "sale" something...you "sell" it.
I wanted to point it out because you've used it quite a number of times in this topic.
It's like "dum dum dum da-da dum dum, da-dum dum dum da-da dum dum" in Ice Ice Baby and just "dum dum dum da-da dum dum" repeated over and over in Under Pressure.
Wow...(pull out a gun and imprision people)...you...(pull out a gun and imprision people)...seem...(pull out a gun and imprision people)...to...(pull out a gun and imprision people)...like...(pull out a gun and imprision people)...this...(pull out a gun and imprision people)...phrase...(pull out a gun and imprision people).
I don't see where grumbel said ****ANY FUCKING THING**** like that.
Well...that wouldn't make much sense. If they are starting the new job in one week, they would be doing that for nothing, as there is always a one-week wait before getting any compensation.

This song is styled exactly like Credence Clearwater Revival. The song begins with a heavy beat and moves into a fast-paced beat with reverb and solid guitar work that all sounds like the bayou music of CCR; one of The Hollies best works.
A 128k mp3 (which you can't officially play with most OSS players) isn't the way to go if you ask me.
Uhh...okay...never ran into a decent OSS player that wouldn't play mp3 files...128k or not.
So if a CD with 10 tracks costs you $15, a lossless download should never cost you more than $1.50 per track since its cheaper to distribute.
I can't imagine this will happen. You will *ALWAYS* be charged more for pieces than the whole thing. Probably closer to $2 per track, which makes getting the whole album cheaper.
And FF8 as the worst of post-SNES Final Fantasies? That implies that the NES and SNES Final Fantasies were bad
No it doesn't. Where does it say ANYTHING about what came before? That's like me saying "Star Wars 1 was the worst of the second trilogy." That tells you NOTHING of what I thought of ANY of the first trilogy.
English can be a very confusing language. However, his statement was not confusing at all.
I see no moral issue with DRM-encumbered products. If you don't like DRM, you don't have to buy them.
The problem I see with this line of reasoning is that if we take what is happening now to its (nearly) obvious conclusion, EVERY electronic media-related *thing* will be DRM-encumbered, and then what are we to do?
And this is great, fine and dandy *IF* the kid is at home. When the kid goes to ANY other computer, it won't be whitelisted in the same way, if at all.
Note: I have no children. I look at adult sites when I want to (then again, I'm an adult). But I see a need to limit children's viewing of said sites. If the.xxx TLD happens and your ISP blocks it all...GO TO ANOTHER ISP. That's what I constantly hear about other issues with ISP's.
This is one guy, out of 100, in the senate, proposing something that the senate, the house, and the president would have to approve of.
Then it would have to stand-up to court challenges, which this is practically guaranteed not to.
And after that, it could also be voted out by any subsequent congress.
Yes...but *ONLY* if it doesn't get appended to some bill that everyone DOES want.
We've all seen that crap time after time after time.
I wish they'd just put into law that you can't append some completely unrelated rider to another bill so crap like this gets passed without most of the people involved understanding that they're passing it.
I've never understood how this can't be pirated, as long as you have a (for example) linux server in your home network.
Use the server as your local DNS server. I'm sure the activation process does not go to a specific IP, but a name. Find out what name it's using. Put this in your server and point to itself. Run a program on whatever port the activation process is using, wait for input and spit out what it wants.
I'm not saying figuring all this out is a 5 minute process...but I can't imagine it won't be done.
Yes...All *I* can say is WTF...Where the fuck did you learn to spell?
I'm sorry...but one or two misspelled words I can handle...not like it but handle...but *THIS* is so bad I was in pain trying to read it.
For those who might want to read the above post and not go through pain...here it is...CORRECTED. (Call me a fucking grammar/spelling nazi...I don't give a shit)
About a week before the xbox 360 came out, I realized that it was going to take more than just walking into a Walmart on the day of the launch and picking one up with no prob. It soon dawned on me that I would have to take extreme measures (not THAT extreme) to get my 360 on launch day. A friend and I ended up driving out of town about 60 miles and came across a Fred Myers (northwest department store)and we were 3rd and 4th in line. We had to spend the night in almost freezing weather but it got done and I made twice my money back when I listed it on ebay the day after... To me that was worth it, financially...
But for me the logic doesnt work. I can't justify spending a week and a half outside of Best Buy for the "chance" to get a PS3. The only wayI would do it is if I was *guaranteed* to get one and able to sell it for more money than the lost day's work. And at my salary good luck even at the very bloated Pre PS3 sales happening on ebay right now. They're going for at least $1500...
I fail to see why anyone sane would stand around outside for 10+ days waiting for a PS3 that they may or may not get unless they are hoping to make a lot of money reselling it to someone else just as desperate to get one...
Precisely why SOX should be renamed SUX...it makes it difficult for anyone to do their jobs, from what I have seen. I am now working at a Fortune 500 company and they are becoming SOX compliant. The good thing? I'm a contractor and am currently looking for a way out.
I'm making 100% sure I am not working for some stupid SOX compliant bullshit place in the future.

I specifically remember seeing Vanilla Ice on MTV News talking about this specific thing.
He said (something to the effect of):
"No...it's not the same thing...their song goes DO DO DO DAH Do-Do...and mine goes DO DO DO Dah-DAH Do-Do...it's COMPLETELY different, man."
Yeah...completely different.

Yet your posts are LITTERED with it.
Get a frigging life!

Dude...wtf do you mean? If you bother to buy some piece of software you're going to install it.
Although, the review at Amazon says:
Umm...Creedence Clearwater Revival, I think you mean...not the Hollies.

THAT is why (IMNSHO) we need to fight it.
Oh really? I watched a fair share of commercial (albeit rented) XXX videos on Beta.

He meant a lot of things he didn't spell correctly.
Except for one problem...Napster no longer = pirating tool. Bittorrent can (and will continue to).
What do angry rabbits have to do with this???
