Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: if anything we should be greatful to facebook (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I see the point jjmsan is trying to make. He's referring to conspiracy to commit murder. But even with that, some actions have to be taken to show true intent.
This "conspiracy to commit" douse not extend to many other things. There is no such charge as conspiracy to commit bullying.
I saw that on the news the other day (as Chronno S. Trigger)
The only thing I could think of was why are they blaming South Park, there was a moral at the end of it (that Cartman didn't get).
Re: This is exactly why we don't need government run healthcare (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I'm going to go one step further, and I hope the politicians will hear this because they will love it.
The government doing anything should be a last option, not the first step.
I don't know why more politicians don't follow that rule. They'd get payed to sit around and do a lot less.
Copyright Lobbyists Demand More (as Chronno S. Trigger)
No, how could they betray us like that? If only someone had seen this coming a F**KING MILE AWAY.
/sarcasm
OK, I feel better now.
Re: What Piracy? (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I thought 70% of all piracy comes from Canada and 60% comes from New York.
Scared of the deadly boredom (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I'm going to go out on a limb and post my twitter account and let you decide. Am I more interesting than Steve Dahl?
Read my boringness and be afraid. Be vary afraid.
Seriously, if he can't compete with someone like me, then he's got more problems then Twitter.
Yes, your fauther would be disapointed. (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I was looking up his history hoping I had read something by him to quote, but I can't find anything. But, while I was looking I found this in his list of works:
Bottom: On Shakespeare two volumes (Volume 2 is C. Zukofsky's musical setting of Shakespeare's Pericles) (1963)
Looks like he didn't mind taking a page from history.
From what I have read, it seems like Louis Zukofsky was vary cautious about losing touch with his audience and had great respect for his father.
Re: Re: This isn't surprising as a gamer... (as Chronno S. Trigger)
Point number one I can see but you are strait up wrong on point number 2. With paying burned games on the 360 you have to go threw quite a few checks to make sure it will play and won't get you banned. And as we can see from the recent 1 million banned mark recently reached, that doesn't work ether. PC games, on the other hand, once they are cracked that's it. It takes vary little effort on the part of the end user to get it to work. And they get hacked to not phone home so there is no future risk of repercussions.
PC piracy is much more prevalent than 360 piracy. There are probably more cracked copies of windows than total 360s.
Re: Re: Not really a good find... (as Chronno S. Trigger)
"Every company I've ever worked for, and the company I own and operate, compensates according to sales."
That started a long time ago. It's why Atari came to be.
Re: (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I'd like to point out that I hate Steam. While it's less annoying than the vast majority of options out there, I despise the fact that the bloated peace of software has to run and get online before I can play a game that I legally purchased. I have the original DVD, I have the key, why the hell do I have to go online every single time I want to play the damn game?
Where as, if I pirate it, I don't have to worry about that at all. Doesn't seem to make anything harder to be a pirate.
DRM is in no way shape or form to prevent anyone from downloading the software. It's to prevent people from copying it in the first place. As we can see from any search on The Pirate Bay or a thousand other torrent sites, DRM douse not work. When there are so many people who get more fun out of cracking the DRM than playing the actual game, DRM douse not work.
Thus, since it's not in any way shape or form annoying to be a pirate, and it can be annoying to be a legitimate user, you are wrong.
Re: (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I think it's more logical that they did name their sandals after the islands and not the car.
Re: (as Chronno S. Trigger)
In the second screen cap, it has three links to Yahoo news with snippets. News corp owns Yahoo news? (to be honest, I don't know, but I doubt it.)
Re: Re: Boycott (as Chronno S. Trigger)
Well then go out and tell someone. If all of us tell one person each and they tell one person each then the news spreads.
Re: Re: Can he really get in trouble? (as Chronno S. Trigger)
Well, it is a bad thing and there are parts of the law that allow punishment for it.
The question becomes; Will they punish this person and set a precedence or let it slide to allow the big corporations to keep filing false DMCA takedowns? Or, a much more likely outcome; Will they smack this guy around with the law and conveniently forget it exists the next time the big guys do it?
Re: (as Chronno S. Trigger)
I'll tell my mom to copyright "Brain Fart". For those who don't know, it's the exact opposite of an 'aha moment.
(I don't know if she was the first person to ever say it, but she's the first and only person I've ever heard say it.)
Re: Re: Copies (as Chronno S. Trigger)
No, I think that pixelpusher220's definition fits, but the law was never intended to cover something like an MP3. Something that can be copied infinitely with an infinitely small price. I'd bet that copyright would be laughed out of the House if it was introduced today as artificially limiting the spread of infinite knowledge.
That being said, under the current law, Bluebeat douse not have a case. With all those cover bands having to pay licensing and even the guy who whistled behind the bar getting threatened, I think there's enough case law to cover identical, yet different instrumented, recordings.
I always figured that part of copyright law only covered stuff already in the public domain. Like how you can't copyright Beethoven's Fifth, but you can copyright a recording of yourself playing it.
Re: @ byteme (as Chronno S. Trigger)
Fox News douse use a robot.txt, the contents were posted here a little while ago. The interesting part is that their robot.txt file explicitly tells the Google bot where to look. It's literally changing one line of text to tell Google to shove off.
It would have been cheaper, faster, and more efficient just to tell his web admin to change the line of text. Makes it sound like Murdoch has something else going on.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: [widescreen/FOV] (as Chronno S. Trigger)
So, people with wide screen monitors are artificially limited due to some arbitrary sense of fairness.
While I nave never hosted a MW2 server (how many have at this point?), I do understand things like lag time and frame rates. While the server will push the data as a set speed it doesn't work if you're connection is slower than that speed. And the frame rate has nothing to do with connection speed at all. Yet, you have a crappy frame rate, you can't play properly.
Re: Re: Re: The solution is, unfortunately for Mr. Masnick, to use more cameras. . . (as Chronno S. Trigger)
You assume that the T-bone accidence have gone down. Have they or have we just added all of those rear end collisions to the list?
Let me ask you this. What is the danger to me or others if I'm in the intersection when the light turns red? Who am I endangering? The guy who is still sitting at a red and won't move until approximately 1.7 seconds after my light turns red (our lights have a 1 second delay between red and apposing green)? Even at 25Mph I'll be over 100 feet away before that guy gets near where I was.
If the cameras were about safety there would be longer yellow lights, delays between red and green, and the cameras would delay until the apposing side was green. This would allow the red light cameras to be there but not piss everyone off. Doesn't that sound better to you?
Re: Red Light Cam Revenue! Yeah! (as Chronno S. Trigger)
The only valid reason to have a red light camera is to help with the situation you bring up, with people running the light well after it's red, BUT if that were the only concern the yellow lights would be longer and the red light cameras would not activate until the other side turns green.
This is why we hate red light cameras. I don't want to have to worry about getting flashed just because some asshole decided that revenue increased by 50% by shortening the yellow light by 2 seconds. I'm sorry but 1.5 second yellow is not enough time to come to a stop from 45Mph.
Key phrase here, It's not about safety.
