    Ring your local government office who deals with such things and ask what you can and can't do and what is covered by fair use and consumer rights. What's the worst that could happen? A step up from that would be an actual lawyer/solicitor but that costs I believe. Some of your various...

    I seem to remember hearing positive stories about iTunes under WINE. could be worth a shot if you really want. And if you mean AAC then these may help. http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php?details=74 http://www.xmms.org/plugins.php?details=50 remember however that itunes has DRM packaged...

    What do you think ?

    I think that he didn't know it translated to prime minister. Don't you think you're being a bit harsh to him just because he didn't know a correct translation and had a good stab at it anyway?

    Fallout 3 engine info?

    I may have got your post slightly wrong but here goes. The third person view in morrowind wasn't just positioned behind your character, you could twirl it pretty much all around them even to the front looking back over their shoulder to something behind them.

    Radiation.... and the Future!

    More the model found in text books for twelve year olds. no orbital subshells, nothing even remotely complicated or even needs to be that accurate just so that most people, even children will say "thats a (simple drawing of an atom". Unless we have the "idea" of neutrons protons and electrons...

    Radiation.... and the Future!

    The point would be that even if the periodic table is not recognised (likely) a drawing of an atom probably will, at which point it quite clearly draws into the periodic table. they then look at the numbers, hmm proton and mass... interesting. Oh and here seems to be a list, it refers back to...

    North Korea Has The Bomb?

    They might very well be worried if the wind takes it over to china. *very* worried. They also have missile bases in that area, more than enough to cause that sort of explosion Current evidence, not just press statements. points to it not being a nuclear bomb. If you want you can even go...

    North Korea Has The Bomb?

    Volcanis eruptions. (I believe there is a volcano in the area) and I have heard, as nutty as it sounds, that forest fires with the right atmospheric conditions can cause white smokey mushroom clouds, however that would call into question the crater. Also there are conflicting reports on...

    Radiation.... and the Future!

    Actually I just had another thought on it. inscribe the container all around with a variety of pictures containing information on what is inside and what it does. A periodic table with models of certain atoms, and a list of the elements inside the container possibly with models again...

    Radiation.... and the Future!

    I would think that it would be fairly self-evident even without warning signs. The waste should be buried in areas that are not accessible without sophisticated equipment, so any one reaching the area must have some level of technological expertise. The containers will also scream "man-made"...

    Fascism of RIAA

    Well apart from those two exceptions (and those two exceptions are quite understandable and not typical) you've done nothing wrong. Depending on your country and local laws you've done nothing wrong in my eyes or in the eyes of the law. If someone is to look at your computer without lawful...

    Fascism of RIAA

    Two problems with your analogies. If you were taking the lyrics and sheet music of the songs and playing them yourself, then *that* would be like taking the blueprints of hte ferrari. Second food is a downright neccesaty, the songs people pirate aren't. You've gone your whole life without...

    Fascism of RIAA

    Thank christ. You've just made me a very happy man. I frequent a fair few boards that a rife with idiot pirates making up rubbish, and you are the first person to have the guts and honesty to say that. Cant express how much respect I have for you over most of the others condoning it. Then...

    Fascism of RIAA

    Interesting, I've never actually had a problem with this, Most just released pop style albums can be picked up between 5-10 as can a lot of DVDs, the last cd purchase I made ended up having each song worth around 20p and then the 3 cds carrying them 1p ontop. Shop around, it's a free market...

    Fascism of RIAA

    There are also a fair few good (according to the majority) artists who've made even more money with the help of the likes of the RIAA. The idea that intellectual property should be freely copied and spread by anyone is usually drummed up by people who dont have their own IP that they've...

    The Final Virus

    The speed at which certain open-source and non-opensource programs get developed can be shocking. Actually OOo is a rather bad example, bloated and slow to say the least. I much prefer KOffice applications mayself. Then there is always abiword, scribus, quattro-pro (way ahead of it's time), star...

    The Final Virus

    And driver support. The only problem being, unless some miracle happens, Fallout and Fallout 2 will need to be played with WINE.

    The Final Virus

    Quite wrong. Depends on how you see "*true* solution/alternative", However there is an excellent solution or alternative. An interesting belief and one held by most. However there are those past and present that can give truely informed examples to the opposite. Less so nowadays due to them...

    The Final Virus

    It depends on your definition of "Doomsday" in this case. If you mean "wipe out all life on Earth" or "Causes a *major* loss of life" then no, probably never will happen and the next generation of the windows operating system *should* be a lot more secure. However if you mean taking out large...

    Shaun of the Dead

    A light, witty mix of the dry and zany, not for everybody's tastes, probably not even for most. A refreshing change from most films with a mix of subtle jokes, crude swearing, inside references and practical comedy. Supported by a cast of characters that should be instantly recognized by any...
