Jan 5th 2008 7:30AM Dear Mr. Cameron:
If you're pathetic enough to complain that an LCD with a 6 ms response time causes you to fail at games, perhaps you had better give up, go outside and breathe some clean air, since you're always going to suck at games.
Love,
Proud owner of dell 2407, and slavering acolyte to the 3008.

In the UK at least, DJs and Radio Stations have a dispensation from the act because they have bought a performance license for the music- they can aquire it through almost any means (that doesn't involve redistributing it eg bittorent) and then broadcast it. I'm not sure how it works in America but I imagine it's the same.

May 11th 2007 2:26AM Why will robots never possess that crucial thing? What is this crucial thing? You don't know, therefore you can't predict anything based on it. What passes for thought and intelligent action *will* be able to be displayed by a robot, given time.
You say it's programming will limit it- let me ask you, what's a baby? A bag of flesh with a few very simple imperatives. It's got the ability to learn and extend these, to become one the intelligent (or not so) adults surrounding you. A baby has the intelligence of a chimp baby- are you saying they have the certain something? The human mind is just a more complicated version of the same thing. To imply the human mind is anything special, that it somehow contravenes the laws of physics is excessibely anthropocentric. It's like the old Earth, Centre of the Universe thing- people want to think they're special, but they aren't. They're just one more piece of matter.

Feb 26th 2007 1:43PM Oh yeah, it was definitely america nuking Japan that won the western front. Thanks mate.
America "gave" the UK arms and money, on the condition that they'd get more back (conflict investment, very moral!), and only entered the war because it got bombed by the Japanese. Germany had already made some really bad tactical decisions and was getting owned by the Russians. America was useful, but not in anyway necesary. And saying "We won your freedom by our deaths" is really fucking arrogant, since (a) America suffered virtually no domestic destruction and american casulaties made up a tiny percentage of the total and (b) France and Britain were far worse off.
But why am I arguing. You are clearly american, and given what I remember from when I lived there, america is the always good and always holy bringer of light and freedom. It's not your fault you're ignorant, it's your country's god awful school system and religious mania.
By the way. You didn't invent the internet either.

Feb 26th 2007 12:48PM Thank the UK for your "democracy", you arrogant shit. Surely it should be "thank the USA if you live in a despotic dictatorship or warzone, since that's all we really make"?
Oh wait, you're stupid. Sorry.

I'm running windows at the moment. I've got AVG free edition running, and that's it. I've not had any problems running like this for a good few years.
I like windows, once you cut out the bloat crap it's a fast, secure and stable os. Unlike OSX, where you can't actually cut out the crap. I don't want a shiny interface- I want a speedy os that allow me to quickly access programs and files. Which I can do on windows with the huge array of programs available.
I've got WMP11, dreamweaver and photoshop and incopy going, and it's still fast as greased shit. So don't roll out that old chestnut either.
