I agree with parent. The latter sentence is implying there hasn't been a carnivorous mammal discovered in 24 years at all and if that is not the case then it should specify "in Madagascar"

Except my bike can make it to the mall in less than 12 parsecs!
Wait...

It gets worse, during the discovery process it was found that Viacom were uploading their works using sock accounts and then threatening YouTube with legal action saying they were put up there illegally. Is the balance he was talking about "balanced 100% in favor of media companies no matter what they do" view?

No, the Viacom vs YouTube ruling was fair, especially considering internal memos admitted that the "illegal uploading" was done by Viacom themselves.

I thought not even the RIAA could justify Viacom's side of this case.

Bit of a pickle, last time I checked OSX doesn't support ext4 while Linux doesn't support ZFS (except with FUSE which I dont reccomend in a produciton environment) which would be my 2 options for performance. I know UFS is in both so that could work but I am curious if OSX can support XFS.

If you could find a driver for ext4 on OSX I would reccomend that: its fast & proven to be quite stable, next best thing would be XFS.

I find it ammusing that this "gimmick" that you refer to looks exactly like a Wii MotionPlus and a nunchuck. At least Microsoft is being origional in their approach. Its also ammusing that you have to fork out $180 for the full experience per player for the 1:1 motion control that has existed for a year thats an optional pack in for games that support it.

Except for the fact that console sales the Wii dominates not only in America but Japan, Europe and Australia too. The entire purpose of the Wii was for a cheap, simple, easy console for a more casual audience: and it has worked. The PS3 is still too overpriced for casual gamers and the 360 is too much of a hardcore system Move & Kintect being the big causal push could be overpriced as well if the US$149 price point turns out to be correct for Kinect and to play all Move games you need to shell out $180 (Camera, 2 Move controllers and a nunchuck varient). The Wii is a causal audience system with a few gem games for the core. 360 and PS3 players (and especially fanboys) are not the same type of people that have a Wii as their only system.

Another thing about the Wii is its titles are focused on local multiplayer as opposed to online, which is why its usually popular at parties. The PSP failed because of a focus on scaling down console experiences onto a handheld, which was never the appeal of portable gaming. The reason why the DS (and now iPhone too) kicked its butt is because the experiences were small bite sized types suitable for a handheld. The main issue with the PSP was there wern't enough games like Patapon and too many games like God of War which is something Sony obviously still dont get. One thing I dont like about the PSP is its control layout. They should have either done a touch screen or at the least a 2nd analouge nub (Katamari PSP would have been awesome with either).

Maybe I am fortunate to have all 3 consoles and both handhelds (not iPhone, I chose to go down the Android path there). Each system has its different strenghts and weaknesses and I am fortunate that having them all have allowed me to have some perspective and not be such a fanboy (my fanboyism days died the day the Dreamcast died)

Wikipedia is about facts devoid of oppinion. The sort of ideologues are the sort you can find on Conservapedia like creationist arguments that fail to stand proper scrutiny under the scientific method.

While we are on the subject: why is "liberal bias" anything that does not include a conservative bias? Pages shouldnt be locked but vandal IP addresses should still be blocked. At the end of the day oppinions should be stated as oppinions not facts and so far Wikipedia despite not being "balanced" (whatever that term means) it is neutral which is how information should be presented.

Goatse has a long history of exposing gaping holes

The thought was that SCO sued IBM hoping that IBM would buy them out.

SCO also have contract disputes they will try and persue, the whole fallout over Project "Legend". They're not dead yet but you are right that IBM realises that open source is a big key to their success and do all they can to make sure SCO is dead for good, making an example for other companies.

There isn't full agreement but most of it is pretty complete. The only non nitpicking issue that people cant agree on is video/audio. Microsoft and Apple want push h.264 into their browsers and push h.264 as a de-facto standard so they advocate against defining a codec in HTML5 (an open standard). Of course they dont support anything else in IE and Safari(for HTML5 video tags)

The other camp: mostly the open source community push for Ogg containers (Theora/Vorbis), despite h.264 is a superior codec Microsoft and Apple have mostly been attakcing it with patent FUD. Opera and Firefox are in the Ogg camp.

While Google has been cooking up VP8, an open codec that is supposed to be on par with h.264. Chrome contains support for Ogg and h.264 and likely in the future VP8 will be adopted by Chrome, Firefox and Opera.

At the end of the day we need an open specific video standard: otherwise it fails to solve the problem Flash started (breaking standards).

I wouldnt count on that buddy. People dont like being censored, trust me there will be reprisals of this.

I am guessing you took offense to the comment I made on a preist opposing an AIDS cure.

When I said I heard a preist say that, I didnt say I heard it on TV, radio or YouTube. What I said was I heard a preist say that (as in he was about 5 meters from me)

And who said I was defending the "neo-protestant cults" as you called them? This was an issue with the Roman Church and they should apologize for their wrongdoings. The first step to reform is owning up to and taking responsibility for your actions (contrary to beliefs about confession and/or prayers). Protestant actions are a little offtopic.

Oh and before you think I know nothing about the church, yes I am a former catholic, raised in a catholic family. Most of my personal grevineces with the church do not come from generalsations or reputaiton but from my personal dealings with them, but again: offtopic Also, flamebait people? Flamebait != disagree.

One thing you have to remember is there is no plans to remove the images from Facebook, Facebook will not remove them as they do not infringe on the terms of service, its not in their best interest to piss off their core base (free speech loving westerners) and the people who uploaded the images have no interest in taking it down.

This "tempoary" block wil lbe around for a long time.

Sounds fair enough, and no I wasn't thinking about Galileo I was thinking of Giordano Bruno, an Italian cleric that was burned at the stake for advocating Copernicus' work.
