I saw a news story today about a man who was injured yesterday on one of the trains. Today he left the hospital and went and rode the train again, and again, and again. A reporter asked him if he was scared, he replied that he would "not give the b******* the satisfaction of being scared." That is what will ultimately defeat terrorism, our conviction to simply NOT be terrorized.

As I stated long ago, technology is a constant changing thing. Anti-P2P technology does not yet currently exist because the P2P technology was not an issue to be dealt with by "Anti" technology until just recently. However, that is no longer true. Anti-P2P technology is under development by the corporate world for the basest reason of all... money! The first company that develops a technology that stops / blocks P2P from happening at the technology
[quoteLastly, would you mind answering a few questions... since you have admitted that the profile info is not you... 1. do you use filesharing to get music, movies, software?<B
but that would take inclination on my part cougent and what motivation is there to be had in explaining to a man that cannot tell the difference between an argument and a flame, that seeks to argue both sides of an issue and still be taken seriously and hears only what he wants to hear and disregards the rest. perhaps your own se
Ka806 I was actually asking the questions of vasqo, but thanks for answering anyway.
Jafo, I am sure you were around in the pre-internet BBS days, remember the term "flamers"? For those who don't, they were guys who got into discussion threads just to argue. They didn't make a point because they have none, their intent was just to see how much turmoil they could create. Well all things old become new again. vasqo, jafo has asked you 4 times in the last few messages to state your opinion or position, yet all you
since you choose to quote me cougent i assume your observations are also a response to my own discourse. so.. what exactly is this 'only one side and know it to be right simply because i want it to be' do you think is applicable to my argument? indeed exactly 'which' side do you think it is that i am defending and haven't we alre
really cougent. perhaps one cannot doubt your affinity for binaristic oppositions afterall. on the one hand you claim that p2p filesharing will be stopped and yet at the same time you state that for every technology there is a counter technology that perpetuates a 'constant game of "one upmanship". a logicality that seeks to argu
I love the term, binaristic positions. Well here is one: theft is theft. period. Whether you are stealing a digital copy of some guys singing and banging on musical instruments (a good description of Metallica, in my opinion) OR whether yopu are trying to hotwire a Porsche at 3AM OR whether you are the guy who hacked into Card Systems and stole 40,000 credit card numbers OR (on and on, the list is endless). The point is that YOUR action
In regards to the file "sharing", I too applaud the SC for their decision, and has well been stated here already they did limit their condemnation to the purveyors of piracy not the technology that facilitates the piracy. I never used Napster, it was wrong, pure and simple and therefore I made a conscious choice not to use it. Not out of a great love for Metallica and their continued status as millionaires... rather as a choice for myself a
why no i suppose not. today's youth are so.. immoral. perhaps we need our own war to go off and fight. one that takes place in another country. against an enemy we know little about. and for specious reasons we don't fully understand. oh wait we have iraq. except that was an unpopular war as well. perhaps contemporary youth are s
