Michael Moore: Your child—Its Bush sending the children there.
Bill O'Reilly: I would sacrifice myself.
Michael Moore: You and I don’t go to war, because we’re too old—
Bill O'Reilly: Because if we back down, there will be more deaths and you know it.
Michael Moore: Say ‘I Bill O’Reilly would sacrifice my child to secure Fallujah’
Bill O'Reilly: I’m not going to say what you say, you’re a, that’s ridiculous

Senator wants to ban P2P networks

Senator wants to ban P2P networks | CNET News.com
The chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary said Thursday that a ban on file-trading networks is urgently required but agreed to work with tech companies concerned that devices like Apple Computer's iPod would be imperiled.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just wrong. What about the large percentage of people that use P2P for legitimate purposes? Also do you really think that there won't be some type of loop hole in there somewhere that will come back and bite the companies that are supporting it in the ass. It would just be easier to change the copyright laws and allow more stuff to be put into the public domain. I mean do songs from 5 years ago really need to be held onto so tightly. Chances are you have not heard many of those songs on the radio recently have you?

I am going to say this here right now, if P2P networks get banned, you will see a price increase on music download sites like iTunes, Napster, etc. Why are their prices so low, to entice people to come over from P2P networks. With out them, they can increase their prices because if you want to download your music you will pay what they want you to pay. This will have a larger impact then many are aware of.

This can not be aloud to go through. If you feel The Induce Act is wrong and should be tossed in the trash go here at the EFF and use the form to let your senator know.

Will consumers tune in to portable video? - News - ZDNet

Manufacturers are set to release portable digital media players, but there’s little expectation they will transform the market overnight in the way that MP3 players such as the iPod changed the music industry.

I agree, there is little content specifically designed for these players. And as it states it is a little hard to watch a video while you are driving down the road or walking up the street. Also I do not want to watch a movie or tv show on a 2 inch screen.

The Final TSS

It has been a sad couple of days with The Screen Savers having their last live show Thursday and the last show, which will air on Sept 6, from the Tech TV studios in San Fran on Friday. I just wish I would have got a chance to go and 'be part of the show' as they say. Fortunately one of the audience members took their camcorder and Kevin took it and set it up at 'home base' during the opening. So there is about 5 minutes of behind the scene footage. Here is a link to where to get it on Leoville. And here is a link to the rest of the TechTV boards over at Leoville. TechTV will be missed.

Different Takes on Michael Moore's Latest Film

Stolen a film? MPAA wants to know

Stolen a film? MPAA wants to know | CNET News.com
One in four people online has illegally downloaded a feature film--and it's cutting into box-office and DVD sales, the Motion Picture Association of America said in a study released Thursday.
I find that hard to believe. Besides have you ever seen the quality of those movies that you download. They suck. Let's see people are going to the movies less often. Why do you think that is? It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the price is steadily going up and there are as many advertisements there as on TV. DVD sales are down too. Not that many good movies have been released on DVD. That and why rush out and by one because in a couple of months they release the same one with all those extra features. Not to mention that they are putting in commercial in the DVDs as well and you can not get past them. Do you think that could be a reason? Also it takes a fast broadband connection to download those movies. The percentage of people that have broadband in the US is a small percentage of internet users. So I think that the survey could have been a little off if they surveyed more broadband users then the overall user. But this is just my opinion.

Joke Time

A little girl asked her mum, 'Mum, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?'
Mum replies, 'No, because she is in heat.'
'What's that mean?' asked the child.
'Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage.'
The little girl goes to the garage and says, 'Dad, may I take Belle for a walk around the block?
I asked Mum, but she said the dog was in heat, and to come to you.'
Dad said, 'Bring Belle over here.'
He took a rag, soaked it with gasoline, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it and said,
'Okay, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash and only go one time around the block.'
The little girl left, and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash.
Surprised, Dad asked, 'Where's Belle?'
The little girl said, 'She ran out of gas about halfway down the block,
so another dog is pushing her home.'

I am in complete agreement here. Everyone and I mean everyone that has a Windows based machine should have a copy of Mozilla, Firefox (personal pick), or Opera. Btw, I have all three.

Defense bill could stifle computer trade

Defense bill could stifle computer trade | CNET News.com

"Defense proposal would classify any PC with a chip more powerful than a Pentuim 3 (running at 650mhz) as a weapon."
"Today, computer sellers are required to get a license to export any computer with performance equal to or greater than a system with 32 Intel Itanium processors. The current version of the defense authorization act would lower that limit to systems deemed "militarily critical" by the Department of Defense. That level is currently set to the equivalent of a computer using a Pentium 3 processor running at 650MHz, state of the art in 1999 but considered feeble today." No shit it is feeble today. Mutiply that by 4 and you are closer to what is feeble.

I just want to know which members of congress comes up with this type of shit. Will this mean you are going to have to have a special permit to accure computer parts in the US at some later date? Does this mean that 3 of my computers are considered Weapons of Mass Destruction, because they are running at over 1Ghz? I know that this is affecting exports and it will likely be dropped but that does not mean that it could not play some role with in the states. I mean with all the other, what I call anti-tech, bills that congress has put out there it would not surprise me if they try to make it more difficult to buy a computer in the states.
