So now it the time for all right minded people to QUIT buying ANY Epson product. Simple cure for ALL the “out of their bloody mind” manufacturers.
Techdirt: Congress Moves Forward On Putting Online Poker Players In Jail
Congress critters trying to increase the prison population once again. Guess this is another good use for the detainment camps Halburton is building. Also another use for all that info on online activities that the NSA is collecting.

Apple Legal = Idiots trying to destroy the company
Okay, the general concept is not bad. The prices they are asking for a bit of folded cardboard are unprintable.

Techdirt: Can Prior Art Actually Infringe On A Patent Filed After The Prior Art Existed?
Lotta things to look at here but sounds like KAM has made a BIG mistake. Lotta prior art on controlling model railroads with computers.
Guess it’s about time to patent using a hammer to affix strands of metal to a upright wooden posts using U shaped metal devices sharpened on the ends.

Note to folks with websites that depend on flashââŹâ
NOT EVERYONE IS WILLING OR ABLE TO DOWNLOAD A PLUG-IN THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO SEE YOUR OH SO CUTE FLASH CRAP SITE!
The web was built to operate using ââŹĹHTMLââŹÂ as the primary language. ALL browsers support ââŹĹHTMLââŹÂ. Many DO NOT support ââŹĹflashââŹÂ which is a proprietary bandwidth hog and IS NOT designed to render entire websites with, no matter what Macromedia may claim.
If you just HAVE to have flash on your site try to have another site rendered in standard HTML that the browser is redirected to that will allow viewing of your siteââŹÂŚ
Thanks for reading.

Treehugger: Northern Dogtrot Retreat- a Nice Place to Unfold
Nice looking small retreat. Wish I could see the site, but as with so many of these architectural sites, they depend ENTIRELY on FLASH so I (and I am sure quite a few linux users) can’t even see the site.
Note to folks with websites that depend on flash —
NOT EVERYONE IS WILLING OR ABLETO DOWNLOAD A PLUGIN THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO SEE YOUR OH SO CUTE FLASH CRAP SITE!
The web was built to operate using “htnl” as the primary language. ALL browsers support “html”. Many DO NOT support “flash” which is a proprietary bandwidth hog and IS NOT designed to render entire websites with, no matter what Macromedia may claim.
If you just HAVE to have flash on your site try to have another site rendered in standard html that the browser is redirected to that will allow viewing of your site…
UPDATE — I have heard from someone at this site and other than a problem with my remark “YOUR OH SO CUTE FLASH CRAP SITE” says that they are working on an html version of the site.
Also I want to clarify that I didn’t mean that their site is crap (I can’t view any of it so I really can’t know, now can I?) but that FLASH is a CRAP language in which to render an entire website.
Slashdot | Germany Accepts Strict Piracy Law
From the article: ‘Germans risk two years in prison if they illegally download films and music for private use under a new law agreed yesterday. Anybody who downloads films for commercial use could be jailed for up to five years.’ Many politicians defended the new law, amongst them GĂÂźnther Krings, the Christian Democrat legal affairs spokesman, who claimed: ‘There should be no legal distinction between stealing chewing gum from a shop and performing an illegal download.'”
Makes me wonder how many of the idiots involved in voting for this stupidity have investments in prison housing and or construction and or supplying materials for the many new facilities that will soon be needed.
