well, I suppose soon tivo will be illegal too

http://news.com.com/Senator+wants+to+ban+P2P+networks/2100-1027_3-5280384.html

always great to see that our senators are this easily manipulated. They even go so far as wanting to reverse the betamax decision, so I guess tape recorders and vcrs will be illegal too. Time to start emailing those senators folks, or we're all in trouble.

 

There will be body parts strewn across the lawn if some fat bastard senators try and take my TiVo.

 

How can you "ban" p2p networks? it would be like trying to "ban" microsoft... too many people use it!

 

Just passing through, HIhttp://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0304/aktion/action-smiley-069.gif carry on.

 

force ISP's to report who's using them.
Nice avatar from Farscape by the way, I hate sci fi for canceling that.

 

I like it too I made a whole load of them the other day when I got a bit bored.

Yeah but it'll only be USA based ISPs, nothing stopping the rest of the world from still sharing. And also, does that means they'll stop all client-to-client transfers? So I can't send my friend a picture or somthing, just in case its copyright material? Would bring the world of business to a grinding halt if they worded it slighlty wrong.

 

farscape not cancel....

According to the SCI FI Farscape website, the four-hour, two-night event will begin Sunday, October 17.

Mark your calendars, my dear suns and lovers!! a few cycles back, sci-fi big wigs cancelled a show that was acclaimed by all who saw it and by TV guide and had given the network award after award in the coveted saturn awards for best scifi TV show, the name was farscape, after a year of a long hard battle with sci-fi and the thousands upon thousands of efforts of the fans, scifi network changed its mind and decided to give the show the right treatment by letting it end the way the creators had envisioned, the time is now for the peacekeeper war to begin, and resolve the loose ties left at the end of season 4 with that cliffhanger that left us all in disbelief with the words "to be continued"

you can now watch the teaser for the miniseries during the airing of the final season of stargate SG1 on scifi channel, check your listtings, this will be a slobberknocker.

Goldy, love the avatars on your site link. FWIW, had to click on the right arrow ---> to get 2 of the last 3 to display, then click again to get the last one to display. Bazza

Thats weird. Thats a crap script, I didnt write it myself because i finished making them at 2am and really coulnt be bothered to work out how to list a whole load of files.

But thanks I like farscape, and all the images were croped & edited from either footage from my DVD (shhh ) or from wallpapers off the internet.

And the blue woman (blue--woman.jpg) is called Zan. I didnt realise that at 1am

 

Re: well, I suppose soon tivo will be illegal too, avatars

Goldy, I would like to know what you use to crop and edit from your "shhhhhh" ( don't mention that acronym) movie playing system. More stuff to put on my " would like to do" list. Bazza

Just take screen captures from my DVD viewing program. I can also extract sound from VOB files that I've ripped to my hard drive if I want to

 

Ah, the beauty of technology.
