  Im glad i recently found this:

  instead of razer. I have mates that have razor items and havnt had this issue(thank gawd!) and love the produce, normally im a logitech man myself.
  
  This is beyond rediculas though, do these people not even think of people who have to travel often(like me!) - yes a gaming mouse isnt always needed when i travel but i like my damn keyboard and mouse, and i WILL bring those buggers with me(honestly ive actually left some items behind FOR my KB/Mouse hookup on my laptop before - yes i know a laptop has a KB, but try coding on one compared to a kb your comforable with haha).
  
  Razor, in the only way an aussie could honestly say it - dickheads, how about thinking first? It doesnt hurt much after you get useto it, and i promise you in the long run it will actually become usefull!

  Re: Re: Re:

  Any copying it to my mp3 player is the other side of that coin. Why should i pay a theft tax when i purchased the item?
  
  If i purchase the song online, and burn it to cd to listen in my car, is that stealing?

  Were taught as chefs that sight is one of the most important pieces of a meal we serve, which is really driven home by this.
  
  Its the same principal if one of my apprentices serves one of my pans dish's badly, i can guarantee the customer's going to start out with a bad idea on the meal haha. (which is why i dont let apprentices serve my meals!)

• On the post: The Trademarking Of Duff Beer: How Fictional Trademarks Become Copyright Issues In The Real World

  

  marak ( profile ), 18 Feb, 2011 @ 10:20pm

  Id just like to point out that duff is actually a town in scotland where they produce whiskey(if i remember correctly).
  
  A quick search produced this:
  http://www.antiquebottles.com.au/page/shop/flypage/product_id/356/a/category/e/sales_ephemera_miscellaneous
  
  Im not sure if that particular whiskey is produced there, (and for the life of me cannot remember WHICH whiskey is produced in Duff), but im 99% sure that was the name of the location.
  
  Wouldnt this at least take the edge off any claim? And wasnt there something recently about calling sparkling white wine ''champagne'' due to the region restriction. EG a location in France called champagne was kicking up a stink of anyone else producing a similar product and calling it champagne?
