(Almost) Free Movies On-Line... Sorta

Snaller writes "See the latest movies on the net? Its possible - apparently the law in Taiwan says that for a movie to be protected by copyright law one has to apply for such protection within a month after the opening in the theaters. This rarely happens and as a consequence movie88 has opened a virtual movieplex: See any of their films for 1 dollar. The movie is streamed in a format that doesn't allow you to save it on the harddrive, but for that 1 dollar you can view it anytime and as much as you like for 3 days. The selection includes movies like "Shrek", "Legally Blonde","American Pie 2","Gone with the wind", James Bond and Batman." Yeah this'll last. Right. But it really demonstrates what TV will be like in the future when you have access to thousands of movies. And the buck a film rate strikes me as awesome. I'd watch a lot more movies if they were only a buck.

What is Linux good for?

[Serial Troller]

Linux is for GAY HOMOSEXUAL NEWBIES who can't figure out how to use Windows. And Slashdot is perfect for all you GAY HOMOSEXUAL NEWBIES to discuss it and bash a real OS that you're all too incompetent to figure out.

GAY HOMOSEXUAL NEWBIES. All of you.
