Not true. Beta failed because of VHS was cheaper. HD-DVD failed because of the PS3 blueray penetration..gif failed because of licensing. DVD didn't really have any competition...
Your kidding yourself. Even when our OWN government invades our privacy and rights - nobody here bothers to die for those either. \. and most of the rest of us here are couch and side-line talkers anyway. I accuse myself with this statement too.
Every place I have ever lived, there has been a movie rental place either closer than, or the same distance as the grocery store (and that's in Canada!). If you seriously have problems renting a movie, how do you buy your groceries?
It wan't his son, it was his *STEP*son. Big difference...

Cheaper how exactly? Even if you could get BR discs at $2 each, it would cost $80/TB, and I havn't seen BR discs even close to that cheap. That doesn't include the writer which I belive are still $400. For the cost of the writer alone, you could purchase 5TB of HDD.
Stomach acid is very corrosive. If they left it, it's likely that any exposed PCB traces would be gone. Plus, why would you wait a day or two when you could risk a potemtial criminal's live by forcing them to undergo unnecessacary surgery?
Your analogy sucks... Break and enter is a serious crime compared to theft because there could be people inside, and someone could get hurt. Also, with break and enter you are invading someone's personal space, which is not the case with DRM bypassing.
A better analogy would include a car and would go something like this... It would be like if you bought a car that would require an oil change every 6 months but once the 6 months had expired, your car would not work at all until you changed the oil again. You, being a knowledgeable, handy, and attractive male, attempt to change the oil filter yourself, only to find that you can't use any filter, you have to buy their filter, or your car won't start. In addition to being knowledgeable, handy, and attractive, you also happen to be clever and dismantled the original oil filter, and used parts of it to make your car start regardless of the unapproved oil filter. You hop in and pull onto the street, only to be pulled over and given a $250,000.00 fine by the most evil cop ever (likely a T-1000).
What? You don't make any sense... How are the providers supposed to deliver their OMG HD SO PRETTIES video without fat pipes? I predict nice download speeds, and crappy upload speeds. Something like we already have.
The mesh will never happen. It's a chicken-egg thing. Going point-to-point is too pricey, broadcast has crappy distance, and who get's to pay for the intercity links?
Welcome to Internet 2.0, or as I like to call it, iINTERNET.
I think that deja vu is a memory anomoly or something odd with chemicals in the brain... I get a deja vu about once per year (it seemed more common when I was a kid... Just me??) and it is a very stong feeling of knowing what will happen. It feels like I could announce to the room that some action would happen, but I have never actually been able to do it... It seems like it is just on the tip of the tounge, but just out of reach. Has anyone been able to announce a reasonaby random event before it happened while experiencing a deja vu? Something like "Bob will walk in though that door now" or "Bob is going to spill his drink".
I'm confused... Are you saying that Asprin is not a drug, or that it is dangerous? Drugs are not necessarily dangerous... No question, there are dangerous drugs, just like there are harmless ones. The problem is that the gov't/schools tells you that ALL drugs are bad and will kill you if you even touch them. Then when kids try pot, the see that the gov't was lying, and think that maybe the gov't was lying about the cocaine too, so they try it.

You were LUCKY to have a sun. In my day all we could stare at was hydrogen clouds, and we liked it!

We were LUCKY to go barefoot! In my town, we would wrap our feet in barbed wire for traction.
Now get off my lawn you damn kids!

Ars had a story yesterday about Cisco: Cisco: Internet to change forever Tuesday (place your bets!)
Is this the thing that will change the internet??

Microsoft Security Essentials is free too, and works pretty good.

Was it still turned on when it exited the dryer?
and the battery would be charged!
Has anyone else noticed a decrease in the frequency of deja vu as they get older? I think that the peak was when I was about 13-14. Just curious....

Maybe not directly, but you can feed that omelet to a chicken, and then take the resulting egg.
You can just call it "god wins law".
I'll see myself to the door.
