Is this like those biker babes who air brush their jubblies and walk round topless at burningman? Some sort of automated cup printer. Have they gone hi-tech?
OK, maybe I should have said 'downloads' not always illegal and not always crap quality.
There's always some 'clever' person who say ooooh subtitles, extras, blah, waffle -> you never thought of that! So? I don't need them. Therefore poor quality BT is ok. Hell, YouTube is OK too.
Mind you I live in the UK, so most films take 6 months to come out over here. 6 months is a long time to wait, especially when you could BT them in a few hours.
There's a whole profession of people writing text for advertisement.
What IS moraly wrong is presenting it as a personal opinion;
Everyone has their price. Say I asked you to put a link on your blog to my site and offered you $1,000,000. You'd do it. Then we start haggling.
Most companies have a price they will pay for good links to their site (non reciprocal and none of that rel="nofollow" shit) a lot of them say $100-$150 for a link.... how much do you think Microsoft is willing to pay for an entire article?
They are the richest company in the world.
I'd sell them my blog and let them carry on using my name. Then I'd retire to Hawaii and go surfing:)
I know our hobby is slagging of microsoft, but hey, copying Linux seems to be working out for them.
Oh, damn. My carefully crafted, pro microsoft reply, slipped into the usual M$ bashing. They are such an easy target. I can't help my self. Just like women drivers. I don't mean to joke at their expense, but sometimes the jokes, they slip out. I mean, I asked my girlfriend if my indicators were working and she said 'Yes. No. Yes. No.'
Oh My Fucking God. What a fucking surprise that is ripping us off.
Couldn't/. just have a big list of companies, the products they sell and then have a cron job that spews out posts about how company X rips off users with product Y?
We'll all be able to resurrect those old Blue Genes we have cluttering up the basement, hell, I've only got two, but now I can use them as a network file store, or run some simple C# or something.
Kirk has your back and he's got fucking proton torpedo's and an itchy trigger finger.
Actually, Luke Skywalker had the proton torpedos. Kirk had photon torpedos.
Shit. I've been found out.
Here, take my fake geek card and my thick glasses. I'll see myself out.
When Scotty did go down to the planet in Wolf in the Fold (for strippers, as a good engineer should), he was accused of murder. Lesson learned!
Yeah, it always seemed so unfair that he only got to enjoy some nekid flesh, when he could have gone on a wild prostitute sex and killing spree and be treated exactly the same.
I think we all agree, on shore leave from Enterprise - just go for it!
Cos, hey. Kirk has your back and he's got fucking proton torpedo's and an itchy trigger finger.
Hey! I live in the UK, where they can just look through my window with one of the ubiquitous CCTV cameras and just watch me browse the net...
...monitor my books, my mail...
...the rate at which I scratch my arse (there are by-laws that I won't go into, but let's just say if I do it more than 5 times in an hour and don't immediately go see the doctor, the para's turn up)...

What, like a 'c' cup?
Or bigger?

The internet will route around this breakage.
Just give it time to adapt.

Hey, lets all burn 3 CDs of mp3s each, and post it to random Belgans.
FILTER THAT, FUCK-WITS
:-P

So when we're all force to bend over and take it from Big Corp. Inc. at least we have an RSS feed to make us feel better?
:-P

Choose my own format, like BitTorrent?
... sorry I keep dragging that joke up, but why should I buy a new player when my PC works fine?

Microsoft need to make money. Not kill Linux.
If they could see a way to make more money by working with Linux, they'd do that. Hell, they're not that stupid ;-)
Just stating the obvious.

You think that us Cornish are going to let you emmits get in on our wrecking heritage? I don't think so.
At fifty bone a duck, that's going to work out better than fishing. Or working in some campsite.

I'm bored of numbers.
Take phone numbers - who the hell memorizes them any more. Give me URLs or email addresses, at least they are alpha numeric.
I think the story is mostly BS, just yahoo link baiting. I mean, how the hell would it actually work - and why would you want a web server in a chair?
Maybe niche market for factories, hospitals and places like that...

Yet another win for BitTorrent, which allows you to pick your favorite HD format!

Dudes!
CoolTechZone.com is the absolute bizz. You should stop reading all other 'tech news sites'.
Honestly, it is way better, totally the underdog. How can you believe anything these big corporate sites feed you?
shills, blatant adverts, misinformation?

Yeah, often under the story the tag would be 'wrong' which used to crack me right up.
I love slashdot group think sometimes. The total/agregate hive mind is way smart.
