seeing that they will own the whole kit-n-kaboodle(right?), there is a good chance they will release the original versions. they are bigger whores than lucas and sales will be a sure thing.
It's not right to try to characterize an entire group of people by the actions of just a few of them. Especially if they aren't even part of a centralized organization.
so the epicly vast majority muslims that have never done anything remotely like this are actually not actually muslims? or, are they still muslims, in the sense that christians, that do not follow every tenant of leviticus (as they should be, after all), are still christians? i am confused. what percentage of a faith's teachings must you follow to be considered a follower of said faith? i really want to know.
i guess we should extend that to any and all murder related pictures and videos, too. which just leads us to dramatized acts of those things...damn this slope is slippery.
or to choose any input as the pip. i was so disappointed when the only option was the coax input. let me overlay any of the hdmis (i use my tv as my monitor, as well). perhaps this does work on higher end sets?
unless you can get the books at like 10% of the what the physical copy would cost... used. or maybe i'm mistaken and these digital goods have finally gotten all of their physical counterparts traits such as non-timetable-based lending to friends & the doctrine of first sale(and much, much cheaper as time goes on, for the most part). if none of that has happened, why bother with them? the convenience is minimal compared what you give up, and, yes, i do apply the same reasoning to music, movies, and games. unless they get cheap enough to reflect what consumers are losing, they should be nowhere near the same price.
i guess what i mean is that anything i could have dvred should be available in the same quality for the entirety of my subscription. that is not asking a whole lot. throw some commercials in it and the content providers get paid. (side note: one of by biggest beefs with comcast's on demand stuff in when the commercials during the show are for the show i am watching. man! that show looks really good. maybe i should wat...oh... fucking derp. no wonder this industry has so much idiocy.)
it's not that we are cheap. it's that we want what we pay for. my example:
i started watching White Collar on netflix last year. netflix had seasons 1 & 2. after i was done, i realized that season 3 was already halfway done airing. there was no way to watch the first couple of episodes, and i have a subscription to comcast (95% of its offerings). "i'll wait it out", i said to myself. low and behold it's now 2012. i see a commercial for season 4 coming to tv in a few months. "great! that means season 3 should be available, so i can catch up in time". nope. i even had a subscription to hulu plus this time. so here i was forking over money to 3 different subscription services and not 1 will give me what i want. hulu's website eventually got season 3, in low bitrate, website only streaming. (side note: these idiot companies can't even realize that streaming == streaming. they have to have different licensing for computer and phones/consoles/other devices. that is fucking retarded.) anyway, i found they were also streaming from usanetwork.com in slightly better quality. i did cancel my hulu plus, because they weren't giving me what i wanted. after watching about half of the episodes on the website, i stumbled across them in the comcast hd on demand folder and finished them up in the quality i have been paying for. what did learn? i'm paying way too much for way too little. next time, i am going to just torrent the stuff. after all, i am already paying for them, so why the fuck not. i'm surely not going to pay dvd prices for itunes' drm shit that i can't lend/sell/etc when i am done. if they are going to remove what i can do with the stuff, they are going to have to be a lot cheaper that $1.99/episode. it's not even a matter of convenience anymore with the ubiquity of the internet these days.
it is the same reason that adobe doesn't sell older versions of photoshop for much, much cheaper. they could easily make money by offering the older stuff for 25-50% off, but they know that more and more would just wait it out, so it would end up eating into their current version profits. personally, i think they should've started doing that instead of releasing their 'elements' lines.
well i do agree, although there are some scene releases that would make me think twice.
obversely, i would like to see blu-ray's space utilized for older, standard def tv shows, fitting a whole season on 1 disc.
too true. if the saudis had freedom and choice instead of a fucking kingdom (in this day and age?), they'd have far more opportunities to vent their frustration than wahabism and the like. we should be dropping porn and booze instead of bombs.
all media that distributes digitally shares this problem. of course, some smug asshat would reply that "because the system is not wholly digital distribution, the companies still have to make up for the stuff on retail shelves". i personally call bullshit on that, as the price should reflect the distribution logistics on a sale-to-sale basis. face it, even at 100% digital distribution, the prices will still not reflect anything but imaginary numbers these idiots make up.
On the side of Marijuana, there is a slight lung cancer risk
that's only from smoking it. i'm sure plenty of smokers would rather turn to ingestion-based consumption. most don't currently because it is a p.i.t.a. process to do it yourself and such a miniscule amount of dealers sell edibles.

then why on earth aren't public schools buying these calculators like they do the books? or are they? i have no idea.
taking a guess, but because of shitty government contracts they must use brand x from company z (who did donate all that campaign cash, after all).
unless his company was bought out by someone who cares more for money that his own 'vision'.

like most muslims?

perhaps this will lead to some decent pc platformers that aren't just shitty ports.

exactly. it has nothing to do with an "optical illusion". one pours down the gullet in a more efficient manner is all.
the HD and internet are there to sell you dlc and patch buggy, rushed-to-market games; the rest is just happenstance

it violates the social media sites terms of service, so you can't share the password. simple.
