It takes me on average 5 minutes to find the TV Show I want and 40 Minutes to download an episode in very good quality. If I wanted I could double the time to get it in HD.
Releasing on DVD before TV is a bad business decision.
To get the most money you want as many people as possible to watch on TV for advertising money and then once you got that money you want them to pay again for the DVD.
If you release the DVD first the people that bought the DVD are unlikely to watch it on TV meaning you lose money.
However selling it online the moment the show ends would be nice.
I don't have a problem with whitelists as such. The wonderful addon to Firefox called NoScript is whitelist based and seems to work fine. Everything is blocked until you choose to unblock it.
If you look at the video they first try to remove him rather peacefully by just grabbing him by the arms and moving him. Then he starts screaming and resisting so they start to push him towards the exit.
Once they're near the exit he tries to break through them towards the podium so they wrestle him to the ground. Once there he keeps trying to get loose and keeps screaming.
Then they tell him repetedly.
"Stop resisting or you will get tased"
After he keeps resisting for a while they just give up and tase him.
he was CLEARLY resisting arrest and making a scene. When I read the summary I was on his side but after the Video...
Actually most countries copyright laws give the consumers the right to do whatever they want with the content for personal use. DRM is violating that right.
Could be because, you know, people care more about content then their moral principles since most people on slashdot can defeat the DRM with their eyes closed?
In Sweden it's very hard to get hold of a gun and we also have very few gun crimes. Generally it's rather hard to start a massacre using a woodcutting axe.
Shooting at round circles on a piece of paper isn't really a legitimate use. I wouldn't mind outlawing longbows but their killing power is way less then a gun and I think the amount of people killed by longbows the last 20 years is rather tiny.
An Axe or Chainsaw are both legitimate tools and a chainsaw is a lot less efficient in real life then in movies.
However when it comes to the U.S I think they already have way to many weapons about to be able to make them illegal now.
the new content is way more fun then the old content, seriously I once did molten core at the same time I played Warcraft 3 and still performed adequately. The new raids require a lot more attention and skill and that maeks it alot more fun, sure there is no room for slackers but why would you want to play with slackers anyhow. As long as everyone in your raid knows what they're doing you won't wipe particularly much. A lot of guilds currently have Karazhan on PUG.
PRE TBC: "Waaah, we can't get 40 people to raid, waaah, we're skilled, honest, if you just give us a really hard small dungeon with raid quality loot we'll be happy"

Europshopper isn't crap, their water is the only thing I bother to drink. Their other products are also fairly decent.
Anyhow when it comes to store comparisons you have to pick a product everyone have (ie: brand). You could propably do a second round of tests where you compare each stores own product (everyone has one nowadays). It's mainly up to the consumer to test for quality anyhow since taste is very subjective.
When it comes to OS's everything is also very individual specific and I don't think there exist any "one suits all" solution (except that if you're a gamer you're only option is windows grr)
The job of the police is to lower the crime rate overall. The means they use to do so vary.
They attempt to both prevent crimes from happening and catching criminals after the crime. The prevention is usually just having a visual presence though.
The point is that if Sweden and Norway can get high speed internet into the wilderness then the US should at least be able to get high speed internet into their cities.
The fact that the country is larger shouldn't make it more difficult as such. Making a large network is just connecting two smaller ones no?
I would love to have that ability. I hope my ISP decides to offer that soon, the closest we have here is that some ISP's have started to offer 21/3 instead of 24/1.
Monopolies aren't bad as such, the Swedish infrastructure was built by a state owned monopoly and is probably the reason almost all of Sweden can get access to 10-24 mbit down 1 mbit up bandwidth. However the rule is that the owner of the infrastructure has to allow everyone else access for a modest fee.
The fiber network is a lot less spread though since it's not really financially viable to drag fiber out into the wilderness.
Well, Death Knights are defined as the opposite of paladins. They should have mostly the same spells as the paladins do only opposite, harming instead of healing, stealing life from allies etc. I wonder if they dare give them that kind of abilities though considering the griefing factor.
Anyhow, Paladins are defined as Warrior/Priest so exchanging the Priest for Warlock should get you a Death Knight. Especially considering that the power of animating the dead is demonic.

Then I'll be happy :=)
With 24 hours after the US episodes they're probably 23 hours behind the pirates.
I think that will most likely be covered. I don't think the warranty actually states how you're allowed to use the car.

I think what Gutmann said is that if you play any DRM'd media all your other media gets degraded too because Vista does it all or nothing style.

You need to retake your reading comprehension classes.
He said that not everyone is a responsible gun owner, not that the majority isn't responsible.
Well, Microsoft might make a deal with the ISP's so it's still them paying for the bandwidth cost but it'll be cheaper since it's distributed.
Also I think it's implied that cost savings on bandwidth is meant to be converted into cheaper and or better services.
I agree that Mag seems a bit to complex and unforgiving for the place he is at, that complexity should wait until at least TK or black temple imo.

Wasn't that the whole point.

Seriously .
Most people don't want freedom and complexity, they want fun.
Case in point.
Wii and WoW.

heh, So you're trying to say they're actually doing something usefull o.O?
Isn't it rather stupid to make your computer less secure solely because you think the creator of the security program isn't morally righteous?
