  1. Re:Finally something worth updating PS3? on Disc-Free Netflix Streaming Arrives For the PS3 and Wii · · Score: 1

    You have a very interesting outlook on life. Funny, buy interesting.

  2. Re:Good luck with that. on Man Served Restraining Order Via Facebook · · Score: 0, Troll

    The summary says that he's a Facebook user and an online bully. It does not say that he bullied people on Facebook.

    Try reading the summary in the future. It might help you. Then again, it might not. I could bet either way.

    I'm not sure what fw it requires, but it just showed up under videos, then asked for permission to install when I clicked on it. It may have come in a recent fw update, but there's not a new fw update out tonight explicitly for it.

    Hey, is your name Ryan Fenton? I wasn't sure cause I have sigs turned off, but it's your user name and you included it as a pseduo-sig in your post. So are you Ryan Fenton cause I'm not totally clear.

    what TFA refers to isn't doomsday by 2030, but that in 2030, we will be using renewable resources twice as fast as they can be renewed. Which means that we are going to run out of lotsastuff one day, but exactly when is hard to estimate.

    TFA:

    According to the Living Planet Report, human demands on natural resources have doubled in under 50 years and are now outstripping what the Earth can provide by more than half; and humanity carries on as it is in use of resources, globally it will need the capacity of two Earths by 2030.

    Your stance certainly is not what the headline, TFS and TFA say. The key part is "now outstripping what the Earth can provide by more than half." now.

  6. Re:News Corp/Fox is out of control on News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision · · Score: 1

    You have a good point with the sponsor angle. If you consider that to mean commercials and not product placements, this situation is probably driving people towards piracy just as much as poorly implemented DRM schemes do.

  7. Re:Dish charging customers in the process. on News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision · · Score: 1

    FX isn't a premium package. It's like losing TBS, a very common station that shows both original and syndicated shows and films.

    We would end up with just the big channels that everyone likes.

  9. Re:News Corp/Fox is out of control on News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Your view is from the industry standpoint. As Joe User, both Dish and News Corp are losers and I am the third loser in this pissing match that I wanted no part of. I've now shifted my viewing patterns away from their shows with commercials and harbor animosity towards my provider. Now News Corp is warning that I may lose additional FOX related stations at the end of the month. Super! (yes I know about OTA, no I don't really give enough of a damn to buy an antenna for a local FOX affiliate)

    Here's a protip: you are way less cool than you think you are. Recipes with canned ingredients and everything. Although it sounds like you've already arrived at my suggestion, so thanks for coming out.

    I'll continue buying tomatoes of varying freshness from CSA to farmer market to nice grocery store to ghetto grocery store all season till they repeat per your enlightened holy schedule... And 90% will rot before I use em.

    This is set up by a local admin, it's not global prevention on every machine they produce. Although copying US currency will usually result in bizarre output, it isn't the same.

    Didn't you get the memo? IT is supposed to enforce people doing their jobs, not "managers." But, that sounds like really poor efforts at spam filtering.

    Look at something like the F-22

    Ah yes, the plane with pilots that wake up daily and say "fuck off physics, I'm gonna do what I want."

    No other country can match that jet and we don't export it. It coulda been more expensive and I would be okay with it.
