I know which is why I said "so they can support MPEG-2." As in they need that much space so they have the option to use MPEG-2 if they so choose. But yes you are correct BluRay players are also required to support h264.
I would like to personally thank you for further proving my point that Environmentalist will never be happy. Yes there is a chance toxins can leak into the water table which is why...
There are a lot of regulations on what land can be used for landfills.
Its either that or you use twice as much energy to reprocess waste into raw material then re-manufacture it (a process called recycling).
You Environmentalist will never be happy... Where are these hypothetical streams full of LCDs? When will they exist? If you throw things away it will be taken to a Landfill eventually buried under about 10 feet of dirt and usually have grass planted over it. There are a lot of regulations on what land can be used for landfills.
It's an interesting idea that it would be 'irresponsible' to release these documents in full.
I call dropping bombs on innocent people in Afganistan irresponsible. I call killing one million people in Iraq for oil and dollar supremacy irresponsible. If you are going to use conventional, State / MSM thinking to restrict and control your actions, then apply this thinking evenly; the State is dropping bombs on people for the 'greater good' (to 'spread peace and democracy') and so releasing these documents for the greater good of preventing millions of deaths is completely justified and not at all irresponsible. It is in fact, the only responsible thing to do, since more people will be spared a horrible death for no reason, than could possibly be harmed by the release of the information.
You're being very assumptive by saying releasing these documents would save lives they could just as easily get people killed. Don't get me wrong I support more freedom of information but neither of us have any idea whats in these documents.
Or you could just go the cheapest route and just get Harddrives. Sure they're a little more clunky but if your already spending thousands of dollars on storage space offsite physical storage space shouldn't be that much of an issue.
I normally don't care about people posting estimates in their posts that are a little off but seeing as your post is criticizing another for the same thing and then gets another estimate wrong. How do you get 3 to 6 HD movies in 150 GB? I understand a BluRay disk is 25-50 GB but they only need that much space so they can support MPEG-2 video. When you download stuff over the internet they use Codecs that are designed for the internet like H264. In this codec a good Quality 1080p movie with surround Requires at most 10 GB (really a lot less but lets assume worst case scenario). That's at least 15 Movies in 1080p.
They're not saying its unhackable they're saying g.co will only be used to link to Google services like Gmail or Google Maps and you won't be able to make links sites like Slashdot or Twitter. It's no more likely to be hacked than Google.com.
They may just be too lazy to figure out how to activate which can be pretty complex if you're not willing to pay. Which means they may be stuck with SP1 or even worse no service pack. I can't remember if Firefox 3+ requires a service pack or not but I know a lot of applications require Windows XP SP2.
The android phones you get with a contract are usually locked and loaded with 80 crappy apps and stupid custom UI that slows down your phone and drains your battery life. The only android phone I would consider buying would be a Nexus and last I checked it was $99.99 for a locked version with a contract or $500 unlocked.
But but but.... I'm not supposed to get an iPhone because I'll have to go to a website and press a button to unlock it. I'm supposed to just get android and pay 2x-6x more and have it unlocked to begin with.
Most of the thousand juggernauts you speak of are only juggernauts themselves because the patent system is the way it is. They'd much rather pay some miniscule fee than destroy their entire business model. It's going to need to get much worse before it gets better.
Yeah I understand that OS X is pretty far away from BSD (though it is based on it). But their are some Linux Graphics/UIs that are compatible ever heard of this little piece of software called X Window System.
From the 8th grade to the time I graduated from high school I went to military school. When I was a junior in high school our psychology teacher showed us the documentary about the Stanford prisoner experiment we were all unsurprised by the results. When people are put in this kind of sometimes it's like this other times it's not. It all depends on the people who are in charge. More likely than not the people in charge at Guantanamo Bay know what their doing. I'm not trying to defend Guantanamo Bay I'm just saying that may not be an accurate portrayal.
It's easy to say that but when it may be the only chance you get your entire career (as a music artist) its pretty hard to say no. Ever seen the movie Greenburg? It can really happen. Anyway it's not as bad for the artist as/. is making it out to be worst case this is the kind of deal you get on your first album. For your second album you can renegotiate. Not that they shouldn't be offering better terms to begin with.
It's more than the fact that the recording industry thinks they're a 500lb gorilla. They think people have an ethical obligation to do business with them their way... people don't.
Why would the Video Gaming industry discontinue their content rating system just because they stopped feeling the pressure from our Government? The Industry would only drop it if in some way it behooved them to drop it. Seeing as the content rating system is something that some of their costumers expect best case scenario they loose a few customers on principal by dropping it. It's not like it's that big of a deal to rate a game.
Yeah and they don't usually teach The Song of Salomon to kids in church... but stories of violence like the story of David and Goliath where David Bashes Goliath's head with a stone then decapitates him are favorites for children. Furthermore The Song of Solomon would be considered art.

I guess he thinks Apple is no longer relevant too since MacOSX/iOS are both based on BSD.

I for one welcome our new radiated Jellyfish overlords.
CD-RW?
I agree.
If you don't like the contract, don't sign it.

I think it was around the time of the Microsoft iPod.

Ah yes you got to love the correlation is causation argument it's a classic.
Yeah and they don't usually teach The Song of Salomon to kids in church... but stories of violence like the story of David and Goliath where David Bashes Goliath's head with a stone then decapitates him are favorites for children. Furthermore The Song of Solomon would be considered art.
He can buy it new again obviously.
Of course it has a second half the second quarter of the movie was the second half.
Or worse they'll mine Bitcoins and we'll have to hear about it here.
