I'm very glad you've decided to roll over for this, but how about considering the possibility that just maybe, some people don't like the idea of being treated the same as criminals by the country they've been living in for the last 20 years?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA....HAHA...ha...ha......wait, you mean you were actually serious with that thing about companies selling stuff cheaper to people that help distribute their product?
The internet is also very stable and I usually have bittorrent running 24/7 resulting in some 1000 GB transfer every month. That would be impossible here in Japan, because they seem to be a lot more draconian about what you may and may not do. For example I may not use P2P applications or use a lot of bandwidth (some examples given, chatting with webcam). In Sweden noone cares and everyone is just uploading stuff like there is no tomorrow; resulting in even faster backbones and better infrastructure since the ISPs must invest more to cope.
Oh bollocks. I regularly transfer large amounts of data (looking at the torrents I'm currently running, 150GB in the last three days). A few ISPs apparently cap connections, but only in the most excessive cases, and it's certainly nowhere as bad as it appears to be in the US.
Uh-huh. Then why the hell are they suing Sony? Sony doesn't really do much development of the physical media (that would be TDK), and they're sure as hell not the only manufacturer of the drives.
Since the patent in question is actually based on a prior-art patent that Sony filed, it sure looks like a case of "go for the deepest pockets" to me.
Shit, you should see it on my 1920x1200 LCD monitor.
I'd pay 20 bucks for an extension to D2 that updated its graphics to 2007 standards, even if they didn't change anything else (well, maybe a few bugfixes would be nice - like the friggin' Trang-Oul's FCR bug...)
"All the time stamps were screwed up. Some did (change over), some didn't," Charlton said. "Everyone's system had to be set manually. There were a lot of clocks involved."
Bit of a spelling mistake in there... s/clocks/cocks/
Let me put it this way: if I had your resume in front of me and it said "New graduate in Computer Science, with specialization in Media and certified as a Master Practitioner in the role of Communicator", it'd only spend as long on my desk as it took me to write "rejected" on it.
When I'm hiring, I'll figure out if you're a good communicator, etc., in the interview. What I want to know from your resume is your technical chops.
Might want to recheck the Digital Millenium Copyright Act if you're living in the States - deliberately breaching copyright protections such as exist on DVDs is indeed illegal.
So what? Copyright isn't like trademarks - you can pick and choose which infringements you want to prosecute, and it in no way reduces your rights to any other copyrighted works you own.

Uh... if your passport tells them exactly who you are, why do they need your fingerprints?

Yeah, RIGHT.

I spurned registration for a week and look what happened :(
Maybe it's that you have to hold utterly impractical views to be a Libertarian in the first place?
Dark Sun. Man, there was a gritty setting.
In fact, a Dark Sun MMORPG would be nice to see.

I'm fairly sure that it transparently moves data from "worn-out" blocks to fresh blocks automatically, so it should work across the whole drive.

Could it possibly be because the next version of Windows will require more than 4GB of memory to run? ;)
(Yeah, yeah, I know about PAE. It's a joke.)
Oh shut up, you nutbag. Really.
This isn't oppression of unappreciated genius, just avoidance of blatant idiocy.
You must not have been listening when your mother told you two wrongs don't make a right.
Just because the sentencing judge was a thieving asshole doesn't mean you're not.
Shitloads of it. Work harder.

You're misunderstanding the purpose of testing - it's there to help stable be stable, not to help sid be more.. um... unstable.
Sometimes I do 5GB+ in a DAY.
Thank God this stupidity hasn't spread outside the US yet.

I think you meant those to be the other way around...
