Except that they still pay for cable TV and they still watch commercials on it. If anyone's learned a lesson from the move to cable TV it's the networks learning that people will do both.
Yet, somehow in the 1950s the record companies got copyright law to let them screw over the artists, making phonorecordings automatically "works for hire".
No, but there are tanks, right? Mechanical tanks which are designed to absorb quite a bit of damage that would normally kill the clothies... I mean foot soldiers.
I agree with you that more than likely, we'll eventually end up with a use-based billing scheme. The issue I see is that it seems the ISPs want to keep the "normal" users at the current pricing, and simply charge more for the "heavy" users. If it's usage based, some people will use less, which ought to mean they get charged less since they no longer pay part of the bill for the heavy users, which would mean less money in the pockets of your ISP.
I thought about this too, and I am definitely not an expert, but the datacenter is probably going to be generating the same amount of waste heat. Isn't it six of one, half-dozen of another whether that waste heat goes into the air or the water?
That's really done actually, at least it was at one point. The main rotors were held on with explosive bolts, IIRC, so that they could destruct before the pilot got to them.
Seeing the Olympic is an international event you might be able to foreign websites to view streaming video as long as you don't mind it not being in your native language.
There, fixed that for you.
Also, consider that if you speak or are learning a second language, it might be a beneficial experience to watch in a foreign language.

My DVR says hi.
What does it make me then, if I'm pretty sure this bill would be a horrible idea and shouldn't be enacted regardless of the party in power?
Stop giving them ideas!

Don't ask me what salat means, though. I have no idea.
Salad. At least in german.
Quit giving them ideas!
They should also turn my basement stairs into a playground slide while they're at it.
Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how many children were killed on playground slides during that time frame?

By using money, I'm guessing?

Sure it is, it's going to 0.
Never quite going to get there of course, but if you tell me how close you want to be, I can tell you how long it will take to get there.

Motion seconded.
This is government. As far as stupidity is concerned, they go to 11.
Hopefully not, as I just did the same, and then hoped that you were correcting it.
But will it be televised?
And of course, nothing illegal is ever done.
Not me, with the price of silver bullets skyrocketing these days.

No, they invented the Mighty Mouse so we'd have a nipple to play with all day long.

I thought that they were not ever going to sell online, what with the mandatory in-store activation now.
