Seriously, if you can spend thousands boozing yourself up each year, you can't make the excuse that you're too poor to buy DVDs. Of course you can. Booze can't be downloaded. Neither can a cure for HPV!
This is nothing new: there was never any physical impediment to sitting down with a paper book and a Xerox machine, or even writing it out by hand. But it was laborious and time-consuming, sufficiently so that few people bothered. It was easier and cheaper to just buy a copy of the book. woo hoo! I'm one of the few! I'm special! My life has meaning!
Well, I'll be goddamned. It appears, based on a quick search, you are right.

Working with Windows 3.11 Regedit "Windows 3.1 registry??", you may ask. Believe it or not, but the registry first came with Windows 3.1, not Windows 95. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must perform seppuku for this shameful display of my ignorance.:)
Granddaughter: I want an iPod for Christmas! Grandmother: Okay, honey!
Later that day, grandmother has a sudden attack of sticker shock at the price of the iPod and asks if there's something "like it" for cheaper. The clerk, with a "someone's going to be disappointed this Christmas" smirk on his face, hands her a heavily discounted Zune. The grandmother, not knowing any better, purchases said Zune.
Come Christmas morning, the granddaughter rushes to the Christmas tree to find the box containing her brand new iPod. Upon ripping off the wrapping paper, she realizes... she got a Zune.
At this point, she has two choices: demand a return for an iPod (usually out the question, since insulting grandmother may cut off any future birthday cash) or she'll feign excitement (a skill nearly all women are born with) and start secretly plotting to kill her grandmother.
Moral of the story: if you're a grandparent and you don't want to die at the hands of your sweet, loving granddaughter... don't buy a Zune!
Creationism / "Intelligent Design" / "God Did It!" isn't science.
The world will be a much better place once the big three (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are held in the same regard as the old Greek and Roman pantheons.
"I have ${cert} so I'm qualified to make six figures! Hire me or your company will wither and die!" Dude. I'm so stealing that. Hello new slogan for my business card!
'Imagine how creepy it would be to wander into a co-worker's cubicle and discover the wall covered with tiny photos of everyone in the office, ranked by 'friend' and 'foe,' with the top eight friends elevated to a small shrine decorated with Post-It roses and hearts.' Sounds perfectly normal to me.
The judge wrote, "The [subpoena's] chilling effect on expressive e-commerce would frost keyboards across America." "Chilling effect"? "Frost keyboards"?
Oh, man, I want this guy if I'm ever in trouble with the law.

Scream "fair use" and "backing up" all you want, but you don't have a "right" to rip a CD.
:)
Most CDs clearly state something to the effect of: Unauthorized duplication prohibited.
That includes ripping and making a copy - both fall under the "duplication" part, you see.
Not saying I agree with the situation, but you can't deny reality.
Go ahead and mod me to hell because I've gone against what you want to hear.
zing!
If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English.
I was thinking about getting a "My Book" for someone this Christmas, but if this is the sort of shit they're up to....
it's sure to pass!
How could you vote against something called the "SAFE Act"?
That would be like voting against something called the "USA PATRIOT Act"!
Someone call Richard C. Hoagland!

There's just something about it.... I can't explain it, but it's the most hilarious thing I've heard in a long time.
Not attacking you or questioning what you said, but it just sounds funny.
Again, thank you for the laugh.

Solar panels + satellite dish + webcam + weather station + time = possible answer(s).
Playing grab ass in the dark isn't going to bring us any closer to the truth.
Neat! I've always wanted to be part of a conspiracy! ;D
reality is a threat.
Wrong fucking story, man.
What if your nickname is something like SexyChic14f and you're a 30 year old guy? Will that help?
How about urcreepyneighbor?
