Strictly speaking, it is free, in that it's a free download from the OS vendor's website. It's as "free" as Safari; in fact, more so, since the cost of hardware that OS X runs on is considerably more than Windows gear.
"Morph" was a clay-mation character who appeared on UK kids tv from 1978 onwards. He was animated by Aardman Animations (who later went on to make "Wallace and Gromit" and "Chicken Run") and appeared on shows with Tony Hart (recently interviewed by b3ta)
Firstly, iTunes.com doesn't sell MP3 files -- their music is in AAC format, which is only authorised to play under some circumstances.
Secondly, it depends on what you mean by "legal". Does anybody know anybody who has been successfully prosecuted for transferring CDs they own to MP3 format? Because what matters when you talk about "legal"/"illegal" behaviour is any precendent which is applicable to your situation.
It seems inevitable when you hear someone describing something like this as "illegal", they're either a member of the RIAA or Apple or somebody with a distinct interest in making sure you buy separate copies for every purpose, or somebody who is under the impression that any copying is wrong (I'm looking at you, Grandma) and that "fair use" is bollocks.
This is all a bit hijacked -- I think what you mean to ask is whether there are places you can buy MP3s from on the internet. The answer, as posted elsewhere, is "Yes".
These points are small and probably uneccessary corrections, but this is/. and if it weren't for petty corrections, the signal-noise ratio would be way better. The usual IANAL/YMMV disclaimers apply to this situation as well.
Now, I don't know what kind of ISPs they have in New Zealand, but 1MBps shouldn't be that hard to achieve!
Yeah, but these are being used in the middle of nowhere (or, in New Zealand parlance, the wop-wops), where line integrity and signal/noise ratio makes an internet connection of suitable bandwidth unlikely.
Broadband is experiencing a very slow pick-up through New Zealand; one of the reasons is that it is prohibitively expensive in some parts of the country to get set up, if it's actually available at all.
If you RTFA, the owner/operation actually says "We don't have phone lines and telephone exchanges of sufficient quality to transmit the data, so we came up with the pigeon concept."
In conclusion, using pigeons under these circumstances makes sense.
I've had to upgrade to the latest version (0.74f) of Trillian Basic, but it's working just fine -- chatting with someone at the moment in fact. It wasn't working earlier when I was still on version 0.74d but the later version seems to have sorted it out. It's also connecting to Yahoo! successfully as well (something the earlier version had stopped doing).
This is nothing new. I have CDs I got from Sunday papers in the UK from a couple of years ago. They are mostly music CDs, but some also have "embedded multimedia" (read: Flash interfaces to Quicktime files).
Weta are already working on other films: Master and Commander and Hellboy are two that I know of, although I don't know whether the work is shared over both the workshop and the digital shop.
Accenture is Andersen Consulting, which is a totally separate entity to Arthur Andersen, the no-longer-with-us accountancy firm. Just as (what was) Monday was nothing to do with PriceWaterhouseCoopers the accountants (I believe) and KPMG Consulting is NOT the same as KPMG LLP the accountants.
I'm frustrated by the lack of concrete answers. That's probably the point, mind you -- give some insight on your working behind whatever answer you give.
It seems for most of them, the best answer would be as many sensible answers as you can think of, without seeming like a complete goober -- you can be the whizziest math whiz in the world, but that's probably not worth jack at any job worth its salt if you're most backward social 'tard who doesn't know when to stop.
a lot of "extra features" (commentaries, documentaries, trailers) are licensed for one particular market, so can't appear on discs destined for other regions for legal purposes
certain zones cover a whole heap of different languages, and more subtitle / alternate soundtracks mean more physical disk space is required. As a result, some "extra features" may disappear to make room for these other languages (you may also find that the bitrate encoding of the film is also significantly less on these disks as well). This can also be applied to the differences between NTSC and PAL/SECAM pictures.
Why the manufacturers don't just make different language releases, I don't know (presumably to keep costs down), but for whatever purpose, they have divvied up the zones along language lines, as well as geographical and release date-ical.
That DVD thing's wrong. Every set-top DVD player offered for sale here in NZ is Region 4 encoded.
That said, every store I know of (that's *every* store) will 'multi-zone' your machine for about NZ$100 (US$40). I don't know anybody with a DVD player still stuck at Region 4.

Netscape 1.1 featured more heavily in the scene when Hunt (Tom Cruise) got back to the hotel room (after their sting went awry), and started searching for clues on the internet.
I remember he typed in 'job' (as in The Book of Job), and it returned zero matches. That's one crappy search engine.
Macrovision is implemented for both Pal and NTSC -- there's not a lot of difference between the two, other the timing of the blanking interval (the fraction of time when the electron gun is turned off between writing lines).
And not to get really picky or anything, but Steve Whitmire has performed Kermit since Jim Henson's death, not Brian Henson. http://us.imdb.com/Name?Whitmire,+Steve
