I had a 150GB cap with AT&T, and it was really easy to get 140GB. That's counting Netflix AND bittorrent for TV, since we got poor antenna reception there (we had to download local shows over the Internet because it usually wouldn't record).
Since moving to an area with better reception and less time for Netflix, I average 50-80 GB per month. And here I have a 250GB cap with cable.
Which is why they want to move to an all-streaming model like Ultraviolet. With nobody buying DVD's or Blu-Rays, there's no physical media in distribution to be rented. The only way to fight Redbox is to wean consumers off physical media.
The reason they tell you to stow it is so that they don't have to argue with passengers on whether the device is on or not (as the passenger secretly tries to use it).
Although the Kindle's especially interesting. They show a picture on the screen when they're off. It takes zero electricity to hold the picture on the screen. There's a reason the Kindle's battery lasts a month with wireless off.
. Then there's the lack of color space since most LCD's are using a 6 bit with 8 bit color being considerd high end - that's not better theny my CRT TV that handles 32bits - it's a meager 256 colors (no better then web safe) and I've been running 32bit color since I got my first dedicated video card (TNT2-m64 w/32mb) back with Win95.
6-bit color is not 256 colors. It's 6-bits per channel, which is 262,144. Not great, of course, but still mostly good except for banding in color gradients.
Typically, simple chord progressions are not original enough to be considered copyrightable. You need to hire a million monkeys to generate music, and if they manage that before moving on to Shakespeare, then you might have a case.
And yet if an algorithm is applied to translate it to notes, that algorithm is a work of art, isn't it? A picture of 300 digits of pi in comic sans is copyrightable. If two pieces of music were based on pi and didn't sound the same, then sure - one can't sue the other for infringement. The standard octatonic scale is a fact, and yet new combinations of those manage to be copyrightable music.
Yes, I get that. But I watched The Catherine Tate Show AFTER her run as Donna. If there was a reference in DW, I wouldn't have noticed, and I'm asking if I should go back and watch it now or if there's no reference to the Catherine Tate Show at all in there.
Actually, the best part of Catherine Tate playing companion was introducing me to her as an actress. Because of her role, I ended up watching The Catherine Tate Show on Netflix - hilarious.
An empty box would track with a weight of 0lbs. and a few ounces. UPS keeps record of that for a reason. Fill it up with rocks, and they'll see rocks when they open the box and know it was intentional fraud.

If Hollywood can sell to the 90% that are easily reached, I think they'd be perfectly happy increasing their profits and cut off the 10% remaining.

Must be a small Wal-Mart to not carry wine these days.

And when modern planes replace all less-modern planes, you'd have some weight to that argument.

And the creators of The Simpsons have yet to sue Usher over him stealing their song.

Wait, so your liver has to convert to salicylic acid AND dispose of it later? That sounds like doubling the load on the liver to me.

Yeah, it took me 3 tries reading that bit to realize what they were saying.
Thanks. Now I'm going to lose half my day reading Steven Moffat posts on rec.arts.drwho - someone mod parent post up. It's fascinating to see.
Wait...did that actually happen? Did I miss that?

Then it wouldn't work at the locker room either unless they don't have a door.
Considering clothing is thinner than walls, why do you need a locker room?
And I wish I had mod points, too. That's great.
And then the tech industry moves on to start using Hollywood Accounting.
Yeah, they only have $100 billion in cash. Good thing they have an interest-free loan to solve their cash problems...
