If anyone thinks a bad camcorder copy of a screener will keep someone from going to see a film, then they are a complete and total idiot. 90% of the "pirated" movies on the internet are really low quality screeners or early edits that have crap audio and video quality. And these same videos are the ones the MPAA are claiming HURT their income. Where in fact it helps their income. When you are looking at dropping $40-$80 to go see a movie in the theater, Yes $40 is a realistic number, I recently paid that to take my wife to see SkyFall, you will have people that will not see a film unless they are sure it is not crap.
But the executives out there are so under educated they cant see marketing that is working for them. Now we have metrics that show that "pirated" films do in fact increase sales....
After my experience of taking my wife to a movie opening, I'm not going back again. The movie was OK, but smelling the disgusting feet of a unbathed idiot in the row behind, me or the rude idiots that must text on their phones through the movie as well as the sticky seating and floor means I'll watch them at home when they ome out on BluRay. My theater at home has better sound anyways....
Yup. Grandma grew up in the 20's and she would always spit at a police officer. Usually on the ground but in the cops direction in disrespect. Cities like Chicago and NYC are Legendary in their history of all the cops being dirty corrupt or just plain old scumbags.
Your local Police department is no different than your local Street Gang.. Except the street gang is more honest, they let you know they are out to get you, the Police use the lie of "we are here to help"....
You cant. If you are a cop you are IMMUNE from any and all civil and legal lawsuits in regards to anything you do on duty. If it was "in the line of duty" and he mows down 5 children.... the cop get's a bonus and a paid vacation while they "investigate"
I should be able to after a judge throws something out to be able to sue the cop directly. Make that fucker pay for my lawyer fees, my lost time, and pain and suffering out of his paycheck.
That will make a cop think twice before being a "I AM A COP THEREFORE I AM A GOD" asshole and doing anything wrong.
But then I also believe an off duty cop that speeds or breaks a law should lose his job permanently.
The crime is that he cant sue the Cops that arrested them directly. If cops had to pay for their crimes they would be less like assholes and more like civilized people.
Access to all three are fixed by design and prevents anyone from stopping for any reason other than an emergency or outright stupidity...
In america, most emergency stops happen on the very wide shoulders. Everything else happens because of the complete morons that have ZERO drivers training in the middle of the freaking road. Like the morons with the giant pickup trucks that are in the fast lane and STOP in the fast lane to use the service road turnaround because they are too lazy or stupid to go to the next exit and do it safely. For some reason it's always an idiot in a pickup truck or SUV. I have never seen a small sports car do it.
The fun part is these idiots cause risk to others by stopping in the speed lane and then turn into the other sides speed lane at very slow speeds, typically forcing people to slam on the brakes to avoid plowing into the morons.
Why? The COPS have that exact same setup and they screw around with the laptop while driving. And I can guarentee that cops are not "expert" drivers that can do that safely.
How about we demand the police stop doing the exact same thing.
This will GUARANTEE it will be made. It is now a military project, warp cruise missle, set it to the destination via a nice long route and have it drop out of warp near the other planet or star...... KABOOM!...

Its a home invasion, not a raid.. Stop sugar coating police activity.
Lemon juice water fights rock!
And go around breaking the legs of those that make fun of smarts. It's time for a nerd uprising with violence. Hair trigger nerd rage violence.....
as long as you are talking peanut butter..... you got it...

Computer Scientists create things like linux.
Software Engineers create things like Windows 8.
Not trolling, This is a complete fact. Far more high level CS degrees are working on linux and OSS than Windows 8.
Except the Skinhead territory in South East berlin...

That just tells me that being around cops is dangerous.... So avoid police that are in numbers.

Freaking A, take that Omicron Persei 8!
"Is there ANYONE that pushes updates in a reasonable manner?"
Yes, My Nexus HSPA+, my new Nexus 4, and My Nexus 7 get updates instantly.
You cant call it android unless it is the current version or the previous version. Anything older can NOT be called or branded android in any way.
Suddenly the Lazy bums at HTC and Sony will actually use the latest OS for their phones and push out updates.
Alphabetical author, then alphabetical title. Lending? no way in hell any of my precious is leaving my library...
Or of you want to make a large collection book owner cry.... By color then size.
"Read in the bathtub without worry of losing more than about $12 and the time Amazon takes to ship? Check"
Only if you buy cheap paperbacks. I buy leather bound signed 1st editions. A couple of my books are worth more than a 64gig new ipad.
"Android comes in so many different varieties. I need a slideout keyboard - no problem, lots of choices."
Exactly, if you want a phone with a horribly out of date OS, Android has you covered!
The fact that you can find NEW phones running Gingerbread or earlier is a complete joke.
And the S3 does not run Android 4.2 unlike my $299 Nexus... Making my Nexus superior to the SIII in every way.... right now.
I would if most of those were at a current OS version. Hell even 4.0... but 90% are still at nothing higher than 2.3.5 and that is utter crap.
I love my Nexus, but I feel really bad for peopel that bought a phone from a crap maker that will not push out updates in a timely manner.
Privoxy runs on OpenWRT and does everything you need.
It wont. He is making money off of taking it commercial and is ignoring the public DD-WRT. Pick up OpenWRT, it's far more advanced now than DD-WRT
