So how long before there is a bollywood musical on this?
That's not a bad idea. Plus, given Bollywood's prodigious output, it's very likely to happen. Should be interesting to see what the choreographers come up with to choreograph those Indian dance moves in big shiny space suits.
Most of the big private trading groups do it this way, although burned DVDs are cheaper and easier to mail. Mind you, this was an mp3 trading group I was part of. For movies, HDs might make more sense.
It honestly seems to me that the distinction between server OS and desktop OS is its own entire discussion; if we can come to a good notion of what either means
I don't think the desktop/server distinction means anything anymore, and for three reasons. One, cheap commodity hardware. Two, the literal glut of software. Apache too bloated? Use lighttpd. KDE overblown? Use fluxbox. And three is (open) standards (no sniggering in the back,please.) When everything uses TCP/IP or XML or whatnot, interoperability increases exponentially.
Simply put, we have power and flexibility at easy disposal. What you do with it is up to you.
-LEDs are bright and clear
-Key Image Editing is quick and painless (use your graphic editor of choice)
-Still some quirks to work out with Macs
-High-quality parts and construction
-Requires extra strength for keypresses, so unsuitable for typing more than a few minutes.
Prime time network TV does not have "several repeats a week"
True, I might be exaggerating a bit, but a lot of major network shows get rebroadcast on basic cable, sometimes in the same week. Plus, anything that makes it to 3 seasons now has a ridiculously good chance of getting picked up for syndication somewhere. Last, but not least, there's so many niche channels and nostalgia channels, just 1 decent season of episodes is enough to get you a least a couple of re-runthroughs.
That's still not counting "encore presentations" and marathons and actual bona fide repeats during a given season.
As the AC said a few posts down, yes, British TV has followed the American model with at least several repeats a week of most shows. But there's still plenty of documentaries and specials and such that are never (or very rarely) replayed and that don't get released on DVD.
They don't have this problem in the States (less documentaries coupled with a willingness to flog everything everywhere).
simple - if you make money off it, it's piracy, unless you negotiate a distribution license. Everything else is fair use.
Well said. Simple and equitable. As the laws surrounding copyright get more and more complicated, we can only hope a similar 'hard reset' will eventually have to occur.
Ars wonders how the Burton authors can so blithely overlook Microsoft's vote-buying in Sweden, while wielding unfounded accusations of chicanery in Sun's direction.
Money, hookers or blow. Probably a combo of all three. Just a guess.

Careful son, that's commie talk.
Parents, it's your job to watch your kids, not anybody else's.
But why not just copy hard drives

Grow some stones and start unleashing your inner asshole. Then you'll get girls.
Very sad, but very true. Long live the patriarchy!
Meh. By the time they get something like this up and running, home fabbing will probably be very viable anyway.

Who keeps giving/lending these clowns money?
Wouldn't it be more correct to call them zombies at this point? Vampires? The undead?
Something like that.
Why yes, my job does suck. We can't all be hackers, you know.
On the upside, nice to know there's still some of these fabled know-everything unhelpful geeks out there. You must be their mascot.
Don't be lame.
You ever think that maybe I don't exactly have a lot of room for an extra OS partition due to all the porn on my HD?
Seriously, some of us have actual jobs and don't have oodles of time in mom's basement to wank around with stuff like this.
Forget the ideology. What I want to know is, has anybody here installed it/used it and what are their opinions?

Obligatory "We have voted for idiots in the past to run our country, but at least we didn't vote for a retard. Twice." post.

Peter O'Kelly is a friend of mine, and I could not pick a guy whose intellect or integrity I respect more, so I am just blown away by this.
Happens to all of us. Good friends and respected colleagues are as fallible as anyone.
it's like saying, the guy already raped you so you might as well marry him
Sounds like a soap opera plot point.

Yeah, but the £48 one probably had one of the following in addition to the part:
All in all, no matter which, well worth the extra £36 IMO
Oddly enough, private religious schools are often better academically than the failed public schools. Probably less dogmatic too.
One reasons for that: More discipline. Nuns and brothers will happily resort to strict punishments for the slightest thing.
