There's bound to be retailers who market this as Celine's latest CD. But, if this truly does not conform to Red Book standards, then complain to/sue the retailer for selling you a duff product. Sony's far more likely to take notice of them than Joe Public.
Nonsense.
There's any number of bampots out there
drugged up, mad with the wine, jellied, etc.
Cameras ain't going to stop them causing
havoc. Intelligence goes out the window
when intoxicating substances are involved.
All cameras do is help the PF put together
a case, and earn the defence lawyer a fat fee.
Maybe it's just me, but here in the UK, and in
Scotland in particular, I get the impression
training is a dirty word. When I see the a job
advertisement saying "Full training given," I ask
myself whether that means a couple of hours
reading the Health & Safety policy and then
doing a questionnaire.
I'm trying to get into IT, but with limited
experience find it difficult finding anything
other than call centre opportunities. Irate
telephone enquiries isn't my bag, however.
Even if training someone for a position costs
a few grand, surely that could be recouped
by paying a lower salary for a year or two.
Companies seem to want everything up front.
$2000 is way over the odds.
I don't know about the States, but in
the UK I think it costs between £50-£100
to register a company name with Companies
House, or whatever the appropriate body
is.
How does ICANN justify charging 10 times as
much for an Internet version?
Slack's cool, but the advertising - T-shirts, pins etc., is still a bit geeky. How about a cool gimmick, perhaps a character like 7-Up's Fido Dido, someone to give it a bit of an edge.
I can see the marketing reasons for releasing films in cinemas at different times in different countries. In the UK, family films are often released to coincide with school holidays - summer, Xmas, etc. The film INDUSTRY is obviously going to maximise its profits any way it can - look at the amount of tripe that get churned out year after year. I think zoning has been more contentious because the film shrinkwrapped product may vary from country to country. Those extras like interviews, soundtracks or other goodies may only be available on an import copy. But if you go into your favourite record shop and buy a limited edition LP from the States you don't have to buy an American deck to play it on.

It's chrisd. What do you expect?

Sophisticated...and broken
That book I thought pretty poor, lacking in style and originality. There are far better writers

Funny how my British passport says citizen in it.

This is nothing new; I have an encylopedia from 1909 complaining then about the commercialisation of Christmas.
Anyone remember Bed Bugs - for the C64 I think.
