Oh by the way, the video could have been watched in full-screen and from the other replies I would guess no one noticed the bear is in the preview shot that is completely still and you're able to stare at for as long as you like.
This is different how when most cyclists blend in and that's why they're supposed to have lights an some wear high-vis leg bands, both of which don't do much when they're beside you and you're not paying attention. Most people aren't professional clowns and therefore won't be cycling to work in brightly coloured clothes.
It's often the threats in the background that matter especially when driving as cars move much faster than people walking.
People who think they can use a cellphone and driving are just selfish. If ever I saw someone on a cellphone in an accident, assuming they're the only one hurt I wouldn't stop. I would feel the need to be equally selfish and not waste my time.
I don't know about in your backward sounding country; but in the UK if a jury decides that a person is 'not guilty' then it has been decided they have not committed a crime. This may be an unusual system to you, but it is what is called the Justice System in the UK - other countries may not like it but it kind of suits us.
The jury hasn't decided that he has not committed a crime. It means he hasn't committed the crime he went to court for.
Of course he didn't defraud the copyright holders but but in my opinion there is very good evidence that he did defraud the users of his service. The mere fact he felt the need to spread the cash amongst numerous accounts says it all.
In fact it's my opinion most people asking for donations are just trying to profit through guilt tripping. That's why I won't donate anything unless it's an open source project that has provided something of value like PostgreSQL.
As he has now been cleared of a crime - anyone in the UK (and possibly elsewhere) implying he is a criminal is open to be sued - he will also be able to keep any profits made.
He could but he could also be taken to court for something else because Oink was, at best, morally dubious. I think that's why Oink won't come back.
Also he's not entirely in the clear as he moved Oink to the Netherlands and action could be taken against him there and he'll have to come up with a better excuse than he used a free template that happened to have the ability to share torrents in it.
As the first case against bittorent use in the UK, this stands as a common sense outcome decided by the jury.
The music industry tried a new angle which was a poor angle to take and they've lost.
I have no qualms about people sharing music amongst friends and even having that spider out further than the original sharing may have realised.
I do think however that any service set up to allow you to share with anyone should be shut down. At that point it's gone beyond friends and will have to become a business because you can't simply serve millions of people for free. So at that point you business starts profiting from crime even if it's not committing a crime and that shouldn't be allowed. File sharing should be a zero cost activity amongst friends.
Vimeo is fine on my desktop and main laptop but it's pretty awful for netbooks and smart phones. Between those sorts of devices and the shear amount of old hardware out there, I would guess the needs of the many would be for something that's not as processor intensive.
That's why PC gaming has always sold less than consoles and consists mainly of old titles being resold and browser based games.
Perhaps you need to listen to you own quote about the needs of the many.
A Mac would be considerable to a high end PC and they're about the same price. A mac will be better than something bought in Wal-Mart because the Wal-Mart PC will have shit parts and will be subsidised by all the crap installed on it.
Yes you can clean it out and even re-install a clean copy of windows to ensure it works to its best but then you're paying with your time rather than money.
Tight-wads love stories like this to justify buying the cheapest shit out there but in general you'll find middle of the road stuff is the best. High-end stuff is always over priced and is more about brand than performance. Low-end is for people in trailers and will mean cheaper parts, less support or something.
Mid-range is basically a real high-end and aimed at normal people. Where as anything that is advertised as being high-end is for pompous jerks with more money than sense. These are the sort of people that don't care how long it lasts because they can buy 2 more to replace it.
Apple does sort of move into the high-end market but, as I said, a good PC that won't be out of date in 2 months will cost about the same. Apple will likely charge more and they realise that which is why they act like Nazis and like to have their systems closed up as much as possible. Having fewer pieces of crap software on your system and less hardware variety will lead to perceived quality increase despite using the same parts.
While it's the same parts inside, it's also what's on the outside that makes a difference and Apple has lead in design and usability. Even their old G4s had nice doors that are opened via a handle rather than some funky ass piece of metal that requires you to take the screws out and even then they can often be a pain to slide in and out of place or some big ass U shaped piece of metal that is more likely to cut you than go back on properly.
What you're paying for on average with a Mac is for them to employ more designers and usability experts than Acer will ever have and Nazi-like control. Sure they could subsidise the cost with shit-ware from Norton, McAffee, Real, etc and it would be cheaper and it would still have a superior design to a Wal-Mart PC but then it would run worse and there wouldn't be much point in moving to OSX and giving up all your Windows software if you're not getting the stability.
Unlike the case with Lexicon, I don't think Apple hides the fact their hardware is the same stuff inside and that their quality comes through other means which do work if you're willing to give up the freedom. It happens that I' not willing to give up the freedom so I've never owned a Mac. It's just too easy to build your own quality PC.
So these big companies get hundreds/thousands of CVs/Resumes per job yet they're still always asking for higher limits on H1-B visas because they can't find anyone.
His logic is that he's like good is utter shit. For starters Google doesn't require an invite and secondly Google can find numerous things and its sole purpose isn't to share copyright material.
You're right about Pirate Bay and in fact Pirate Bay was more like Google seeing how it wasn't invite only and one could easily stumble across freely rather than having to actively seek to share copyright material.
He clearly was profiting from crime. Anyone with morals would be disgusted and anyone using the service thinking they're trying to keep it open should be disgusted too and he should be in jail.
Again that is true but movies start out at £10 and quickly fall to anywhere from £5 to £2. Crap movies especially will end up at £2 quite quickly and that's the cost of a sandwich. Crap at that price is at least acceptable and falls in line more with the motto you get what you pay for. A crap game still costs £50 to £40 and might drop to £20 at some point.
Then if you factor in that the movie is more useable across various players and will not have to rely on years of emulation work to be converted to a digital format for use and archiving.
Basically crap movies don't feel like as much of a rip-off.
The cynical and sexist side of me thinks that this is because women generally still feel inadequate in some capacity.
This isn't meant to sound as bad as it will but they still feel inadequate. They're more emotional than men in general and therefore are more likely to take offence to things and feel like shit over something stupid.
Women still have all sorts of issues about their bodies, their weight and food. They like the blame men as if your average straight man is the one running the fashion industry and all these women's magazines.
Porn just goes to prove how it's women not men that cause women to have these issues. You can find a porn site to cover any sort of fetish for men. Whether it be fat women, old women, handicap women, transvestites, hell even women with hoof feet.
Men as a whole are probably the least picky people when it comes to sexual partners. Women really only have themselves to blame for their issues and therefore those issues will *never* go away because equal rights do not address the problem.
The reason why they do it to men and not women is because we are evolving faster. We're superior and just as smart people shouldn't pick on retards, men shouldn't pick on women.
We all start out after conception as females but even in the womb we evolve to something better than the default choice.
All your link proves is he's heading MS while it lost market share and Linux gained. Sure it hasn't gone from 0% to 50% in 5 years but it's seeing a steady gain. This is despite the fact companies are doing their best to kill off the idea of a Linux netbook.
Let's face it, everyone initially starts off as a woman but only a select few of us are chosen to evolve into something better. We're just better species with the better chromosomes.
If we evolve to have vaginas on our hands we may very well wipe out females.
Sorry but she's not. She nearly always has a sour face and her smiles come off as fake. I just can't really see her having any personality worth writing home about. Intelligence is nice but you still need a personality to go along with it.
She just doesn't have the looks to be lacking a personality and quite frankly if she's so intelligent she wouldn't have ruined her primary campaign with blatant lies.
Neither would I. Taking a look at the women who admitted to sleeping with him would imply that admitting you slept with him is also like admitting you're a chubby horse's ass.
To be fair it was clearly a marriage of convenience and not a real marriage. She's was and is doing the same thing. The difference is no one in their right mind would admit to sleeping with her.

You could but that doesn't really answer it and means nothing.
I am less aware of my distant environment but still keep a keen picture of everything that could hit me directly.
You mean a keen picture of all things you're aware of that might hit you and that's not good enough.

I didn't say he committing a crime but that he was profiting from it.
If you allow pedos to host your images on your server for a fee that doesn't make you a pedo but you are profiting fro child pornography.

No one said the government was taking over Intel and don't you have a town hall meeting to attend to proclaim Obama an illegal immigrant or something?
Because Intel only has the consumer's interest in their heart and will never do anything wrong.
Before you say the consumer should decide just remember it was the consumer who decided who is in the government.

Best comment so far!
Don't get me wrong there are games that excel at great story telling. But the industry as a whole really sucks at it.
Sorry but she's not. She nearly always has a sour face and her smiles come off as fake. I just can't really see her having any personality worth writing home about. Intelligence is nice but you still need a personality to go along with it.

I'm sure Out magazine will pay for you exclusive story on Hillary's outing.
To be fair it was clearly a marriage of convenience and not a real marriage. She's was and is doing the same thing. The difference is no one in their right mind would admit to sleeping with her.
