"GMail prevents MSIE from remembering your password. GMail sucks. "
Firefox and Safari both remember it just fine. MSIE sucks.
MSIE respects the tag autocomplete="off" - if Firefox and Safari doesn't, they may or may not suck because of that - but GMail certainly does for putting it there in the first place. (And Firefox sucks for putting configs in 'my documents')
How many TV torrents still contain the original advertisements they aired with? I'm thinking in the region of.. hmm... zero? Now, how is all this "free to air" television subsidised?
Oh? Advertisements?
Its paid for by the advertisers based on the number of people who view the program. The vast majority of people who download can't see it, and thusly have no effect on the advertising revenue.
I would see it differently. Extending copyright encourages creativity because it shows that if you can come up with good original concept that catches the popular imagination you can make an absolute mint off it.
That means that greedy people try to create, not creative people.
Picard trys to go by the Prime Directive, even if it means misery for people on the planet. Kirk always violated it, because he put the good fortune of others ahead of a buerocratic/pollitical idea.
Kirk may be a mans man, but Picard is an adult. Kirk would just do what he closed minded wanted. Say, if he was president he would "liberate" a coutry even if it ment 100000 died in the process.
Strange though it may sound, that night spent watching Trek with a generator humming loudly outside in the hot Somali air was one of the best cinematic experiences of my life.
Did the shows cost nothing to produce? 14 episodes of a SciFi show.... i would bet $5million an episode is a reasonable estimate. Thats $70 million in costs right there. Plus marketing, blah blah blah.
Under two mill (and there was no marketing) - they made that back on the first run, but they wanted more, not just to break even.
The show pretty clearly had a huge fanbase (given the record sales on Amazon and pre-screenings that sell out before they're announced) but even if every fan sees the movie once, it won't be enough to warrant a sequel if no one else sees it.
What is so difficult about the notion that while you enjoy a TV show, most of the world didn't want to watch it?
Most of the world didn't get a chance to watch it. However afterwards 9 out of 10 introduced to it end up loving it. Can't you people just accept that there weren't enough people out there who share your taste,
There is no proof of that, so that would be religion to belive that.
Its a protest against GMail. MSIE allows the user to remember the password on all other sites, but not there, and other people inform me that it is because GMAil prevents it. So its a protest sig. Why the hell you use MSIE when you can use Firefox (with all its purported exploits)?
1. Its not for you to decide what I wish to use. 2. I refuse to use Firefox until they change things, which they don't want to change(like storing configs in 'My documents') 3. Your sentence construction suggest that Firefox has a lot of exploits. 4. Are you suggesting the Firefox works with GMail but MSIE does not? Ei, that the Google people are only preventing the Microsoft product from working there? Gmail does NOT suck.
IT does when the overlords prevent people from using the password remembering mechanism of their choice.
Try using Yahoo mail or better yet Hotmail. Hotmail works on MSIE.
You don't get to decide what email service I wish to complain about (because they also do not allow it to stor password) - besides, sig space is limited.
I forgot to mention that they've made a lot of heavy modifications to Doom 3's engine. It's not like a Doom 3 mod.
You mean its not all going to be dark?! That one can actually see things? That it might actually look a bit like, say, Unreal Tournament!? Wow, can't wait for that.
The best thing about forcing the kids to use 14-character passwords is that it sets the tone for their attitude. If you tell kids "Be secure!" and don't require strong passwords, they might not get the message. Require strong passwords and you ...will get post it stamps all over with the passwords because they can't remember the weird long ones.

Technically, what you have done is not wrong and does not violate copyright, as it is still for your personal use.
It does in Europe. And I suspect also in the US, though I don't know the details.
I wonder if they will put pictures up when they get shut down (and the will eventually)

Do you see now?
I would see it differently. Extending copyright encourages creativity because it shows that if you can come up with good original concept that catches the popular imagination you can make an absolute mint off it.
That means that greedy people try to create, not creative people.
I think what it boils down to, is that it is perfectly legal to download one copy of a show
No. Unless they specifically have given you permission, it is an ilegal violation of copyright.
I get annoyed at this because Slashdot regularly asks me to moderate posts...
I get annoyed that it never asks me to moderate posts.
Picard is a wimp. Kirk is a man's man.

What episodes was it?
Surely they have been doing that for ages?

did anybody here pass economics?
Yep, I walked past a class. Really hot chicks inside!

So you know how many fans there are?
Not to forget St. Whedon day ;-)
When people were sick? ;)

currently ranked #48 on amazon,not too shabby
:)
It was all the way up to 19 when the trailer was released, definately not too shabby for a year old show

Signed.
Just curious, because apparently Google does evil and prevents MSIE from remembering them...

As soon as I saw this on GoogleBlog I realized the 'privacy' freaks were going to flip. If you don't like it, don't use it.
Yeah, and if you think its wrong to keep slaves, then don't keep slaves!
I bet John Titor would tell you not to trust Google ;)
What is next?
Hopefully that the fix Googlegroups to be readable for all...
