I've always thought it could be likened to a trade restriction, but most politicians seem to disagree. Though the excuse EU used was that it was to protect its culture...
Can we please not repeat hype buzzwords like "hit original series"? Makes you look like a brainless dweeb.
Yeah, the fact it had ratings which no scifi series has topped since then, and it ranked number 6 for the entire season of shows only shows it to be a totally unhitty series.
(Why only one season? It was totally expensive and ABC hadn't really heard of the word merchandise and Universal got most of the loot)
Nearly everyone I know who saw it was already anti-Bush. And once certain facts about the presentation were shown, it discredited it in the eyes of people who may have been in the running to be converted.
What facts? That he didn't like Bush? People should know that already, apart from that I have yet to see anyone point to a factual error (Oh, I've seen freaks make long lists of supposed problems, but when you analyze them they always boil down to "I disagree with your opinion")
Go ahead and tell yourself that I'm the only one who cares about it (snicker).
No, I'm sure there are other small minded people who care about irrelevant crap like that. There is enough serious stuff going on, with human rights being trampled and people blowing each other up to worry about instead of junk like that.
Meanwhile, you're convincing yourself the man isn't a fraud because you're clearly a fan of his. Go ahead and believe whatever he tells you--it doesn't matter to him as long as it pays for the multi-million dollar apartment he rents in upstate New York.
You clearly forgot to take your pills today. Lying about where you grew up, in order to pose an image of "working class," is a deception. If some conservative had done the same thing, I have a feeling you'd be all over it.
If someone lied about why he went to war I would be upset, but who cares where the hell he was born. Grow up.
By comparison: Even though there are millions of psychics/clairvoyants and other people who claim to be able to predict the future worldwide, not one predicted the tsunami! Remarkable?
What planet are you from? These updates are not for wine, they are for MS products. Just because the product in question is running on wine doesn't mean it should not have access to updates.
Except these updates are only for people running windows.
Slashdot Mirror
...while I puke.
Believe it or not, Slashdot is a forum where readers are occasionally allowed to disagree. :-)
Since when? Usually you get modded down for that.
Greedy Microsoft pissing off users again - who would have thought it.
The lesson was: Users don't want to be pissed off by annoying crap adds and not how to find new ways to piss them off.
They should learn something from Googles adds.
Good for them. What was their reason?

It is - the dialog is awfull!
Region coding is pretty much dead.
Except the Eu has decreed that region coding must be respected, and that shops are not allowed or sell DVDs with region coding other than region 2.
Its possible a ruling on modification of players could be next.
The evil copyright rules.
I think you missed the point.
I use DIV all the time and my pages come up just perdy in MSIE thank you very much!
No they don't amateur.
I would argue that there is NO dialog in I and II - but you may have a point :)

....but I can still recognize that the majority of Fahrenheit 9/11 was BS.
And those parts were?
...because after all blowing shit up is so much more important than dialog...
Kid, I don't know if he "lied" about where he was born, and I don't care. Grownups don't go to see movies based on where somebody was born.
EOD.
I agree with you - but I'm not american.

He does what most people do: State a reference so others can relate to it. Because mostly people don't really give a shit where you live.
Besides he's never actually said he was born in Flint, just that is where he grew up, which may be very true if he went over there all the time.
But in the end nobody, but you, gives a damn where he was born. If you call that a "deception" you need your head examined.

Or perhaps you just didn't hear about it.
You skippd the "We'd end up with more and better films" part in your quote.
No I didn't.
Obviously :)
Hell, he's not even from Flint--he's from Davison
Which, If you look at a map, are right next to each other, except people have heard about Flint, not Davison.
and he'd end up with more piles of cash
Would he? Everybody goes to see them anyway.

Funny how people don't care.
