It just feels wrong that these people getting payed over and over. Record a song, get some payment, and thats it. Why should they keep getting payed over and over when the song is being played again? Does the people who built my TV keep getting money when i used it? Or any other thing? Sick I tell you, lets vote to get the damn laws changed.
Interesting the other way: The disney web site was breaking a Danish law, and some over enthusiastic dane tried to get them to change and they told him, probably politely, where he could go put himself..
There are always some would will start this debate, claiming numbers on their side. But one thing is if what the numbers say, another is what they eyes see.
I've seen commercial VCD's who looked TOTALLY DAMN GREAT! I wouldn't have known it wasn't a DVD if i hadn't been told.
So it might be that technically it was way behind the DVD specs, so what.
Ok, so these VCD's were mastered by pro's of official material, and you are hardly likely to get the same if you fiddle around with a webcam in your living room, but then you wouldn't if you could burn a "real" DVD either.
One great thing about VCD is that they work in standard DVD players (NTSC and PAL VCD discs only work in players for the respective formats, of course; a limitation not seen on computers).
They don't work in all, but MOST. (Since they are produced in countries where people have droves of VCD's) - Pioneers are generally good, Sonys are bad (they seem to stick to much to some 'standards') Some players will only play commercial VCDs, and some (especially Sony's) will only work with certain brands of CDR/CDRW. If you have a difficult player, try buying one cdr of several different brands, and see what taste your player has. Its easy to make one, get the tmpgenc mpg encoder from http://www.tmpgenc.net/ to encode a VCD. and get Nero http://nero.com to burn it on the cd.
We (as in the people) can make these now, its not very expensive. Making DVD's is very expensive for the home user. Besides they'll be replacing the DVD format with Blueray in a couple of years, so people might as well be playing with this now.
..and you thought it was scary that mullah bush always knows the one truth (because GOD has told him so).
Good thing one lives in Europe... at least until he starts bombing those countries who disagree with him (if you are not with me you are against me) which would be ok of course since the US love the idea of a war crimes tribunal.. as long as it only applies to the rest of the world
Someone will make a box to put between the signal and the TV that will run a pattern recognizing algorhitm on the signal and blank out the adds. Just wait an see:)
I think he was simply stating that, file sharing apps are almost always used for immoral activities.
Beware of the word "immoral" - Most would probably agree that a lot of filesharing trafic is against the law, but that's not the same as it being immoral.
How much is that in Metric?

Oh well;)
that I miss the old classic simplicity of just two sides building bases and sending troops after each other to win instead of following some story about how the Orcs just happened to have revived themselves as a culture and,
So, can't you play a skirmish game?:)
At least there's Red Alert 2.:)

How about just saying "fuck off!" - Americans get so uptight about certain words that you will shock them from ever calling you again? :)
... at least they do in europe - is it different over there? :)
It might have been once, but it isn't any longer.

Ever heard of spoiler space?
>I hope you mean new to blizzard RTS, the hero system has been around for ages in turn based games.
Blizzard says they have invented a new system, A real time roleplaying strategy game. (RTRS?)
>I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag
>Of the United States of America
I promise to do what my flag tells me (of course if i actually hear a flag talking to me I'm a raving lunatic)
>And to the Republic
>For which it stands
My country is always right and can do no wrong, regardles of what other countries say (even if we have to kick their ass!)
>One Nation, Under God
Now i believe in supernational creatures for which there is no proof, but that is ok since I already believe in talking flags.
>Indivisible, With Liberty and Justice for All.
How can it be indivisible when its full of small states! Liberty and Justice for all who can pay. Yup.
