you hit the nail on the head. storage is the *biggest* problem I can see. I also have had to reduce my buying habits because I also have no-where to put them. I have thought about throwing away the cases, but if I ever need them again, they could be expensive to replace, ignoring the fact that not all DVDs have the same cases. I now have 2 full large shelves full of dvds and no, I'm not allowed to fill up the rest of the house with them.
How can you be of American Nationality and Chinese Nationality at the same time. For those who don't realise, Chinese is *not* a race. People of China are made up by many races. Chinese is a Nationality!
What about the good things about China? Like the fact that you can buy most hollywood movies 'in Government run shops" for about AU$1 each! Or the fact that living there knowing the government is nice enough not to go to Iraq pre-emptively and kill lots of civilians?
No, when I look at the overall picture of things, the Chinese gov looks a hell lot more appealing than the other two. Of course both have good and bad things.
Sucking at these tasks is very subjective. I think you'll find remaining Amiga users are persistant because they like how their Amiga is and works, a Linux user and Amiga user could be considered like someone who prefers red and someone who prefers blue, each will argue their preference because it is just that - their preference.
I am an a MorphOS user, Amiga user, a Linux user and a Windoze user - in that order!
could be a good method of marketing though, write game reviews with lots of imbedded advertising (not so much that no-one will read the review), then put them into a torrent. hopefully a reasonable % of people who download it will actually read the reviews (or buy something from the ads?)
I have actually been considering writing game reviews and putting them into torrent files because I have a really slow upload with my ISP. What do you think of the idea?
Maybe I missed something, but if I wanted to run my own publicly accessible wireless website I should be allowed to right? Such a product would stop people connecting to my machine which is just silly, especially if I was to move into a new house, I'd have to attempt to strip the entire house of this paint so that people can access my server from outside.
what I hate most about MSIE and is the main reason I use Mozilla is that it doesn't let me say 'Never Trust anything from this Vendor' when an Active X control pops up. I don't trust Microsoft, neither do I trust Adobe or the company behind Shockwave, yet in MSIE, I cannot tell it I don't trust them. Boy do I hate that.
on another note, I have several computers, running 4 different Operating Systems. I have *only* ever run security software or a virus killer on *one* of the operating systems (Windows) and I have *never* in the last 15 years had a virus on the other platforms, *ever* or any other type of security problem for that matter.
damn, banned from using any Network - better stop using SERNET or PARNET then, heck, technically there's not much difference between SERNET and PARNET and using a printer. Better not use a TOPFIELD PVR then cause when you plug that into your PC via USB, you have a network between the TOPFIELD implementation of Linux and your computer. Not to mention perhaps a digital camera running Linux to copy the Photos from it, or perhaps playing LAN games with two Playstation2's connected...
thankfully they had the sense to put that in there, however there is that other stupid law, someone can just claim it violates copyright regardless of whether it does or not

just like recording a tv program in Australia where we have no fair use rights.
English cast? Isn't this a Japanese movie in Japanese language?

Typical of the US to launch a pre-emptive chemical warfare strike against the poor civilian aliens who live on Mars :(
that's a contradiction.

actually, I'd rather a government like the Chinese government over the US or Aussie one any day!
I hope it's as good as the Christopher Lambert version!

Doesn't MS Windows have peer to peer built in? heck, you connect to a share and get a list of all files within, then you copy the files...

well, if you classify open source as GNU licence, then it isn't free because I am not free to do whatever I want with it, it has some restrictions!
I haven't had a virus or worm in AmigaOS or MorphOS yet... Supposedly they exist, but still never had them.
Here in Australia, we often get Disney movies advertised on TV as now you can "OWN" this movie for the first time on DVD!

with absolutely no intention to make their buggy software less buggy (me shakes my head)

just think, we now live in an irrelavent democracy that is partially dictated by people we don't give a sh*t about on the other side of the World!
I'm afraid I'd pick *almost* any other side than Bush's.
I am wondering if things already in the public domain will suddently leave the public domain after January 1st? ie: gone with the wind?
