Bullshit. I can define my own morals just fine. Thank you very much. Besides I have in this house over 10.000 cdroms I bought. With mostly (but not all) my own data on it. Millions of photographs I took over the years and hundreds of songs I wrote. On everyone of those blanco cdroms I had to pay 25 cent.... To go to the music and movie-studios. No sir, this is not morally wrong. It is morally wrong from THEM to ask for even MORE...
Well I can follow your reasoning. However I want to state this once and for all. In the Netherlands we pay 25cent on every blanco cdrom/dvd. In return we can fill them with music or movies. We already payed for it, even when not actually watching the movies. Besides, it's not stealing when you just open your eyes and watch something. You don't take anything away from anyone. So it's never stealing to watch a movie. Only when you make up a law that says: you cannot use your body the way it's meant to be, it can become stealing. From a law-point of view, because in the end the law is wrong and it still isn't stealing. You are just led to believe it is stealing. Now please pay 20 bucks to see this movie. Talk about stealing:) It's idiotic that 1 movie should have profits in the millions. About 2000, 3000 bucks pure profit would be more than enough to keep movies being made;)
Didn't knew about the internetspeeds. I do have 5mb available so a dvd is here in about 12 minutens, a iso rip about 5/6 minutes. And as I said earlier, it's legal here to download movies. But those are all valid points you mention. Combined with other peoples awnsers here, I'm starting to see why you like these services.
Ah ok, that's not added value to me because here in the Netherlands it is legal to download movies and/or music. If it was illegal that could be a good reason to buy their services. True.
I didn't realize you had to pay 80/month for tv. That's about whay I pay for a year. But I don't have a decoder so I have like 40 channels with crap instead of 400 channels with crap. I can understand the added value now btw of netflix, but I'm not concerned about torrents because I have a fast connection and in the Netherlands it is legal to download movies and/or music.
I am afraid that you're wrong. People expect less for more money these days. And they take it. Seems like somewhere along the line we got a whole civilization with a masochist-gen activated. It's the only way to explain the success of T-Mobile, Microsoft Windows, and Dr. Phill.
Since I am from Europe that whole netflix and hulu-thing is beyond me. Why do you guys want to pay for this? You have torrents, youtube etc. What's on netflix or hulu that you just have to see? This is just a question from someone not familiar with these products and not intended as a troll or whatever. Just want to make that clear;)
Bullshit, you would have logged on your account for that;) Now your just another meaningless AC with an excuse afterwards. You have an account. Use it. Like men use their balls and not the balls from "mister X"
I am sure that ratings like troll for my criticism and these kind of comments will magically go away in half a year. When MS stoppes doing the Israel trick and paying peeps to provide good publicity;)
The kinect is a failure. I tested it. It is as sucky as a wii but less fun. And anyone who didn't get payed to test the kinect will tell you the same. But, curious as I am, how long did you have your Kinect? Well?
Next to french, german, greek and dutch? I speak it perfect. can't write it for shit though. How is your Dutch or German? Or French or Greek? I can both speak and write those without error... well.... bitch?
The $150 device that Microsoft put hundreds of millions of dollars of research into.... that sentence is a lie... lol. And the kinect system is everything but groundbraking. Everything MS said itself about the WII still holds up but even worse. I can use the WII a meter away from the screen. Try to do that with that MS crap, that hasn't caused hundreds of millions, but like, 20, 30 bucks in total, taking prior art into account.
I can understand your point of view. But look at mine pov. It's better to have a dude with an agenda including things as: job improvement, proof of concept releasing this then it it that Group X with selfenrichment AND costing damage to you releases it. It's gonna be released anyway. That's for sure.
Yes, that is true, but mostly in situations to keep things simple. It's way smarter to have a sign with a picture in it than it is to having a saying: Hey there is a cliff here that you are about to drive off. We suggest to hit your brakes NOW.
Because in some cases it is far easier to picture a simple overview of something. However, once you have to tell someone how to follow the complete procedure to achieve the pictures goal, you'll quickly find out that a common language is the main tool to have.
Yes but it's unrealistic. I do agree with that part, but to a whole lot of people passing on their religion is learning their kids not to poke in a power-outlet. It is not safe to be without one. That is not my view, but I can assure you there are millions and millions of people who do view it that way. But in a sense being a atheist can be described as a religion. Especially when I see some of us go so faithfully spreading the word that there is no God;)

If only they would say that on the European Songfestival :( No wonder we need all that marijuana here ;)

And yet the wii does work... without question... Why ask the question in the first place?

What we waiting for? Lets kill the insensitive little clod!
What we waiting for? Let's kill the insensitive clod!
Let alone engage her!
I'll be damned if someone services my wife!
Is it available yet?
So tell me, how many days of you get at google per year? :)
Man here we devs are sort of happy the 'electricians' stopped running the cables!
When you are truly in an IT job, you are all of them. After you're done fixing the plumbing that is.
