You can still get the disks and you can still get the drives if you really wanted to. The OP was incorrect... this isn't a hard dig at all. I could have a drive and the media for it before the weekend if I really wanted it.
A few weeks ago I wanted to get a new screen protector for my wife's Samsung Epic. "Can I help you sir?" "Yeah, do you have a screen film for this phone?" "Yes, we have this one with a lifetime warranty for 20 dollars."
Honest Abe. 20 bucks for a fancy piece of scotch tape.
No, it's not more about tax money than a man's rights. It's more about a non-punishment of paying a settlement out of tax payer money instead of some kind of repercussions against those who violated a man's rights. For the most part, the government doesn't pay for their abuse when the repercussion for a crime is handing out "free" money and hoping the other party shuts up about rights violations... you pay for this and the abuse goes on.
I'm glad to see the parties finally getting together on a public ground in the best interests of the public. This is just the kind of cooperation that we need to see so people can move on from partisan bickering. Very progressive.
people are willing to embrace the infallibility of science, and the certainty of the consensus, when it validates what they already believe.
Fixed that for you.
The fact of the matter is that most people who discuss science don't know jack shit about the science. Sure, they'll repeat what they hear. They will embrace the science if their party of choice embraces the science. They may even be right doing that but they care little about the science itself. Sadly, this will probably never change.

But the fact of the matter is that it is working. Yes, someday it may blow up in someone's face.... fine. But for today it works. For today people are buying crap content in volumes previously unheard of. For today people are not wising up. Most aren't caring at all because original content isn't really that hard to find.
I'm not saying what's right or wrong but rather what works. The OP presented the idea that content matters more than picture quality. I'm suggesting that content isn't the highest held quality of media since the market clearly shows that people are willing to pay for rehashed story lines.
If content was important than we wouldn't have 800 channels. Not to mention 20+ screen megaplexes that keep playing remakes, reboots, prequels, sequels and 3D reblends.
Bezos needs to stop bitching and just realise he's fighting an uphill losing battle he's going to inevitably lose.
That's about as intelligent as saying that you're going to die anyway so why not just lay down and die now?
Every day he can hold off on unfavorable policies is a bit richer he will be. This way of thinking is what helps the rich get richer while attitudes like yours help keep the poor getting poorer.
Yeah, the Thinkpad has a gig of RAM. I haven't run a PC in nearly a decade without a gig of RAM. What of it? And no, I've run XP on this machine as well and it really wasn't any faster.
I mean google chrome runs on ancient P4s running XP.
I'm running Win7 on a 2 different P4s. A 7 year old ThinkPad and an 8 year old HP desktop. I have no reason to think that either machine will have any problems with IE10 either. So I'm failing to see your point about Chrome.
You ripped the CDs? Real Floyd fans rip the vinyls.
I know this post is meant tongue in cheek but I've seen a couple of posts pointing to the idea of Floyd having exceptional sound. This is plainly not true. PF is fantastic, yes. PF is much more involved than most of their peers, yes. PF is an audiophile band? Um, no.
I love Pink Floyd. I really do but Floyd has plenty of flaws in most of their recordings. Many of their recordings come off as abysmally dated by virtue of the recording quality. I think Floyd got their reputation largely from people who wanted prog rock without having to listen to Jon Anderson's voice. When it comes down to it Yes has much better sound engineering and much more complex music to offer. Not that Yes is a better band but they come off in spades with all the virtues that everyone likes to pin on Pink Floyd being the masters of.
Again, it's nothing against Floyd but they weren't the pinnacle of sound engineering and complexity in rock. Sad but true.

Oh? And what is "the right cause"?

And we need your passwords too. We won't use them for anything crooked... I swear to God.

Still cheaper than a cell store.

Basically logic gates
This is a really fantastic accomplishment. More than I've ever done in Minecraft.

Oh, wait...
I'll worry about that once we get a half ounce of respect from our so-called leadership that craps on our rights like it was their job.
Keep your eyes on both hands, boys and girls.
No one side is exclusive in "fighting against science." That's the flaw in your logic.

My experience is that most people who you can term a geek from a glance are rarely intelligent and the 'inside' jokes are normally stale.
Memes are a terrible form of wit.
Have you ever slammed your genitals in a door? No? Don't knock it until you've tried it.
Wow. Great leap you made there. I really question your motivations here.
What? Meddle is Floyd's most solid album. I know only about 15% of all Floyd fans are early Floyd fans but still...
I highly doubt their popularity has dwindled (if it has dwindled) because of their refusal to do iTunes.
And just out of curiosity, what are you listening to now since you've drifted from listening to a lot of Floyd?
Seeings as where TB is only two tracks, I don't think that will be a problem. And it's only two tracks because of the format of the time.
I didn't realize that relevancy was linked into doing what corporations want you to do. That's a new one on me.
I'm 100% for artists making decisions about how their works should be distributed. To be against this you may as well be turning them into cattle.

The Wall: The Movie was an afterthought of the album.
