I see two things that make this look very enticing.
1) It is most likely lighter than hardened armor. 2) While a shin won't bend, it will most likely twist and the muscles flex. This armor allows the user to have protection without gaps that would normally allow the user to move their bodies the way they need to to get down the hill fastest.
I like the idea of a fee. I like the idea of a sliding fee better...
50% of all revenue made from the work during its copyright to date. And that extends it for 10 years or so, then you have to pay it again, updated for the revenues of the previous ten years, of course.
It becomes a gamble, then... Can I make more than 50% of what I did in the last 28 years in the next ten years? If not, there is no reason for a company to hoarde what should be considered the pubic's right.
It gives a financial reason to allow items to move into Public Domain.
The fun with this is that it already illegal to have for-money online gambling in the USA. However, the companies get around it by advertising for donkeypornpoker.net (a not for money site), knowing full well that most people will go to donkeypornpoker.com, which is a "sepearate" offshore company that is a true gambling site.
We are not wiretapping without warrants, this was just "misinformation" that was leaked to America to see how "gullible" they are. Of course, this official press release is completely legitamate and not consisting of misinformation.
"Suing them for throttling is like complaining when the waitress won't clear your plates every two minutes."
No, its more like complaining that you can't get a new plate until 5 minutes after you've finished with the food on the previous plate.
The advertisement states "Unlimited," which should translate into "Everything we can do to make sure that you have three movies checked out to you at any one time." Having secret or public delays is not right, because that is the antithesis of "Unlimited." In otherwords, NetFlix is lying when they say "Unlimited."
The whole idea behind "three movies" was that it takes roughly three days for the old movie to get to Netflix and the new movie to get to you. You should be able to get 28-31 movies/month if you watch a movie a day. However, if you are watching that many movies, I suggest you do something else.
As for those jackasses that are ripping the movies. Why? 1) what you are doing is illegal, not just on DMCA standpoint, but also because you don't even own the media. You are renting the movie. Renting voids any right for time-shifting, media shifting, backup, or any of the other excuses you think you have. 2) If you want the movie that bad, either buy it or put it back in the Queue for when you want to watch it again. There are very few movies I have an interest in buying anymore. I just add them to my queue. If they are good enough to watch again, I return them and add them back into the end of my Queue. When they come up again, I decide if that is what I want to watch. If not, I move it back again.
Umm, wear some pants. That way you only look wierd for being a grown guy on a little kid's bike, not a naked grown guy on a little kid's bike with his pecker tied up in the chain.
Wow! That's a really nice car. Their website tells me that they're going to begin production in 2002. When I paid my $20,000 deposit, they told me that I would get the first one, but it will take 6-8 months to build it. I can't wait. However, when I called back to tell them that the bank transfer went through for $10,000 too much, they weren't answering my calls.
For anyone that is actually planning on dealing with this company, I don't have any history with them, and do not actually speak of the ethics of this company that has not updated their website in at least five years.
Umm, all you need to do is replace "A Miracle occurs here" with "The government mandates it to fight the war on Terror/Drugs/Pedophiles/Tribbles" and you now have a possible way that the "Linking" can occur.
Now, you say that the government won't do this? We're now being surveilled by the Executive branch, with the Legislative branch not _really_ doing anything about it, despite the fact that there are supposed to be part of our "checks and balances" system.
The other thing is that if the American goverment won't do it, some other government will. Once the technology is available for one country, it will be made available in others in the private sector. Imagine a world where an advertiser can target _you_. You spend %50 of your income on alcolhol and cigarettes? I'd imagine that you would get a lot more beer and cigarette ads. Of course, they are no longer targeting the "Kids" so they can say whatever they want to you, rather than the BS of "visit our website to help quit."
Now, the information is gathered, all the government has to do is ask for it. Most likely, their friends the CEOs will be happy to give it in exchange for a tax break.
Then when are they going to "delist" Experts exchange, a site that often comes up for technical questions, but does not allow the answer to be seen without a subscription.
When are they going to delist the many, many sites that seem to be created wholely for users looking for an obscure product, however, when you go to the page it is yet another "index" page full of advertisements, often without reference to the product that the user was looking for.
"I personally survived a small gas vapor fire where my body was essentially entirely inside the fireball, with only a few burnt hairs and what was functionally no worse than a bad sunburn on the parts of my skin not covered by clothing, and the clothes didn't catch on fire. I really don't recommend you try it yourself, but it won't kill you."
I remember the excitement that the teacher and class had before the launch. I remember the placement of the TV in the room. I remember the look of horror on my teacher's face as the event unfolded differently than she expected.
It also means he is going to be stabbed by a giant spike when no one is expecting it, annoying anyone that has any hope of a sequal/new series, as it will not include him.

Dopey shot first!
Remember, emoticons are read left to right, so what you said was:
"I nutsack Osama."
I'm not sure what exactly nutsack means as a verb, but it can't be good, unless it is a sort of a kick.
As long as we get enough Haliburton Green on Tuesdays, we won't riot too much.

Except that the Bush administration would release any of the information immediately if it would suit the party interests. Look at Valarie Plame.

No, no, no. It must have been an African petabyte. A European petabyte wouldn't have been able to hold that much data.

Umm, mark that RFID tag as completely ineligable to return. If it does show up, lock down the building and call 911.

So, you work for Gateway, eh?

Should have been ballistics gel, then they would have made the Discovery Channel.
