I have found the best way to destroy recordable CD's is to keep them in protective cases, store them carefully, and then POOF they are unreadable when I go to use them.
Until recently I didnt have a HIDEF TV,. I did however, have a Blu-Ray player.. I won it at the office christmas party a few years back.. I hooked it up, but never played a BR disc on it.. I did use it once for a regular DVD... When I fisrt got it, i considered selling it, but knew that eventually I would get a decent plasma or LCD hidef set, so I hung on to it. Then came the day when I finally got myself a decent 50" Plasma (720P)... and thought, now is the time to go Blu-Ray... Something wierd happened tho, I realized I didn't rent physical movies anymore, and my wife and I stopped buying movies... We we're watching all rentals on netflix, and ofcourse, i was downloading content... I had shifted away from all physical media... For the price of a Blu-Ray box set, i was able to assemble a hidef HTPC, and the rest is history... I know this isn't the norm in every house yet. I think this article, is trying to equate old VHS/Betamax movies with new all-digital movies... and thats just not right.. To me, I would guess that in 10 years we wont be putting scratch-prone spinning bits of plasic in players anymore.. When with the click of a button we can watch almost anything on-demand...
humans gotta do a few import thanks.. sleep, eat and shit... A decent kitchen, complete with dining area can be in excess of $20,000, a good bed, complete with all the linens will cost you over a grand.. if I had the money kickin' around, I would love to shit in R2D2..
You are right in some regards, but the only real cost is in the contracts to lay and maintain the cable.. its cheap with fiber as it doesnt decay as easily as copper.. 99% of the run will happen on gov't easments that already cary electric and existing copper telecom, in many of these municipalities, i am willing to bet the municipal gov't will actually pay a subsidy.. Its in their best interests to have the infrastructure laid, its attractive to industry to be able to connect.
you will find very few low, or non voltage wiring requirments in any code... the reason hydro lines are required by code, how to run cable, where to put outlets, number of outlets per wall (min) and cable size.. its becuase its dangerous stuff... houses rarely burn, and people rarely die becuase fiber was installed wrong.. However, over-amp'ing copper or alluminum can start fires and kill people... so all the stuff the home owner wont see, needs to meet code before its covered.. building codes are for safety,... that isnt to say, that in new home construction one shouldnt wire the house for all forseen future projects.. When I reno'd my house I ran 2 runs of cat5e, 2 runs of rg6, and since i had a few boxes in the garage, 1 run of cat6 to each room back to a wiring closet (i use the term closet losely). I think i'm using 2 of the wires total, just for my media centre PC... but im set for my forseeable future... it would be pointless for me to install fiber, since I wont be using it and its not going to net me any return when I sell.... If i was mistaken by your comment, and you meant, fiber to the prem during construction, thats up to you municipality to decide... I know the last mile provdiders here are doing that in my municipality for all the new developments.
but... your honor.. that $26.5B would have been paid to us, had Amazon not streamed that music, taking the money straight out of poor Bono's hands.. Poor guy can barely afford to fuel his private jet this week.
It seems, collectively, the industry is more worried about music possession than gun possession. I have a mix-tape in my old van that I made somewhere in the late-80's.. its the only cassette I still have... There is a good chance I will serve time if the cops pull me over, and find that I am in possesion of a tape containing copied Def Leppard and GnR music.
Ridiculous isn't it.. If they store two copies of the same identicle file (redundant wording, i know) then its illegal. How will anything innovative ever evolve if these archaic companies prevent Amazon from running efficiently...

Al he wanted was a Pepsi.... just one Pepsi... and you wouldn't give it to him
Just ask Kirk when he comes back to get a whale.

the tower wont power during a shower
Then they settle at night in a warm place, like a solar tower,.. and at sunrise quickly warm up to a comfy 1000 degrees
What im saying, is that there is tonnes of stuff I wouldnt pay a nickel for, but would download and try if i wasnt paying.
I dunno if thats true... I have downloaded music that I have never listened to, and probably never will listen to.
Maybe your app isnt worth purchase? Without any details, your numbers could be attributed to 9 pirates and your mom paying for it.
Slashdot summaries have always read like mad-gabs to me.
SIMPSONS DID IT!

I'm surprised their lawyer team didn't work things out with the various studios, the RIAA, and the mole people before going live with this thing.
You assume its possible to 'work things out' with the music industry? That, my friend.. is the very definition of "a deal with the devil"

You can hire someone to beat your meat.. You just can't solicit a meat-beater, and the meat-beater cant solicit beat-meat. Atleast where I live.
I had way to much fun writing that.. even if I am wrong.
We're sorry.... Sorry.
