$5k per album? Ok, I'll give you that. So, say they sell 1k copies, online. For break-even, that's $5/album. For $5 profit per sale, that's $10. But they don't sell 1k copies. They sell way, way more than that. Copying electronic media for online transmission probably has a fixed cost, independent of the album (since they make deals with ISPs), and probably should be accounted for in the 5k anyway, How do you justify their prices then? Or the ridiculous amounts that journals and their publication houses charge for e-copies of articles published by them? I think the articles business has teamed up with the MAFIAA, or atleast is teaching them a thing or two about how to screw over people.
I'm still confused. What legal obligation is there upon fb to allow this access? Yes, the judge ordered the couple to share their passwords so they can look for evidence, but (here, I assume, for I haven't read the order) has he ordered fb to allow this? If so, should fb be allowed to respond? I mean, if fb hasn't got a court order about this, shouldn't they be within their rights to close the account, citing the order to the couple (which would be a public document)? This is, after all, different from you shredding the documents. Its like you giving the bank locker key to your wife and the bank throwing the safe in the river. The safe can be dredged up again, just like fb would probably not actually delete the data, and even if they did, would probably retain backups.
But how do we know there's evidence that could have been hidden or destroyed unless fb lets us look?
And does legal pairing imply that they share intellectual property too, like physical property and wealth? Not that I like the idea of IP.
Be a little less biased. Look through this: http://www.haier.com/index.html.
We have Haier Japan, Haier India, Haier Europe, Haier Russia. That doesn't mean they are branding it as American/European/Indian/Japanese/Russian/whatever. those are just marketing divisions. A lot of companies have those.
You mean I should sit on a serious (serious sam, perhaps) and note it?
Sorry.:) Also on a serious note, that's what happens when those in power haven't the faintest idea what they're on about. Like the new American CIO spouting buzzwords or the judge in Britain wanting BT to block 0.0.0.0/0. I still am not sure that voting for a different candidate is going to make a difference.:(
Okay, Pearl Harbour, perhaps? I'm not American, so I'm not sure which incident would do that best. But its like they say, everyone has his price. Or is it tipping point? Whatever. I prefer football transfer rumours.:P
We have the Internet today, and something like that is likely to persist (assumption). So hobbyists and collectors will not only be easier to find, information about obscure digital media are a lot more liely to exist in some niche of the much-more-searchable Internet. While analog playback is obvious, consider that a disaster capable of wiping out every data center, and standards archives, would probably destroy the infra needed to maintain the film.
Wouldn't the same thing be applicable to punch cards, tape, Betamax, VHS, floppy drives, CDs, DVDs, BluRay, HDDs, SSDs? With proper handling and storage, any of those could last just as long, and have better storage density.
So simply doing sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras or sudo apt-get install smplayer didn't work? I think you might have had the 'missing dependencies of vlc' problem. But even a cursory search for media players on Linux would show mplayer as one of the best around, at par with vlc, and it has plenty of frontends.
In my case the steps would be:
Plug in USB
Install
Install wifi drivers
Install vlc/smplayer + flash
done. (I use ATI Radeon, so I skip those drivers.)
Paid off? The judge who reduced charges, obviously. Why else would he used the wrong way to go about it, especially when its been done before? The judge who reversed that judgement is the fair one. At least, he explained how it should have been done.
The leaked builds of Win8 have had all this for a while now. I think I used one of them in April or May. ISO mounting, I did use. But couldn't find the promised PDF reader. Here's something I wrote way back in April: https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150178055628121 Plenty of blogs reported this then.
For me, that would be 100-tab total, split over a dozen windows. Happens to me too. When using a reference sites or journal repos, the number of tabs quickly balloons as I start looking at related topics, and start testing them. When the number of tabs in a window grows unwieldy, I start shifting some to new windows. Then you look up the same things in half a dozen other sites, for a more balanced point of view. 30-40 tabs is peanuts then.
But I really think from an end-user perspective and a third-party-developer perspective GNOME and KDE are different operating systems. As much as MeeGo is a different operating system.
Moronic summary. Last I heard, Ubuntu != GNOME != OS != KDE.

There's a whole paragraph? I'd say it's more like a line.

I'm confused. Did the program derive the equations a priori or ab initio? If a priori, wow!

Ha! here's the psychopath. He just manipulated 5 morons into giving him mod points. El neato!

Before I RTFS, I thought it meant tablets cracking> and people having to buy new ones. I mean how durable can they be? Then I RTFS..

It would be better if you use the Add-on Compatibility Reporter. That way, if you find an add-on works, you can mark it so, and the guys at mozilla get to know that. But I doubt they'd work on it. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

Abandoned. I believe the class-action lawsuit it begat forced fb to do so.
Keep posting CmdrTaco! Especially about those interesting trips you take!
You mean help piracy. The number of cracks that attack registry keys... 123,785,496.. no wait, 2.3568, no 1,555,524,285,233,131,651.
