It takes time to develop the film, so that's why it can't be shown at 6 o'clock. "We'll show the film at 11," became a standard catchphrase during the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Then the portable videotape was invented in 1982 (VHS-C and Betacam), and that eliminated the delay of film development.
Not sure where you got that idea. I still have a Sony stereo, Sony PS2, and Sony proprietary CDs. I am boycotting their future products though (i.e. no PS3 in my future).
To protest against President Agent Smith in the year 2018, and president smith doesn't want that, so he turns them off.
Or to switch-off foxnews.com and msnbc.com (per the stated goals of a certain congressman). You made a noble attempt to make the "kill switch" sound good, but it really isn't. It's too much power in the hands of too few.
While congress may have a legit argument to censor the public airwaves (i.e. block nudity reaching children), they have zero legitimacy to censor private websites, fed by private cables, into private homes. It's a private matter that should be handled at the level of the customer Not the hands of a few oligarchs.
>>>I keep see people like you posting in Sony related news threads.
If people have the right to say "I love my PS3" or "I heart Sony" then other people have the Equal right to say, "I boycott Sony." That's how free speech works - both positive AND negative thoughts get expressed.
I hope he does get fired. And then sues Sony for several million in lost wages, damage to reputation, and just general punishment by the Government towards the corporation.
That's foolishness. There's simply not enough room in the radio spectrum to have everyone using internet via 4G (plus already-existing radio, television, emergency services). Maybe if the users were throttled to 500k each, then it would work, but not otherwise.
WIRED internet is the only way we'll ever get people to 3000k minimum speed (per FCC specs) (and as the Japanese have done with their VH-DSL).
>>>That would be a pretty big screw up by the FCC.
The FCC has been screwing-up a lot lately. Like the claim "all you need is a digital-to-analog converter box". They forgot to tell the people, per the FCC's own engineering specs, that you also need the antenna raised to 20 feet height. DTV power levels were too low to penetrate into homes unless you live within 15 miles of the transmitter.
They also screwed-up Digital radio when they specified 1% power levels would provided acceptable range. Later they changed the 1% to 10%, due to many complaints.
And the FCC also approved Internet Gadgets to broadcast on the TV Band without requiring a license. i.e. Right over top of existing ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, et cetera stations. Brilliant move FCC.
So yeah this G4 and GPS frequency overlap is just another in a long list of FCC frak-ups.
>>>you can piss on Toyota just because you don't like them
Toyota is a THING - I neither like nor dislike it, but merely observe the quality of its product has gone to shit since the 90s. The megacorp has experienced one failure after another, such that even an american company like Ford makes higher-reliability cars.
If the killers are members of the Christian or Islamic church, then the members of said church are guilty by negligence ----- because they failed to keep their brothers in line. It's just the same as I cannot join the Nazi Party without also tarnishing myself with that dark, dark past. I am guilty by association with those murderers.
Or as Jesus said: "Do not let your brother sin, for his sin is thy sin as well."
God you're dumb. You really think tyranny only happens with just ONE person??? Apparently you've never heard of Tyranny by Oligarchy (several leaders), or Tyranny by Majority (51%).
A monarchist system is tyranny by oligarchs (the nobles/lords) while a democratic system is tyranny of the dominant class (in the US: white; christian) over the minorities (colored; non-christians).
You mean ONCE. And I'm not convinced the US investigation was truly "independent" given how corporations control the government. Also it was rather flawed - they are investigating software which, as we engineers realize, can appear to be 100% operational and yet suddenly crash/act buggy at random times. The NTSA doesn't have the skillset necessary to declare "software was bugfree".
God you're dumb. REREAD: "Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote." i.e. The lamb would still be alive. Its right to life could not be taken away by a vote.
>>>Yes, you own the console, and Sony has been kind enough to grant you a license to use a certain bit of their software on it.
I have a license agreement too. It says Sony has to service my willy at least once a month. If they don't agree to these terms, they may refund my $700 and come to collect the PS3.
End Of Line. ----- I'd also like to see the CEO die. He is getting pretty old, and maybe the new one won't be a dick.
If the purpose of the War Between the Member States was to "end slavery" why did the President say at the midpoint that he would legalize slavery, if that's what it took to end the war and reunite the Union?
(Yes he actually said that - the quote is available on google.)
>>>I've been too comfortable, sitting in a big desk chair all day, hardly moving a mouse a few inches
Precisely. My arms already hurt just imagining waving them around all day in my office. I prefer the current interface where I just lay my arm on the table, and barely move at all except to adjust the mouse & click. NON-labor rather than wearing myself-out like a factory worker doing repetitive motions.
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

I don't buy the National Transportation Board's results. Especially given Congressional testimony by one of those drivers that she *shifted to neutral* and the car still kept accelerating.
And then of course Toyota admitted that the car ignores such inputs. Seems like a problem with the control logic.
Also this isn't Toyota's first problem. They've had previous engineering mistakes, like a V-6 engine that ran too hot, turned the oil to sludge, and died after 20-30,000 miles. THEN to add insult to injury, Toyota blamed the drivers for "failure to change oil" even though drivers had dealer records proving they serviced the car on schedule.
That led to a class-action lawsuit - Toyota versus U.S. and Toyota lost.
>>>we have a Constitution under which the states gave up most of their sovereignty.
FALSE. Only a few powers were assigned to the central government (as enumerated by the author James Madison), and the Constitution reserves almost all other power to the Member States (see amendment 10). Exactly the same as the EU Lisbon Treaty does for its member states.
The EU and US are more alike in structure then different.
>>>That could be related to the fact that Germany, France, et al are actually sovereign states...
There are two points of view on this:
- The original 14 States are also sovereign (from 1776 to 1783) and did not give-up that sovereignty just because they joined the Articles of Confederation.
- Alternate argument: If the american States gave-up their sovereignty when they joined the United States, then likewise the european States gave-up their sovereignty when the joined the EU.
- Note that both these points can not both be true at the same time. You must choose one, or the other.
The men who flew the plane into a building didn't have a right to vote.
The Minutemen, KKK, Huffington Post, and other hate groups DO have the right to vote. The only thing that protects me is the Law, but that protection would disappear once we convert to a simple 51% majority rules Democracy (as the slashdot article is proposing).
As for the anti-Christian stuff, I wouldn't be able to criticize them (or Muslims) if they didn't do hateful things. Perhaps you should stop giving me examples - stop the hate
>>>it's direct democracy rather than representative
Which means all it will take is a simply 51% vote for the Conservative Christians (who are the majority) to exterminate those nasty Muslims, and playboy subscribers, and anyone else they hate..... just like they did during the Catholic Inquisitions and witch-burnings of the 1400s-1600s.
Yeah. Great idea. (frowns). BTW if I sound a little bitter, it's because I just finished reading an article about a Tea Party-affiliated "Minuteman" that busted into a Hispanic home and shot an 8-yr-old girl just because she was brown.
With nutjobs like this in an existence, I do NOT want a democracy where they can simply vote to kill/jail people whenever they want. I want a Supreme LAW that will protect my and my neighbors' rights from the typical vote-casting idiot.
Power of the Majority (i.e. white or German) to squash and exterminate the minority (i.e. black, Japanese, or jew). Is anyone thinks this "remove power from laws" is a good idea, then they truly don't understand what they are endorsing. Tyranny of the majority destroys human rights; it does not protect them.
See Athens. See what happened to Socrates (sentenced to death simply because the majority did not like him).
