What you say stands, just to clear up a couple of points 1) What about (channel) five? 2) The BBC have 2 analog stations (with opt-outs), and 4 digital (news24/parliment/[choice|cbeebies]/[four|cbbc]). Thats 96 hours a day. 3) There are 5 national bbc radio stations (1,2,3,4,5) on analog, and another 4 or 5 digital. There are 3 national analog independent stations (talk, classic, virgin), and a few on digital. There are more local and university radio stations then bbc local stations - although most come under about 5 big networks (GWR, Century, Galaxy etc) 4) The BBC is pretty independent, more so then the biased views of other stations which exist to futhur their own viewership and therefore profits, and the CEO's political stance.
A reason I buy DVD's is that they arent ridicuously expensive. CD's are. However songs are so ten-a-penny now its not even worth downloading them. I rarely even play my mp3's (most ripped from my parents collection when I left home) - Theres usually something on one of the 15 radio stations.
Probably because there is nothing to be gained by buying a copy of movie or a song after pirating it
Apart from TShirts, concert tickets, furthur albums with lyrics and pictures and extras and stuff, to see it on the big screen if it ever comes out in your country, to buy on DVD, to buy a DVD player, to buy other DVD's.
Case in point.
I downloaded SG1 episodes when they broadcast in america (months before the UK).
This encouraged me to buy a DVD rom and DVD's, as I learnt that I could watch things on my computer in relative comfort.
This then made me buy a dvd player (so I could watch it in the living room with friends on a 20" TV - and they could use it.
This led me to buying a widescreen TV, to take advantage of the 16:9 SG1 dvd's, and other films.
This then led me to buying a 5.1 amplifier and surround sound speakers to get the full effect.
Thats arround $1,000 hardware and $1800 DVD's. All from downloading SG1 epsidoes.
My first real distro was redhat 5.2 (I'd tried suse about 6 months before but X didnt have drivers for my SIS6326 graphics card). Install went OK, followed a nice fat book I got "Mastering redhat 5.2" or something. Set up lots of partitions, everything was fine.
Year later my system was getting a little dead from too many --force-deps. I installed Debian 2.2 when I went to uni, September 2000. IIRC it was no harder then the redhat install. Since then I've installed debain on a few other machines, no problem.
Modern distros like Mandrake and Redhat 8, 9 or whatever, have cushy graphics, but I ran 5.2 in text mode and didnt have a problem, even coming from a windows background. Possibly because before windows I'd had a dos background all the way back to dos 5
Actually you can have a TV without a license, just not receive uk originated transmissions. When the van comes a calling, tell them to get stuffed and come back with a search warrant.
Reading this article, I know you didn't ask about videos, but I expect to see them show up on Chuck's Weird World any day. hit me. Every industry, bar none, was started by sex. From VCR's to the internet, from bars to printing, from religion to *sound of religious fanatics hitting me over the head*...
Anyway, the first low cost private space travel will come after you can get "Saucy Satelites". Sex will drive the space industry as it has every other industry in history. It's what we are about afterall.
Any life on venus must be female, afterall, men are from mars....
Also Remember that astronomers once said Mars was covered with a complex network of irrigation ditches, which implied the presence of life. Take this with a grain of salt - we know so little about our own solar system that we must treat all discoveries as hypotheses - nothing more, nothing less.

Our uni teaches java. They dont care what you use to write the stuff, although for GUI work they recommed JBuilder or Forte. They dont care what you use to compile the stuff as long as you come out with java byte code. What they do care about is your source code print out showing that you understand why using a bubble sort in this case is bad, and using a pivot in that case is good.
By the time you reach your final year they dont care what language you write in. After all its just a tool. Make the right choice and you're set.
In the end a programming language is just a material, a compiler a tool. What you want is a good grounding that can be applied to any language, program or OS.
I was looking up information on the u.s. emergency broadcast system after a similar plan to the "Amber Plan" was proposed here in the UK. The information I read said that it was only used when the authorities believed that the kidnapping was not a domestic matter (the kind that means the kid will be dead in a few hours or days).
Chances are their family have been in contact. Hotmail addresses are usually easy to crack, especially when you have access to the person owning the account. Click "remind me of password", answer the question - 9/10 of them are "mothers maiden name" - which you probably know, and read email.
OK, It's not legal, its not moral, but its a way. My friend (a real one - not an urban legend), cracked his girlfriends email account (which I moaned at him for a while). Found out she was sleeping with someone else, or at least telling her friends she was.

Your argument is moot- you're discussing material officially classified as Secret, Top Secret, or in the case of Alan Turing's work Ultra Secret.
I'm still waiting for the publication of the "Super mega ultra top secret" stuff!
near my girlfriends apartment
This slashdotter has a girlfriend
Are you sure that she's not a girl he's stalking and pretending she's his girlfriend? Sounds more likely. Uh-oh, gotta go!
It's an ok film up until they escape ("Dont call me tiny!", "Scotty, the doors?!", "You wanted adventure, this is adventure! Get in the closet!").
Officer: Why is there an open bottle of vodka in your hand?
Man: Oh, I had my laptop playing a DVD and the battery nearly died. I forgot my car adapter, so I was just trying to refill the battery.
now why would you be driving around and watching a dvd at the same time?
I dont know, but if he says he's watching a dvd, chances are thats whats causing the swerving. You cant nick him for drink-driving!
I bet the folks in Moscow are feeling a lot better now
Why? Because the European space agency launched a rocket?
It's like trying to get people to switch to Linux by lacing nekkid girlie pictures into the kernel. A shallow attempt to spice something up.
Link?
Is there any way to mod this story as (-1: Ewww)?

Has anyone ever had sex in space? Specifcally zero-g?
It was a cheap £30 ($45) webcam - his site says a "ToUcam" webcam from phillips (Possibly This one
she: is it me, or is it getting hotter in here??
Perfect! It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes.
so 'two movies on 1 CD' sounds, well, a bit far fetched...
Porn films are usually short (or so my friend told me), so 2 40 minute films could fit on a cd.

It might be a good first step.
God is the only form of extraterrestrial life that we could ever possibly communicate with. SETI is a joke, people.
