Wrong. Sony's minidiscs never took off for the intended audience.
Minidiscs are the defacto standard medium for amateur bootleggers (for concerts, etc), since they're cheap, small, and have good quality. The best are DAT recorders, but they're expensive and big.

That's why you use sneakemail. This way you can have a unique email address (whichs forwards content to your actual address) for different things. Once you've got what you need, you just tell sneakemail to delete that address.
Exactly...by adding a magnifying glass or projector to the screen, you are depriving the copyright owners by reproducing the image on an unlicensed object, such as a wall...
You will be undoubtedly sued under the DMCA...blah blah blah yipetty yay
Rote memorization isn't a sign of intellectual ability. Anybody can memorize something, given enough time. As the other reply said, med school is tough but only becuase there's a lot of memorization.
Understanding the concepts is a sign of intelligence. Being able to use applied knowledge is the same.
It kills me when people think they're really intelligent just because they got a 4.0 GPA or becuase they did really well because they "memorized the answers", not learned how to dod it....
Agree to an extent, but the reason it was last is because often the last item makes the biggest impression. The fact the "Chicks dig helper monkeys" is a big enough reason to get a helper monkey.
1) You don't have to carry a remote around, you just tell it what to do.
2) You don't need to reprogram it when you buy new merchandise.
3) It works with non-electrical things, such as "Get me a beer, Abe"
4) Chicks dig helper monkeys.
Yes, it's illegal. But when you're a parent on a fixed budget trying to take care of your kids, and your company decides not to pay you for your last two weeks of work, what do you do? Do you sit there and take it up the ass? Or do you figure out a way to make money?
I'm sorry, but if a company fucked me over by not giving me my paycheck, and not offering an explanation, things are either going to start disappearing from the office, or servers and networks are going to begin to go down, consistently.
First you turn the other cheek, if they continue, then it's an eye for an eye; that's just how the world turns.
But some things I did take:
Legit sealed copies of Windows 98, Office 2000, etc, which I could use to somewhat legitimize my computer. (at the time)
A fire extinguisher.
Lots of food.
T-shirts.
Half of a video camera. (The building had the eyepiece of an old Beta video camera stuck into the wall to make it look like a security camera. Obviously it wasn't working)
Lots of notebooks, papers, etc, for school.
And, I think that was it....the company never went out of business though; i just took it because no one was using it;)
I've wanted something like an Empeg, a system which uses a hard drive to play music. Many people have told me to just get a MP3 CD player which is a lot cheaper; but it's just not the same: I want a system so that I don't have to carry around cds anymore. The Empeg provides that.
Furthermore, the sytem isn't exactly overpriced. I've seen build-your-own systems and in order to get it as compact and as nice-looking as the Empeg, it costs over $1000. The problem for the Empeg is that it's too expensive for how much most people would use it: Most people don't drive around all day, and they're only in their cars for a very limited time. Spending $1000 on just a receiver (especially one that isn't a chick magnet like an in-dash DVD player) doesn't exactly fall into the budget of most people.
If I had $1000 to burn, I would definitely have bought one; it's exactly what I want. However, if I had a $1000 to burn, I'd also spend it on something else first...
When you're a parent taking your kids on a trip across the country to meet their grandparents or whatever you need to something to keep them occupied. Sure you have a car adapter, but car adapters
1) get in the way (especially when the kids are in the back of a minivan)
2) what happens when you've got two (or more) kids with discmans, portable game machines, or whatever...most cars don't have that many ciggarette lighter sockets, and additionally do you want that many wires around the car.
Sure there's the Gameboy. But using that logic, you could say why would anyone make a new console machine since there's already a number of them.
The parent could just buy a PSp (Playstation Portable) and use the same games for both the PS and PSp or possible even just hook the PSp up to the TV and use it as a normal gaming system. One thing I'm -really- wondering about is if Sony is willing to license the PSp to sell as an official item. Would be VERY cool if they did.

check this 'zine out: Infiltration It's about different ways to break into and explore urban areas ... pretty f*g cool

Both Microsoft and Uncle Joe in the prison cell both have similar intentions:
... now the exact method is a little different...
Both want to f*ck you over
and they should also have a hammer that beats the shit of the computer whenever you say "Motherfucker!"
or a little lesser violence with lesser curses. For example "Fucking A!" will just BSOD. Hey the irony itself would be funny...

What's it gonna take to get the DoJ to wake up and realize the companies that make up the recording industry are a worse trust as Microsoft?
Playing the same game. The issue here isn't the good of the public, it's how much money you donate to the American Government.
Are there this many idiots in the world?
Yes, as Homer put it, "Everyone is stupid except me."
not if the 18 year old intern is too busy "getting a raise" (pun fully intended)
For Christ's sake, throw some water on it or pis or something...you don't want to have to get new pants...

The other reasons are just additional pluses...

It being a troll is just assumed and considered common knowledge. By modding him down, you should be modded down -1: Redundant.

How the hell is this funny? Insightful, yes, but not funny.

The Israeli's have armed troops on every internal flight, and it has acted as a deterent so far.
Yes they do, and in plainclothes.
