    Because the fraction of P2P traffic that is legitimate isn't very large.

    It looks like you are right. Then last four or five episodes haven't been worth much though, they are dragging things out.

  5. Disposal... on Changing a School's Tech Disposal Policy? · · Score: 1

    For large institutions, disposal means "sale" just as often as it means "dumpster".

    Maybe check into the specifics of how things are handled.

    because you also know where you are likely to disagree with them when reading their new reviews. That's sort of a good idea, but no one is going to be in complete agreement with you, not every time.

    The dude melting in Raiders is pretty graphic. What was more graphic than that in Last Crusade?

    To clarify, I'm talking about his written reviews:

    He hasn't reviewed Beerfest there, as far as I can tell.

    I don't think I even have access to the TV show.

    I don't really read that many reviews, but when I am on the fence, I go look at what Ebert has to say. He's probably overly sentimental for a lot of people.

  12. Re:complete BS on Early Review Calls New Indiana Jones Film Dreadful · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You just need to find a critic or two that you usually agree with. Much better than random fan reviews, because you also know where you are likely to disagree with them when reading their new reviews.

    Anyway, exploits aren't something that always show up in new code, they are often found in old code, so a given exploit will affect several versions of whatever package, and several distros will have a version of the package that is susceptible to a given new exploit. That is, security problems are almost always a good deal older than their discovery.

    There are 2 or 3 episodes of Battlestar Galactica left. Maybe 4, I don't know. Not very many.

    After that, it's Galactica 2010, The Adventures of Six, and Cylons Rising.

    It depends on what you consider disclosure. If they post the agreement that they consider the ticket to be issued under and make it fairly clear that the agreement exists, they have a pretty good argument for disclosure, even if they don't shove it in your face and make you sign something stating that you have read and understood the terms.

  16. Re:Record Companies Owe ME ! on UMG Calls Infringement Damages "Excessive" · · Score: 1

    You think that they don't have sufficient notice at the ticket sale location? Sure they do, because they have lawyers who tell them to do stuff like that.

  19. Re:Record Companies Owe ME ! on UMG Calls Infringement Damages "Excessive" · · Score: 1

    Entering the venue is usually pretty voluntary. They probably even disclose the terms prior to purchase.

  20. Re:Record Companies Owe ME ! on UMG Calls Infringement Damages "Excessive" · · Score: 1

    Tickets usually say something like "by entering the venue, you agree blah blah blah".

    Of course, the blah blah blah is a bunch of language explaining how you don't have any rights and that you grant a worldwide license, etc.

    Get an American Gladiators t-shirt and some guns. Then, every time someone says "I love that show" to you, kill them.

    Be sure to flash the correct signs to other American Gladiators so that they don't kill you for wearing the t-shirt.

    So in China, the government extols the virtues of urinating in your soup while they urinate in your soup, but in the US, the government extols the virtues of urine free soup while urinating in your soup?
