I guess they want to take on the currently established market leader....Kazza. I just hope Netflix edits out those annoying messages, the ones that say this is a screener copy only so call this number if you are not suppose to be watching this.
Assuming the price is at equilibrium with supply and demand for both markets that means Canadians are willing to bear a higher price.
Of course the fact is that Canada's economy is more socialistic than than the US also plays into it too (the reason for the drug prices being different).
The next Ask Slashdot is "How do you find a leak in an international space station"
Of course we all know what the answers will be: - Use google you lazy bastards - Linux already does this - Forget about it, leaks are not important - See, I told you Microsoft sucks
Wal-Mart has several advantages. First it can blast out info about this service though it's retail stores. Second they will be cheaper than Apple (or else they wouldn't be entering the market), Wal-Mart has a ton of power over suppliers and can get their prices very low. Apple or any of the other services don't have the brick and motor sales has leverage. Wal-Mart undercut Netflix's prices and they will do it to Apple.
I wonder if this is sign on how the merger will effect the product lines. Will we see a lot of HP stuff disappear in favor of Compaq stuff? Obviously the Ipaq and Compaq's servers were doing much better than HPs. Both their workstations sucks so they probably can't decide which crap to get rid of yet.
Another thing I wonder if this will minimize competition especially in the area of PocketPC (even thought most Slashdotters could care less about these).
Well it already seems slashdotted just after 2 posts. Anyway Anandtech.com has a sub $200 video card shoot out and one of the benchmark test is using the Unreal 2003 engine. So if you are in the market for a new video card and plan on making Unreal 2003 a major game played on the card check out this site: http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html ?i=1608
After reviewing CBDTPA http://cryptome.org/broadbandits.htm I found that the bill makes the following statements: "13) Consumers receive content such as video or programming in analog form." First off we all not this is not entirely true for everybody. Maybe this statement means sum content.
"(14) When protected digital content is converted to analog for consumers, it is no longer protected and is subject to conversion into unprotected digital form that can in turn be copied or redistribute illegally." So now analog should be illegal? I believe audio gurus will still tell you that analog can be better in quality compared to digital. I am not saying digital is bad, as I prefer it, but I know many people who would not want to give up analog audio.
These are just some of the weird things in this bill. And on top of that there are several early statements which contradict this: "(10) Today, cable and satellite have a competitive advantage over digital television because the closed nature of cable and satellite systems permit encryption, which provides some protection for digital content. " So wait analog is safe?
Of course the entire nature of this bill is wrong, but there are many small things that are wrong with this bill including a lot of contradictions and facts that are not true.
Boss: "Sam I need you to find all the porn you can using p2p programs"
Sam: "Excuse me?"
Boss: "Find me some good preteen porn and Britney Spears giving a blow job, put them on a CD-R, than put them on my desk.......oh yea right up a report on it and give it to Senate"
Sam: "What ever you say boss"
I was going through slashdot withdraw. It has been a bad weekend for me. In-laws in town, slashdot down, can't check freshmeat down too, wanted to start working with mysql their site down too, and finally found out I was out of Mountain Dew last night while working on my box.
I better have an explanation,

Freeware/GNU License. This also includes any method of distributing any software
for free. Royalties will be collected for each time your software is taken for
free. Royalties fees will be based on similar products that aren't given out
for free. An example of this would be an OS distributed that is free would cost
100 dollars in royalty fees per each time the software taken. The 100 dollars
in based on the cost of other OS software products for sale.

I was kinda thinking the "scene" from Wild Things would be a little funner to act out.

I am still using IPv2, if it is not broken don't fix it. I hate these IP guys, always trying to make you buy a new version every 20 years.
The fact that HP helped develop the Itanium might be why they want to use it.

Make dinner while suring porn!
Get the two esstentails in one sitting, porn and food.
AOL should go into that market. There will be 0 competion and should be easy to buy off the government to keep it that way.
