I have never understood why the shift had to be exactly 60 minutes. What is there so magical about 60 minutes ? Can't some statistician work for five minutes with a cosine law specialist and compute exactly what would be the optimum time shift ?
It's not like it would be much more confusing than what we have now, and besides, it only happens twice a year.
It frees up wasted analog RF spectrum space, this can be as much as 6x less when moving to digital format
Leave my goddamn analog spectrum alone ! If your "compression" is working so well, why don't you take your "compressed" streams and "compress" them together ?
Why is there even such a thing as an "official release date" ? There have been plenty of times where I went to a store daily, asked when xyz would be released, tried again the day after, the day after the day after, then just gave up did not buy the product even when it was "released".
A few months ago, I downloaded the new Gorillaz album, thought it would be a nice birthday present for a friend, only to hear the newt day that it was not due until a month later.
I can't understand how artificially setting "release dates" is not hurting sales more than it drives them.
She, for one, should have known centuries in advance about the Deep Impact mission. So she is actually a bad astrologist for not having taken it into account, and also for not knowing about it.
6:31 AM -- Go to the bathroom
6:32 AM -- Get coffee
6:35 AM -- Open Firefox, go to/. and read that there's a new patent infringment case
Somehow I get the impression the fact you spend 1 minute in the bathroom is not unrelated to the fact your life revolves around being connected to/. from 0635.
Redubbing and distributing other people's works is all Disney is good for these days.
Oh you mean the Grimm Brothers' Snowwhite, Charles Perrault's sleeping Beauty, Collodi's Pinocchio, Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland, Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book or AA Milne's Winnie the Pooh didn't count ?
What I never understood about cold fusion, is why that would be desirable. Isn't the goal of fusion to produce heat to turn steam into mechanical energy that we can transform into general purpose electricity ?
Refuse to be part of the system. If enough people do it, then things *will* change;
No, the system will sue you.
Besides, the problem with "voting with your wallet", as with "voting", is that there is no way to know why you "voted" that way ? Is it because of IP rights ? Because the CDs were too expensive ? Because the artist sucks ? Because it is too/too little popular ? The only reaction the **AA will only have to you not buying their records will be to make it even shittier and raise the price to make up with revenue loss.
It's sadly the same with voting in general. Democracy is still the best -as in least- system around but generally elections are about choosing which bastard will pass the parliamentary vote no one wants.
The same for inventors. Only the original inventor gets any share of the copyright.
Are you aware that most inventions today are developed with million dollars budgets, that they are built on top of other inventions and that this makes the little man cannot develop ideas on his own ?
You forgot the most important feature : it's connected to the POTS, at fees lower than the POTS. You can call anyone in the world for a very low, low price.

Windows NT was at version 3.51 like what, 11 years ago ?

Even better yet, hire rms to do it. He's done that before.

That's if you believe in these "telescopes"

A message to you retards who passed to the metric system 200 years late, or are not even that advanced yet :
The abbreviation of kilometres per hour is not kph, it is km/h.
A kph is a kilo pico hour, which is a nano hour, which is 3.6 microseconds. It is a measure of time, not a measure of velocity.

2002 is calling. They want their punchline back.
Tada-chack, zing !

Unfortunately the parent is wrong in an important aspect - the man is Marc Andreesesn, not Marc Andresson. Thought I would bring that mistake to light
That's one of the first bad ideas from Google. How much time until email address harvesters just drop the suffix and have a legitimate address ?
To elaborate, in Belgium and France only morons say "Votre honneur", normal people say "Mr/Mme le/la Juge".
What are Blackies ?
