This is great news for the small percentage of movies that get theatrical release. But DVD numbers are in the toilet, and that's a critical revenue stream for all your low budget and indie stuff. I'm loathe to imply that piracy does or doesn't have anything to do with the problem but this article does not paint an accurate picture of where the movie business is at.
Do you think any American port is going to welcome a fleet of armed foreign merchantmen? Unlikely. The same holds worldwide. These guys are in the commerce business and the hassle this plan would create is probably worth more than the occasional ransom.
Really? My mold-remediation guy flipped his lid when I asked about bleach. Something about how the solution is too weak to kill anything and you're providing the mold with plenty of water that it needs to thrive.
Apparently, there are specific mold-killing products that you're supposed to use in these applications.
Dual entire system tank lines everything with a switch on the dash to change 'em over. Unless you're in a warm climate with an old Mercedes, you've got to have dual everything. What you usually do for the grease is put a little 1-5 gallon marine tank in the trunk. I worked on a Jetta that had a custom veg tank built to fit in the spare tire well.
If his is like most of the other greasecars out there, it's got a dual fuel system with veggie oil on one side and standard diesel or a biodeisel mix on the other for warming up and purging the engine (cold veggie oil is thick and gelatinous). The result is a vehicle that should have legal fuel in at least one of its tanks. If one is street legal, fully taxed diesel; how does Johnny Law prove that this guy was running on the untaxed grease at the time of the arrest?
You're leaving out the critical 2-5% of the population with friends/roomates capable of 1080p. Not to mention the 20-30% who watch those screens with slack-jawed delight at the Best Buy. Supply side resolution.
With all the recent talk of 120hz, I've become convinced that there's no such thing as hi-def, only higher than what you have.
There's a slight difference between taking advantage of someone's need to feed their family and someone's need to listen to the latest K-Fed jam on the treadmill. I'm not necessarily taking sides, it's arguable that DRM hurts society but I can't think of a case where DRM is not protecting a luxury item and that's the difference. Please enlighten us all.
I've found that people are crazy with the lights. If it's not the delay, it's an insane need for brightness. Show of hands; who's running 100+ watts in their bedside reading lamp?
With the smallest CF's I can find I've got mine down to 10W with no eyestrain and the wife can sleep. My experience with CFs is that they're a tiny bit slow to warm up and the light can feel a little dingy... also some of them hum a little. It's a small price to pay.
Without a control planet or two and a few billion years for testing, you're not going to get science that satisfies the flat earth crowd and their petrochemical bankrollers. Even then they're going to take cynical pokes at the methodology of the tests and a lot of smart people with good intentions are gonna be left scratching their heads.
The fact is, these climate scientists are doing what they can with the information they have. It's not easily testable, let alone repeatable... so yeah, it's bad science in that sense I guess... but the guys who are most qualified seem to be in agreement and the rest of them seem to be bought-off cranks spitting noise to try to avoid doing anything while the froggy simmers.
yes, but the overwhelming number of google users don't give a rat's patootie what google bought this week. And of those that do, how many are going to type the wrong url in to check it out? It's not like google put utube.com on top of their main page... I think a slashdotting and the enevitable concurrent digging are going to make way bigger problems for these poor pipesmen.
That's funny, I live in central Vermont and we get 80% of the sun that Florida gets. There are plenty of people up here comfortably living off-grid with solar systems.
First of all, fuck you for being the 'love it or leave it type'. You don't like listening to people like him, then you can go to China or anywhere else free speech isn't tolerated. Americans are allowed to hate anything about their country that they choose and are allowed to seek change any legal way they want; including by complain on slashdot.
Secondly, the point of the post is that the US and EU are muscling every nation into these kind of copyright regulations. So, leaving it, is becoming increasingly less of an option.
Those games are definitely not for my mom but Saint's Row should provide her the opportunities to both represent and smack ho's that she's been waiting for in a next gen system.
Here in the US, it's increasingly difficult to even find ripe fruit. Bananas are hard and green to the point where people see a yellow banana, let alone one with a few dark spots, and they freak out... Plums, apricots, nectarines... hard as rocks. I guess they have to be hard so the grocers can stack 'em 18 inches deep without the bottom of the pile getting pulped.
Instead of inventing some fancy sticker nonsense, how about just putting the ripe stuff out where people can get at it.
Yup. When I played the F.E.A.R. demo on my PC and realized that the fx5700 was getting a little long in the tooth, I decided to go for the 360 instead of a new video card/mobo/CPU. Also, the challenge of using the awkward controller has made shooters... I wanna say fun but different is a better way to put it.

Johnny Halliday stands to make a tidy penny here.

The Roman Empire, The Dreamcast and Soviet Communism.
Yes but if you want to see how it all turns out you're also going to have to lay down good money for a ticket to Power Pack.

A more than reasonable argument would be, I drive on the highway with one tank and switch to the other for offroad use.

It's jergens, kleenex and HD-DVD over Neutrogena, an old sweat sock and blu-ray by a landslide.
The problem is the question they asked. Not, "How can we make a secure product?" but "How can we make the product we have secure."

I read the headline and thought they banned games like football, dodgeball and red rover. Now that might be a step in the right direction.
Not to mention those that bought PSPs and swore, after the 4th cripple patch, never to buy another sony gaming product no matter the cost.
Those games are definitely not for my mom but Saint's Row should provide her the opportunities to both represent and smack ho's that she's been waiting for in a next gen system.
