As someone who watched a valiant moron urinate on a hot wire of a fence I say bullshit to anyone saying its not true. He could have faked the pain and danced around but I've never heard of a person being able to swell their sack to grapefruit size at will.
Sorry, but if you take away all of the intellectual property that Nintendo owns, you generally have an audio track that wouldn't get many listeners if it were a pod cast. This is one of those things that the vast majority of people on Youtube have already known, but have been quietly hoping the intellectual copyright owners wouldn't notice. Let's Play videos are utilizing content that the Youtuber doesn't own in order to make money. This has nothing to do with people doing reviews, or tips videos, multiplayer highlight reels or showcases. This has to do with people doing Let's Play videos. They have basically been making money by showing a potential customer everything that they would have had to pay to see otherwise. Games I've loved playing? Why would I want to watch another person play through them instead of playing them myself? I might need help here and there but that's what tips videos are for, and they are not being treated the same way by Nintendo. The same thing happens when a video has a short clip of a feature film. Large portions of the work are not being broadcast so no one cares.
Take the premise of a Let's Play video and attempt to apply the logic, (that people are using here to defend it), on any other medium. A guy reading every line of a book and commenting here and there. Someone else watching an entire movie and commenting here and there. They are exactly the same thing and I don't get how the latter are obvious examples of taking profits for content you didn't wholly create but the former is not. Yes, it has the potential to create buzz but absolutely no argument can be made that it increases sales above what they would have been had the individual enjoying the content bought it from a review instead of enjoying it entirely for free. Do I watch streaming cams from a dozen different sites because I can? Yes I do. Out of hundreds that I've seen over the years, I've bought three. Would hosts from these sites have even the slightest right to complain if told they had to stop? Not even a tiny bit. Not unless they wanted to sound like idiots and hypocrites. Hell, Youtube's ToS even says that if most of the footage in a video is in game footage they aren't supposed to be monetized any way. They only allowed it to happen because no IP owner has spoken up against it until now, but they put the language in there because they knew it was wrong to begin with.
Curious if MS could offer exactly the same thing in a generic website video viewer? Make it so that it works on a lot of different sites, then just have the user input the url of the site they want to play videos from. Seems like a way to give us what we want while indirectly telling Google to piss off.
And I completely agree. Software should be treated like a recipes. People who put the time in to figure out how something is cooked can easily make a generic version. People still pay for the good versions of things because everything else that goes into the product is better.
I feel the same way. I think a lot of people are just too stuck up to enjoy shows that aren't blockbuster, AAA quality TV. My hobby is map making and scripting for games I play and I usually have something playing on a secondary monitor whenever I'm coding. Just finished watching Continuum and thought it was great. There have been a couple times I thought about canceling over the last five years but I always find something interesting by searching through the different sections and stick around.
lol wtf kind of bootleg computer have you put together that doesn't already run portal, at max settings, at an fps faster than your monitor can refresh? Or does 'run better' mean you just feel better inside somehow?
Asinine is writing a long winded reply when you should have RTFA. It wasn't water it was toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil. Kids have been mixing vinegar and baking soda with the same results for a long time. The difference here being lye is caustic and could have blinded someone. She knew what she was doing and choosing the chemicals created an explosive device. Criminal charges seem far reaching but expulsion does not. I made quite a few things like this growing up and not once was stupid enough to think it was a good idea to bring them to school.
Lol. Says every jackass who ignores the millions of people still using xp or who just switched to 7. I love when people act like every entity with 1000+ workstations are anywhere near giving a shit about new tech. The vast majority of people using computer at a desk are doing so at companies that probably don't have cloud anything on their 10 year plan.
Yes, entirely accurate. I also specifically mentioned that looking in through the window does not allow for a search as you have a reasonable expectation of privacy where you wouldn't opening the front door. Opening the door allows them a legal vantage point into your home as the act of opening the door itself is your direct allowance of whomever you opened the door to to view anything beyond it.
In the USA at least, if the police have a legal reason to enter your home, (even including you allowing them in through the front door for any reason), they can then seize anything they can see that is also known to be illegal from any vantage point they have that is legal. Standing outside your window and looking in is not a legal vantage point, but you opening the front door would create one at the entryway just as the warrant makes your entire kitchen one. If they respond to a noise complaint, which doesn't even require a warrant, then see a bag of weed on the table when you open the door, they absolutely can enter your home, seize the drugs and arrest you. Its called Plain View Doctrine and its irrelevant to the warrant in as far as the photo in your post is concerned. It definitely could result in a more inclusive warrant being issued to search for more evidence concerning the murder, but that still wouldn't negate the fact that the original warrant would allow them to seize the photo on the fridge, a gun with the serial number filed off or anything else illegal that is in plain view, or in any place they expected to find the marijuana they came for in your kitchen.
Are you actually suggesting, with that headline, that Win8 is to blame for Macs selling less as well? I love when fanboys try to write opinions as 'news'. PC sales started slumping before Win8 ever came out. Guess consumers are psychic and just had a feeling since we know how up to date the masses are when it comes to tech that's in the pipeline. Either that or the obvious answer is the right one. People are treating the PC market like the TV market. Most people have reached a point where good enough is good enough. There aren't really that many reasons for people to want to upgrade any more. We aren't seeing the same increases in computing power and speed at the same rates that we used to. Going from my DX66 to a 166 was a huge leap after a few years. The 4.2GHz 3770K I have is not likely to be easily replaced with a similarly priced 11GHz PC and I wouldn't spend the money any way if it did. My current computer does what I need it to. My mom has a 1.6GHz single core and couldn't care less. It runs Facebook and Youtube just fine...
If the baton never touches the sheet stand, maybe someone your knows in the choir can work out some system of a touch to the hand at those critical times. I knew a blind trumpet player who learned by ear, but had the same issues. Once he got going and the tempo stayed the same he was good, but his fellow brass player next to him would rotate his foot over and tap the blind guy's foot to signal the start or some other point that he had no other reference to.
Ah, valid criticisms. Those I like. Such as pointing out that only the worst type of loser chooses to check the box 'Post Anonymously'. If you have an opinion, speak it. Being afraid of judgment from people you have never or will never meet shows an extreme lack of self esteem. Type out your opinions like an ADULT and be done with it.
"smart-assed immature punks' are the people who honestly think anyone gives a damn about spelling mistakes on the internet. Should I berate you endlessly for not putting a comma between miserable and worthless as you should have? It would be a waste of both our times and we both know it. Adult only references a person's age, not their ability to not act like a know-it-all piece of shit who feels that everyone should be grateful at being corrected on a matter they care nothing about. Save us the shame of knowing about your neurotic tendencies and keep them to yourself.
"It might not be legit, but you aren't really giving the consumer choices," Just because they are choices you do not like, does not mean they are not choices. Have thieves seriously gotten this stupid? Where exactly do you claim to live where high-speed internet is available but where you cannot subscribe to services that give you access to this content legally? You cite impatience as the only reason to justify your actions? The choice is there and YOU CHOSE to cut the cord. Oh noes! I have to wait a year to buy something on blu ray or dvd. My life as I know it is over:( Fucking crybabies...
Lol that's ignorance at its worst. Chapter one is a summary of the first week. Chapter two starts by saying back on that previous day, this is what happened. Had you ever read the book instead of just parroting what some other ignorant person told you, you might have made an argument that couldn't be disproved in a one minute Google search. Its a proven fact that there are no contradictions in the Bible only people's ignorance of what it really says. Or my favorite, people using problems with the English language to 'prove' something the original texts never said.
And what does anything that you've typed have to do with the issue at hand? That's right you missed the point. Oh yea, Lemons are yellow. Indisputable, irrelevant fact. I win.
A tv show isn't personally identifiable information that could be used to scam someone or steal their identity. If it was then the guy in question would be an accessory to those crimes by providing that information to someone who used it for those purposes.
Its a good thing people working construction or any job outside or or any job where electricity is not readily available can just turn on their interior lights so they can maximize their work day. I wonder why my landscapers never thought of that. Probably because they're not geniuses like what we have posting here on slashdot.
From someone that lives near Cincinnati I can tell you people had been pissed since the beginning. It all boiled over when a guy was issued a speeding ticket from one of Elmwood Place's cameras that was for a parked car. The camera sends the picture of your car with the citation and his was parked on the curb so we all knew it wouldn't be long before these cameras were gone. Total scam from the start.
My Ghostery blocked 14 scripts from loading on that site. The sad thing is, with all that blocked, the entire left and right quarter of the screen came up blank. If a site needs that much revenue from ads for mostly re-reporting what other people have already written they do not deserve to be in business in the first place. I can't stand that most of these types of sites have nothing but garbage opinions and things I've read elsewhere AND think they have a right to gather my information for free, even if its just my IP. If it was for their own metrics, fine but not to 14 entities that I never clicked on or agreed to share with. I've never clicked on disable advertising on Slashdot and yet I'm still looking at most of my screen showing content. I don't have Musinex ads screaming out of my speakers. If they want to survive, sites like Destructoid need to figure out how to do it in a way that consumers are willing to put up with.

You just made my day. Thank you. There really should be a law against anything but simple, factual advertising. Execution for first time offenders.
