We are getting updates on the Jon trial but some of it is in Norwegian. Therefore here is a crash course in the viking language from a student (so Native vikings feel free to correct/add to):
Jeg frykser av meg rump venting for billeten - I am freezing my ass off waiting for a ticket!
Dra til helvete, Jack Valenti - fuck you, Jack Valenti
Faen dette folk fra MPAA er Rasshølene - Damn these movie execs are assholes

Something similar may be behind blacks that say "wassup my nigger". (Does anyone actually do this outside Hollywood movies? (I'm European))
Actually yes they do. I remember back in 6th grade not only would black kids call each other nigger, they would call me nigger. I never understood that one:p
It is another way of destroying your rights. If they make it 20 dollars it isn't too bad. But after you get used to the 20 dollars which isn't right, but you feel is worth it not to fight the fight, maybe you will get used to 30, 40, 50, 100, 1000 dollars a year.
I know Doctors that will give you some off the cuff advice or theory on what is wrong. I do the same with computing. I don't see it as a big deal. If, however, it is something long and involved, then I would charge them(if they are not friends or family). Just like a doctor would.
The best deals are at mom and pop computer stores. You usually get better customer service because you aren't dealing with some 17 year kid who says "The only thing I know is that I get off in 15 minutes"
Speaking of which...;)
How about compustore.com?
Come on mods! Make this a +5 informative so I make some money. Help a brother geek out.
You know, like the American theory that anyone anywhere can understand English if you just speak it slowly and loudly enough.;-)
Are you sure this doesn't work? I went to France and no one said they could speak english. However, after I got up in their faces, SCREAMED very loudly while poking them in the chest with my finger, they would yell out "Leave me the hell alone!". Then I would say, "Aha, so you do speak English!" Then they would walk away and ignore me.
Growing up In Alaska, I found it frustrating to have the elections announced before I went to the poles, not just some news station's prediction, but the actual official announcement.
The networks only "predict" the winner. The official selection is ONLY after the electoral college casts their votes which is long after the election night. Yes that is right, the person whom you chose could be over ridden.
Our founding fathers did not have a whole lot of confidence in the American people
My third grade teacher did the same thing. The five of us at the board were supposed to beat out the class with calculators. Let's just say that 4 out of 5 isn't bad...
We can make mechanical hearts so the tin man is taken care of. All that's left is to give the cowardly lion a lot of booze and suddenly Dorothy is off to see the wizard by herself.
If you sell your product for 300 dollars (like in this example) your profit margin is way TOO high and you are guilty of monopoly rents. Price it at $45 dollars and then you are preventing anyone from challenging and competing with you. Base your price on competitors and you are collabortatively pricing.
No matter what you do you are guilty...
That is why splitting the company up into portions is not a bad idea...
Can anyone think of a reason (other than bad precedent) to not produce baby microsofts?
Walking the line between protecting the public and interfering with the free markets is tricky at times...

...if it sells. If Britanny Spears suddenly wants more money and etc. They can let her go and push the next hot piece of ass. By selling sex rather than music, the RIAA can use an artist like a mass produced commodity instead of a rare talent like the good ones are.
They don't really even want good music because the people that write it could increase their demands. There are more pretty faces than talented musicians...
Fortuantely there are enough people that aren't attracted to sex_idol-pop to allow other artists to flourish.
MTV has a lot of fault in this. No one can tell what you look like on the radio...

Faen! Jeg er fra Amerika (og jeg bor i Amerika) men jeg snakke en litt av norsk!

Too bad you don't have it otherwise that sob that torched Fantoft may have gotten a needle in his arm...

Yes but does your VHS, have commentary, behind the scenes documentaries etc.? All of that costs money...
$20 for a dvd seems fair and if you can get it for $15 then that is definitely fair (provided the movie is decent...hell I got Episode II for 9.99!).
20 dollars for a cd doesn't seem as good an entertainment value as 20 dollars for a DVD.
"Pirating" seems to be more about convience that not wanting to pay.

Sorry, that comment was right on the money.

Yup I love that "futuristic" flick "The Empire Strikes back"
I love have misread "A long time from now in a galaxy far far away" all 120 times I have seen the movie.

All inventions (or nearly all) tend to be modifications of previous technology.
First pc was the altair. Damn IBM, Compaq, HP et al. for ripping them off!
I guess the model T was a rip off of trains and carriages.
Planes are a rip off of birds...etc.

I don't run it, but the company sells stuff for cheap and donates money to charity, so I gave them a plug.
I just copied it from their site.

I agree, it is all part of our evil republican plot. We are going to systematically murder every non white, non christian, non conservative...
Come on!
Sheesh...
