anyone who's lived in wildwood, nj for any length of time will eventually realize why nobody who lives there rides the rollercoasters. they hire homeless drug addicts to assemble them, and since the city DESPERATELY needs the money they draw, it's all overlooked.
as a previous poster said, if you're worried about macromedia having this access with flash, you must be absolutely shitting yourself over your operating system.
considering that by most estimates, photoshop has been the most widely pirated piece of software for in the world for some time, i don't think anyone's ever really felt too bad about pirating adobe software:)
above all, i believe it is the familiarity of software that keeps people from switching, not ease of use. let's face facts - windows continues to be a usability nightmare. there is a gradation in UI's: MacOS is built for your grandmother, Windows is built for patient teenagers, and Linux is built for people with *godly* patience.:)
it seems to me that the internet has come in where hobby tinker mags left off. there's TONS of information available on home-built electronics, not only free but providing easy access to the originator in case you have trouble. just email the person and get it from the horse's mouth.

We're so steeped in our own commercialism now that we watch advertisements for entertainment on their own.
actually, i think this says a lot of good things about our society. the ability of the populace to look at advertising as entertainment says two things:
1) advertising is no longer trying to force you to buy anything, instead they are looking for brand recognition - the only form of advertising beyond personal recommendation from a friend that actually works, and probably one of the least intrusive.
2) people know they're trying to sell them something, and can take the entertainment at face value. they're not the moronic fools people like AdBusters would like you to believe.
first, i don't remember the movie ever claiming the "vampire virus" (a popular theme in vampire literature and movies since bacteria and virii were discovered) was airborne. in that, you must get your facts straight, chris. in fact, there are a lot of points where i have to honestly question if you payed attention, or saw the movie at all.
yes, we all remember how Blade had to hock stolen goods to pay for his operation. yes, he eventually ends up with some serious weaponry and gobs of silver bullets. what you forgot to realize is that this is *after* he's teamed up with the Vampire Nation. would it have been beyond your comprehension to see a link there?
as for shipping his car: it's not that hard, nor unimaginably expensive to do that. shipping his support guy? where did they say this? his origin is explained EXTREMELY vaguely and we're never given his origin.
the names used in this film are typical comic book naming conventions. simple to understand, descriptive, and appealing. that you don't mention anywhere that this entire movie franchise is based off a comic book character leaves me thinking you didn't even know. in that case, i forgive you, but your analysis can only be shallow without investigation.
chris, your entire review was flamebait and better posted on a yahoochat messageboard. you didn't discuss anything but shallow detail, and you managed to be incorrect at least twice. next time, you might want to think a little harder before posting a movie review. you're not very good at it.
why didn't someone tell me it was this easy to get money from NASA?
oldest quack scheme in the book. claime something extraordinary, then claime that it's not reproducable by anyone else because they're not doing it exactly right, or don't have your special equipment. that's the same line that quack used who tried to say plants responded to your tone of voice.
all i can say is that i'm utterly confused. can someone please shed some light on just what exactly is done here? the article doesn't make it sound nearly as frightening as the/. summary...
So Sony breaks the rules, and get caught doing it. Ok where's the problem? Are we to assume that because Microsoft turned them in, that the rule never existed? Or hey, maybe Microsoft made the rule years before just so they could catch Sony in the act now that they're competators. This is nonsense. Sony broke the rule, they pay the price. The only saving grace would be if Sony wasn't aware of this rule.
I fear a lot of you might be missing the point of my post (yes I, not Taco, wrote it and said "DAT tape" and made everyone mad).
I'm not saying any of this is new, and I'm certainly not saying Reason is the be-all/end-all of software sequencers and synths. All I'm saying is that mainstreme instrument makers are starting to take notice. This is, believe it or not, a very big deal. The CNN article doesn't do it justice.

To me it's obvious, "You see, there's two tuners, the TV has one, the VCR has one...." But the eyes just glaze over.
wrong! there's little people inside the vcr, and they watch a little tv inside the vcr for you.
jeez. and you call yourself a geek?
i believe that additional channel tuners would require additional licenses in the UK, which is rather costly...

If this is what it takes in this modern day and age for the law enforcement agencies to protect us, so be it.
Awesome. Since you feel that way, how about i come over and watch your wife shower through an open window?

I doubt that. Highly.
Exactly how many songs are you planning on listening to at once??
