That is an outragous claim! No company would stoop so low. Why, that would be like claiming that Microsoft configured its servers to give broken HTML to browsers other than Internet Explorer. That would be like saying that Apple gave away free MP3s that work in the Ipod but that crash other music players. That would be like saying that Adobe publishes pdfs that b0rk XPDF.

One gets even less time if you happen to be a rep or senator.
Average citizen steals a movie, goes to jail for 3 years.
Senator/Representative with a known history of piss poor driving? 100 days in jail.
"According to police, Janklow was behind the wheel of his Cadillac on August 16 when he ran a stop sign at a rural intersection about 10 miles south of Flandreau. Scott, who was riding his motorcycle home from his father-in-law's 80th birthday party, crashed into the side of Janklow's car and was killed."
to the parent, i agree. BLOCKBUSTER SUCKS DONKEY BALLS.
I could post a long & detailed history of their crap customer service, but I'm too tired.
I do, still remember in 1998, when I'd go to Blockbuster after Blockbuster, and it was the same old tired line. "People don't want to rent DVDs. That's why we don't have them"...I had to go to a competitor.
Blockbuster isn't an innovator. Just a bloated corp resting on their hind ends.
How about their movies by mail? Oh that's original.
would be great if i could simply
#apt-get install sblive
or
#apt-cache search wintv
not neccessarily wanting apt to do it but just something as easy as apt.
parent a troll? common folks. The problem he mentioned is the very first thing that came to my mind.
When I turn my head to look at something, my eyes are going to look in the same direction. It's just natural. It's unnatural to turn your head to look at something, and keep your eyes fixed dead ahead.
I would love this product integrated with a head mounted display. Can you imagine looking around in stereo AND your head controls tracking.
actually if it were easy and legal, scumbags would walk into your kitchen and plaster ads all over your fridge. they'd tattoo your children with messages of "increase your penile girth", and hook up a special radio that would play at random times during the middle of the night "buy me, buy me, (insert product plug here)"
spam has nothing to do with profitability. and everything to do with being easy and dirt fucking cheap.
face it. spammers are lazy fucking scum, and if it were made expensive/difficult to send email then they would move on to some other form of despised behavior.
ha! no doubt. you see TCO bandied about by people who think they are so "in the know". "oh darling, you are mistaken about your expense estimates, because you forgot about Teee Ceee Ohhhh"
are you suggesting that lasik takes the place of 40 years of eye appointments?
that would be terribly mistaken.
even if you had perfect vision without lasik, it would still be highly recommended to check your eyes at least every couple of years.
if you do get lasik, there are plenty of people who do not get a perfect correction. depending upon the humidity during the operation and possibly during the days that you are healing, your correction will vary. the doc tries to adjust so that you do get the right correction.
one of my buddies that got his done years ago, his vision is perfect still. but two friends had theirs done recently had their vision worsen slightly (still better then original) a year later, after initially being nearly perfect.
my vision is nearly 20/20, i don't need glasses...but my vision is precious. you won't catch me going 5 years without an eye exam.
once Harcourt, Editis, John Wiley and McGraw-Hill pack it up because you've killed off their ability to make a profit, i hope you have a talented army of volunteers ready to crank out some material.

the early celerons were NOT a complete joke.
in fact the early celerons were the only one's worth a shit.
the last 3 years of celerons suck balls.
that is all.

of course i'll watch them. i'll watch anything lucas puts out, even if it is sub par.
hell, i watched "Laser Blast" at the theaters in 1978. I'll pretty much watch anything sci-fi.
Somebody's Laser Blast DVD review

apparently all irony is lost on you.
but i'll spell it out for you, oh quick one:
i laugh at ppl who call RMS a thug.
i'll even raise an eyebrow when ppl call Microsoft's actions thuggery.
but if you don't "get it", you keep charging those windmills...
there's a little project that's taking a heroic stand against that pita communist, RMS.
you might have heard of them? (www.microsoft.com)
(sarcasm off)
i've downloaded my share of dvd rips, so problems 1,2 & 3 are non-existent in those cases. i won't watch cams for the reasons you outlined.
still, the cinema is an enjoyable experience, imo.
if it didn't cost nearly $10 a ticket and $4 for a box of candy, I'd probably go more often.

The people in my local lug are some of the most regular guys and gals I know.
I also have friends that are investment bankers, physcists and medical doctors.
I can find elitist assholes if I want, but they aren't at the lug.
and this wonderous carbon nanotube material?
i'm sure the military would interested in a few sheets of that stuff to drape over their tanks.
michael jackson might want some for his playland.
ok, i rtfa.
it does state 62,000 miles.
I doubt this will ever happen in that fashion.
A continuous strand 8 times the diameter of the earth whipping around our planet, nearly a third of the way to the moon.
needless to say, i have my doubts.
