They didn't lead the way. Unless the Star Trek scripts contain actual blueprints for these. Anyone can 'invent' something on TV. Maybe I should write a TV show involving a viable fusion reactor, then take credit for it when it's actually invented. Of course my 'reactor' is just a microwave painted silver with a radiation sign on the frong, but I'm a pioneer!
What happens when it takes you four hours to get to sleep? This clock wouldn't work in my room anyway, it wouldn't get two inches before running into a heap of discarded clothes, furniture, or the mountain of empty beer cans.
They want file-sharing to be legal, which is effectively ending copyright. Rather than all this weaseling about, why don't they just come out and say they want everything for free?
And I don't think it's a coincidence that these pirates come from Scandanavia, where high taxation means less disposable income to spend on luxuries.
Movies will still survive through private patronage or government subsidies.
Great, so now I have to pay taxes to make films I don't want to watch? This is effectively communism.
I can't imagine how effective the film industry would be if you needed a mad billionaire to fund a film.
And people not paying for films/music/books will take billions out of the economy. I don't see how this is a good thing, it just seems that people want to be cheap.
and if you dont believe our legal system is not standing firmly behind the overseers than youve had your head in the sand for decades.
America has minimum wage, welfare, free education, all sorts of safety nets, and favourable employment laws. American kids are not forced to work 100 hours a week to pay off their parents' debts.
I worked my ass off and now im facing absolutely zero job security and an ever shrinking job market after investing more than most of these offshore workers will make in a lifetime into education.
Such is capitalism. You have to take the rough with the smooth. It's not foreigners fault that America doesn't have socialised higher education. You educated yourself for your own benefits, so don't expect any sympathy when it doesn't go your way.
"It's for your own good." just doesn't suffice, in my opinion. Who's determining what's "my own good" again? Oh, you want to. Right. It's called 'responsibility' and it comes with living so let the students have a helping of it.
They're children, not adults. They don't have the rights of an adult. Giving kids too many rights is one of the problems of society these days.
You wouldn't let them read comics in class so why should they be able to access non-education related websites? They should do that at home. I'm not paying taxes so schoolboys can wank off over Japanese porn in IT class.
If you get into an accident because of the chaos caused by an ambulance
What chaos? You're suggesting that when an ambulance is speeding in an emergency, it's weaving through traffic at 80mph, sending nearby cars flying off the road in an orgy of destruction.
In reality, when you hear or see an ambulance (they have sirens and flashing lights), the cars on the road get out of the way so it can get past.
If it wasn't for those nukes, a land invasion would have been necessary to beat Japan, which would have killed millions more. So in actuality, nuclear technology saved millions of lives.
So you're saying that the Wii is worth it so you can play games that you played years ago on obsolete consoles? I don't think that makes it worth the pricetag. I think at the end of the day, once the novelty of the controller wears off, the wii is a slightly-upgraded gamecube.

Of course, the working classes get no benefit from the ipod industry. It's not like the factories, warehouses, distribution, shops etc employ people. It's not like the working classes can use these 'status symbols' to improve the enjoyment of their lives.
Native Americans were not more advanced culturally. They had little in the way of writing, widely-spoken languages, mathematics, science, entertainment etc. They were at the stage that Europeans were at ten thousand years ago. That 'symbiotic' relationship with nature was just a complete lack of technology. Did they even have the wheel?

No you can't, no more than you can claim your bus fare to get to work as a business expense.

Planets are not balanced systems, they're lifeless hellholes. A few chips falling on them won't hurt.
So what happens if you go to bed at 10pm, then wake up at 1am and can't get get back to sleep again, then fall asleep as soon as you get home?
And how can you get used to a new schedule when it changes every week with work?

No it happens in Russia as well, and no doubt in some parts of Africa.

So effectively, Google are making ad revenue from Viacom's content. Why don't Google create their own content rather than pirating someone else's?

But keep on ranting, it's great entertainment.
Except yard work isn't very good exercise. Cutting the grass is about as strenuous as lifting the lighting possible weight in the gym.
And who decides which company called 'Apple' gets to own that name in the first place?
Most HD content is 720, and most people can't see the difference with anything higher anyway.

Some posts are intelligent and well-reasoned, and it's worth the time to debate them. However, some posts are just nuts.
That post is completely ridiculous.

No offence but I think you're a loon.
Films can be cheap to produce if you don't include the wages of anyone involved.
