I think it's about the right time for me to file suit against Media Rights Technologies for not employing me at a salary of $10,000,000/year to refill their coke machines. Because of their unwillingness to hire me as a coke machine filler, their machines are dreadfully low, who knows how many people could become thirsty as a direct result..!!
The Apple TV box has nowhere near the same amount of demand as the iPhone or leopard, if he delayed both that would be very bad considering he moved devs from Leopard to the iPhone team..
"Our oil problems would be greatly solved if everyone stopped driving their cars and started riding bicycles for any trip less than, say, 5 miles long, but that isn't likely to happen."
I think that would solve a whole lot more than just the oil problems..
"Warner Bros. Pictures said Monday it will cancel preview screenings of its movies north of the border."
This is for preview Screenings.. meaning the full film being played before it's release date to a select audience (generally newspaper reviewers and radio contest winners).
No kidding, the idea that a corporation is afforded the same constitutional rights as a living person is ridiculous. If it were that easy to twist the constitution, we could start declaring anything/everything a 'legal person' in order to reconfigure the letter of the law.
It was a Remembrance Day (ww2) coin.. why would this strike anyone as suspicious? As for the "man-made" bit.. well, it's a coin.. who'd they expect made it?
This past year I was very bored.. spent a ton of time working on a PHP framework (http://www.phpneoform.com/php.neoform.v1.164.zip if anyone wants to try it out) that i used for my various sites like http://www.newsique.com/
now that it's nice outside and i feel less bored, I haven't been working on it at much..
Why exactly is it stupid for the government to not do much (in terms of change) ?
Seems to me the whole political process SHOULD be slow in order to stop individual administrations from making massively sweeping reforms that undo centuries of hard work..
"My personal take is that it doesn't even apply to discussions of algorithms, including possible keys. The key, in isolation, is just a bunch of numbers. There's nothing magic about the numbers, unless they are placed into a device that can 'circumvent' the protections."
Exactly, it's just a bunch of hex representations of numbers. Not to mention that sequence of numbers has certainly appeared elsewhere in the world prior to the conception of HD DVD.. somehow I can't see how this key is in anyway proprietary unless you specifically use it in conjunction with an HD DVD/Player..
I placed a hex code at the bottom of my website, I gave no instruction as to what is it or how it's used..
Is that illegal? As far as I'm concerned, it's my public key for some of my work. Just because HD DVD happens to use the same key.. really means nothing to me at all.
Is it then illegal for me to point out that HD DVD uses the same key as me?

"lake front"?
I'm guessing you haven't heard of the rising oceans thing..

Some companies really have no conscience.
Where'd you hear that? Canadians are getting it at the same time, and Europe soon after..

Erm.. he's been a billionaire for a long time.. do you really think another 600mil is gonna make him walk on sunshine?
That's sorta like Jon Stewart's idea for congress to name their Iraq timetables "Glory Goals".
I'm pretty sure smoking and driving is a lot more distracting than a MPG gauge..

What do you mean? Hotmail is totally as good if not better than when they were bought out.. ..
Ahahahahahahaha, man I needed a good laugh this morning..
"Warner Bros. Pictures said Monday it will cancel preview screenings of its movies north of the border."
preview screening = full movie shown before it's release

Promotional Previews are specifically released in order to help promote the film through positive word of mouth and newspaper reviews..
Do they really think this is somehow going to help them make more revenue if there's no buzz on the street, amongst friends and no reviews in papers?
Talk about stupid. The movie industry seems as stupid as the RIAA labels..

Parent should be rated insightful, not funny.
two things:
A) He needs to entice them to move forward with technology since the various RIAA labels are clearly run by dinosaurs.
B) Want to point out when in the past century you could buy a single song (without DRM) for $1.29 (keeping inflation in mind)?
Technically it's both world wars..
No kidding "wow"..

This basically assumes google and apple are going to be sitting on their hands for the next decade not changing their products in the slightest.
Obviously as things change they'll evolve their services to meet demand.
The bottom line is that these groups can force you to spend lots of money that you probably don't have, win or lose
;)
Good thing I'm Canadian..

"if you are being virtually raped you should [jack] off."
I'd say it's more of a problem of an idealistic viewpoint.
It's like saying "if humans are so civilized, we shouldn't need militaries.."
It's a nice thought, but there's always fighting amongst people, and computers and technology will always have flaws..
