Seems like 4 years ago people wouldn't be complaining about the quality of a 640x480 video.. why then is it suddenly "unwatchable"?
I agree technology should move forward and improve it'self.. but this is downloadable content.. does he realistically think apple can host HD content that can be streamed live? Hell, Blu-ray movies are like what.. 40GB?
Imagine the server load that would be required to handle millions of people downloading a few HD movies every week..
I've got many friends that were using pirated copies of windows, then when wga came around all came running to me to fix it for them.. when i told them I didn't feel like spending a couple hours cracking their computers they started looking at macs..
My parents got 350,000km out of their minivan.. and it wasn't falling to pieces when they got rid of it either. Modern cars can last, provided you don't abuse the shit out of them.
If you cannot trust your own senses, then you cannot trust anything at all.
Your claim basically says that all science is moot and we should instead just assume everything around us is not what it seems since we cannot verify that our senses are actually correct.
In my reality, my senses are correct since I have no other point of reference. Equating this belief to a belief in god is ridiculous since there is so much more reason to believe that my senses are right than there are to the concepts of a supernatural deity that created everything and loves me and you and wants us to lead a loving prosperous life.
gimme a break. there's educated belief, then theres believing in fairy tails.
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability. 2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.
Reasoning requires both intellectual capacity and evidence. Some people find little evidence for or against God. Their paucity of reasoning comes not from a paucity of intellectual capacity but from a paucity of evidence. This way, even a smart person without solid evidence against God can have faith.
If there's little reason and little evidence to believe in something, how can you say that an intelligent person can believe in god? That sounds very, unintelligent.
Also, you're mixing up intelligence and smarts. Those are two very different things.
Are you sure it's based solely on percentage? (this could be a problem for my site newsique.com) Since I've encountered many articles on various news sites that have articles that are less than 400 characters long. Sometimes only 2 or 3 sentences.. (eg. breaking news of someone's death)..
what then? can you not quote from a story that's so short since you would then be exceeding the 10% or 5% rules.. ?
How many people do you know that attend church (on a regular basis or otherwise) that don't 'donate' any money..?
The only reason money isn't required at the door is because they don't need to require it in order to make money. If people weren't donating their money, you can bet that it would be required.

Is this really a "problem"?

It's there to piss off the casual pirates..

Don't forget mutes, they can't speak at all.
Does this somehow outperform spotlight without adding vulnerabilities?
Amazon patents "using a computer".
Works on contingency?
No, money down!
Dude, it's not "SlashRating" it's the "SlashTitRating", go read it again and agree that Slashdot does in fact need more tits.
more obvious than the p-p-powerbook?
I'm sure he'll pat himself on the back and somehow delude himself into believing he somehow had a part in this.
He'll be in the news real soon saying what a great victory this is for him.. etc.. etc.
>Solution: Do not browse untrusted sites or view untrusted e-mails.
Nice, so basically I'm not supposed to read any emails from people I don't know. Sounds like a viable solution.
You really think that without copyright laws, everyone would stop producing what's now considered 'intellectual property'?
Do you know what Open Source is?
i'm in canada and i've never heard of any such laws either.
I started writing something, then deleted a few words and continued. I rarely proof read anything I write. :P
"If there are no new features that are relevent to you"
Other than the pretty new theme, is there *any* new features that are relevant to anyone?
Uhh, no..... a hummer is meant to be an ego booster because it's a huge car that has the illusion of safety.
A Humvee on the other hand is designed to be abused.
Why do you assume that?

We live inside of our own existence.
If you cannot trust your own senses, then you cannot trust anything at all.

Your statement literally defies logic. Everything science is based on is something falsifiable. Everything faith is based on isn't.
Spending your life believing in something you can't possibly prove serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever.
What does faith give you that logic wont?

Oh sure, blame Canada.

Why would they need money.. the site's Free!
Laughable?
