Maybe B&W was chosen because it decreased the memory requirements of the video...
Unless they increase the memory capacity of those discs (which would drive up the cost) or decrease the duration of each video, they probably can't do color.
Call me a troll, but if you're honest you'll admit that US politics holds world record in screwing its own people while trying to control the world market.
I hate DRM as much as the next guy...but, to play devil's advocate, the U.S. is far and away the largest producer and exporter of the intellectual property that DRM protects.
If France was the largest exporter of movies and music, are you telling me that France would not try to protect that industry? Come on!
If you think the U.S. is the only country that acts in its own self-interest, you are either naive, ignorant or delusional.
France, after all, is the only country I know of that has a government agency dedicated to rewriting the language to prevent "foreign" influences in verbiage. With that kind of proprietary, xenophobic attitude, don't you think that if France had America's entertainment industry, they'd also take steps to protect it?

Thanks for reading...now back to our regularly-scheduled flamewar...
All through the 1990s we fought the "crypto wars" thinking that the government was our primary enemy. It still is a significant threat especially now, in the post 9/11 Bush/Ashcroft era
Yeah, that's it. Our government is the primary threat...don't worry about al Qaeda or anything...Bush is Hitler, right???
Advice? Watch how you configure your firewall, or you won't be able to use certain P2P systems, such as Furthur, a great network for collecting live concerts.

You're right...it was apparently lost on the moderators as well...
Come on guys, someone with mod points give the grandparent a +1, Funny...pretty please???

Sounds like we got the better end of that deal. Who the hell likes abiding by morals anyway? No fun!
Let's not forget, these corrupted discs ARE NOT CDs!!!
You mean like your sig?

Besides, what if she had a Mac and not a PC?
Does "No PC" also communicate "No Mac"? Not necessarily...

I print everything out on paper, then sort it according to the integer value of the MD5 hash of each page's contents.
Well, if you're going to do that, why don't you make it 15 seconds winding = 3 hours power, or maybe even something better...
You're not wrong. Not fuel cells don't handle heat very well.
Don't pay any attention to Matt Rosoff. Everyone knows his brother Mike is the real authority on Microsoft.
Maybe Linux, but certainly not GNU/Linux.
Cool! How much?
Except that it's really pull...

"Cruft" isn't a word. Neither is "boxen".
Use real fucking words, dumbasses.
Oh...sorry! Too easy to miss subtle stuff like that in the written word...thanks for straightening me out.
