Strange how Blizzard would go after (sue) a movie, named Diablo (a well recognised, common, dictionary word, meaning the Devil) But would ignore a book called Starcraft.....
I Photoshop my Photo-radar tickets, superimposing the police officer's liscence plate in place of my own. I then take the edited ticket, to the Courts, and claim that this is not my liscence plate, and the charge is thrown out.
Photographic evidence, specifically such evidence, that has clearly had the oppertunity to be edited, should never be permissable.
So, if they cost the industry $90 million, assume they were selling their CD's for 1/3rd the cost of Retail, Minus expenses... these guys would have made roughly 10 MILLION dollars. Why do they have less than 200 Fast CD burners?
Doesn't add up. RIAA's math skills should be used to power interstellar space ships.
Thank God for the Opensource community. Forever thwarting the online advertising market.
I'm quite fascinated by how initially, the internet was considered our playground. Then it was considered the worlds playground. Now, it's considered the worlds advertising medium, except for the L337, to whom, it is still a playground.
Um... Incase people didn't know, when you represent the ONLY manufacturer of a well known medium, you're going to be Very successful. Even if it is a small percentage, that's a small percentage of a LARGE number of people. 1% of 35 Million is still 350,000.
Someone should write (or post a link to) a computer version of 20 Questions, where first, you think of something, and the computer has to guess (with yes/no questions), then switch roles, where the computer has to think of something, where you have to guess. Lowest score wins.
Assume this works. Assume that you do get paid $0.05 US for each email you receive. Do you now have to read it? Are you forced to actually open that SPAM? You may make $5,000/week, but you'll be spending every hour of every day, reading about how to increase your manhood, or please women. Not how i'd like to spend my day.
Just look at Microsoft. They may say 'We're Microsoft, we don't have to care' But they can only say that so many times, before the OpenSource Alternative numbers grow, and grow, and grow. At what point, does the company realize, that without caring about the customers, the customers stop caring about the company?
Lily Tomlin said that many a year ago, and since then, the rules of business have greatly changed.
I mean really... how many spammers out there, even actually know that your email address exists when they send spam? I have a mostly english email address, and i'd assume that 80% of the spam that i get, goes to randomly generated email addresses.
This idea, is much like the idea, of charging people to look at you. Many people will see you anyway, and you'll never catch them, let alone make them pay.
Bowling for Columbine.
It may not be completely unbiased, but Michael Moore's pretty good at shedding light on what people don't want you to see.
Now playng at a theater near you.
Buying an Album shouldn't be like opening a gift bag. You should be able to know what's on the disc, before you buy it, to decide if you WANT to buy it. Sure, the radio plays 1 or 2 songs, over, and over and over.... and Most modern music stores will let you listen to a CD in store, but what if i want to listen to that music in context? So i download it, give it a listen from my favorite armchair, and decide wether or not it's worth my $20. If not, it goes into the Recyclebin. I'm not a pirate, if i don't like it, i don't keep it. If i do like it, i buy it, and rip a higher quality MP3 straight from the CD.
When Bowling, one may have to wear ugly shoes, but occasionally, you may get a trophy, or even prize money.
Drug addicts, can eventually become wrapped up enough in the life style, that they can become dealers, or sometimes get freebees.
Play Everquest long enough, eventually you can sell your character for megabucks on Ebay.

You need to word it properly: Ex Lover sues State for issuing restraining order, denying his ex-wife a Life extending opertunity.
Know ahead of time, that before they sign you up for the service, they charge [a modest] $5.
Here's an idea, how bout NASA Creating equipment this sturdy. I don't think they have, since... Pioneer 10
News flash, no one cares if they're cooking their books. Let them drown in their own mistakes.
Those guys will do anything for attention

I'm surprised that it took the /. community this long to get their hands on one of these. Now how long till we see a tablet build of linux?
