Because it will be a free service, and include such a HUGE amount of Data, I think it's safe to assume that the compression quality will be less than stellar.
Having just paid >$80 CDN for the Blue Planet DVD set, I still feel that it is money well spent. The quality will be vastly superior to whatever is available online.
On that note, I'm still all about giving money to the BBC.
If you've used MSN 4.6 or earlier lately, you'll notice that you don't get Advertisements anymore. Instead, you've gotten an email from Microsoft advising you, that you MUST upgrade, or you will be cut off from MSN messenger.
My preference is to simply stop using the software when they cut me off.
So when I tried to buy something I got this.... BuyMusic.com Available to Domestic Residents Only

Another online survey at Slashdot says 'Fully 24% of People beleive that.NET is the largest threat to humanity.'
In other news, Slashdot editors still insist that if you're using these numbers for anything meaningful, you're insane.
All of the multi-million dollar commercials are replaced by local retailers and companies, because the cable provider has changed the commercials.
Occasionally, even the billboards on the stadium walls are changed to retailers of a Canadian nature.

That's like saying they shouldn't publish shop manuals for cars, because people might use them to install illegal nitrous kits, etc...
If I bought something, it's mine to do with what i like. If i void my warranty, that's my buisness.
It's when Microsoft starts claiming that you are actually RENTING/Licencing your Xbox from them, that they can claim rights to the hardware.
In an effort to curb spam, Microsoft shut down it's web-based email service.
"75% of this planet's spam originates on our servers" Bill Gates was quoted as saying today. "By abolishing Hotmail, and moving to a commercial email solution, our users will be able to reduce their spam intake."

OK, so it's all well and funny that the guy's got a porn link on his webpage. Yes, he's a senator, and that should be damaging... but the only people seeing it are Slashdotters, and we're ALL clicking the fucking thing, probably making him a small fortune with no real result. Instead, don't click it, tell your grandmother about it!
I hear more complaints about people who were clearly safe being called out, than I hear about shrinking strike zones.
I think sensors should be places in the plates, balls, shoes and gloves. Then you can digitally determine wether the runner tagged the base first, or was tagged by the ball first. Far more accurate than umpires.
Back in my Driver training years ago, I remember my instructor having his own break pedal, in the case of emergeny.
Every time he touched the thing, i wanted to hit him. If he thought for even a second that I was going to fast, he'd apply the break. Then when I would reach for it, it wouldn't be there (it would be slightly depressed) and I'd panic. [sarcasm] This is just what I want in my car 24/7 [/sarcasm]
The main problem with the 'For Dummies' series, is that it appeals to the lowest possible denominator, which implies not only Windows users, but the worst kind of moronic Windows drones....

I am the master of doom.
Is it just me, or does this sound really Communist?
A better question, would be which existed first? The contract, or the DMCA?
The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.
Haven't you heard? Putting your hands down there can also make you go blind.
What we really need is a renound LAW school to stand up to them.
That will provide results.
Your first step should probably be to stop drinking beer at work.

If Microsoft implements websites to promote 'Anti-Google' searchability justify their own engine, can we expect a 'Bork' edition of Google?
