They will load the new ROM / Program from the newer discs. Every time you watch a movie you will be 'upgrading' your DVD-B. I can't wait for the 'unscrew this device' DVD image that will soon be available on the net:)
The best thing about this is: If it breaks I get to take it back to the shop and demand a new one.
The oil age is over. Petrol prices are increasing and won't drop anytime soon.
The time for us spending $$$ on entertainment and life non-essentials has passed. In a few years no one will care what the MPAA or RIAA do or don't do because there will not be a large enough consumer base left for them to gauge.
The software is compatible with Microsoft's music software, but not Apple's, and as a result music from those Sony BMG albums cannot be transferred to iPods that are hooked up to Windows-based PC's. EMI has been test-marketing similar software with a handful of titles.

In China they send the bill to your family

When you are executed in China they send the bill for the bullet to your family.
This serves two purposes: One, they get reimbursed for the cost of killing the family member. Two, the family, their neighbours and everyone around who hears about it gets reminded that China has a death penalty. It's probably more effective than posting it on the news.
That may be one of the best ideas I've seen in a while. Let's take it further - tag the credit cards, money and the wallet. Antenna in the wallet (so you can go pick it up out of the recycling bin when they are done with it), funny money (if they try to use it as a store they will get done for passing fake bills) and best use of all: Credit cards which flag to the bank to arrest the person trying to use them.
The third option is the best. They may get annoyed when they find the funny money, putting an antenna into a wallet won't help much - probably cheaper just to buy another $2 wallet (don't forget it to pad it with receipts and business cards).. but the credit card could go a long way. I wonder if VISA would offer 'criminal catcher credit cards'?
Reminders me of a training company who sent a secretary on a HTML course and expected her to update the company website as 'part of her duties'. After at least one phone each morning and afternoon per day to the company I was working for (she was ringing one of our support guys directly) our managing director contacted them to say: "Either give us the job of updating your web pages or stop ringing my employees directly for help". He's kind of blunt like that. The secretary was bypassing our support contract by ringing the guy directly.. and the boss did have a point: we were effecting teaching/helping their secretary do a job she wasn't trained for for free.
In the end our company killed the whole support contact with the training company. I'm not sure who maintains their servers now (I don't work there anymore so I don't really care).
Really? I swipe my card and the 'gate' opens for me (4 waist high gates to walk through at the front of the building. Uses lasers to 'close' the gate. Swiping your card disabled them for 3 seconds. Walk through without swiping and the alarm goes off.)
The guards see my picture (and anyone going through) on their monitor to compare with my face.
Total time going through the gate: 4 seconds.
How long do you stand in front of the camera for? Would it work for a building for 5000 employees in it?

DON'T EVER DIVORCE YOUR WIFE! SHE IS A KEEPER. The fact that she let you buy an expensive toy. Then actually help you build it, is un-real. You're a very lucky geek.

Well, you know, actually, it's my expensive toy. I got it for christmas and I let my boyfriend help me build it. But thanks for the compliment:)

Yes, you are getting old. You are not the only target for games now. However, you should be.. you have the money.. if not the time. The 'games generation' has grown up. What that means is that we now have the money to buy the games we used to not buy:)
It's a pity they don't make games for us, isn't it?

Well worth the read.
Damn. It's a pity we can't moderate the article itself.. but then I can't decide if it deserves a -1 Troll, or -1 Flamebait.. hard choice there.
This was not written by The Dev Team.. or, if it has, it has been heavily 'moderated' already by Management
Extremely insightful.

Hahahaha.
It will not take long for someone like DVD-J to figure out how to get around this 'issue'.
How long will it take someone to create a virus that finds unprotected blu-ray devices and disables them?
