Don't stop at the CEO, kill all the executives, and, of course, their lawyers. I don't reccomend any quick and painless methods. Drawing and quartering, breaking on the wheel, or better yet crucifiction would be effective ways of dealing with these manaces to society. Nail 'em up I say! Nail some sense into them!
Make sure you let them know they need to come to the basement door, or your mom will tell them she didn't order any, and send them away!
Also, how much food is Pizza The Hutt going to waste because gamers though they were only ordering imaginary pizza for their imaginary friends in the game?
If plutonium is really that dangerous, maybe they should stop putting it in the middle of bowling balls; or was it golf balls? I don't really remember which ones have plutonium in the middle.
Within a month, I bet we will be reading that it does not maintain compatibility, and half of existing players can't handle these new discs. Also, how hard will it be to watch a DVD on your PC? This is already a pain with today's disks. I had to downgrade to old drivers to keep geforce cards with TV out working. With the latest, I get a message something like playback is prohibited unless tv out feature is disabled. Actually turning off TV out as it suggests is no fix.
Also, many people like to collect tangible things, and show off their collections. While CD never was as cool as the LP for collectors, you can't show off vapor like MP3s to friends and family. I suspect there will always be something collectable.
That being said, the recording industry as they now exist, with their RIAA and new ways to screw both artists and fans each day, need to die a slow horrible death.
Great, with their show about to be cancelled, they will try to save it by jumping the shark. No other Star Trek series mentioned the temporal cold war, so there is no reason for Riker and Troi to go back to Archer's time.
Frequently, all we learn from our mistakes is the ability to recognize them when we have made them again. You'd think that Sony would have learned that you aren't going to rule the market with Proprietary technology from Betamax, but noooooo!
Here's a recap. Xenu and his minions, the Epigrams want to possess human souls, which are called Thetans. Our only hope is the practice of Dianetics. Something like that.
No matter how dumbed down it is, if your grandparents do not have a computer, don't push one on them. You will only make what are supposed to be their golden years a confusing ordeal, or blow your money on something they will never use. You may even deliver them into the hands of con men who will steal their life's savings, and maybe even swindle them out of their home. The internet is a jungle. Don't lead those who don't belong there into it.
I dual boot my Phantom Console with Longhorn and CherryOS. I also play Duke Nukem Forever on it every day. Vaporware Shmaperware! Those guys at Wired just don't know where to shop.
Nothing in common? Your post was about not going after the "real pirates." I posted about what not going after the "real pirates" is leading to. And you start crying like a little girl with a skinned knee. Who pissed in your wheaties? Do only people on your freinds list get to reply to your posts?
Soon, the CDs at the mall will all cost over $20, and have so much DRM crap on them you will hardly be able to play them. You won't be able to rip them to an MP3 player either. The CDs at the flea market will cost $5, will play in any device, and can be ripped to an MP3 player easily. Guess which ones kids will buy? Dontbuycds.org predicted this.
People like to collect tangible things, but don't like to be ripped off. The labels that make up the RIAA need to think about that.
This little thing is cute, but I want a robot that cooks, cleans and takes care of all the other householdchores while I drink beer and watch TV. Something like Rosie from The Jetsons.

I have a few things to say: First, THE SKY IS FALLING, and while I am at it, WOLF! WOLF! WOLF! Thank you.

Charging for vapor is such a scam. Why not put software on a scale, and sell it by the kilo.
Jumpin' the shark! Jumpin' the shark! Dunt duh Jumpin' the shark! Jumpin' the shark! Dunt duh
Check it out! I think that says it all.

IBM: I Bought a Mistake.
I was surprised to see that even back then Ballmer had no hair, and looked like Zippy the Pinhead.
No Duke Nukem Forever? I am just dying to play it on the Phantom Console.

I just read the whole article. Wow man! That's some heavy shit. By the way, would somebody pass the bong?
If there is more than one "universe", then that word makes no sense, and we should come up with another.
Like blinky the 3-eyed fish from The Simpsons, except it's real. A mutant! There must be nookyooler shit in that water!

Oh! The Humanity!
It's official? Has Netcraft confirmed it?
