That's why I've already burned +10gb's music to DVD.
Those 3 DVD's carry just as easy as one CD. Then there is the iPod option....and Netjuke....and iCommune (WebDAV)...and Live 365....and Darwin Streaming Server. And DIY PHP or Python, etc. Not a shop stopper, that's for sure.

Do you know how hard it is to get your hands on even a little piece of Unobtainium?
I had a small Unobtainium crystal one time, back in the 60's. I got it from the drummer for the Airplane....he picked it up in China. I had one guy offer me two Vespas (one had a sidecar) and an unopened Guinness Stout for it, and I turned it down (the Guinness was cold, for Christ's sake). I kept that crystal until the divorce. She got it and the Sony TV.
Instead of a semi-pragmatic approach, that requires routine real-world rejustification, why not simply train to a virtual concept that lies in an agreed standard, thus freeing everyone from having to point to something that is evident only by subjective change.
temurature: The contextual act of temuring water until it feels smooth to the touch.
Not to be confused with pemurature, which is commonly known as the feeling one gets when confronted with the undeniable stench of a rotting 'pemura' (Canadian Woodchuck), left to bake under the porch, during a long July afternoon in Toronto.
The only known quantity of Unobtainium (UB238) has gone missing.
The 1 kilo square block was being held in Brussels awaiting return to Brazil, where it was originally unearthed.
It was determined that the physical stability of the material was being affected by being moved from it's original location, that of being south of the equator. Investigators are anxious to reclaim the material in hopes of stabalizing it's rumored flux in mass. The UB238 was being packaged for transit, when it suddenly dissapeared from the shipping room counter. The rumor that it had created, and subsequently fallen into, a 'portable black hole' was discounted by investigators on the scene.
Once the Unobtainium is recovered, and returned to Brazil, it can be weighed and certified as a replacement for the Pt-Ir cylinder that is kept in France, and measured annually, representing the kilo standard for the world.
Flash....I can think for myself. New concept for your crowd, but true nonetheless.
Your sort needs to spend time in the corner thinking about who and what you are endorsing. MS was convicted...found guilty. They are not considered an example of a good business, and any attempts to deflect that truth and/or further the lie that they need a break can't be changed by painting any/all opposition in the same bad light. Your argument is weak and obvious...as is normal w/the MS trolls.
Playing level...that's rich. Can't you 2D MS apologists be more subtle when when you shovel it? Try again....this sort of comedy is good for a laugh or two or three or....
And when BG does it, it's not philanthropic....not by a long shot. It is self-serving...and not in a karmic kind of way, either.
Philanthropy: The practice of helping people in need. Nothing there about it being a business practice!
When there are strings attached (and w/MS there are always strings), it's called 'manipulation'. Some may recall when one of the suggested penalties after MS was convicted, was for them to give away software? Hardly a penalty, and everyone knew that, including MS.
Remember, investing in MS is risking having your own resources used against you.
...and we all know it, so stop the whitewash already.
Dumping laws are meant to protect the local economy from running dry when tons of imported steel, etc. (whatever) are sold locally for less than cost, etc. in order to control said local market and local competition, raised prices or not.
This isn't about software...free or otherwise. It is about not being on the hook for something, and in this case, the locals have decided in their own best interests. Good for them.
The math that's worth doing is not what this incident alone will or will not cost...it is the cost over many, many quarters when MS can't 'project' earnings from another fish on the hook.
Note that China is one of the countries that isn't saddled with legacy copper in the ground, like the US.
As little as 10 years ago, it was common to see wires stringing down from apartment buildings like spider web....if they needed to add a phone line, they just tossed a spool out the window.
China does have a significant number of cellphone users, just in the last 2 ~ 3 years. Again, they aren't held back by corporations trying to squeeze money out of hard investments. They can move right to things like cellphones and wireless computing....other issues aside.
India's biggest issues are mostly political. I don't hold much hope for India getting a fair shake from any corporations looking to do cellphone service there.
...when the first hi-rez color copiers came out in Japan (1990?)...took a month or two for high quality fake YEN bills to show up on the streets. All the copiers were then promptly equipped to detect whenever you put a bill in them and tried to make copies.
Not that anyone was discouraged from finding ways around that, however...
To get HP some digital ink. Yesterday it was iron speed...day before that it was layoffs...last week it was how the 'merger' was complete (tell that to their distribution hubs)....week before that it was..well, you get the point.
Must be a shareholder's meeting coming up. Otherwise, this armless overgrown lego with screens could be something from the '70s.

Netjuke...streaming, admin, etc. Internet access galore....just the thing for home to office. I use it daily. Just between me and me.
Note Netjuke uses PHP, Apache & MySQL, and can be tricky setting up on OS X, but once it's done you are set for remote music access/admin.

You do know why Englishmen drink warm beer, right?
They all own Lucas refrigerators....

But the portable black hole thing flies ok w/you, eh? Ok, I won't tell....I promise.

Bugs Bunny used these to escape from E. Fudd. Nothing new about them, then :)
you guys are just begging for goatsex links with this...you know that don't you...ouch.
Sunshine in my pocket,
Moonbeams in my hand.
Black holes in my briefcase,
I'm such a happy, virtual man!
You learned that from MS, no doubt.

I'd give it a 74....catchy ditty, but I doubt Steve likes to dance to it. Let's see how it does in next week's rankings.

...not M2M...duhfffus!
And the trailer has at least one scene (about midpoint) of the larger screen.
Dang....that's right!@ And I was looking right at it...no wonder the trailer didn't show any references...bleh...
owe you one :)
