  1. Re:sequel? on Jackson Slated to Make Hobbit Movie, Sequel · · Score: 1

    Will the sequel be an original story? Or is there an existing (unfinished?) story to base it on?

  2. Re:Thursday?? on Microsoft DRM Code for Netflix Streams Hacked · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't really call this hacking content they paid for... Assuming that they would disable the netflix time constraint if they could, then they are simply attempting to steal content they rented. While I am all for being able to rip a DVD that you bought, this is more akin to ripping a DVD you rented or video taping a movie in a theater. You have essentially paid for a single use and are trying to convert that into a multi-use license...

  4. Re:Work on the hardware first. on Dan Bricklin on Software That Lasts 200 Years · · Score: 1

  5. Re:Real Ale on Keeping Your Keg Cool Sans Ice · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Having recently moved to England from America, I can now testify that the average British beer drinker has about the same beer preferences as an American... Out of all the people I know here, I am the only one that drinks ale. Every Englishman I know between the ages of 20 and 40 drinks lager (which needs to be "frozen"). On top of that, England now has Guiness "Extra Cold". What the hell is that all about? So you take a beer with enough flavor to taste fine a bit warm, and then freeze it...
