Instantaneous live concert CDs isn't piracy or "bootlegging". Furthermore, even Metallica, at the forefront of the RIAA backed anti-mp3 argument endorsed bootlegging. It's just a creative way of distributing soundboard recordings (Which most every concert has and subsequently also ends up on the Internet). Hats off to them.
Xtra Jetstart was the 15k/s version of their extremely expensive ADSL plans. By going to a speed cap instead of a data cap, they immediately got tonnes of customers. Within a few months they imposed a 5gb cap, with no price reduction, with a 10 cents per meg over the cap. Yay for monopoly!
Marvel has learnt from its past mistakes and no longer simply takes a step back from their film properties. They have a subdivision "Marvel Films", or something to that effect, which involves this guy being on the set to every single Marvel film property. From what has been released, Marvel gets a profit slice, not just a flat licensing fee.
Oh and by the way, Sony Pictures made the movie and it cost about 100 million to make. It took in 800 million at the box office worldwide thusfar and is the 7th highest grossing film of all time. It earnt an estimated 245 million in it's first week on video release. So out of this billion dollars, yeah, I'm sure Marvel only got "$12 million or so".
Could you guys link to the URL with the ADVERTS, rather than the frame. The poor guys have to pay for their bandwidth somehow. It even asks you to expressly do that at the bottom of the page. Cruel cruel people...
The grand thing about DVDs and CDs is that they are the same size and work of reasonably similar technologies, at least similar enough to integrate into a single device. The problem with MD is that it's size is unconventional (what with the "boxy thing" that they are in like the earlier Mac CDROMs), this is why I personally I wouldn't go for MD again (I had one, it got stolen).
Next time I think I'm going to go for a player that can play VBR (Variable Bit Rate) (Specifically -APS) MP3s from half-size CDRs. My personal favourite is <plug> this one </plug>.
I'm thinking the clown gang could be played entirely by David Arquette and Jason Biggs. With aid of CGI! They could be wronged men from the circus, forcefed drugs by the severed head of Fidel Castro (Played by Fat Joe of MTV fame). Reese Witherspoon could be Fidel's daughter and spark a forbidden love with both the heroes! It can't fail!
We can't have it take place in New York due to that September 11th thing (Same argument as the retard who is adapting "The Watchmen" is making, New York CAN'T be destroyed. In fact even referencing New York is OUT). No, the "westernised" Akira must take place on Los Angeles Island, just like in the fantastic piece of cinema history "Escape from L.A". Maybe Kurt Russel could make a cameo as Snake Plissken! It'll be great!
Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck star as Tetsuo and Kaneda, who will for the purposes of this film be given wholesome American names such as "Mike" and "Richard" (In the final act, Mike makes a humorous observation that Richard's name can be shortened to Dick!)
The two high school football players who were wrongfully accused and placed in a boys home (Not that there's anything wrong with that) do battle with the evil Osama Bin Akira (Played by Vin Diesel). The battle results in the evil leader using his mind control powers to send Mike battling against democracy by channelling previous generations of communists through dark rituals involving Lenin and Satan.
In the end, Mike is brought back down to earth by Richard singing the national anthem over a loud speaker and waving old glory. The two have a long embrace and make a joke about how they love each other but aren't gay. 5 stars!

I'm not sure if I'd even wish that upon a tele-marketer...
1) They obviously didn't have access to the website, as the HTTP downloads of Sendmail were NOT compromised
2) It didn't get discovered for a week, so obviously no one used the check sums.
On September 11th, major news sites like Yahoo, BBC, CNN were entirely flooded with traffic much like the phone system was, going as far as taking down some fairly large servers altogether. What ended up happening was that a bunch of IRC channels (specifically on SlashNET) cropped up with people giving live webcam shots, rumours and snippets of information, mirrors. Then the CNN closed captioning bots started relaying to IRC for those without the cable service. It was interesting as it showed the Internet both failing at and succeeding in its primary designed function, as a communications and information network that could survive a major catastrophe.
I'm sure the RIAA will be quite upset at losing that less than 1% of their annual income. Poor sods. But I think if judgements continue like this, and that moronic bill for "P2P warfare" is dropped, a real dent might be made in the RIAA's empire of art commodification.
Slashdot is run by Cheney. He sends us like lemmings towards evil lefty websites so that those who truly need to be educated in the ways of socialism (e.g: monkeys that can control robot arms) can not access the sites. It is all a cunning plot...
Personally, I'm thinking etched Woz face window on one side, and a construction of the inventor's face on the other using only the brightest of blue LEDs.
There's nothing I'd like less in a TV show is what you watch. It's called diversity, the bios page also simplifies down the cast. Television shows have to be accessible, but it's also been shown that in doing this Joss Whedon can weave some fairly complex characters and an artistically brilliant/entertaining television show.
Look at Buffy. You can simplify down all the characters in that series. "Slayer" "Father" "Geek" "Screw up" "Little sister". But guess who has been getting the ratings and the critical acclaim? Not you. So go die, now.

Oh, my site is down anyway, think there was a power outage at the hosting facility. It sits on an OC49 somewhere :P
Wait a second.
I wonder how it would interpret goatse.cx

So I guess now isn't a good time to advertise my pirate radio station that plays the entire Avril Lavigne album 24/7?

It doesn't even require batteries AND it operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week AND here's the real kicker, 365 days a year! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

Too easy to make jokes about. Like shooting fish in a barrel or buying Napster's aeron chairs on EBay for 12 dollars each... Oops ;)
In this case, I think I'll settle for closed source. Thanks for the thought anyway, Dell.
