Being smart comes in different forms. Some solve puzzles and code, etc., others have business sense and know how to use what others have already done. Look at Bill Gates; he bought DOS and sold the hell out of it. He never created anything other than a solid business plan.
It is funny that your title lacks proper grammar in a thread about a movie about intelligence, but you are obviously smarter than the average person when it comes to computer usage. Fox is considered a single entity. Your title/subject should read "Does not Fox do its own DNS?" or "Doesn't Fox do its own DNS?". My point is not to make fun of you, just to point out to others that even though you can be born intelligent and taught proper lessons, not everyone will embrace what they have learned. Different things matter to people in a varying degree. Different strokes for different folks.
Just a thought here. How long would it take to re-rip into mp3/aac? And how much is your time worth? Maybe you are better off getting a seasonal job with your spare time and buying the player of your choice.
You are correct, with the assumption that all musicians want to make a huge name for themselves and want lots of money. However, there are plenty of musicians that do not want to be as big as Radiohead or KISS, nor do they desire the same amount of wealth. This means that the internet model works perfectly fine for them. Different models for different desires. Business models are always changing. Personally, if I can get the music of a band for free, I am more likely to go to concerts and buy other merchandise which is not something that you can steal so easy. Music is about the experience and most people want to experience bands, not just CDs. I can name several bands that I have seen more than once because of the experience a show provides.
One is not just paying for the TiVo service, one pays for the TiVo experience. The User interface is loads better in my opinion. I can use Yahoo to set-up recordings. I can download shows to my computer. I have never had delay from TiVo when I press the guide button, while Comcast's Motorola DVR freezes several times a week. Setting up a series recording at any time is so easy on TiVo, not for Comcast. The way TiVo can tell first run from new is far superior to Motorola as well. To you, that may not be worth the extra cost. Less hassle and a better experience are worth it to me.
You got me thinking about that. If Google were to mark the videos they use with copyright dates, the videos given to them by copyright holders, they could effectively know when the copyright ends on a particular work. This would allow them to then upload a video the day the copyright ends, thus having easy access to once copyrighted stuff. Google could future proof itself and have free information to make available to the public first.
One should not be ignored. Both intent and action should be examined. Judgement should be placed on intentions as well. Take the law for example, its based on intent and action. The punishment for killing someone is based on intent.
A free market is one in which competitors are free to enter. A free market does not always have to be self-regulating. With a self-regulating economy, monopolies are more likely to occur, in turn creating a market that is not free to enter. I am all for laissez-faire, but every system needs some rules, or else it will not last. In the case of a self-regulating market, freedom will not last, because monopolies will occur in time, barring companies from entering. A free market is one with a level playing field that allows for equal opportunity. With some regulation in an other wise self-regulating market, you can attain equal opportunity.
Legislation, if used properly, helps maintain a free market system. Through legislation, atrocities such as monopolies, (in a non-public utility is to what I am referring,) can be prevented. So legislation and free market can go together very well. I think you confused regulation with highly regulated. In most cases, highly regulated industries, etc. do not make for a free market.
Actually YouTube did have a business model. It was based on advertising, which is why Google bought it. In the beginning, the creators of YouTube ran up their credit card bills and did not have any advertising until they created a big user base. Then they advertised only with one company on the main page with special content to click on, this one advertiser found its way to other pages as well. Because they held out from selling ads for so long, they were able to create one advertising space that was highly desirable. Think supply not meeting demand. Although it was a strange business model for a startup, they did have one that started to pay their bills. Either they sucked at advertising, or they were so good you did not notice.
Google probably does more good than harm with this, but their mission statement is not about doing good. It is not about having a positive net impact. It is about doing no evil.
24 is what Movies and TV are shot in = Useless to go above this for Blu-Ray Movies. Video games on the other hand, can probably benefit from more than 24hz.
From what I know of ZFS, it requires 2 new partitions (when one is using HFS+). Apple has always gone the simple route as far as usability of its products. 2 new partitions is not the simple route for those who upgrade only their software. Perhaps they are waiting to make it easier to move to ZFS by having users become familiar with Time Machine first. Once they have everything properly backed up and are used to backing up, partitioning for ZFS will be more feasible. Apple has often released new features in its.5 releases, ZFS could be one of them.

I do not have a science or engineering background, therefore I cannot build, create or test in a valid manner? Your argument is flawed. Then again I do have a philosophy background with some knowledge of logic. You obviously do not, therefore you cannot deduce in a meaningful way.

Lets just hope we have the option to turn external communication off.
I thought the way you phrased it was hilarious. I was just commenting on how the seemingly funny can also be true.
Being smart comes in different forms. Some solve puzzles and code, etc., others have business sense and know how to use what others have already done. Look at Bill Gates; he bought DOS and sold the hell out of it. He never created anything other than a solid business plan.
Again, I was simply pointing out why I found your comment funny. I, too, make grammar mistakes, whether or not they are standard vernacular.
Can you point towards a reputable source? I have never heard about this and want to learn more.
He says he may have to make time to re-rip. If I assuming anything, its that he has spare time in blocks. He already stated he has the time.

I had this 15 years ago on my game gear, no HDTV of course. Ah how tech goes full circle.

I do not think he is referring to the technology, so much as the exclusivity of the iPhone.

Hopefully we helped make distinctions for them. As for degrees, I only want my markets regulated so much. Like Ludwig, I have libertarian leanings.

Alone they are not. However, they are physical attributes when related to use of battery time.

Vista comes in 7 or so flavors of feature sets.
