No No sharing is bad! Everyone should have to download from the site everytime they want to use it, and pay each time. Why should they pay to hype the movie if they could CHARGE you to do it for them? Hey wait, I think I just invented a new beusiness model! I better go patent it and sell it to Amazon!
Hopefully everyone can recognize that for the joke it is (everyone including the USPTO that is)
Check out a movie called "series 7" in which people are chosen at random, given guns, and confined to a geographical area...they never mention the prize, or why they were chosen, but the rule is anything goes as long as you are the last to survive you win. Very surreal movie that asks a very good question "how far can reality TV go?"
My friend and I here in California are actually talking about this....the problem arises in that where does one acquire such amunition? I do believe no one makes such a specialized round as yet.
direct quote-
"Lots of people might want to have massive orgies, too. If you can look at only the upsides of something, and not the consequences, lots of things can come off as quite attractive."
You say that like it is a bad thing.....if lots of people want orgies what is wrong with that?
Try making a comparison to something that 95% of slashdotters will consider to be a bad thing
Maybe somebody else remembers this, but back when DVD players were first coming into the consumer marketplace, one the selling points was that there would be a system in place to do exactly this! At the beginning of the movie you could decide if you wanted to watch a R, PG-13, or whatever version. I remember being quite excited at the time because then I would finally be able to convince my parents to let me watch all those big bad R-rated films. I never actually saw a DVD with this system, but I do dostinctly remember the makers touting it.
ok, I finally got in to read the article, it's only 4 or 5 degrees C above the ambient temperature, but I still think there would be environmentalists whining about it
Some one is going to complain about thermal pollution and its effects. Something about injecting steam (or water that is almost as hot as steam) into a body of water just might piss them off......then again, practically anything that is useful does.
