Because gas prices are In Your Face. It's not like you drive down the street and see 2 foot tall prices of milk and bread on the outside of every supermarket.
Actually, during the night is when power consumption is the lowest also. You've turned your lights on, but you've shutdown your factories. That's why hydro systems pump water back uphill suring those hours to store it for peak daytime usage.
if I wanted a registrar who will stand up under legal challenges I don't think it would be unreasonable to switch to a registrar who charges more per domain.
Your argument might be valid if they had to defend every domain from legal challenges. But they don't. Nobody does. And by standing up against the few challenges for the many domains they manage along the way, they probably both reduce the likelihood of future challenges (especially if they seek repayment of legal fees afterwards each time they win) and increase their desirability as a registrar which would result in more business.
Think of this like insurance. A lot of people pay small amounts in order that a few large claims can be paid every year. You'd sure be a lot happier when it came time to pay your own claim now, wouldn't you?
This is just one more strike against GoDaddy in my book. Just who owns and controls the domain that you've paid for anyway? I wonder if JS can transfer it away to another registrar?
But GD was already on my don't do business with list when they tried to trick me into transferring my own domain to them. Mine is paid through 2008, and they sent several e-mails to the contact address basically implying that to save it I needed to transfer it to them quickly and pay more money. I despise that tactic from any domain registrar of trying to poach customers in this manner.
Having very sexy women in their TV ads isn't enough to make up for the above.
The exchange of XCP CDs for identical CDs without XCP.
How about: The exchange of XCP CDs for identical CDs with other soul-sucking DRM you haven't caught onto yet. That's what I'd expect Sony to attempt first.
Now we know why the PS3 Europe release is pushed out into next Spring. With reported 10% - 20% yields for the Cell, there just aren't that many of the buggers around yet.
Where does all this money come from? Weren't they distributing a free program to allow the free swapping of digital files? Where does the $30M show up from?
TiVo seems to believe that: patents = high prices to the consumer & keeping broadcast industry happy > keeping consumers happy.
IBM learned long ago that when you build a PC with off-the-shelf components that it's only a matter of time before a cheaper competitor comes along.
TiVo doesn't seem to get it yet. Especially because every new model and software update seems to offer less than the previous one. TiVo needs to realize that their customer is the home consumer, and not the movie studios.
If you don't have a case yet...
You shouldn't have filed a lawsuit yet.
The RIAA maintains they have proof that you've stolen and distributed their products. They then sue you to force a settlement, and everlasting hate of them. Seems they don't have enough of a case to to go to trial now, and they're admitting as much. I hope they're slapped down hard over this mess.

One thing you can count on. They, or Iran, won't be able to do it the same way the next time around.
Makes it look like the first gas turbine car of the 21st century will be a Matchbox car.
Are there drinks inside? I can't think of any other reason to open it with a mini-bar key.

Otherwise we're going to have to watch this thing unfold for months. Just end it now and let's all move on.
Or just split the difference and call it hTV
I read about it on the Fake Steve Jobs Blog.

Sounds great for digital cameras, whose power requirements (long duration with high peak flows) don't work well with some battery types.
Hate to short this puppy out by accident.

That report was paid for with taxpayer money, which means they have no right to destroy it. Where is the ACLU the one time I might actually want them?
If I were Spamhaus, I'd definitely put any USA travel plans on hold into the indefinite future. Even transiting in airports is dangerous these days.

Trusting Sony to be good about this? Ha!
Too easy to see whose side our government is on. And this from an Anti-Trust Chief of all people!
Completely agree with the selections of Super Mario 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Free licenses would be better. Then the promise couldn't be changed in the future.

I, for one, have never heard how less cpu power is better than more, so I sincerely doubt that more is really going to hurt me.
'Nuff said on this issue.
Kent's Farm is where Superboy grew up before he became Superman. It was a rights issue.
