  1. Re:Prices Don't Help on New Study Finds Low Interest In Blu-ray · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Especially compared to going to Fry's and most DVDs are $9.99 and I tend to only buy when they are on sale for $4.99.

    Blue-ray has plenty of honest, actual merit

    Not at $30 a pop.

    Of course keep in mind that Jesus was leading an religious uprising and therefore labeled as a terrorist.

    Exactly. Look at what happened when iTunes gave people a legitimate service

    iTunes - Great. Don't own an iPod. Not planning to. Decent video quality only if you plan to watch on tinyscreen.

    Do you live under a rock? You don't need an iPod to watch videos. You watch them in iTunes... And if you don't like watching on your computer, you buy the AppleTV box to stream to your TV.

    True, but it would be nice if other spent those cycles on something worthwhile like Folding@home.

  9. Re:OK, but where's the profit? on Second Mac Clone Maker Set To Sell, With a Twist · · Score: 0, Troll

    Over 50% -- yes over 50% consumer in these area build computer themselves. I just happen to be one of them.

    Only in your wet dreams. Only those with self esteem problems have any wish to assemble a computer they can get off the shelf.

    So maybe this is why the "war" keeps dragging on and on? As long as we have a war going, he thinks he can do anything he wants? (and is often the case)

    What do you think the "war" was created for in the first place?

    But for Charlie Wilson and his private aid program to the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan when under Soviet control - we wouldn't have had 9/11.

    Separation of church and state anyone?

    Yeah, it's almost as if the First Amendment doesn't apply to Iran...

    Just like it applies less and less in the US.

    Very true.

    Don't forget about visibility. I've owned a New Beetle for the past 9 years and while not exactly being a SMALL car, a large number of trucks continue to think the lane I am driving in is empty.
