    Thanks jerk. I hadnt seen any part of Lost yet and I totally thought about being bored and suicidal enough at some point that I would want to watch it one day.

    I RTFA, it is a legit request.
    The plaintiffs were using it to communicate about the suit. It is their own ignorance that caused it.

    Cost is valued based on revenue generated, not based on "Finite resources".

    Betting leads to fraud, fraud in voting will lead to dissolution of government.

    Rich people are so entertaining. Perhaps if this happened more, where rich on rich crime and lunacy to follow, it would be worth paying more taxes.

    I disagree, being hacked is a psychological attack on a person, and therefore can be defended against.

    Also, they cant use Taxpayer subsidized internet lines. They must install their own lines to the server to connect to it and then post.
    What? People forget that the internet was subsidized through taxes?
    In fact, all of the inventions we enjoy were either publicly researched or subsidized through taxes. Get your head out of your ass people.

    As these stores close, they will lose power and lose the ability to control the market like they have been.
    You see, back in the 90s when HBO came out, these rental places were worried. So they brokered a deal to pay obscene prices for Videos before they went to HBO. $120 per VHS just so they could have it three months before. Now, there are deals with Video stores and HBO before they hit Netflix.
    These guys are running scared and delaying the inevitable. I would develop a content box and sell that with a sub to Netflix/Hulu if I wanted to stay viable in the industry. Make it allow updates to provide additional services like music services or other streaming services as they come out.
    If not, might as well close the store.

    Why are you defending this practice?
    Lets face it, once they have the infrastructure in place, they dont need to charge extra for it.
    Sure bandwidth costs may increase as usage increases, but so what.. they are charging for it.
    Why is everyone so complacent about this crap?

    Well, if airlines are in such dire need, they should raise the pay.

    That isnt even the best part. They still have to pay for books to read.
