Yeah I could of been on my second by now, instead i moved all the porn onto DVD's, saving some space. I had so much shit I wanted to buy a second firewire drive (160GB). In the end I thought fuck it and just deleted it all. There is only so many times you can watch what you have downloaded. Now all I have is the about 3 rare films and the first season of SG Atlantis, and that isn't staying on my HD for long.
I see no sense in waiting for the shows to come over here. I download them and keep them for a season and them delete them. I use to stock pile them and serve them to anybody else, but its risky stuff now what with the lawsuits.
I see a future where the networks will have to come together and release these shows at the same time around the world. One because there will be less rips and second. Cinema, DVD and Music is normally released worldwide these days as well anyway.
This also helps my schedule since I don't have time to a program at the same time each week (kinda hard anyway since I have no TV), I'd rather download it and watch it at my leisure. The power of the internet at work.
Yeah the thing is, your arguement is flawed because in your first post you talked about pirating music. Now you are complaining that they are trying to prevent you from using the music you legitimately own.
You go soldier... thats the spirit. Is this the most constructive way of sticking it to the man? Its nothing compared to *really* protesting and informing the public and thereby actually causing the music industry lost sales because you have turned the maistream off copyprotected cd's. But hey, you enjoy your silent victory all on your own at home.

"Linus is the devil" gets 0 resuts btw.
I wasn't going to chime in but nobody else has done yet. Isn't the SPARC platform more niche than Apples?
Microsoft never invested shit in Apple, they bought some non voting shares and agreed to develop their software for the Mac for 5 years at least, thats it. Btw, they have sold said shares as well.
Macs ARE better for graphics, you would know this if you worked in the industry. There are many advantages to using a mac rather than a PC. One of them being the hardware specs being the same and the monitors calibrated in same way right off the production line. Something you use on one mac will look the same on another. Take that to the windows world and you have a greater variety of hardware and displays with which to show your work on. Work you produce might not look tho same on another PC. There is an advantage in buying the same exact hardware over and over again. Dell doesn't do that.
Don't exclude the fact that Tiger is going to have real time filters built into the OS, with CoreVideo and CoreImage. Athough that is coming this season.
Shows how much you know even with a 5 digit slashdot account! The original mac had colour and shipped with at least 1 game, had some upgradebility. It also had a GUI, something which no other computer had at the time. Call yourself a geek?:p
First, I only buy singles. Songs which I cannot get without buying a full album, second I use bleep.com as well. Those 2 alone are enough and would seem to cater for mac users. It isn't because it is Apple. I agree DRM sucks but what can you do about it? What have you done about it anyway other then preach from your computer screen?
MP3tunes hopes to attract users who are fed up with restrictions on copying music from sites that use digital-rights-management techniques, such as iTunes. Is this the windows portion of iTunes users they are trying to attract? You just know mac users won't drink any other Kool aid?;)
Btw, I'm a mac user with a sense of humour.

I don't know much about Tivo in order to understand your post. But if it is sarcasim then might I remind you that I don't own a TV, nor want to.

I for one welcome our robotic simian poo flinging overlords.
Excuse me but you need glasses, Bush still only has 2 arms.
Ha! I guess the orange one will remind me to take note of any more of your flawed arguements in the future. *rolls eyes*
Did the cat get your tongue then?
Yeah the thing is, your arguement is flawed because in your first post you talked about pirating music. Now you are complaining that they are trying to prevent you from using the music you legitimately own.
yep you are right, its on google now!
Excuse me, I'm not the one stealing the music remember...
You could sit outside a music shop with a sign... convincing just one is the hardest bit. Once thats done your message will spread.

Just remember, if you lose the windows portion of the network and replace with macs or linux, you will be firing instead of hiring more amins.

Profit?
hmmm... well okay then!

Doesn't the Enterprise have to clean this stuff off its hull every so often, it being a side effect of warp travel?
How do I get the tracks I want without buying an album or DRM then friend?
First, I only buy singles. Songs which I cannot get without buying a full album, second I use bleep.com as well. Those 2 alone are enough and would seem to cater for mac users. It isn't because it is Apple. I agree DRM sucks but what can you do about it? What have you done about it anyway other then preach from your computer screen?
So... let me get this straight. If I pay for music, I am being selfish, is that right?
But if I do as you say, I will no longer be 1337 in my circle.
