there's a reason you haven't done anything - because it hasn't affected you. for the most part civil liberties types over hype these kinds of things and thats why they get ignored.
once enough people get pissed off by it then we will see change, until then just pray you aren't one of the unlucky ones.
theatrical distribution is not a loss leader ok. it's get that nonsense out of the way right now. movies worth their ticket price gross 300 million or more just at the box office, with the MOST expensive movie ever made being spiderman 3 at 500 million to make and raking in just shy of 900 million at the box office alone.
i think i have to agree with you, i actually dropped out of my CS degree because i got a really good job offer and i felt i wasn't learning anything and just wasting my money.
8 years later i'm successful and making great money, and i only wish i hadn't wasted my fucking money on uni. university isn't the place of learn it used to be, now it's all about tailoring subjects to suit employers which is a BAD thing.
i was going to say these would be handy for picking out ex's from the crowd, but then i realized this is slashdot and the chances of more then one female wanting to mate with any of you is remote.
"Put another way, if we all stopped having kids now, when we retired there would be no one to buy food from with all that money we'd saved. The usual hyper-inflation (too much cash, not enough goods) would ensue."
strawman right there. i never proposed anything about no more children, what i propose is that people pay for their own brats and don't inflict them on the rest of us.
yeah right if i turned around and told them off i'd probably get tazered by the fucking air Marshall or banned from flying for life. i've been down the path of attempting to tell people with children how to control them, and all it gets you is more grief because the world is run by "please think of the children" idiot's just like you.
"I claim that barring a horrible accident by the time you die you will owe people who are children right now."
sorry to blow a hole in your logic there, but i still won't owe them a damn thing, because i'll be exchanging capital (money) for said goods and services.
given that i'll be a self funded retirement, i'll still be generating economic activity on atleast the same level your kids will be, so again i owe them zip.
all nonsense strawman arguments aside, people like me who choose not to reproduce till later ARE subsidizing the services and tax breaks you get, so why don't you just thank us?

it's not doctors you need to fear, it's the administrators of the medical system. 1 + 1 does not equal 2 with them.
but you are still right, teleco's in the USA are too busy giving the government a handjob to look after their customers.
you didn't say that or give any indication it's not what you wanted. nice work.
please put the crack pipe down, it's already been established that backing up movies you've purchased is legal.
mob justice maybe, but certainly not wisdom. this nonsense has turned the internet into one big soap box with very little meaningful content.
once enough people get pissed off by it then we will see change, until then just pray you aren't one of the unlucky ones.
you can have an agenda that doesn't conflict with your findings. epic fail on your part.
thats funny it works perfectly fine on my windows pc, so what the fuck is OSX's problem. according to the apple fanboi's it's the shit?
you are winner of the most nonsensical verbal diarrhea award for this month.
thought so.
for a start, what if something happens and they die? it would also drive anyone insane, being the only man alive on another planet.
doesn't look like much of a loss to me.

thanks, i think it's lost on most people unfortunately.
60% of all statistics are made up everyone knows that,kent
... dumb people shouldn't have the internets?
seriously, here in WA the cows won't know what time it is, hence we shouldn't have daylight saving!
yeah wow thats why it's not launched yet, shocking.

.... isp's are in the music business?
As i proposed - i'd pay for a no children flight. try to stay focused.
strawman right there. i never proposed anything about no more children, what i propose is that people pay for their own brats and don't inflict them on the rest of us.
so why exactly should i pay for your kids again? in all that rambling you failed to show me a single reason.
