no isp in AU will do this, OR they will sign a loose deal and never have the balls to enforce it. why you say? because i can promise massive litigation against them if they do, and no business would ever willing take the burnden of potential litigation that another business has previously been dealing with. not to mention all the angry support calls and extra work it will cause them. it's already been established that isp's can't be sued for their users downloading music, so why the fuck would any of them want to do aria's job for them? my bet is there's no isp's seriously considering this and it's yet more bullshit from the music industry.
right on. i make a decent income, you wouldn't class me as "rich" but i work long hard hours and sacrifice family time and personal time to try make a contribution to society and to increase my wealth and the well being of those around me. why the fuck should some asshole have the right to avoid paying what i have to pay just because he's doing business online?
what are you fucking stupid or something? it's not a paranoid delusion that government is obsessed with controlling every asspect of peoples lives, it's a fact that they confirm daily. do i really need point it out for you or are you capable of googling?
what a stupid thing to claim, you can never claim your new redesign will completely satisfy all of peoples requirments, since requirments change. so far the current internet technology has done a brillant job of adapting to changing needs. about the only common protocol i could see that needs a revamp is smtp, which is a layer removed from what they are talking about anyway.
this fucking REEKS of big money and government wanting to control people on the internet even more, it bug the hell out of them that we have the freedom we do on there.
one thing i'd like to point out - these movies aren't even dvd quality. not sure what the point of that is? seriously if people ripping captures from hd tv can manage dvd quality, you'd think apple with all it's resources could do better.
oh and wake up and smell the codecs - h264 can do dvd quality at 200megs per hour, you can't tell me peopel with adsl wouldn't be able to download that.
production of the cells is far more toxic then if you just burnt the equivilant amount of coal. if they can come up with a way to over come this - great - if not, lets move on shall we hippies?
"'They want them to think that working really hard matters,' "
as i suspected, hard work,skill and dedication are a waste of time. clearly if they just want us to THINK thats what matters, then it's not.
also, what a bunch of assholes. oh wait their lawyers.
why is it that when ever MS EOL's a product there's mass outrage and critisism from OSS supporters, touting it as yet another reason OSS is better, yet the same people will try defend the VERY short EOL on OSS products sighting man power issues? pot calling the kettle black considering ms would have been supporting win XP for 7 years once this dead line comes up, compared to the pathetic 1 - 2 years support most OSS projects offer. MS dispite being a huge corperation do have a limit to the man power they can expend on a product, just like a OSS project. i would submit to all you critics that you applude MS for supporting it's OS's as long as they do, they could certainly be much more aggresive in EOl'ing their software if they choose to.
so what, 14" at 1400x1050 would be completely unreadable (unless it's a laptop)
these aren't aimed at text uses. it's like complaining your daewoo doesn't have a spoiler and turbo charger.
i'm certainly no fan of windows or MS, but MS products are one of the few things you can count on not containing spyware as such. yes they do have activation, no it doesn't spy on your personal information.
anytime you purchase a dvd they are giving you the dvd - in exchange for money. dude, seriously just give up and admit your wrong, and that you jumped the gun. he made no suggestion of piracy at all, just that he was voting for a better format with his wallet - and i agree with him and i suspect most other people do to.
"How come spelling, grammar and phrase frequency (including typos etc) isn't used to error correct at a symbolic level higher than pixels?
"
from what i've seen they are struggling just to get the words right, let alone begin to think about gramma. think about it, if it can't get the basic wording right it'll just create error's in the gramma check for itself.
the rather obviously answer to this, is his model is wrong. easy thing to do given all the factors invovled and the heavy pressure from certain groups to conform with the cult of global warming.
frankly a few graphs shows nothing. HOW he arrived at those graphs is what matters.
sorry you need to work on those comprehension skills there bud. anyone making alarming statments for the purpose of selling movie tickets, is an alarmist. would his movie have been so successful if he spent the whole 2 hours telling us things are OK? i think not, so he needed to spice it up a bit with random clips of weather driven destruction. This fact, makes his film alarmist propaganda.
but wait al gore told me it was my fault the earth is dieing? he says all the cheese burgers i eat make me fart and produce the nasty green house gases.
why would you buy an ipod video - their fucking crap. tiny screen anyone? no wide screen? buy yourself a pda with n extra battery and a mobile hdd, it'll cost a shit load less and be 10x better.
i used debian on a few projects... projects where any kind of features, performance or even remotely up to date software is not required.
the reason debian is falling apart is the politics and fucking attitude people get when entering the project. if you ask why a port is 3 years out of date, instead of getting a mature response like " no one there to maintain it" or " it breaks compatability with feature X we are working on it"... you get little smartarse comments about how your welcome to update it yourself. frankly after my experiences with debian, that project can fuck off and die, and i'll dance a happy little jig over it's grave.
digg is full of whiny bitches, slashdot is moderatly better. i attribute it the to seemingly higher % of mac fanboys on digg. if you want a real news site where the posters have learnt to toughen up a bit fark.com is the go. unfortunately it's constantly broken and incredably useless to use.

with a decent codec like h264, a 720p movie only comes out at 750megs or so. whats so hard about that?
oh and wake up and smell the codecs - h264 can do dvd quality at 200megs per hour, you can't tell me peopel with adsl wouldn't be able to download that.
am i the only person that's grateful to the poster for NOT linking to a stupid apple fan boy blog?

shittest idea ever. that is exactly how this will be used. to produce slow, bug riddled hardware that will drive evenone nuts.
