Wow, having your political party's idealistic figurehead be bought by an internet cafe if kind of a kick in the balls, huh? Does GGF now get a seat in their parliament?
Nah, Suprnova was TPB before it was around. Napster and Kazaa also had a pretty decent market share of the illegal downloads before they got killed off. It will put a damper on torrents for a bit, but someone else will come up and replace it. Just needs to gain critical mass. I say one month max and there will be a clear heir.
What was the point of going through the court proceedings? Why, money, of course!
Also, as evidenced by Kazaa, Napster, Suprnova, and I'm sure many others that I didn't personally use, taking a free piracy site (sure, sure, pirate bay has a few legal uses, but lets be honest here) and turning it into an "innovative pay model for sharing" just doesn't work. You're fan base does -not- transfer. Apples fan base, yeah, they buy things, iTunes can work. Jimmy down the street downloading bootlegs? Not buying. GGF just wasted 60 million kroner.
I thought the same thing, however, someone earlier posted a link to the original article, that requires a subscription to actually read, where apparently they say they tried it in a vacuum and achieved the same results
We've passed Peak Oil. The writing is on the wall, energy rationing is coming. You have two choices, either do it now, while you still have time to change with fairly cheap oil backing you, or wait until the production of oil begins to ratchet down and prices go up. We didn't develop an alternative already. Necessity is the mother of invention. I'd rather have the necessity be on our own terms than OPEC's. It won't be popular, but it beats the alternative.
Piracy is unstoppable. Not trying to troll here, I just feel like people are beating themselves up over an unsolvable problem. This is just the end of an era and people are reluctant to admit that their entire industry needs to change.
Either accept the fact that far more people will use your product illegally and be happy with the few sales you get, or be a free, as in beer, developer. It's what it is.
Did you read the article? I'm guessing no from your response.
The whole point of it was Japan used existing cable lines and upgraded it to docsis 3, which is cheap to do. There is no running of new cable to the highrises vs the suburbs. The article attributed the US's slow uptake of docsis 3 to lack of competition and fear of losing traditional cable services to streaming video. Not cost of adding new wire or running phone, which doesn't make any sense anyway because VoIP runs on cable just fine. The excessive cost is FiOS which is running new wire, but if the cable company wasn't asleep and upgraded their system before FiOS would be dead in the water.
Who is tagging this bad pour? The head contains the aromatics of the beer, its texture varies depending on the beer, it gives you insight into the beers body and color, it is a good thing! Sure, if I'm drinking miller light I couldn't care less about it, but if it's a real beer there better be some head there! Bad pour... really?! Drink some good beer and come back later!
These claims began with the 1950 publication of founder L. Ron Hubbard's book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health (DMSMH). Chapter 5 of DMSMH, Psychosomatic Illness, asserted "The problem of psychosomatic illness is entirely embraced by Dianetics, and by Dianetic technique such illness has been eradicated entirely in every case. About 70 percent of the physician's current roster of diseases fall in the category of psychosomatic illness." Hubbard added, "That all illnesses are psychosomatic is, of course, absurd, for there exist, after all, life forms called germs which have survival as their goals." [emphasis in the original.] Later in the chapter Hubbard asserted, "Bizarre aches and pains in various portions of the body are generally psychosomatic. Migraine headaches are psychosomatic and, with the others, are uniformly cured by Dianetic therapy. (And the word cured is used in its fullest sense." [emphasis in the original.] Such claims have often brought the Church to the attention of law enforcement and regulatory agencies.

And yes, I was also refering to Christian Science, they are the ones who are notorious for not immunizing children or in a few rare cases denying children life saving medical treatments.
Just goes to show, mixing science and religion doesn't work. Not even in name only.
See my reply earlier about over training. I'm not. I'm mostly a cyclist, however, I do triathlons so I run just enough to stay in shape for those. All of my running is offroad though to minimize impact and boredom. Have you ever tried wearing a balaclava while exercising in cold weather? It becomes a wet, frozen, smelly, snot rag.
I utilize periodized training. Weeks on, weeks off, gradual build up to a big race, taking a month of very little exercise to let the body recover. I take my resting heart rate every morning. If it goes up, your body is heading towards a overtrained state, time to take a rest. I'm pretty careful about it. As far as middle aged... take a look at marathon runners. You don't peak until you are in your 30s, people run them competitively long after that. Lance is pushing 40 and is about to race The Tour. Ned Overend, one of the pioneers of mountain biking is in his 50s and races competitively. Train smart and you can go till your 90. I think it's more genetic and I got blessed with high blood pressure and joint problems.
The human body is pretty darn good at healing itself. There is absolutely no replacement for a decent diet, moderate exercise, and a positive attitude. The last factor alone has been repeatedly shown to boost immune system health over a variety of drug-based treatments.
While I agree that a lot of our respective societies health issues are preventable, I am 26 years old, can run a marathon, and rarely ever touch red meat and I call shenanigans on the idea that diet and exercise are a cure-all! I have 140/85 blood pressure (high) despite doing cardio work 5 days a week and eating right. I have knee problems when it's cold, back problems all the time, and suffer from bronchitis every winter from exercise in the cold. Sometimes I feel like a healthy lifestyle is making me fall apart.
However, my qualm is more with more with scientologists, and that various left field christian sects that refuse to immunize their kids or see doctors. Modern medicine is useful. Really. It is. There is more than diet, exercise, and positive thinking.
Being an avid cyclist I hear about new blood drugs frequently.
The same hype was used for Hemopure when it first came out, except it had the nasty side effect of kidney failure, or so far as I can tell. Anyone else know definitively why the FDA won't test Hemopure? If this makes it out of the lab, I wonder how long it will be in the wild before they develop a test for it in endurance sports. Personally, I don't think it will. Blood drugs like Hemopure and Erythropoietin have a nasty side effect of death. I doubt this one will fair any better despite TFA's claims of safety.
Nonono! Not at all! They pick what parts they want to be literally true!
NO ONE takes Leviticus seriously!
Burnt offerings, unclean animals (how many christians follow kosher?).... Don't forget my personal favorite:
"And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people. " Leviticus 20:18
That's right folks, do it with a woman on her period and get cut off from society! I think we should ALL follow the bible literally. It just makes sense!
And don't give me any of that "The J-Man changed it all" BS. If he got rid of the old testimate then get rid of it and stop publishing it.
"While the military says the craft is closer to a blimp than a zeppelin -- which has a rigid external structure -- officials usually call the project an airship."
Why call it an airship? They don't say. My bet is they really liked Final Fantasy.
I appreciate Apple trying to get rid of too many control interfaces. For the most part I am behind them all the way.
However, the one button to control this thing is rediculous. On a shuffle I often end up jumping forward or backwords through a fair amount of songs to find something I am in the mood for. On this one you double click to go forward, triple click(?!) to go back. Fastworward/rewind? double click and hold, triple click and hold (but only if you are more than 6 seconds into the track, or the triple click restarts the track). Say the name of the song? Click once and hold for 1 second. NOT FOR LONGER, if you hold longer, then you go to playlist selection!
This is not a step forward. Apple's approach to a simple design before made them accessible to nondorks. Grandmother friendly. My grandmother would need a cheat sheet to operate this. It honest reminds me of The Onion's coverage of The Wheel.

The codeine based ones never do anything for me either. Well, they let me sleep, I guess that helps cure a cold. Don't touch the cough though.

This wasn't a flywheel and isn't kinetic energy.
Magnetic.
I guess maybe you could say it's billions of electron's functioning as flywheels, but still, no.
from the article: "The new technology is a step towards the creation of computer hard drives with no moving parts"
Maybe we could give it a cool 3 letter acronym. Maybe SSD, Solid State Drive, yeah! This could revolutionize things!
Yes, I know I'm taking it out of context, but that was really poorly written.
Yes some people are still doing well, but there is a whole new generation that are still trying to figure out if it's even worth it at all to pursue.
It will exist if you persecute artists. It's not a matter of being worth it, it's a matter of it's what humans do.
Also, see the part about 10 years since Napster. Record companies arn't dying.
