Yet that didn't stop you from posting the information you didn't really know. You must have been attracted to Slashdot like a fruit fly to balsamic vinegar.
Assuming most people are like you is dangerous, foolish, and typically invalid. You have no reason for making such an assumption.
Also, is there a way to block submitters? This imaginary property zealot is starting to get on my nerves with the editorializing. I don't like my stories assuming I'm a dipshit hippie.
Yes, it's evil, evil I tell you, that you can't have every movie you want in any format you desire for whatever price you're willing to pay. Evil. Truly evil. Shockingly evil. Abominably evil.
There, have I watered the word down to meaninglessness yet? Oh wait, that was you guys a long long time ago.
It's like trying to get a Christian to admit that Jesus is an interesting character in a few chapters of a very disjointed fairy tale and nothing more. You'd achieve more punching a wall.
Hahaha yeah, so long as we pretend that Sony entered the console business last Christmas, this makes sense. You've made a fantastic argument so long as reality isn't taken into consideration.
DVDs still look fine on an HDTV. Sure, HD formats look better, but DVDs are VHS tapes. They're actually still pretty good, especially with an upscaler. Don't hold your breath waiting for DVD to die or you might just go first.
Reading is definitely more active, at least to me. I spend a good amount of the time imagining the settings, assigning voices (and looks if appropriate) to the characters, and tying everything together. I also spend a lot of time reflecting on what the experience meant to me. TV provides the visual stimulus, which makes all that easier due to our inherent visual processing, or redundant due to being provided directly. Books are also generally more complex, although obviously there are exceptions in both directions.
There are also certain problems inherent in the TV format that make this even worse. Number one on the list is having everything broken down into 10 minute chunks to allow for commercials.
In all, I can watch television with my mind completely shut down. That's why I don't.
Because smart people don't watch TV anyway? It doesn't really matter to me what's on, I don't bother with it. I don't care how educational it is. I'm not interested in mass amounts of passive entertainment.
So why should they go out of their way to court me? I've quite literally removed myself from the market.
Actually, I'm not so much a fan. Mainly I liked Dave Grohl, and still do really. But Nirvana did some things very right - they had good song structure, they paid attention to dynamics, and the lyrics, while not the pinnacle of English composition, fit the mood of the songs perfectly.
But there are a lot of people who do consider the songs to be good. Questioning their taste is cute, but not really valid. Your opinions hold exactly as much weight as everyone else's.
Continue holding on to the fiction that you dictate taste to me or anyone else. It'll get you through those cold lonely nights when all you have is your callused palm for company.
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, cause the Democrats have such a great track record at stopping Bush now.

Men are normal people and women are aberrations? How's that virginity treating you?
It's interesting how derisive you are in a post that betrays your utter lack of understanding for the current issue.
It also explains OS zealots, /. posters, and various other self-appointed intellectual elite.
I think you need your eyes checked. Don't be too proud to go to the optometrist.
Thank the universal benevolence we have the intellectual elite like you to watch out for us poor morons.

His technical knowledge about the software in question may well be unsurpassed, but that means absolutely nothing in regards to the editorializing.

Thanks for the mild chuckle

All so much easier than an eject button on the drive itself. Apple is truly a company of geniuses.
There's no may about it. You're weird. Possibly even singular in this regard. I wouldn't go waiting for Apple to cater to you anytime soon.
If we're going to anthropomorphize global warming, I'd like to propose a Santa who molests you.
Good thing that they get verification before doing the update, then. So in other words, your problem isn't a problem.
Dammit, missed a chunk and made a typo - DVDs aren't VHS tapes, requiring their own players and degrading over time.

Netflix has a monopoly on movies? I was not aware.

He fucked up on the funny part. Like pretty much everyone who declares themselves to be funny.
(Here's how you tell - you're the only one laughing)
