I'm all for the argument about DVD box sets, but until they start promising an exact timetable, and guarantee every show will be available, no one will wait for a 'maybe'.
There are some shows that probably have no chance of being released on DVD. Is it morally wrong to download Gomer Pyle?
What about Olympic events this year? Or 1984 Gymnastics Gold Medal events? Anyway, I don't really have a point....
If you read the article you'd see that the market is there, and that you need to think about all broadcasts from all over the world being what is now available. Not just domestic broadcasting.
No kidding. With all the RIAA-google-new-alerts I get everyday, half are talking about TV shows being shared to be the next big attack.
Personally, I don't understand the problem. I missed West Wing 2 weeks ago because Lost is on at the same time (unknown to me, but TIVO did it), so I downloaded it from NG. Wouldn't the networks WANT me to keep up to date on my zombie-ness in keeping up with "must-see tv" ?
I can understand the commercial problem and HBO type shows, but free tv shows?
Anyway, it's not going to fly. Especially if this guy is going to make any money from this service.
Really? I just can't stand nitrogen in my beer. It's got to be carbonation. I know plenty that don't mind it, but I just can't stand the taste/sensation.
even more wrong since there is nothing that says a company can't charge through the nose for their product
That's right, it's called the free market. Naturally, charging through the nose usually doesn't work for long, because people will move in and compete.
Why have they charged through the nose for the last 50+ years? Because they're a monopoly. They price fix. That is illegal, and they've even been convicted of it in the past.
You say it is quite illegal, but that is because they bought these laws! Why do copyrights last forever now, instead of 14 years? The public domain no longer is growing.
The music industry has used underhanded, often illegal tactics to screw artists over for years. Bo Diddley died penniless. Whitney Houston filed for Bankrupcy. Prince had to change his name. Industry has the right to shelve a band forever. Web radio stations have all but been run out of business to keep the distribution monopoly in place. They tried to pass laws that allows them to destroy your computer if suspected, outlaw computer protocol programming, ruin the general-use clause of all computer/parts, outlaw mp3 players, and VCR's, double tax used CD's for extra royalties.
Currently, you'll will get a felony for having a cam corder in a theator. Currently they collect ASCAP & BMI fees for royalties but not pay the artists that money. We are currently charged extra on all removable media, even if you aren't pirating. That money does NOT go to the artist or independent labels, just the Big4.
Why are they allowed mail-order baratry? Over 6000+ people have been sued (threatened to be sue actually) to pay about $4000 or face fines that were SUPPOSE to combat Professional criminal bootleg operations ($150,000 per infringement)!
Sorry, but your "quite illegal" and "morally wrong" is based completely on bribes and the largest law department money can buy. I disagree on both counts.
I did the same but for Office Max's hard drive. I thought it was at location X, which would have been great since it's out of the way. However, that was Office Depot. The Office Max was next to Best BUy. Thus, when I got there at 6 (1 hour early) I just turned around because obviously the runoff from BB went to this line.
It's ok, I've been watching and getting decent 120GB's all year.
The rebates work sucks, but all have worked so far. I once had WD send me a post card 4 years ago saying that my zipcode was outside the market they were running the rebate ads at. It was a 30GB hard drive at that time. I took the post card to Circuit City, and they forked over cash to cover THEIR mistake.

You should have it over by 8 pm. What you need to do is not take 1.5 hour breaks, and just order pizzas or something and spill pepporoni on the couch while eating & watching.
"I hate to say this, but look at Microsoft... they are still supporting Visual Foxpro even today."
Barely. I'm sure the team that made Clippy was bigger than the Foxpro team. Foxpro is also not even in the new schema, The Common Object, or whatever the hell they called it when they did their rewrite back in 7.0 when C## &.NET came in, etc.
I agree with what you're saying though. Borland has long had amazing products. But, even when changing their name to Inprise (heh) they couldn't pull ahead. I wouldn't blame their poor marketing, as much as I would blame the endless billions in the bank MS has.
What I want to know is how to fill up a hard drive that size in 10 seconds. This speed is nice and all, but it means that our hard drives are now the bottleneck.
Have more than one network. Have DSL, Cable, and dialup going. That would be 3 separate IP's & companies they'd have to monitor. Send encrypted Morse code keys over Ham Radio, and session ID's over beepers.
Dick Gordon: National Security Agency. Martin Bishop: Ah. You're the guys I hear breathing on the other end of my phone. Dick Gordon: No, that's the FBI. We're not chartered for domestic surveillance. Martin Bishop: Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments. Set up friendly dictators. Dick Gordon: No, that's the CIA. We protect our government's communications, we try to break the other fella's codes. We're the good guys, Marty. Martin Bishop: Gee, I can't tell you what a relief that is, Dick.
They are interested in selling their music under their labels. If you're not on their label, why would they sell your competing product?
Honestly, if they were interested in selling music by "Stone Tepple Pilots", they'd sign you on their label.
You'd have as much chance of getting on this distribution of theirs, as you would in their normal distribution method and advertising on radios/mtv. None.
You'd have more chance with a theoretical 3rd party like iTunes. And that's only assuming they don't have an exclusive agreement with the Big-4 already.
What, is grade school out for Thanksgiving already?
This story is about 3 of the 4 MAJOR record label companies setting up a system to sell their stuff. How in the world would Indy labels be involved in this? Does MGM sell and advertise GlowPop records at Best Buy? no.

You'd make fast friends with our Aussie buddy here who pines for the real sports (Rugby, but not Aussie Rules rugby I guess)

Limit 15 to 45 per store. The lines were long, and start earlier every year.

That's the funniest thing I've read all day!! It's still early though.
And if it's good enough for Justin Frankel, it's good enough for me.
The two are not comparible. RAD is rapid application development, starting with the IDE, allowing for quick applications. Hardly a Delph-only thing

I am just curious what they used. Obviously they used something if they're touting "sustained" bandwidth at this speeds.
I mean what's the speed on a RAID-5 SCSI?
That's the funniest thing I've read all day. It's only 7:56 a.m. here, so it's still early...
Must be a bit of a slump of news in the SCO department here. An article over one picture?

Your FRIEND is an idiot. The files being 'shared' on this new P2P will be verified before being DL/charged to be sure they're the exact DRM copy.
