The movie the post is talking about is Final Cut (yeah, you'd know that if you RTFA...) Information from IMDB here.
Synopsis from imdb:
Omar Naim's The Final Cut is startlingly different than a conventional science fiction film. It's a compelling fable that offers a vision of a world where memory implants record all moments of a person's life. Post mortem, these memories are removed and edited by a "Cutter" into a reel depicting the life of the departed for a commemorative ceremony, called a Rememory. Robin Williams' powerful portrayal of Alan Hackman, a troubled "cutter," propels this character driven story that forces us to question the power of our memories and the sanctity of our privacy.
I wouldn't. Even at around US $2.00 I'm not willing to pay for something that I only have a "24hr Viewing period" for. Sure, whatever their protection mechanism is could be defeated and I could get a copy of the movie to watch indefinately (think wargames playing 24hrs a day), but I could have just as easily gone to alt.binaries.movies.* or a bittorrent tracker site and just downloaded the same movie.

More parties are NOT going to help things. It would just give all the pundits out there more people to blame, and your average nascar dad's grasp of what actualy going on is going to slip furthur into the land of fiction.
However good you think the US gov't is compared to the existing alternatives, democracy by proxy is flawed.
Heh, I watched Big Brother UK from the states thanks to a kind usenet poster. Ended up getting addicted to that show. Would check in every 12 hours or so to get my fix. So I get to be both.
Chicken....
*shudder*
The distinction is that a pack/hive animals subjugates it's will for the good of the pack/hive, not to any particular entity that exists within such a pack/hive.
Around the time that Leia is finally revealed to be not only the hero of the whole series but a lesbian pro golfer, and that Tatooine is really just one big sand trap in her cosmic ACT-up tour.
1. Teams fucking suck.
2. The whole idea of tradition is that it arrises through time, not instantly from some kind of cultural forced feeding.
3. See 1.
You know, ever since Lucas started going on his revisionist kick, and since Jar Jar, I really don't care for Star Wars all that much. Even the originals. Still good, but they've been tainted.
That being said, I think I would actualy buy THESE dvds. Ewoks. Ewoks. Ewoks. Ewoks.
C'mon, you can never get enough of Warwick Davis or whatever his name was.
Ah. I just saw the "account holder" text and assumed it was a paid account type thing.
I'm still not seeing a point, though. Why not just release the game all at once on a private torrent tracker or something instead of what sounds like a convoluted plan at increasing anticipation....
But I fail to see how this in anyway innovative, interesting, or even remotely cool. A bunch of people pay money to download something they can't use until they pay some more money to the publisher, am I getting this right?

Or: They could do it the old fashioned way and just record it with a video camera (with a board out to a digital audio recorder for sound).

You'll find out in a 50 years, mabey.
that's what they want you to do...
Yeah.

No, I'm still playing pong, thank you.
Obviously someone wanted her there, after all she won?
I have. Interesting take, but I think it's a semantic argument at best.
"you are killing me!"
"you are killing me!"

What if you were in a coma, hmmm?

What, and not have something to bitch about? Ye gods, you are crazy!

Don't you know that the first hit is free (and small)?
Or rendering Natalie Portman covered in hot grits...
The bible refers to a world gov't. It's not saying that you can't do it, only that if you do you are most likely the antichrist.
I thought it was just a bunch of concentric shells with all the stars painted on. How hard could THAT be to simulate?!

Oh wait, nevermind.
Yeah, like reproduction. If skinemax didn't exist, perhaps there would be fewer idiots like yourself around.

Rip off...
