IF and it's a big IF, you assume your CD provides you with 650 mB of "data" and a movie fits on a standard DVD of 4700 mB. At 99 cents for the CD the DVD works out to $7.16. If they allow me to own the movie then the $8.00 price isn't too bad. I just remember the old days when the world was flat and the only music downloads were illegal. We dreamed about being able to buy an album or a single song on line. Apple provided that service and at 99 cents/song, it was a good deal. However, many people ranted and raved about how expensive it still was and continued to steal the material. I bet that even at $5.00/movie with full ownership, some people would still steal. Maybe they should move out of their parents' house and try living in the REAL world. I have to go, my Mom needs to use the computer.
I like the pictures of the robotics team. I didn't see anything that stated the students' parents had agreed to have pictures of their children posted on the internet.
So school officials and teachers can post pictures of students on the web, but the students can't? Right. Sorry, but Does this mean the school's pedophiles don't want competition from their on-line counter parts?
I thought the graphics were much better than the current generation of consoles (duh), BUT it was running on a Sony HDTV. I wonder how many will be returned because the picture quality at home didn't match the picture quality in the store?
In other news, a man,Homeland Security believes to be a Chechen rebel, was seen wandering the streets of nearby towns looking for nuclear wessels.Is it a coincidence he has shown up just as transparent aluminum has become a reality?
He was accompanied by a dark skinned woman of possible Somalian origin. They are just people of interest at this point.
Rats! There goes my Euro-Porn. Just as well I guess. I could never figure what the two guys and the drunk yak were up to.
Does this really matter? I heard that Google was buying Europe and most of the other continents before Microsoft could scoop them up.
Don't you understand their revenues are down! Only digital pirates armed with cameras are going to the movies! They aren't making any money! However, 12 films grossed over $100,000,000, 5 of those broke $200,000,000, and one grossed over $300,000,000. You know what "they" say. A hundred million here and a hundred million there and pretty soon you're talking about REAL money.
Numbers are from http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/records/100milli on.html.
All you have to do is start e-mailing people stating that you have a settlement coming to you and you need an agent to collect the money in the US. Promise them some of the money and............. Oh, wait. Maybe this doesn't works in Germany, but the 419 scam has raised $5 billion so far http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/ .
If it works, you could always sell the franchise rights.
Good luck.
I live in Poland, Maine and fog and lightningn seem to be the only thing that bothers it. Since, I unplug everything during a lightning storm any way, it really isn't a problem. Strange though, the Internet signal holds up better than the TV signal in inclimate weather. I went with this system because Adelphia went broke and the local mini-Tel was years away from providing DSL. Yeah, you can't play twitch-based games on-line, but if you need that MOVE TO A CITY!
Mmmm. Maybe the AIBO has a clause stating that no other Sony-made robot can be faster than the AIBO. Technology is great! Now we have a robot slow enough to acually walk an AIBO. So when is the QRIO getting a skateboard? Motorcycle?

to make sure none of these end up Governor of Louisiana. The last teacher model didn't work very well.

Think about it! If you have to ask I think the question has already been answered.
