  1. I wonder if.... on Bikes Against Bush Creator Busted · · Score: 1

  2. Thanks for playing. on MPAA Piracy Survey - Junk Research · · Score: 1
    I'm guessing this 1 out 4 people must be coming from broadband users not dialup people like me.

    If this is broadband users then I would say the MPAA survey is correct, because almost everyone I know with a broadband connection has at one time DL a movie or atleast attempted to do so.

    Now for the folks that complain about movie costs. Well first it's more likely your theaters not the MPAA. I mean hell around here you still can see movies for around $6-7 bucks which isn't much when comparing to the movie megaplex's which charge around $10 a head BS. So stop bitching and go see your homegrown theaters and drive-in's...because if you don't support them they will dry up and become another damn movie megaplex.

    Now for the person calling this survey 'crap'. Why didn't he use a word of intelligence...as in it was filled with erroneous data, but he didn't came out sounding like a babbling teenager that probably DL's movies.

    If you wanna watch movies for free go get a job as a projectionist or get a friend that can get you in for free.

  3. Apples basic Mac config usable...blah on Apple vs. Microsoft Myths Revisited · · Score: 1
    I bought my G4 Ti PowerBook which came with 512MB of RAM std..almost 2 yrs ago...and my setup is still useable.

    I think your sale person just wanted the extra commission.

    I've went through two sys upgrades already on that 512MB of RAM and I'll probably do another with Tiger coming next yr.

    So I will dare to say the Apple Basic Config is usable.

    SW's will keep going on and on with or without all of your snide comments.

    If everything followed the novels then everything would be too predictable in my opinion. If I recall Spiderman nor LOTR followed everything that happened in the comics or novels. But did this make the films less enjoyable? No, they didn't.

    When Peter Jackson makes another sequel and it doesn't match up(which he will) will you be little him as well.

    Atleast GL makes entertaining films for all ages not just SW fans which I give him credit for. Unlike LOTR most kids won't stay the 3 hrs to watch it. But they will for SW. Sometimes I think most forget that SW was designed more for kids and teenagers not some old adult. Remember critics and adults back in the late 70's said the orig. SW wouldn't make any money but it did, because it was written for the kids not the adults in mind.

    You know your Geek when you complain about movie franchise continuity over the net

    If he doesn't care if folks can DL it for free why the hell release it into the theaters for $7-8 bucks a pop?? Greed. Kinda ironic since he makes light of the fact the Bush's are rich and such in the movie. Remember propaganda from the left or right should be FREE.

  8. Re:what is MSFT charged for service packs? on Tiger Slideshow: Pretty Mac OS X Pictures · · Score: 2, Informative
    Do you know what OSX service packs are?? Updates Like going from 10.3.2 to 10.3.3 to 10.3.4. All are free to DL.

    Now Tiger is a upgrade but it's a complete OS. Meaning you don't need anything on the HD to install it. You can install Panther on a formated HD or on top of Jaguar.

    Also since Apple doesn't require a serial any group of folks can buy one copy of Tiger and then just share the copy. My friend just did this and only paid $5.00 for his copy.

    And if your student you can get it from Apple for $69.00

    No price increase for the 17inch iMac. We are using it as our POS(point of sale) machine.

    The reason I know because about 10 days ago I ordered a 15inch iMac for my biz. but a couple days later Apple sends me an email informing me I've been upgraded to a 17inch iMac. So right now only 17 and 20inch iMacs are in inventory, but I'm sure you can find some more at say CompUSA and Apple Stores and Apple resellers.

    I have a feeling you don't know your head from your arse.

    If something sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't true. You maybe getting a great deal with allofmp3 but I doubt the artists are. They have no rights if their music is put up on that site or not. They have no rights in how much money they can get. You say you figure they get $2.00-$2.50. How do you know? For all you know allofmp3 is runned by the Russian Mafia(which does have swinging power in Russia) and they send 25 cents or something to the artists..if anything at all. Has any big name artist supported allofmp3?? I know iTMS has from both mainstream and indi.

    Oh yeah get over Ogg very few people even use it anymore. Plus I rather use ALE(Apples Lossless Encoder) or rip it at 160kbps on AAC anyday.

  12. DSL and Cable out of range for me! on Broadband Usage Up 42% In The U.S. In 2003 · · Score: 1
    I would jump on board if DSL could put a CO 1 mile closer to me or Cable could put Cable service down my way.

    Whats funny I only have to drive 1 mile to find a house in the range of DSL or Cable.

    Like most folks we've all went to Directv or Dish. We were promised Cable over 8 yrs ago and Cable never showed. Our only option for broadband is Sat. at around $50 odd bucks a month. I would go Sat. if they would drop the pricing to around $40 a month...because Earthlink dialup is killing me.

    I'm about to switch to Bellsouth dialup because they are offering $4.99 a month at a fixed rate. Current dialup bill from Earthlink dialup is $23.95

  16. Re:How about a cure for Small Cellular Cancer? on Anti-HIV Virus Developed · · Score: 1
    My mom did smoke but the Doc did say it wasn't caused my smoking(I guess he knows something he was educated at UAB where they've got like a whole city block dedicated to cancer and AID's research). But then again he couldn't say what caused it. Mom thought it could have been from asbestos used in the cotton mills back in the day..(alot folks from there have died from some type of lung cancer in last 5-6 yrs.)

    My mom lived a yr and half before it went to the brain and she refused treatment because she didn't want to become a vegetable.

    But what ended up killing her was freaking pneumonia (which also kills alot of AID's patients as well)..in 3 days it shut down her lungs with built up fluid...

    I'm now more or less worried about my dad because he too smoked alot..so his chances are even higher...then my mom's.

    My mom just died from it and I would put up $200k easy if someone could come out with a cure.

  18. I don't know about you but I rather own my games. on Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I don't want to DL games (dialup like over 50% of the US). I like having actual instructions and not some .pdf file of it. I actually like to touch my games and collect them. I will not subscribe or rent my games from Sony.

    Another Q? How can they sell it at $299 or less when in Japan they have stated a $699 price range?? Sounds like they will be taking a Xbox route on this one.

    I think I'll be going with the Nintendo DS which will also play the entire GB lib...and probably still cost less.
