Not sure why everyone says the production and marketing costs for DVD are alot.
Someone is printing and selling the DVDs of very old shows at 7-11 for $1.00. I see the box of them empty and refill quite often. (alot more often than the rack of $25.oo new releases, in fact) It would seem the expense is not the physical but IP part:( Add another buck for prettier packaging and stuff then the physical part is $2.00. I doubt it would work as well if it wasn't such an impulse item, i think a wait would even kill em at that price tho!
Anyways, i doubt they would make it cheap enough to be interesting:(
Good guy: Whatever happened to the "just say no" campaigns, maybe another coutry should pick em up and Just Say No to illegal requests from foreign gov'ts;)
Sounds like the whole "Mom said no, so i'll ask Dad" routinue and Dad bit:(
Bad guy: Could there be stuff on there that shouldn't be if they host for others also? and will it bite them in the ass?
You're gonna make go to the basement yet and use something besides the 100-year-old (?? when was the telephone invented?) screw terminals for the incoming DSL line !
While i only have the original 640k plan it tests out with low pings and 560k download speed with very little noise everytime day or night:) Local speakeasy-type isp. on Qwest lines.
Office 2 blocks away gets 538k on old Qwest DSL but Qwest isp.
Now if (Qwest? myISP? other?) didnt route an extra 2000 miles when they talk to each other......:/
Anyway, those numbers from TFA do seem a bit odd. Could the modem or something be losing half the data? ROuter on ISP side doing it? Could there be something like this messing it up at both speeds? 50% packet loss? Really congested area and the ISP simply chokes everyone by half when its full is a nasty thought but...:(
How is this diferent from when i saw this advertised here (spokane) YEARS ago? Still 100 movies at $2-4. Did it just take them this long to decide to launch country wide? I thought they canned it all actually.
Don't know anyone who tried it, so no idea how good it was.
Only 100 to choose from i doubt i would find more than a few to watch, my taste isnt really very mainstream.
Netflix here for selection, no cable til i can get the handful of stations i want for less than $70:/
" The game, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors."
Simply change the zombies,germans,and other assorted baddies into Jack Thompsons and friends and you have political value and the law no longer applies:)
Even easier, after a compnay spends $1,000,000 on graphic artists you don't suppose they may try to argue for artistic merit;)
Really it sounds like a mess to try and interpet the umm definition used. I vote with the Brit, there might be some value in simply enforcing ratings (if one forces the movie companies to go along also of course)

So which of those 2 apply to online gambling but NOT to walking across the street and buying any of like 12 different scratch tickets, several varieties of lotto including keno, or maybe walk the other way and play blackjack, poker, or whatever all of which are legal and i havent even left town for the reservation yet.... ??
Just trying to keep the money here where they can reach it:(
Yup, CGA should have made it somewhere. Never actually had a CGA monitor, it looked just as good emulated to monochrome:( Gee i wish i could still trade half my screen resolution for a couple more colors..not:)
Unless one is writing in machine code isn't a 'language' simply a PROGRAM that translates one set of commands into another set.
Why is this immune to bugs? I thought we just said programs are buggy? One would hope of course this is an instance were they keep going til they got it right before release. But how can you gaurentee they are not prone to bugs?
What is stopping me from releasing my own language? Wouldn't be popular, useful, or easy. I bet it most certainly WOULD be 'prone to bugs' however;)
That sounds like an reason to live there not have a business there. Having no income tax has little to do with having a good business climate.
If i had a choice(not my company..yet) i would move the comapny next door to idaho despite the tax. The business tax forms rock;) Idaho sales tax form is 1/3 page....the Washington form is 4 pages...which one do you want to pay someone to fillout each month?? Not to mention WA snipes.5% off the top that you can't pass on directly for B&O tax .
How about a litter tax for the state of WA.....that doesn't apply to McDonalds!?! WTF, none of the litter here comes from fast food joints ?!? They slipped that exemption thru a few years ago, never heard of it til i looked something up after they demanded we pay it. (we sell Ensure = food exemption for sales tax = groceries = litter tax applied to half our sales (or manually calculate correctly which would cost more than paying it)
but hey we have no income tax, but still collect more taxes than most states with em:( Wouldn't be so bad if there weren't exemptions for most big businesses,etc.
And exactly how many times to you figure you can get away with launching nuclear weapons from an icbm?!?
In fact a ship or plane seems infinately more likely/logical...pretty damn tough to say that big missle hole in the ground is NOT yours or belongs to a rogue group!
Likewise i would love to see them reproduce mine, if only i could adopt it as real;) I really doubt a picture will reproduce my lazy tongue and slurred r's:(
Doesn't matter now....you plead it, you did it, whatever it was;(
You don't actually have to have even done what what you plead to for it to be kosher.
Someone round here just made a plea to 'copyright infringement' cause it was the only felony without jail time and the DA made a plea bargin for no jail time, but one guy would have gotten automatic time for another conviction but avoided it with this. Paper even had some snazzy legal term for it of course.
PS. He plead to 500-1000 copies of music, so subtract that number from all future RIAA claims....... hehe
I don't know about any others but i bought some games from william soleau long long ago. He seems to still be making out ok in his little niche. Looks like a 3+ person operation now. Great little logic puzzles and stuff. Oilcap was one of my favorite DOS games, recently bought a windows version and more from him.
The other one i remember was Moraffware who also seems to still be around, tho pretty quiet for awhile it seems. Nonetheless i may buy a CD of his stuff:) I remember his cause i had some logic games that ran in everything from monochrome to svga+ (16 video resolutions on one of em!) very nicely at a time when vga was cutting edge.
Very nice stuff from both, glad they are still available, think i'll buy a disk or two for support:)

Sure if the price is right.
:( Add another buck for prettier packaging and stuff then the physical part is $2.00. I doubt it would work as well if it wasn't such an impulse item, i think a wait would even kill em at that price tho!

So i will share it with you.........

Got this dang imagine of curling with Tetris blocks stuck in my brain now so try not to think about it too hard.
Ok, the whole idea is silly. When do they add poker?
Now a Non-olympics event for games,poker,??? for players from around world could be fun. (I want a cut tho FOX)
wow, good call.

besides adding this stuff to a robogeico?

Last of heard of this technique it had a problem in that it gets dirty VERY quickly and starts losing its sticky
Having to hire a window washing crew everytime i want to play spiderman downtown gets too expensive and really slows down those rescues

I've just figured out my new passphrase :)

If you unplug the cables to take my computer i will never be able to duplicate my passphrase....sorry
Now as long as the cat doesn't move my cables around i am good to go, hehe.

Never know what may happen
63% say tap others

:(
66% say tap themselves is ok
NO WAY, and certainly not in US land of NIMBY
Must have been some hella biased/confusing questions or something
Disabled. They tried to enable but none of the MB would enable it.
Sounds great we can finally get some work done around here..... ;)
I know i would never have the nerve to try and extort Google....
:)
I really wouldn't care to see my company logo turned into a G choking an L in front of a few million people
And i just figured they had to do something after drinking all that coffee :)
I forgot something.
What about the other way?
Do they see the 10 people on the office NAT as one IP ?!?
That would skew it in the other direction and average things out wouldn't it? Now 10 is definately excessive.
Fixed 4:1 ratio here tho i can't speak for anyone else.
1 office and 3 home computers.
10 seems a little excessive, timeframe probably matters to actual ratio: unique per day? month? year?
awesome
;(
I can delete my 4 accounts and claim a huge loss to offset my taxes....
How about
They can tax it at FMV when it counts toward my assets for a loan? The credit union doesn't believe i have all that gold
