Contrary to popular belief, Vioxx has not been taken "off the market" yet. Pfizer has stopped its advertisement campaign to the public, but they are still offering kickbacks to Doctors who want to prescribe it.
Well, when mp3's became hip, I downloaded them off sources on IRC. Then napster came out and every moron with an aol account was downloading mp3's. Then napster was shut down. Then connection speeds improved and I started downloading movies and apps from IRC. Then Kazaa/Fastrack came out. Then every moron with an aol accound was on Kazaa. Then they started suing said morons that put their email address in. THEN I started using bittorrent to download Linux ISO's, the pirating started with Bittorrent, and before I knew it, more morons with aol accounts were talking about suprnova. Then it died. Meanwhile I'm still on IRC and still no problems.
But the early adopters in this case, the techies, are already getting DVD quality movies over the internet, and for a lot less that whatever this will cost. How is Napster 2.0 doing anyway?
The deal with TiVo will give Netflix an alternative distribution strategy, Devar said. The company believes DVDs will continue to be the dominant medium for movies over the next few years, but the deal with TiVo gives Netflix a start down the road toward the delivery of movies over the Internet, she said.
I work in the rental industry, In my opinion the masses still like tangible goods. While the DVD is dominant now, another physical delivery method will replace them, not delivery over the internet. It would work for a few demographics but even my grandmother owns a DVD player. She will not be getting this service however.

Actually Lois, we call you people "Normies"
Sure Bart, the Laser displays were great for the first 10 years, but then your eyes fall out!
I forgot, are we supposed to hate Intel?

or FreeDOS? Remember, Dell recommends Windows XP professional. Because thats the OS we can markup the most.
Have we positively ruled out terrorism as a cause of this seismic activity at this point?

Hey I wonder if anyone over at Napster, Inc. ever throws money into the "honor system" coffee jar at their office...
