my eyes would burn, my ass would go numb, and i would contemplate suicide if not for my legs couldn't move to get me to the kitchen to grab the knife. and at that point i don't think my brain could process any higher order functions
Hopefully the show will remain...i have to say, I was not impressed with the first season, and the second was still iffy....this season is actually pretty good and is keeping my interest. So it may have had a slow startup but it is picking up.
Why does it have to be absolute on either way? Why not have a hybrid. Underlying themes/plots coming up in the episodes, but each episode having some individual aspect to help bring in the n00bs.
If you have any 401k, stand alone stocks, mutual funds then you are a shareholder --- even if you are not attending the baord meetings. Does this make you an evil person? Especially since you want your shares to gain value as fast as possible?
thats his particular view - and maybe things didn't go as well for him as he would have liked. Maybe he should step down as CEO and go back to doing research....nobody said being a public firm is 100% happy dandy, but that doesn't mean it is a terrible thing either.
It's not bullshit (as you call it) as everytime someone is murdered - there is some immediate relative who will suffer.
Yes I would. If anyone ever laid a hand on my mother god help them, because nobody else would be able to. (we are assuming that my unborn son was doing this out of some malicious, unprovoked purpose.)
The purpose of a backup is in case something happens to the first (duh). While a loss complicates things, the spirit of the law also intends it for this. How many DVD's do you plan on losing? I think if the FBI raided your house and saw that you owned one or two backups (without the originals) but you could prove that you bought the originals you would be ok. If the FBI raided your house, and you had 100 backups, and no originals - then you might be in trouble.
In essence the laws want you to be able to have (in good faith) a copy of the cd/dvd. So as usual, everything in moderation.
So what is: "Vote our way, or we will take our business elsewhere"?
I do this all the time. I go to the store, and negotiate...if I don't like the offer I leave... So Billy is negotiating with the gov't....if they don't like his offer, he leaves...
PA state dummy laws allows me to return my product back for full refund within 30 days. No store policy can recind this law. Best Buy policy is to also accept returns.
I don't understand, who is going to fine me for what? The CC company? They won't fine me for making a claim with them. If they decide not to side with me (highly unlikely) they will just give me the bad news.
Lets not toaly blame the movie industry...the retailers would prefer that customers do not return products (as this affects their bottom line).
How is me returning my product a huge victory for movie studios? It is a huge victory for the consumer - as consumer rights beat-up the big company who likes to make threats and false claims.
Yea wonderful...the gov't needs roadblocks to prevent punishing people who knowingly break the law. Thats a wonderful piece of insight. So I guess you would impede a gov't investigation into catching a murderer if you could right? What if that person killed (god forbid) was your mother - would you think so highly of a journalist preventing the capture of the killer?
I think journalistic sources should be protected except when the sources are committing a crime (civil or criminal). Why do we have to make blanket laws - why can't things be handled on a case by case basis. So if the person revealing the information is doing something for the public good (i.e. if Apple knew that iPods caused cancer, and this person was informing everyone is for greater public good) then they are protected...if the person is doing this cause he just wants to, he should not be protected.
And i thought the courts later ruled that you could break the dmca as long as it is to make private backups (as stated above). I could be wrong (i am sure someone will tell me if i am wrong).
A public company must try to keep the business going in the best possible means. Yes it should try to maximize profit - while serving the greater public interest. So it cannot do "everything possible" without breaking many other laws.
I don't think google is evil, I don't think they are good. They are a for-profit organization - and they have been prior to going public.
I kinda like it (I don't use it unless it is the opening night for a high demand movie)....What is nice, really nice, is they come and take your order at your seat...so you do not have to wait in line.
Except the journalists are impeding a legal investigation. They are knowingly preventing the enforcement of a legal document.
Forcing journalists to reveal their sources in instances where their sources are breaking the law (an nda is a legal document), when that "whistle blowing" serves no greater public good is a good thing, and maybe people will learn to respect the pieces of paper they signed.
What way would you like for Apple to bust this guy? Do you think a corporate memo will get him to fess up?
Only a couple of movies I have had to deal with that were out of focused (spider-man)...the first part of the movie everything was ultra wide (I can't look at william dafoe again...he was 5 feet wide, 3 feet tall...and a bus that looked wider, and shorter then a lamborghini). For the most part, though, everything is cool...though Armagedden was kinda loud.
As for loud teens...you simply need to 're-educate' them on proper cell-phone etiquette.
So if I receive a watermarked document, print it out (i presume apple will continue to allow their employees to print out documents) and I hand it to the media... what protection does apple have? The media is not going to scan the apple document (they might), they will probably just re-type it....or I will retype it and give it to them. So I am failing to see how this watermark is supposed to protect apple....I can understand if it is used on a design (i.e. if i create a picture and someone tries to copy it).
"You won't accept my product back?"....{leave store, call credit card company} "Yes they won't accept my product. Please handle it...oh and since i had to make a far journey to walmart i refuse to drive back there, again, to deliver the package. Inform them they can send me a pre-paid usps packing slip/box."
And yes I have done this in the past, got my money back, and had the packing slip sent to me. It wasn't wal-mart (it was best buy). Their other option was to credit me my money, and I keep the product (it was a $100 dvd burner, so they had incentive to send me a packaging box).
I think this new macrovision will be circumvented quickly - like all other media protection. The only problem will happen when it doesn't play in someone's dvd player because that dvd player is not "new enough" which is bogus.
As to your question of who gets to choose our rights:
Congress
Courts
President
Who gets to put these clowns in that position of power: the voter.
What happens after these clowns are placed in office...well its sorta like MS' plug and pray... we plug em in, and we pray that they work for us.
I believe the courts ruled that making digital backups is legal for the consumer as long as they own a legit copy of the original (and keep it). So no copying the original dvd, and then selling (giving) the original dvd to someone while keeping the copy.
What theatres do you go to? The major theatres in my area (KoP Imax, Loews cherry hill, united artists) are running about 9.50 for a ticket... bust out the popcorn, & soda brings my price to almost 20 bucks...not including my date (she better pony up that butt for 20 bucks);)

Nothing wrong with good ole sexing it up (Brings us pig-heads in)
:D
And how can you mess with tribbles? Good god man that defined Star Trek
If I want to visit a website in the UK (that has a .uk domain) and this feature is turned off, will FF not go there?

As the movie starts, move the the center seats. I am sure if the theatre is empty they won't care.
