I buy a DVD, my fuckin money goes to support those greedy bastards. They make millions and they still want to control us because of those "rippers"(call them whatever you want) and everybody is a victim here from average joes who don't know jack about DRM and pirated copies to people who just want to be able to bring a movie to a friends house to have a laugh at Dr. Evil's failing plans.
Once again, an abysmal solution that they will probably more in the future because they have yet to find a system that would penalize the movie pirates and not every single consumer.
gaim has a windows port which is pretty stable, I can confirm that because I use it for my msn and aim accounts.
Gaim has what I need. tabbed conversations to remove clustering, a file transfer that works, easy to configure and it looks simple & it blends in with the style of your theme.
If they can make a shitload of money out of any marketting strategy, Microsoft will do anything in their power to sell the most of anything and make profit.
Yes it is stupid. Users/companies pay for licenses of Windows which is somewhat costly when you compare what other solutions can do for a fraction of a price (Linux?!) and on top of that, they want to potentially sell you crap so their crap can be more secure using the previous crap. What a load of crap.
China also assemble the iPods (my 4g says Assembled in China, designed by AHNOLD) but I'm not reading any stories of defective ipods even though the western countries were and are always opposed the ideals of Communism.
It is boring I won't argue but if EA continue to release sport titles every year, it's because there is a large market out there formed of pigeons who will buy every sport title of every year which makes EA richer with these titles that seem all the same other than some player changes and "graphic improvements".
Am I the only one who noticed that in many cases, the games that come with a console from ebay sellers are sport titles?
I originally acquired a minidisc for one main reason: Battery Life. It would last around 50 hours on a single AA and that was the only thing I cared a year ago. Eventually I discovered all the issues with the technologies involved into this portable media.
Minidiscs (Net-MD and HI-MD) do have many issues such as: - ATRAC only. Compress your compressed mp3s into Atrac. Noticable Quality Loss. If you want to preserve the quality, then record LIVE (SP-Mode) like a cassette but do we really have time to do that? Compress = lose time = quality loss = why?!? - Cheap built quality. Sony tends to make the higher-priced models built to last longer using material like magnesium unlike plastic of the lower-end models. It makes some sense I guess since it costs more but for a company like Sony, the company who ruled in the era of Walkmans (god those things were solid), I find it sad how the tables have turned. Walkmans used to take major beatings and they'd still function. - slow transfer. because of conversion and because it doesn't mearly use the potential of usb 2.0. Very abysmal on NET-Md's. On HI-Md's, they try to impress you with "100X" when in fact that's 500kb/s of burning speed.
I'm glad that Sony at least understood that it will take mp3 playback capability to at least compete in the market of portable audio players but they are already behind, way behind in the western countries and have a long way. They have to improve the software these players use (SonicStage has a horrible interface and barely enough features) and built quality of these players.
I'l sum this up by saying that I just wish Sony could build their future players like they used to with the Walkmans: Built to last.
By insane I mean ridiculous at a first glimps. People from here who look at a toilet with a remote control and buttons and hot water spray will think "GOIDDAMN THATS A CYBORG HOOKED TO UR BUTT!" If you see what I mean.
Because in my city (Montreal, QC CA) and probably others too, these kind of stores actually have posters saying in big and bold "XBOX PS2 CHIP $$" or anything implying that they sell/mod chips.
By this, I'm assuming those employees were modding and selling consoles with games on disk, otherwise I wonder how all these stores are still on business.
Jerry Seinfeld did the right thing when he got fedup of continuing the series and refused the offer from NBC. At least the show ended with dignity and with its signature of "a show about nothing" with the same main cast from the beginning until the end.
Imagine replacing Michael Richards with oh, lets say Steven Seagal. You'd love that wouldn't you! (Sarcasm Detector of Professor Frink just blew up)
When you change actors, that changes EVERYTHING, even if they play well their roles.

Down with DRM!

Bollywood? =)
*in a Mr. Burns voice*
- Excellent
It does seem to be down.
It was a great site to search torrents throughout many torrent sites which it had in database to look for.

that would be the TACO TOWER!

God I wish that last one could one day be real
If Richard Simmon's hair could be done in ascii, that's what it would look like.
will soon be a reality!

Lucky you. The ones in the park near my place last top a little over a minute!

Find me a western company that makes products as insane or remotely close to this.

From Family Guy:
Bob Dole likes your style. Bob Dole! BOB DOLE!... Bob dole.. Bob......... Dole..
then its not Doom. Plain simple
Change that alone changes everything into something that isn't Doom.

Imagine Mola Ram with a schwartz! And with that laugh, its a perfect combination!
However, he admits that future sequels may feature a younger actor, similar to the James Bond series post-Connery."
Or how about before Roger Moore with George Lazenby? Oh that was horrific!
