From the article...
Napisy.org was the most popular Polish portal where users were free to submit translated subtitles for popular movies (mostly from English to Polish, but not only). Popular video players could be then used to display the subtitles when playing a movie (usually a DVD-rip). They were merely distributed the subtitle files to overlay onto a movie file.
I hear many people give an argument along the lines of:
"Most people download things they wouldn't bother to buy if they had to, so is it really damaging the music or film industry??".
The thing is, if NO music or films were available to download illegally and for free, people would no doubt realise that in fact they would be willing to pay for a few CDs and DVDs, rather than rely purely on TV, radio or the cinema.
Of course, we live in a world where it IS available. Which invalidates my previous point.
When fixing their MS installation, looked quite confused at the prospect that their PC doesn't make coffee for them. When they question you, simply place a Live CD on their desk and walk out.
After a few weeks, they'll forget your lie and love you for providing them with linux...
According to IMDB, it was the infamous "Andy McNab" who advised on weapon-related matters in Heat. Regardless, I agree: loud, scary and accurate. A very cool scene in a very cool film.
Yeah but on the plus side, you can close your eyes and imagine, if just for a moment, that you really do have 100 terrabytes of porn sitting in your hard drive.
I agree: numbers of that magnitude are useless. As are irrational numbers that have been calculated to pointless high numbers of decimal places.
Pi, for example, has been calculated to an extraordinary number of places, yet as some unknown wise-guy pointed out: "thirty-nine places of pi suffice for computing the circumference of a circle girdling the known universe with an error no greater than the radius of a hydrogen atom"!

So you're not just paying for the convenience of having somebody compile it for you...
I'd probably pay $300m not to be called Kevin Ham.

My God... we could have infinite bang!

So are they actually providing the information required for home developers to write their own plugins??
You can imagine the developers on the phone to their competition...
What?? That camera's rubbish.... ours goes up to one-hundred and eleven!!
I've had these problems for years on my PC. Sticky keyboards, strange streaks across the monitor, bad odours eminating from my dvd drive...
I just put it down to loneliness...
Anybody else notice that Webb is expected to have a lifetime ten years shorter than Hubble?
I'd have expected a more recently built telescope to last longer than an older one.
Also, anybody have a clue exactly what happens when a telescope dies?? (Visions of Hubble slowly growing incontinent etc.....)
