Great comment. The MPAA is trying to do something positive, make it easier to find legitimate movies for download. Oh shock, they don't have an amazing selection on their first day... who cares. It will get better, and it makes it easier for people who do want to buy movies.
Wow, so it doesn't work for you, congratulations on being a wanker.
Don't have the money. Cinema in your country is not showing it. Don't care about special effects, just interested in the story. Don't like sitting still for >2 hours at a time. Sick of wasting money on crap at the cinema. Want to watch it at 4am. Bored, and got nothing better to do.
Do they really think those 38 hours bought them anything? Do they honestly believe that their profits would have been reduced had a crappy cam recording been available 38 hours earlier?
Can you prove that it didn't? Can you prove that they would have the same amount of money if they didn't pursue this? No, neither can they.
If you think about it logically, it does seem like the fact that some people can see the movie for free would mean less money for them. Sure, not all pirates would pay, but some would, or can you prove this as well.
I am a geek in every sense of the word, starting programming Z80 Assembly, then moved onto X86. Being a geek doesn't mean you don't admire what Apple does and how Apple hardware works. The interface of a device like the touch is something to marvel over.
Your is an idiotic statement. Who makes the big decisions about where Apple should head? Who came up with the ipod or the iphone? Do you not think Apples stock will go down if something happened to Steve?
Please tell us where you work so we can all avoid it like the plague. This is nothing like a doctor, a doctor is limited by laws put on him, and Hippocratic oath. There is nothing like that for IT, so you shouldn't be looking at the data.
If it is a shared database, that is one thing. If it is a separate database, then it is off limits.
If you compare the number of people who have smoked dopes, to the ones have ruined their lives, and do the same with Alcohol, I bet you are going to get a much higher percentage of dope smokers who have succumbed. Dope makes you more relaxed, and less motivated. Alcohol just makes you angry.
It seems that they need to provide different tables for different operating systems. They probably have a standard one for non-Windows operating systems. It could be just that there was a mistake.
I think it is funny to see the religions getting together to get rid of Atheists. It is like George Bush and Saddam Hussein getting together to get rid of pacifists.
The bible has a secure claim of being the oldest preserved book
Ok fair enough, but imagine of instead of some fairytales, we had a history book. Imagine how great that would be.
Well we are MORE certain about the bible being unchanged than we are about that little event actually having had place.
Really? I mean, those MILLIONS of people involved have made records. (I can read my grandfathers diary, for instance) There are newspapers from the time. There are literally millions of DIFFERENT sources all describing the event in different ways. There are photos. How can you possibly make this statement?
You can tell you have lost an argument when you need to take it to extremes.
Who is to say it is an improvement? Does it really make what you do faster, or just different?
There are some things that people what improved, like living in caves, there are some things people don't want improved, they just want to work. Why you don't see joysticks to control your car, rather than a steering wheel.
Obviously they sent it do a different address first, with a couple of printed inside, and asked them to forward on the paper to the next address. Brillant!

Name a *less* intrusive DRM system.
Sort of like saying it is the nicest prison around, or he was the gentlest rapist ever.
We don't want any DRM. If nobody bought Apple DRM music and movies, then we probably would have non-DRM encoded stuff by now.

Are you suggesting they killed Heath Ledger, just to ensure this movie would sell?
I guess I don't find that too hard to believe.
Yes, for a lot of reasons:
Don't have the money.
Cinema in your country is not showing it.
Don't care about special effects, just interested in the story.
Don't like sitting still for >2 hours at a time.

It is more like he read your diary, notice you have been having some problems with your girlfriend, and rang up to offer some advice later that day.
Of course you can, if you aren't used to it. It is quite a strong drug, and you build up a tolerance to it quickly.

There is a small difference between sucking, and not working at all. This motherboard claims to support ACPI, but doesn't (for Linux).

Is that you Leroy?

Is that a threat :)
And allow me to blow your mind by predicting that one day we will reach 100000 and that therefore we might as well start right now writing it 002008!
I will take that bet. I don't see us getting to 9999.

For this reason, allowing your customers to feed their excess power in to the grid is actually quite dangerous.
Everything about the power system is dangerous, I am sure they are more than capable of handling this.
What I can't understand is why Staroffice/OpenOffice tried so hard to copy something so bad.
What, you really can't understand that most people don't want to learn something new? What are you, a fucking moron?
dude, your mum is hot!
What, make millions of dollars, and be the envy and pride of management all around the world?
Remember, it is only geeks who see what she did as wrong? She merged two huge companies, successfully.

Sort of like debt-consolidation?
