I think that we should judge all our projects by this huge knowledge base, for if 50 million facebook uses don't know what something is, then it is a complete waste of time.
Surely they would all use the cached data, so it wouldn't actually download it five times. Maybe an extension to load up ie, opera, lynx and kde browser would do the trick.
If your wife is a surgeon, then she doesn't have regular patients, she has surgical patients. Any emergency information should be left in their patients file, not with your wife on the other end of a phone call. So I guess you both never leave the city limits, or travel on the subway, or go into buildings that don't have complete phone access (lots of buildings don't, especially basements), or go somewhere noisy?
This is ridiculous, you can never be guaranteed full reception anyhow.
In fact you are both correct. It depends on your point of view. I agree with the original poster, I don't think there is enough of a difference to DVD, and I don't like any of the movies that came out over the last 5 months. But most people aren't like me, and need something to buy.
I agree with the first point, your second point not so much.
The fact is people want something to buy. If people need a DVD player, they would rather get a HD-DVD player that played both. If they just want to get a present for someone, or want something new, they will get the HD-DVD player. You are trying to apply logic too much to the masses. They don't make decisions based on logic. They don't know what HD means, but that it is the latest thing, and they must have it.
Things like this can win the format war. The timing is right, people seem to want something new. The player is cheap. It is coming up to christmas. This can make a big difference. Probably wont though.
...or, make sure you have all your equipment with you, before you leave the door. It is nobody elses fault that you forgot your passport and they wouldn't let you on the plane, either.
The majority of this are drug addicts. They don't have the time to wait, nor the intelligence to recognise sensitive data (to be fair, that can be very difficult), nor the want to be put up on very serious charges.
While funny, this isn't really how the world works. In the words of obi-wan kenobi, things look different from other points of view.
The fact is that if they execs didn't manage to get their way, they did manage to get a cut of hardware sales, they would make a huge amount of money from it. It is almost immoral of them not to try, which usually doesn't go beyond a lot of words said frankly.
It is similar to the way soccer players play. It makes such a huge difference if they get a penalty, it is almost immoral of them not to try and fake an injury.
Of course, when these things happen every few weeks (or in the case of soccer, every few minutes), it gets a bit boring for the rest of us.
How do you determine if something is over-priced? Is it simply because you think it it too much to pay? Clearly you are not the majority. Or is it based on a similar item, made from cheaper parts, that may not last as long in terms of battery and its lifetime?
The big question is, when they dub over movies, to they change references from google to something else? I imagine this is how a lot of people know about google.
Blank cds and dvds now are a lot cheaper than tapes ever were. I think you are making the mistake of comparing them when they have added value (content such as music and movies).
Seems very reasonable to me. Of course they are going to be errors, we all accept that. But unless someone drops us an Apple spreadsheet, this is the best its gonna get.
Dude, move on. If she dumped you then, she's probably not going to come anywhere near you now (no, let me guess, it was a "mutual thing"). And, if she does, it's probably in preparation to clobber you with some spiteful "message." You've already voiced your subservience by "[ringing] them up every couple months" like some kind of pathetic loser.
I don't know you, and I really couldn't care less what you do, but I do feel some strange camaraderie based upon our shared gender alone. So, I'll leave you with this -- hooking up with an old girlfriend (even if they really were hot, or even just Slashdot "hot") never, ever, ever ends well. You're begging to walk down the valley of tears. Do with this advice whatever you wish.
You are an idiot. I have done this on many occassion, just for a bit of fun, and it has been great. If you are both single, then what is the problem? Maybe I can make a suggestion to you, don't treat people like shit and maybe things won't end badly for you.
So, you are not interested in more details? Just straight away, fuck em?
There are some legitimate reasons to go down this path, you realise? Not everything is as obvious as the Amazon one-click patent, or the guy who patented swinging on a tire.
Well, some of us had hot girlfriends, who we really would like to meet again. So now there is a quick and easy way to find out which ones are married, have boyfriends without having to ring them up every couple of months.
So because you can think of one person who you don't want to get in contact with, therefore you cannot understand that other people might have known someone they would like to get in contact with? Are you really that stupid. I myself have a load of friends who I don't contact very much anymore because I have moved to the other side of the world. Now I have another avenue of keeping in touch with them, seeing pictures from the latest parties, etc...
Sure, it is not the greatest thing in the world, but it is quite useful to keep in touch with people who aren't in your immediate circle of friends. And at least the email doesn't have any spam in it.
What is the deal with leaving money to the kids. Does anybody really believe that they are doing there kids a favor by leaving all this money to them? "Yes, I want my kids to be spoiled brats, just like Paris, etc... That is my big dream."

Why don't they just work with 16-bit colour. Use this internally, and it should solve all the problems. Sure there will be a performance hit, but how much does that really matter with programs such as this? And it would be a lot easier than dealing with 24-bit or 32-bit...just change all the bytes to words. (OK, it won't be that easy, but a lot more possible)

With more bandwidth, we will need more content, so I guess we can expect a few more repeats.

The US is also an oil producing nation.
The people never get to see any of that money either.
Exactly the same with Canada, who provides more oil to the US than any other country.
Your points are ridiculous. Why don't you think about what you are saying first.
In fact you are both correct. It depends on your point of view. I agree with the original poster, I don't think there is enough of a difference to DVD, and I don't like any of the movies that came out over the last 5 months. But most people aren't like me, and need something to buy.

You should pop over to the US then. What it costs in petrol, you save on the $50 canadian that it actually costs.

Before last night it was only about 50,677.

Just went there, couldn't understand a thing. How can people really expect to use this at all?

You don't even want one for free? No, you are not the average apple fan, you are either a liar or a fool. Or possibly both.

Thanks Captain Obvious, I don't know what we would have done without you. You truely have made the world a better place.
