Very correct! Most people don't know what a patent is, and most people who do live in countries where they can actively say "screw patens, we don't belong to any international accord on this" and just do whatever they want.
That's why, really, if you have something REALLY valuable you DON'T patent it, you just keep it secret.
First of all, I'm quite glad someone has decided to go this route for HD / HD-like discs that have tons of storage. The backwards compatibility is what will win people over. Plus, the name just sounds better.
I mean, who would buy something called "Blue-Ray" anyways?;-P
Since when have people actually *used* Ask Jeeves?
I've driven by their office (in LG) before, and it looks pretty sad.
I can understand a shootout between MSN, Google, and Yahoo, but to incorporate Ask Jeeves is like inviting a Christmas Island to nuclear talks with North Korea.
It's really a great idea that little people realise in that a product itself relatively costs nothing and supporting it and/or releasing hardware for it is where all the bucks are.:-)
I can say I haven't seen every episode of Farscape, but I enjoyed the ones I saw. And the trailer was so good and there was a lot of WOM spreading like Woodstock around the world about this trailer people were just jonesing for it!
Without Farscape, who would carry on the great Muppet tradition?
Free product needs to make money. Few people pay for software. Solution is to make people see ads. Before game doesn't work (nobody pays attention). Slap ads in game, collect money.;-)

I will bring your issue up with the United Federation of Planets immediately!

If we got rid of currency and patents and lawyers, think how happy the world would be.
We could do things for the sheer GOOD of doing them, people would be creative for creativity's sake. Just think Star Trek and don't tell me I'm wrong.
Thanks, commrade!
I think this may have something to do with susie! Do you or do you not agree susie has / gets tons of viruses? Seriously, not joking here! Thx.
This is hardly the time to bring up susie, although she is prone to viruses. Perhaps we can "toughen susie up" with the help of these papers!
Why didn't I think of that:? :P
It looks like Canada got Dexter right this time! Too bad they messed up with their version of Dexter's lab...

This would work if a third-party site that had lists of registrars went up...
But then VeriSign wouldn't make as much money!
OMG I was there at Comic-Con.

OMG if the "internet goes away" that means no work tomorrow!
;-)
Please I hope this is true!
OMG-if you want a cheap solution...
T-Mobile makes the sidekick,
You can make sidekick turn Japanese,
Text msg would work!
OMG-you made me realize something!
;-)
There are ads in real life.
Games want to be realistic.
So ads in the scenary in games,
And products having real names
Can work.
OMG, that's not going to happen.
;-(
Everyone loves money,
ESPECIALLY dump trucks full of money.
This is gravy,
A way to "maximize" profits.
OMG it's a no-brainer...
;-)
