Not to mention the inclusion of scenes not actually in the movie. Take Spiderman's trailer with the helicopter getting stuck in the web between the twin towers-- this was created explicitly for promotion and was never intended to be a part of the movie (not a cut scene or anything). The Negotiator sold itself using a line in the trailer that wasn't in the actual movie, "Now you have to deal with both of us." I wanted to know how that would work into the plot and it wasn't there.
You have this idea of how your child should be and what they should like, and then they shatter your dreams when they start playing sports and getting girlfriends.
Not only that, but is it even possible to purchase a legitimate copy of OS X for use on a PC? Certainly there are provisions in the licensing agreement dictating where it can be installed, meaning you would be in just as much violation whether or not you shelled out the cash.
...storyline. Grim Fandango, for instance, is one of the most amazing games I've played. It has a great story, a unique style, and hilarious bits thrown in here and there. Being able to interact with a story can be brilliant; I think this is where some of the Final Fantasy series' popularity comes from.
If you could download a pizza and the pizza restaurant would still have the original pizza it baked, would you download it? What about a car?
This doesn't address some of the core issues at play, or maybe it does, since it's a changing marketplace to which the record industry does not wish to adapt as compared to its previous cash cow. If you make something people don't want, people won't buy it, including CDs you're told you can't transfer to devices, or DVDs that make you wait through mandatory introductions prior to allowing you to view the content you purchased. And nevermind that when you buy a CD or DVD, you are buying nothing. You're told you don't own what you've bought and the full rights to what you bought still belong to the author, therefore you can't do with it what you please such as transfer it to your digital music device. You're also not being sold a license because they won't give you new physical media if yours gets damaged. They want to have their cake and eat it too. Do you enjoy buying nothing?
I think a better solution for saving the energy drain of having a vat of water constantly being heated would be to instead install a tankless water heater. They are more expensive, but they heat the water real-time through a series of small tubes.

Indeed, he was brought into a discussion about GTA IV on NPR's Talk of the Nation last week. I had never heard him, just read about him. He came off like a total jackass, scoffing at the end, "I'm done?" "Yes, you're done."
Anecdotally, I have a 32 GB SSD in my Dell M1330. I got stuck with Vista with this machine, but in its "User Experience" rating I get a 5.8 for hard drive. The scale is based on 5.0 being the fastest available at Vista's release. I assume "fastest" refers to consumer machines, but have conventional hard drives somehow become that much more efficient all of a sudden that they meet or exceed this performance?
If I were in a business where I had to us an inkjet printer I would be pissed. Even our finance director has a little HP LaserJet 1300. What a nightmare it would be to work in IT at a company so short-sighted as to forgo/ignore basic ROI analysis.
For the casual printer of confidential documents, send a locked job to your copier. Lease a decent copier if you can't do this.

My god, watching that clip makes me feel like I'm waiting for the girls to show up in a gangbang video.
We could both be fluorescent!
I have never seen such a tangible commitment to the single life.
Joking about it doesn't make its fodder any less true. Don't tase me bro.
You don't need any book to identify terrorists.

Although I must say, the nested acronyms just about blew my mind.

Ahhh, posts about the Simpsons AND MacGyver on the front page at the same time. I can die now; order has been restored.

I think you misunderstood my comment, which was refuting its parent's claim, nothing more.

I assume that means the remaining .05 computer is running DOS 5.0 and programmed using QuickBasic.
It has been covered extensively in the press, yet no links to this for me? Ugh, life is so hard.

I couldn't help but notice that the submitter, a commercial entity, currently has four articles on the front page.
