Yes. There aren't any sets out there that don't for under $10,000. You're looking for a resolution of 1920x1080 on the display - the thousands out there that are 1280x720, 1280x768, etc, all do this.
People like me are advancing the business model. I'll buy it on DVD, and if it's offered in an on-demand fashion on my computer before that, I'll buy it there, too. Labelling me as a pirate because you can't be bothered to recognize market changes is exactly why the media conglomerates have to monopolize in order to profit.
I rarely actually sit down in front of the TV. I have a lot more time on the computer when I can have a video window open on another monitor.
So I picked up torrents for some Enterprise episodes in HD, thinking "hey, I'll just watch it here, and if I really like it, I'll make time for it."
A group called BayTSP started sending abuse notices to my ISP, threatening to sue me if I didn't stop sharing Enterprise episodes. So I stopped. And I don't watch it. I do, however, watch Battlestar Galactica, for which I have not received any file sharing complaints.
I do think Berman understands what Trek audiences like, but I think you're on the money with the rest.
After Roddenberry passed away, remember, Berman led the last few seasons of TNG.
You're right, they can't. Every time they come up with an interesting project, they try to "feature pack" it to a point where it can't meet development milestones. While the developers are struggling to meet ridiculous demands, the test teams are recycling every few months due to the contract worker settlement, and personnel on the team are randomly shuffled with other teams to keep their skills balanced.
You end up with a product missing features, a test team overworked by constant "crunches" when they have to cut test time to make up for late product completion, and total breakdown of communication when developers who haven't had time to document critical information have left for another group and don't have time to work with you.
It's just been getting worse in the last few years.
I live in Seattle. I don't code, I'm a PM - but I know plenty of out-of-work coders who aren't even offered an interview because they don't have the right bullshit "keywords" on their resumes.
Some of the people I know can write assembly, build synthesizers from scratch, and handle kernel mode Windows coding. Guess what? They aren't finding jobs. It's not because they "aren't looking hard enough", it's because they're being offered $40-50k for $70-80k worth of work, and they won't take that shit.
Excuse me. Until you show me something that says otherwise, I'm going to assume what my HR tells me, that most immigrants aren't family folks - they're single. $15 billion back to Mexico is a drop in the bucket - and I'm sure it's taken into account when deciding how much economic aid to give Latin America.
People making minimum wage aren't saving money and sending it home. They're making enough to survive. Sure, tech workers are making more than that, and they are sending some back home, but that's why we have a limit on the number of visas.
Let 'em come. This country was built on the idea of open immigration, and it didn't hurt us when the doors were open.
Mod parent up! I have seen no peer-reviewed studies or papers that show GM crops with higher yields than industrial farming. I *have* seen peer-reviewed papers showing that organic farming has higher sustained output than industrial, though.:)
I'd love to see a study that actually shows higher yields with GMO crops than with local varieties - that wasn't funded by one of the companies making the GMO crops. It has sounded to me, for a very long time, like there is no improvement.
And we haven't been genetically modifying our crops for millennia. We've been using eugenics, a completely different process with non-scary results.
Given that two wrongs don't make a right - why don't we just produce rice as Masanobu Fukuoka suggests in "The Natural Way of Farming" and "The One-Straw Revolution" - without chemical herbicides at all? We're wasting huge amounts of money on research into something totally unnecessary.
Bull. It's not hard.
-Decide where you live based on bike/bus/subway.
-Decide where you work based on the same.
-Yes, this means the big, scary, city.
-Sell your car, use the $3000+ you save every year to get a good bike.
-Rinse, repeat.
Take a change of clothes with you. Most employers have a place where you can change, and a place to put a backpack. Mine even have showers - so do many tech companies.
Considering the American defense system isn't allowed to shoot down planes unless they're headed for the White House or what have you, that would have made little difference.

So, let's see. TV is available for free, over the airwaves, or I can download it for free. You, sir, are an idiot.

Thank you very much! We'll see if PeerGuardian ends up being easier than trying a news server again. :)
That's a lot more work, although thank you for letting me know usenet is still kicking. :)

Very cool. If I'm ever in Kansas, I'll have to check it out. I suspected you might have been talking about Scarecrow Video, in Seattle, WA.

I suggest using Google Cache to find the article.
Something tells me you're talking about Scarecrow.
And so, therefore, make them legal, specifically so they aren't limited to the border areas, and they can move freely and work where there is work.

I'm saying they won't shoot down an airplane in a high-density area, because it'll do huge amounts of damage.

I'll stick with my organic vegetarianism rant.
Right - in a rural area. Not in NYC.

and this one looks almost the same. Hm...
Composed, yes. If a professor has notes and speaks based on that, it's not composed.
Only if the lecture is copyrighted. She's laughing at you, by the way.
