Most people I know who download TV also buy box sets as they become available. They generally download to tide them over until they are available. For most people a purchased item is something tangible which isn't true of a download.
"Since we began shutting these sites down, the time that it takes to
download a file on BitTorrent has increased exponentially which means the
experience of downloading copyrighted films and TV shows is not what it
used to be," said Glickman. "We intend to make it even worse. Protecting
the television industry is essential."
If it had any effect at all, which I doubt, you'd think that driving more users to fewer trackers would actually increase download speeds with bittorrent.
Wouldn't stripping ads out of a compressed file lower quality. If so, why would the people who encode the existing distributed files continue to do so with their current methods.
MS disabling outgoing raw sockets is a safety feature for the rest of us. Who cares if a couple hundred people legitimately using raw sockets under Windows can't if they patch. The important fact is it got harder for the other trillion windows boxes to flood useful websites.
Yes, yes, I realize that last time it wasn't a useful site;) but it could be Google next time!
As Apple supporters point out Tiger is scheduled to debut first, while pointing fingers they ignore developement dates.
Many of these 'copied' features have been promised by Microsoft since Windows XP (2001), however Tiger has only been worked on since Panther(late 2003).
One problem I've noticed is that Spreadsheet isn't quite up to par. I don't know whats in the curriculum but accounting classes might need features in Excel.
Not having advanced macros could be a selling point, when I was in high school computers all had macro viruses.
check your statistics again. homosexual marriages have a greater failure(ie, divorce) rate than heterosexual marriages. look at amsterdame & canada, two places where gay marriage is legal. not trolling, just telling you the facts.
It hasn't been legal for a long period of time in Canada (~1 year I believe), the only case I've heard of was done to change law stating that only man/woman couples could divorce. I'd like to know where you get your 'statistics' showing that homosexual marriages have fewer divorces.
finally, i do not believe that it is fair to equate the gay marriage controversy to the civil rights movement. the civil rights movement was to allow basic rights for all. more importantly, the civil rights movement was there to stop discrimination against people who could not control certain circumstances(ie, skin color). it is unfair to equate these two movements as, IMHO, homosexuals CAN control the circumstances. I believe that homosexuality is a CHOICE not an uncontrolable factor such as skin color, place of birth, etc.
You'd be wrong, homosexuality appears to be part genetic and part enviromental. Its also important to note that studies have shown other mammals also have a similar amount of homosexuality. I don't see how you can claim that some rams choose to be gay.
I can't agree with you more. I believe that marriage is an institution of religion, and that the term marriage should be applied to couples who are wed by an accepted religion (no scientology or cults, please).
So, who decides which religions qualify.
I would bet the identical arguments were used against interracial marriages also.
Those links are ancient, not the chipset and/or dealing with specific setups.
Intel chipsets have had their share of problems as well. here for example. Hell, early pentium CPUs had a division bug.
The bottom line is no matter your CPU when you spend $2 on your motherboard it will have problems. If you want to compare chipsets then you need to do so in the same price range for both processors.
I did technical support for one of the major wireless carriers and I can tell you phones often have poor reception indoors. We had multi-coloured maps which indicated outdoor/vehicle/indoor coverage.
One of the reasons I quit was dealing with unrealistic expectations. Customers would often live far from civilization and complain they had poor reception.

You'd think that they'd need to prove that you knew someone who didn't have a right to obtain a copy did so.
Its now back to the default "This domain has just been registered for one of our customers!"
I believe I've seen that happen to them before... not that I go there regularly!

Its not like there isn't such a thing as TabletPCs, or that they haven't existed for quite some time or anything.
Apple tries to sell an image rather than a product. For those of us who aren't hippies products will win every time.
I would imagine they're running specific demos that stress the system more than normal.
Its been my experience that ATI only really has driver issues with OpenGL, DirectX tends to be fine.
I've heard nVidia has the opposite problem but I don't own one personally so I can't comment.
I've known quite a few people, including myself who have made purchases with TD, the only complaint I've ever heard is problems with rebates.
While true, it doesn't mean that you ought to support them.
Oh, and when I say "they", I of course mean the subset of "us" that "we" elect to look out for their best interests.
I fixed it for you
Its a long slipperly slope, who gets to say what ought to be shown. If you don't want to see it, vote with your wallet and don't.
I partially agree however, many movies go overboard and many others have sex or violent scenes when it doesn't forward plot or character.

You'd think this could save people from the CRIA/RIAA.

Amongst 'non-geeks' if you ask them about how they access the net the reply usually involves mangling the OS's name.

Instead of making you wait when you open a PDF it loads crap on startup.
I wish PDF would just die. Nearly all PDFs are bloated resource pigs.

Obviously this is a hoax, objects can't be flat and 3D at the same time!
PLay a game while burning Mp3's... That will *kill* your single core.
That's completely wrong, I've played MMOs for years, all with sound off and winamp in the background.
