it's actually not an economic reason, the market doesn't want regions. It's an effort to fight natural market pressure, proved by all the region bypass info out there
my Linux boxes are of course regionless DVD players 8D I'll see about getting conversion info for that Sony DVD-339T. Most of the web pages on that will be Taiwanese and various other SE asian languages.
and you don't know the history of Scientology on Slashdot jokes. The first rule of Scientology on Slashdot jokes is, we don't joke about Scientology on Slashdot.
but we've all had *some* interaction with them, our money to their pocket.
Came back from SE asia with this nifty Sony DVD/VCD/MP3 payer my wife had bought to watch mainly VCD and some DVD over there, but she was very disappointed it couldn't play most U.S. DVD. (though the DVD from a "dollar store" here were fine). DVD regions just being the cartel at work to make our electronics less useful and more expensive
hey, you forgot the "lining the pockets of scum" argument, that some feel it's not immoral to steal from an immoral bribing stealing monopolist two-legged sack of human offal.
and the spammers know it too. No more 'hot young co-eds crave your spunk' and 'naughty schoolgirls need your discipline', but "horny housewives need satisfaction" and "needy mature office ladies", plus medication adverts for all manner of ailments of the aging. The median age for geeks is on the rise!
you misunderstand Grace's intent and purpose with COBOL. It was to allow (intelligent) non-programmers to be able to follow what was happening, Grace was more tuned in to business process, communication and management than your typical geek whiz-boy. That is one of the reasons COBOL has endured in the corporate realm.
won't argue you'll won't get air conditioning, but that cooling of air as it decompresses in fact hinders the efficiency of the process and lowers useful energy yield. won't argue the car won't roll for awhile either, just that it's a HUGE waste of energy (back to my SCUBA tank example, it takes 5.5HP for over 20 minutes to fill those tanks to get 4 HP for less than seven minutes.
that would have been a better ending to the story, "they then went back to the original documents in cardboard boxes, but alas their auditing firm used ex-Arthur Andersen employees and they had all been shredded."
typical industrial air compression gives 10-15% yield, in other words 7x to 10x the energy in compared to work you get back. Winding a spring or using air is a crummy, lossy way to store energy. An 80L SCUBA tank can provide 4 HP for not quite seven minutes, end of story.
Companies are founded using this scam, sometimes unknowingly, to get investors.
need for a script that loads any and all keywords for all manner of crimes, from stealing office supplies to barbecuing endangered species to genocide. Then get say 25% of the populace to run it, either unknowingly by internet worm or overt hip fad. result: web searches then meaningless as evidence.
except with windows I'm being forced to spend a few hundred bucks to upgrade to Vista (either now or later), plus another thousand on hardware capable of running the Vista in business context, plus maybe some retraining
cheaper than mideast oil, we've going to spend over a trillion USD on Iraq (never mind whether we really *needed* to do that, or whether it makes our oil supply in fact any safer, those in power thought we did and so we did and so we will pay)
a large aircraft's controls can be bypassed *outside* the cockpit, for example, the pumps and controls for pumps that run the hydraulics aren't located there. You've already put your mind in a box, and it is therefore of no use discussing what might be done inside the cockpit.
Plenty of automotive security systems are defeated by electronic/electrical/rf means, not hammers. Aircraft system allowing remote rf control would also have means in that realm of defeating.
it is based on the amount and rate of usage of coal.
nevermind oil, that's just a convenient source of hydrocarbons of certain lengths. we can make all that stuff by breaking up really long chains that are in coal (technology has existed for decades). e.g. you want natural gas, cut to average one chained carbon lengths, want gasoline cut to average eight, etc.
bad news for you, we have fossil fuel for centuries. that we're running out was a lie in the 70's and a lie now. and any average length hydrocarbon mix can be made from coal: diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel, natural gas
yes. The analogy holds, access control systems can be defeated by a sufficiently motivated and intelligent person.
the only logical fallacy is yours, assuming a system could be built that can't be defeated. History shows your point of view to be very ignorant of reality indeed.
till unconscious, hah. even without bats the next deranged whackjob to attempt hijack of a u.s. plane will probably be beaten to death pulped beyond identification by any visual means.

that's still not quite reduced to Yakov Smirnoff Normal Form (YSNF): in soviet Russia, chicks bring millions over millions and screw for free YOU

come to think of it, screw the millions over millions, just bring on the chicks for free

yeah, we have that production server & desktop vs. "free/bleeding edge/risky where we develop everything" version in the Ubuntu world, too
we call that one Debian
slight correction, after all these years and years of eternity, no doubt the turtle is swimming through elephant poop

some bits of nonsense there, like having to disconnect from 4 to be on 6, a site could be connected to both
