I do believe that the discussion is in regards to the physical manner of distribution, not the format *on* the media itself.. (My apologies is I missed a sarcasm flag there AC)
if they can 'morph' a polygon into a circle and vice versa, then can't they figure the size of the polygon precisely and use it to define the size of the circle and say that Pi is a finite number?
I'll freely admit I'm doing good to count to 21 without slipping off my boots and unzipping my jeans, but...
... and they got the balls to do this why?
Because they've seen how successful the *IAA has been with their intimidation tactics.
Same reason the guitar tabs sites have been getting tons of shit from the sheet music vultures and the people offering 'free guitar lessons' have been having their videos pulled off of sites like Youtube.

I own a nice iMac, have bootcamp installed, bought a copy of XP so I could do Windows stuff on it, so I can't rightfully be called a 'Mac fanboy', though I will say I like their products.
I, however, have my doubts about how successful this product will be due to the limitations imposed on it by AT&T's network speed, Apple's refusal to add API hooks ( and by shooting their own developers by throwing everyone a bone by insisting that AJAX is the way to get your product/software on the machine ).
I have a feeling it'll be a PS3 thing. There'll be a huge fuss when it's released, but it'll peter out once the 'shiney' is gone and people realise that, despite the great interface, it doesn't really offer that much of an advantage in usability. Yahoo Mail? YouTube?
Uh, thanks, but I'll skip paying $600 for the dubious privilege of watching really badly made crap over a slow connection.
No one of any import has ever bothered to stand up to the news agencies there up till now.
No one wants to risk having access to all those Chinese revenues cut off.
Seems simple logic to me.
Give a bully what he demands often enough and they begin to see it as their right.

That would be just north of Jesusland.
From what I understand it sharply reduces the number of foreskin cancer cases as well.

Kearning or no, the Wired logo still makes my eyes bleed.
Fired? No.
They should have one of those tags shoved so far up thier wazoo that it's never going to come out then dropped into the same location.
My intent wasn't to fatally shoot him. It was to put a bullet in the wall directly behind him. Remind me not to hire you as my lawyer.
Nah. The RIAA'll just refile with his first name spelled right and nail him in the second round.
