"translation" is often cited as a reason why american movies take so long to be shown in europe, and yet the UK requires no translation whatsoever and many people in the rest of europe are perfectly capable of understanding english, and when given the choice between "watch it now in english, watch it in 6 months time in your local language" will choose the english version.
As soon as the disc's out in its first region, all of the subs on that disc are available. For those not on the first disc, they're generally released in a timely fashion by individual volunteers (e.g., Open Subtitles) or groups (e.g., Addic7ted (TV sub group). If you're talking about TS/cams, my advice is to skip that trash and wait for a proper rip. You only have to do it once in your life, then the pipeline's nominally filled.
For most of my life, I've been getting increasingly resentful of these corporate pirates for stealing, hoarding, and even sometimes destroying human culture. They have no interest whatsoever in the "the Progress of Science and useful Arts," nor will they ever be satisfied with any "limited Time" regulating their monopolistic control over thoughts.
With the exception of some governments, NGOs, and a minority of intelligent artists, the public domain, as defined by law, is a thing of the past. My response to this government and corporations mutual disregard for the founders' more than generous monopoly terms, is to disregard those terms myself, with the maximum effect I can bring to bear. No useless letters to government prostitutes involved.
My uTorrent stats show 964GB transferred in the past ten days, and a 1:12.8 dl:ul ratio since install. I put as much as I can on properly stored archival DVDs, but I'm one person with limited resources. One advantage that we "little people" have over libraries and funded preservation/conservation efforts is not having to wait past death to make a copy; I have a copy a minute after an RSS feed update, and at least ten more public copies before I'm done with it. Hopefully some of my peers are doing the same. You know, I find it tragicomical how these industrial copy-Nazis and their apologists get so confused about who's greedy, freeloading, cheap, thieving, and who's really "entitled."
That all said, I'm not certain what I'm actually achieving in the end, but I do know that I'm motivated to try to improve things for maximum people, and the MAFIAA pirates' motive is amassing more corporate welfare; i.e., "transfer of wealth" at everyone else expense.
If I am on a jury and you are unable to enter your password, why should I refuse to convict you?
FTFY.
Why shouldn't you convict? Because it's reasonable that a person may forgot one's own password. Thus, there is reasonable doubt as to whether or not the person hauled before the court is actually guilty, provided the prosecution's case rests on data that's been encrypted... Data that's increasingly likely to be encrypted, in light of the increasingly egregious encroachments on privacy and liberty we've been experiencing "in the wake of 9/11."
Besides, if you really did forget your long passphrase, no time in jail will likely 'make you remember'. How do I know? Forgot my own not just once. Mostly after a mere two or three months of not actually using it. Your body memory of typing it in gets messed up. If you use it each day you have the illusion to never forget.
This happened to me after I misplaced my BlackBerry. I used up the maximum of ten (careful) attempts before the device/microSD were wiped. (I'm not complaining, however; those were the parameters I set... I just overestimated my own memory).
Do you really want the Venn diagram for our political representatives to include a circle that says "People Willing to Appear on a Reality Show"?
Well, the Venn diagram of people that watch garbage television shows probably shows little overlap with those interested in digging through the LoC/NARA.
Every single conversation, in person or over media (phone, email, etc) that any elected official has with anyone should be recorded and archived in the Library of Congress.
Did Glenn Greenwald show support for this? His beliefs (as described in Wikipedia's article and citations on him) aren't consistent with support of the death penalty.
States that don't kill their own citizens have lower crime rates than those that do. Further, trusting your government with the power to take your life is foolish, especially with the levels of government/police corruption we know exists.
1) The network name was, as listed in the fine article: "F--- All Jews and N----" (sic). That should silence you assholes posting like it's no big deal or something.
It's no big deal or something. Nope, it didn't silence this assh... hey! You're implying I'm an asshole? Somebody please call the coppers to stick their noses in here.
Bad move, Intel. I used to rely on an ice cream sandwich. Then Häagen-Dazs stopped making 'em and everything else in my life went to complete shit for about three months. Take it from someone who's been down that road: if you're going to rely on ice cream sandwich, do not commit unless you have control of the supply chain.

Can someone who is against gay marriage please explain their reasoning?
I have never heard any logical reason that explains how gay marriage would harm society.
jmorris42 has done a lot of exhaustive explaining here, but very little logical reasoning. I suspect jmorris42 "knows" it's harmful to society because he knows it in his gut.

I'd like to read more of your writing about aerospace engineering. Do you have any essays, etc. online?
The example would be more believable if the dispatcher's second monitor had FB open.
Agreed. Also, anyone else think this photo looks 'shopped?

Wrong.

Don't make it your SSID.
I wouldn't put any sign in my yard. That's tacky. My (arguably juvenile/crude) SSID is only tacky (IMO) if it's displayed in Comic Sans or some such.
I have a tip for you, though: If you wouldn't exclude it from your post, don't relegate it to the subject line.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Look at the username: "H3lldr0p?" I think H3lldr0p wants to dr0p America and its dwindling freedoms into H3ll.

I hope their new competition makes them take it bent over.
