I'm sorry, but Heavy Metal's plot is that a guy saves a girl in a few different dimensions and gets sexual favors as a result. Oh, and the dimensional thing was caused by this evil orb. That might qualify for a porno, but not for a Hollywood movie.
Thanks for the spoiler alert. I was going to go see that soon but now you've ruined it.
...the fact that they've done damage to all those websites of businesses...im sure potential customers aren't at all put off seeing that domain seizure image.
If you're running your business' web presence through freeDNS, you have bigger issues than this my friend.
Show me a tablet with a letter-sized screen for reading papers or books formatted for that size without having to pan or zoom (14" diagonal), one that can have user content (in particular, pdf's) uploaded to it easily, and one that can *ACTUALLY* be used in a modestly interactive way (such as book reading) for more than a few hours at a time without having to be plugged in (I've heard some of the claims about iPad battery life being really good, but I haven't found them to be true in my experience with the unit).
Have you given the Kindle DX a try? It sounds like it has the capabilities and form factor that you are looking for.
If I paid $1000 for rent this past month, who owns the house I live in? THE LANDLORD. I still can't do major changes to the house or property, can't burn it down, can't use it as security for a loan... and I have to abide by all the terms I agreed to in the lease, which is a legally-binding contract just like the software license you agreed to. You did read it, didn't you?
Interesting analogy. To make it a bit more correct though, we need to add the following things.
There are only two rental complexes in the entire city.
You have to pay two month's rent in advance, non-refundable, before you can see the lease agreement.
The Landlord can change the lease agreement at any time that he choses. If you don't like the change you can feel free to move out.
The Landlord of the other rental complex uses the same lease agreement as yours
One day you may come home to find that your two bedroom apartment is now just a one bedroom apartment. The landlord has walled off the second one to use as a storage area.
Sony claims the hacks will eat into game sales for the 41 million PS3 units sold.
Dear Sony,
You know what will really cut into sales? Being total douchebags towards your customers. That's what is really going to cut into sales.

"There are two problems with the healthcare reform law," said Jonathan Gluck, a senior executive at HPN. "We pay for quantity, not quality. The more services provided, the more the provider gets paid."
So it sounds like this is saying that publishers can have two buttons. But if one of those is marked "Buy Here at an inflated price and Apple gets 30%" and the other is marked "Buy at a discount on our website", I just don't see Apple approving that. And even if that exact wording isn't used, customers will quickly come to understand what the two buttons mean. So the next logical step is that Apple will banish the second button.
Apple has already demonstrated how they will handle that with the Mac App store. They will simply require that the "in-app" price be the same as the web price. Since Apple holds the purse strings for the app authors, they will recover any penalties for violating this by withholding payment up front.
And people wonder why I don't do business with Apple.
public owns all the roads, and they have the right to travel on them HOWEVER they like. no road operator can decide who can travel on the road, and who cannot, and who will pay how much, separately from their vehicle classification.
Then how come some cities are charging extra for SUVs to drive on their streets?
This is just trying to slow the cat down temporary for as long as possible and shoot the guy who let it out of the bag.
No, it's to show the next guy that considers letting a cat out of the bag how bad a corporation with a large legal team can make his life if he dares cross them.
Since the premise is no longer true it is arguable that the conclusion derived from the premise is thus no longer valid.
It is equally arguable that the conclusion derived from the premise remains valid. In fact, if the premise is false, then no conclusion can be drawn at all.
Here is a link to to an introduction to the Cassandra database system. One thing to realize is that Cassandra is one of the new "noSQL" DBMS. These operate very differently than an RDBMS such as Oracle or DB2.
What happened to P2P?
The job bittorrent was made for, seems to have been replaced by a bunch of rubbishy web-based services.
Because P2P only works in a subset of the use-cases that megaupload satisfies. Perhaps I need to get a larger file to a client and don't want to set up an FTP site, etc. Megaupload already provides the exact service that I need.
It's just a good thing for him that he pulled this stunt in the new Las Vegas. If you want to find someone who tried something like this 30 years ago in the old Las Vegas, just take a shovel and drive about 20 miles out into the desert. The old saying was that what happened in Vegas got buried in Vegas.

I would have the money, and get out of my Nokia stock before it tanks.
It's already too late for that.

Wait, what? Isn't the onus already on the copyright holder to prove infringement?

The second is that we can't count to two.

Maybe instead you could have used the money you spent on the redesign to hire some editors that, you know, edit? Just sayin'
Unless this guy has some evidence to show that Microsoft are using anti-competitive strategies to maintain their marketshare, ...
Well it wouldn't be the first time now would it?
If all of the above are attacks then what do you call it when one person physically assaults another person?
Battery.

if amazon don't reduce it then they've decided a higher price will mean higher revenue and the devs get more.
Or it hits the market at 350% of what you think it will reasonably sell for and you end up making 5% of the sales you had expected.
This system does not seem to be a well-oiled machine:
Not well oiled, just well greased.
Shoot first.
Ah, the Han Solo defense. Good strategy.
