  1. Re:Computer Shopper on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    I used to buy the UK equivalent of that mag, the first 10 or so pages were mostly content as was the last 1/5th of the mag. In between was a huge section of nothing but adds. So I'd break the spine, tear out the ad section and throw it away just after leaving the shop. They slimmed it down later, intermingled the ads and I stopped buying it :-)

  2. Re:Question.. on BBC Releases P2P TV Client Test · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The BBC is one of the few things Britain can really be proud of, and a lot of that's because it doesn't have advertising.

  3. Re:Stuck?? on Online Music Stores Compared · · Score: 1

    Many of the other systems don't provide MP3s! They use DRM'ed WMA, which can't be legally converted to another format.

  4. Re:File contents on New Dismissal Motion in File Sharing Case · · Score: 1

    Good idea!

  5. So not a Tekken fan then? on Team Ninja In-Depth · · Score: 1

    His top five hated games are all Tekken! http://teamninja.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3144194 Plonker.

  6. Re:Slick Move... on Apple to Refund iPod Levy for Canadian Customers · · Score: 1

    The deal Apple has wil be similar to real world distribution or retail deals. This is promotion for Apple, so the record companies will not pay for it.

  7. Re:Slick Move... on Apple to Refund iPod Levy for Canadian Customers · · Score: 1

    Yes, I understand that. But even Apple can't give away songs on iTunes without paying for them. They can forego their cut, but the record companies will still have to be paid.

  8. Re:Slick Move... on Apple to Refund iPod Levy for Canadian Customers · · Score: 1

    But most of the income to iTuens goes tp the labels, so even $30 spent there would gain Apple, what, $10? So they still lose $15.

  9. Re:Coldplay Tickets Are A Prize? on Apple's 500 Million Songs · · Score: 1

    Hmmm, ten iPods is probably enough to beat Coldplay to death with though...

  10. Re:Arguing against windmills on BSA Piracy Study Deeply Flawed · · Score: 1

    But illegally downloading a $500 dollar piece of software and using it doesn't necessarily cost the company anything. There are three options: 1 Buy 2 Download illegally 3 Don't get it at all Most people, if they can't do to 2 will go to 3 rather than 1.

  11. Re:Please tell me this, this is critical.. on A RAW repository, The Internet Archive and OpenRAW · · Score: 1

    Where can I get that FAQ? I've looked on Adobes site and all I can find is a list of camera's that CS2 can access Raw data from (including my 10D). I don't see the big deal about all this. How many people even use RAW mode, as opposed to JPEGS? And you get software with the camera (or can use photoshop) to get at the data, and it's not going to wear out is it?
