With all the christian prayer that'll be going on at the inauguration, would this count as staff-sponsored captive-audience prayer in public school? Would be interesting to see in court;)
You're missing the point though. The video store can lower their price to $0.01 and still make a profit.
The guy who made the video had to carry all of the expense of making it in the first place. He didn't magically pull the video out of his ass and start selling it for some arbitrary amount of money. He deserves to be compensated for all the work he did to make it. And he can't do that when scumbags can take his end product, copy it, and sell it for half the price. [Emphasis added]
Strawman. Nobody's arguing that they should be able to copy it. But if you purchase ONE copy, you can rent that ONE copy out. When you get it back, you can rent it out again. Same for however many copies you purchased. If the video store wants to be able to simultaneously rent out 10 copies, they have to purchase 10 copies. Sure, having customers who have rights might cut into profits. But regardless of how big or small your business is, deal with it.

So why should people buy my video at $80 if they can get it for next to nothing on the web and most likely just burn their own copy? That's First-Sale Doctrine and it can also suck for the little guy. Oh poor you. Those pesky "rights" that people have are cutting into your profits. As long as they're only renting it out to one person at a time (if they bought one copy), deal with it. Maybe rent it out yourself for less. If people "just burn their own copy" then that's illegal. But Mr. AC VideoSeller can't take away my fucking rights because he thinks i MIGHT break the law.
When someone abuses the judicial system to fight against "the viewpoint", sure we consider it a good thing when they're punished for abusing the judicial system. Or should we just wish him the best of luck trying to take away our rights? Stop being a passively aggressive pacifist.
Is the Super Bowl pay per view (I'm in Europe and don't know what the TV arrangements are? If not what's being "stolen" from the NFL? Assuming no admission is being charged, how is having 100 people watch on one big screen any different from having 10 people watch on 10 smaller screen? They all see the ads and the sponsors.

There, now my brain isn't stuck on a parsing error.
eh, there's so many of us that i've never even been able to get a domain of my name. but if you want to pick a random person with my name to stalk, i'm sure he'll (or i'll) feel special.:P
Dynamic pages with the server actually doing something? Or just storing a handful of static html and a few megs of jpg files in ram and serving them out? Because any computer with an ethernet connection can do the latter. But if by "internet server", you mean dynamic database-driven pages with some heavy server-side stuff going on, I'm impressed.
FF3 beta does. But you're right, no browser is 100% bug-free. It's not like FF and Opera are 100% compliant browsers, they're just a lot better than IE. And you can't exactly have a court ruling saying that IE has to be "at least as compliant as Opera". It's not something that can be measured, except artificially by things like Acid2 and "how many css selectors does this browser understand". But then you still get things like float bugs.
The only things that pisses me off about iTunes is that newer versions sort numbers after "Z" instead of before "A". Does anybody know why they changed that? 311 shouldn't be the last artist on my list. I ended up switching back to v7.2.

Text messaging costs as much as it does purely to rip people off.

The size limit is pathetic too

then again I'm quite a verbose person.
I didn't notice ;)
Almost, just no foam. It got discontinued in January of this year.

Are you on any private trackers? What and waffles have just about everything.
Their "Take Your Time" album is on what.cd as V0 MP3.

When GP said "uploading" he meant "making available for download". Stop being a pedantic retard.
That's the same as 0.02 cents, right?
You're both wrong. They're based in the Cayman Islands.

Just hope she doesn't use the same reasoning when she reaches for the strap-on.
All in favor?
I've personally had a better (read: flawless) experience with adblock (not adblock plus) combined with filterset.g.
And I'm truely shocked that they think their service is superior to a 3rd party equivalent. What next, Mozilla saying firefox is better than opera? ;)
