Australia has no "Fair Use Policy" laws, so far there has been no test case. This is the reason TiVO has not been introduced to Australia. It is illegal to record any TV show that is not being broadcast live to air. It is also illegal to rip cds to MP3. Apple have finally taken the chance, which is good to see. Hopefully none of the recording labels will launch a lawsuit.
It mentions lack of support on current DSL routers....DUH!!!
Did VCR's have DVD support before it was released? Did analogue TV's start shipping with digital tuners before Digital TV started broadcasting?
Mum and dad will not spend an extra $50 on a router because it supports IPv6, which we may need in "2 to 10 years". Even I would not spend the extra money unless the technology was on the horizon.
The infrastrucure roll out needs to begin before the products will hit consumer shelves.
Maybe Activision are smarter than they think. They know the only people to give out their credit card to view a trailer will be kids!
So if you put in your credit card details maybe it then denies access to the trailer.
Space travel is expensive. No space agency has all the money they need to accomplish their goals. We no longer have the public support we had in the 60's so private enterprise is required to help send us further. If the revenue from these tourists helps fund further space missions then it is justified.
At least Universal have said they will come to the party with online offerings. People want to be able to download movies. People WILL download movies. HBO can A)sit on their ass B) Take vigilante style tactics of poisoning downloads or C) Offer a viable online alternative to illegal downloads.
The music industry eventually woke up and now stores like iTunes is doing quite well, although the RIAA are still being pricks...
Hmm I wonder what a Windows Malware detector scan will reveal..

So are these DVDs Rip Once as well?
It will be interesting to see if people are able to rip them on their once only read cycle and then watch them as many times as they like.
I have heard that the orbit was changed not just so the Russians had easier access, but it was changed in such a way that it could not be used as a platform to go to the moon - its in the wrong orbit. I guess the US were scared the Russians would use it as a platform for a luna mission.
How about instead of a grammar checker we have a grammar teacher...
Others have already said we should be teaching better grammar in schools rather than using grammar checkers to check our work.
So lets make the grammar checker more like a teacher, when you check your work it asks you "Do you see what you've done wrong?" then lets you figure out what you need to change and explains why.
The target audience for the big games is largely computer enthusiasts, people with high spec machines who know how to play games. These are also people that are more likely to circumvent copy protections.
The target audience for the small games is more casual gamers, office workers with too much time, mum's and dad's that just use the PC here and there. These people are less likely to know how to get these games without paying and are not to fussed to shell out $10 to unlock a small shareware game.
I was thinking about the parallels between the war on terror and the war on spam.
Since spamming has come a long we have had to introduce new email securities that were otherwise not required. They have created a culture where people are suspicious when their inbox says "169 Unread Messages" and now any email from a bank is looked at with suspicious eyes.
Spammers have changed the face of the email world through their attacks.

Its the act of shifting an hour of daylight from 5am to 7pm that makes the day seem longer.
Ontario should "benefit" more form the daylight savings change. The further you are form the equator the more daylight savings helps.
Okay so guys with small penises buy big cars.... Finally they have made a car suitable for me!
Sure... Bruce Willis could do it! Though he may just drill into the station and leave a nuke.

Maybe his sentence will be to send out thousands of unsolicited emails apologies for all the SPAM he has sent.
Agreed. There are 2 ways to propel technology forward, war and consumer demand.

Time to buy shares in an airconditiong company...
He didn't clarify that 299 years of that was indexing all the Internet porn sites.

People by them when they are young and cute... then flush them down the toilet. Some just need to watch what they eat...

Sounds like the latest scientology publication... L. Ron Hubbard says he use to race rocket cars in a past life.

Maybe they will conduct scale model tests with Pavorati and spit balls.

How long will it be until broadboand modems are integrated into computer power supplies....
So does this get an 11 on the Mohs scale?

They brought the start of daylight savings forward in 2000 in Australia to give more daylight to the Olympics, I don't recall hearing of any problems.
