What's a lot rarer is companies that do internet access without line rental and calls. I don't see why I should pay to have my phone calls converted to analogue several miles away when I have the technology to do that right here.
1) When the problem occurs all hard drive operations stop until the OS times out the ATA command - typically 30 seconds. This results in the computer freezing for 30 seconds.
If the OS freezes the computer for hard drive accesses then we need new OS designers
It cant fail much more miserably than the cinema experience you just described. The 8 trailers almost always give the impression that Hollywood doesn't know its audience anymore.
PS. You forgot the 4 anti-piracy campaigns dotted about at random points in the trailers
No one cares. WMP plays it, iTunes plays it, Rhythmbox plays it, etc. who cares that the ORIGINAL VERSION of the software (which no one uses) was closed source, it's simply irrelevant.
One thing I don't really understand (I'm European) is how religious fundamentalism is compatible with a "small government" party. A lot of the things linked with religious fundamentalism in the US (such as tighter regulation of media so less offensive content is broadcast and some of the ideas about homosexuality) require a large amount of government intervention into people's lives. The two ideas seem to be fundamentally opposite.
Why bother. Grabbing and storing the raw pixel data isn't all that interesting not that it's possible to get the compressed data off the disc. I don't event think there's a common storage solution that can operate at the speed used by HDMI.
It is not the consumer's job to check that the service offered by a company makes sense for that company's finances. The company employs managers and directors to do that. If a company is advertising unlimited bandwidth then it is reasonable for the consumer to assume that the company intends to provide it. It is also not unreasonable to expect the company to be punished if their claim was actually false advertising.
Many aspects of English are fairly wiki-like. For example many dictionaries are compiled by looking at which words are used often in print or other media, so the dictionary definition is usually quite close to how the word is actually being used.

Anything that means that Cliff Richard and Paul McCartney don't have to release more christmas songs to get money should be welcomed.
Why do I have to buy movies again if I already own the DVD ? What is it exactly that I'm buying when I purchase a DVD or CD ?
Fuck all.

Don't know if you meant the haircare product but you've just put a really bad song in my head.
And funkatron's law tell us that as problems size increases you'll move into management and give the problem to someone else.

I doubt that anything like this will work now though, they should have done this in 1997. It's pretty hard to compete with free.
The traditional way to compete with free has been better. They are moving in this direction slowly (Amazon mp3 etc.).
Does anyone even bother to write viruses anymore? I got the impression that phishing and possibly trojans were far more effective and profitable.
Ethics is fucked! Move the data how you want.

Surely if you release 'hacked' firmwares making one to disable this mechanism on the drive isn't too difficult.
Unfortunately the only episode on the official South Park site is called Sorry England and the animation is worse than usual.
Don't we have better things to burn power and CPU cycles on?
I only like two Chaplin films and they both have sound. Still I guess that means I'm not technically a fan.

Well that looks like a regular language so it should be possible, no idea how to do it tho.

No, really, I'd love to know why.
I think the standard geek answer should suffice here: Because!!
Now they need to crack HDCP.

I don't think anyone ever wants to disable numlock so why have a button for it?
Fine here.
I'm a man, do you want to give me $700 billion?

Tiscali don't need to put a limit in the small print. Their network can barely stream video properly so hitting any limit is close to impossible.
