I didn't hate The Polar Express, but it wasn't exactly very memorable.
The simulated Jeff Bridges in Tron: Legacy is pretty decent, though they should have put a little more work into getting his mouth to move naturally when speaking. Any single frame looks just like Jeff Bridges sure, but when it's all put together the effect is still a little stiff.
Sugar has a big effect on your body. Thankfully these pills are apparently completely inert rather than sugar.
Eating sugar pretty much only has negative side effects on your health. It is an inflammatory substance for one, and it also suppresses your immune system. It might make you feel good in the very short term, but aside from the initial sweetness and physiological rush you get, there's nothing good about it.
Though, homeopathy aside, you do have to wonder if whatever substance they had in that placebo was actually beneficial for IBS sufferers. Even though it was made of "inert" substances, isn't fiber also inert and beneficial for IBS sufferers? Meh. I'd like to see the test run again with migraine sufferers, or something else likely to be unaffected by putting substances through your bowel.
In that case everything is still legal. The work conditions are legal in China, and the iPhones are legal in the US.
In case you didn't realise, a lot of people who use The Pirate Bay are doing so in countries where breaking copyright is *gasp* illegal! It doesn't matter if it's legal server-side if what the client is doing is illegal. That's still an illegal transaction, and by allowing clients from the US, TPB are just bringing this kind of thing on their own heads. I have no sympathy for them.
And as well as being a demo, it has to be a representative demo. I was quite excited about Brutal Legend, but when I played the demo it didn't seem that special. I waited until it was around half of the retail price before buying it.
Then I found out that it was actually an open world sandbox style game, and the demo only included a linear section that was meant as a kind of tutorial. I was annoyed that I hadn't just bought the game sooner, it was well worth full price.
if I'm willing to pay $5 but not $20, I probably don't want to play that game very much, so maybe I'm not as excited about it after I play it and maybe I drive down the average appreciation of the game.'
Bullshit. You're obviously not very excited about it before you play it, but your level of excitement after playing is entirely dependent on the game itself. I bought Brutal Legend cheap and I loved it. I actually possibly appreciated it more because I'd got it at a great price.
Then you could just chain them together with eSATA or a USB hub, etc.
Why 100GB anyway? I have 60GB of legally bought music, which would be well over 100GB if it was stored in lossless quality. Now imagine I wanted to rip all my DVDs, blu-rays and games.. I'd need several TB of space.
Well, I'd expect Mastercard should reasonably be expected to stop payments from countries where such things are illegal, like the US. Taken to extremes, Would you expect them to have anything to do with a child porn site just because it's legal in the country the servers are in? I don't think they'd want to associate themselves at all.
And actually, while Googling who the current hosts for TPB are, it appears they also offer a "completely uncensored" image hosting service. This is something that not many would approve of outside of a small number of countries and (IMO) overly idealistic anti-censorship groups.
I think the original had a number in his name too though. I can't however remember, nor do I really care enough to research it. If he wants to waste his life like this, let him:)
I thought you were quoting from the rules of this prize giving malarkey. I'm not American just in case you think I should have learned this stuff in school.
Slashdot Mirror
*whoosh*
Also, you wanted "it's".
Yeah we do this on self checkouts here. It seems obvious that it's the most efficient method.
They also used it for young Jeff at the start of the movie, and in the flashbacks..
I'm guessing Chapter 1:

Yep, most people don't drink enough water.

But PC gaming sector is mainly Farmville anyway
FTFY :)
Then they killed off rentals. Given that that happened even here in Belgium last year, I suspect that's the case in most of the world by now.
Why would you assume that?
I started a LoveFilm subscription recently, mostly for the unlimited movie streaming to PS3, but I also can rent games through it. I'm in the UK.

Sure, but you'll have to bring your own helmet.
When did search engines become illegal in the US?
Hmm, let me fix that for you:
When did search engines designed and even named explicitly as one for the purposes of piracy become illegal in the US?
The answer is: that type of search engine has technically been illegal in the US since long before the internet was invented.
Ah, I always assumed it was just a pirate operation trying to take advantage of idiots. They underpriced themselves!

Ah, I thought it was more like those party whistles you get that just make an extremely loud and annoying sound when you blow hard enough.
I generally dislike brass instruments, outside of a full ochestra anyway. I much prefer the vibrations of a nice reed.

The patent office also have the power to do it, and are a lot less capable of screwing you over.
What if the solution to the problem has no direct business application?
Then he'd have won, as he only created the accounts to discredit the original. And apparently to provide an outlet for his NPD.
I don't actually see the problem with any of that anyway. No company should openly support groups that are breaking the law.
Since when did people pay to infringe copyright? I thought the whole point was that you get the stuff for free anyway.
You must be new here*. There have been plenty of articles and discussion on Net Neutrality here in the last few years.
*this is of course confirmed by your ID. Damn near 2000000 users now. I wonder how many of those have died, or at least got bored and left.
