Exactly. HBO is only wasting their bandwidth... People who download stuff from bittorrent don't expect it instantenously, so what if there's a slight delay - it's not stopping people from actually downloading the file, and all the user has to do is just minimize his client of choice and forget about it until the file is finished downloading.
To me this reaction seems like lifting your fist at someone, and shaking it while spewing "I'm gonna get you" through clenched teeth, without really knowing how you're gonna get them.
Hell, now that these things happen for console games, we might even see stuff like that on TV. A tournament for Tribes, UT or CS would never get televised, but your average Joe actually knows what Halo is, and therefore if he saw a Halo tournament on TV he wouldn't be as confused as he would be if it was a CS tournament.
I've seen people offering lessons in CS before, but now it's just going "mainstream" - into the console market.
Tabbed browsing is just one feature that FF has. It's not the only thing that's good about it... take the extension manager - it's better than IE's "let's just let anything slap stuff on here" attitude.
Problem is, the casual user probably won't be bothered to learn how to use extensions, and Adblock will be more of a problem than a useful tool for them. That's why that user will stick with IE.
"Conn, sonar! We have an unidentified contact, bearing three-five-niner, range unknown!"
"What the hell? That sounds really weird... I never heard anything that quiet, but yet surely, there's something th---"
"DARTS IN THE WATER! Incoming darts!"
Next day: An American Sub Sunk During Routine Exercises
The DoD still hasn't released any detailes about the incident, although they have confirmed that a Seawolf class submarine took a hit from an unknown weapon during a routince training exercise in the northern part of the Atlantic. It is speculated that the submarine was wrongly identified as a terrorist vessel by a squadron of the Dolphin Anti-Terrorist Task force. The Departament of Defense refused to comment.
