Take a generous helping of Jalapeno Jelly and apply liberally to your penis 3 times daily, If you're still worried about a little lump after a week, you should seek a psychiatrist for further advice.
I actually agree with that, sortof.
While it's a good point that the movies on most dvds get a chance to debut and make cash in theaters, you can't over look the fact that artists don't just sell CDs, but perform live concerts as well.
With regard to your habits with watching dvds, I find that I tend to have a similar pattern with my cd listening and dvd watching. One CD will last 6 listens before I get tired of it and get a different one. While I can listen to a part of a song and be satisfied and stop, a dvd requires a committal of at least 2 hours for most. This is of course dependant on the dvd itself.
Also, CDs generally last less than an hour each, which means it would require 2 or 3 listens to get the same length of entertainment, not to say that you can't have a dvd playing as background noise (some even have the soundtracks on the disks themselves), so yes, I think that CDs are still way too expensive.
I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who feel the way you do.
I don't.
Distributing the cost across the time I spend enjoying a given medium, DVDs are still worth way more.
e.g. I have seen each of the back to the future movies on the order of a dozen times each, including one crazy night where we watched all three and all cut scenes and special features in one shot.
I usually end up putting CDs on the bottom of a pile after one or two run throughs.
To each his own.
This problem would be resolved if they weren't charging the same price for a CD as a DVD Video.
A friend of mine made a fake death metal band on a dare and has sold out on CDs at $3 a piece, burnt
on his own personal machine.
Sucks to be the people who can't rip the world off anymore.
Life likes to work that way.
"But when the US government does something, almost nobody says a word."
I disagree, but that's probably due to living in more liberal areas of the US most of the time. When the US government decides to do something, there's just as much noise as if another country's government does.
It's more about the excitement of conspiracy theory. The problem is that because the US government does so much that groups of people in this country disagree with (you could say that for every action the government takes, a group of people exist that disagree with it) that a lot of the important issues get swamped by the BS media coverage the other things get.
To say that nobody says a word is very far from the truth.
Aren't the bumpers in cars made out of styrofoam?
And would they get heated enough during operation to allow for their decomposition?
So hypothetically, if these bacteria get out, the world will be slightly less safe for drivers everywhere.
Is it just me or did he drop SJ like a bad habit.
I felt the series was amazing, and am looking forward to the day he brings it to some level of closure...
Have you ever had a rigid shin guard strapped to your leg. If you have, you realize that after a short time, it starts to abraid your leg, because while your shin bone itself is not stretching and deforming, the skin around it is constantly moving. It's particularly obvious in the old rollerblades with the plastic tops that would strap over your shins. If the material can flow some, that means that not only will it be a close to perfect fit, but if it happens to shift off of your leg because you've jogged it out of place, it will re-form to the contours of your body and CONTINUE to be a perfect fit.
The standing theory on this topic is referred to as John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory. For those interested, you may see it here.

Well we know technology is getting more and more reliable If you look at the 'new' 160-500GB drives, how many have survived their 3 year test runs. I've found that the finer you get, the better storage you have for a shorter time. I'm currently using 'old' 80GB drives because they seem much more stable in the 3 year timescale than the nextgens 10x their size. I think google would flip all over the concept of tons of cheap space, even if it costs a few backups in the long run. Archiving the internet anyone?
Green light, not blue.
Still, you should be able to see the beams in mid air assuming there's enough power to them... I don't know how this compares to a standard green laser pointer.
You, sir, should lay off the sauce.
Try gambling some, takes the stress out of working on the computer all the time.
See if all those hours on solitaire actually paid off.
This is the ONLY reason I'm still using IE...That and I'm currently not a fan of tabbed browsing. CTRL+N in IE opens a new window with, not just the current page, but the whole HISTORY from the previous window. I find that that's one of the most useful features of IE.
You would allow them to do that off a guarentee.
That's pretty trusting of you.
I'm not sure how valid it is to go by that, considering that non-fiction works are no longer fact checked,
Banks are putting rfid tags into credit/atm cards and allowing unsigned purchases under a certain amount,
AND a number of companies have been busted for patent infringements recently.
It sounds to me like a lot of the things you used to be able to trust are turning around and kicking people in the head.
I think the definitive difference between rockets and airplanes that would make this a mainstream interest is the several meter flame of hot gas spraying out the backside to keep it humming.
Frankly, I'm sure that everyone has an intrinsic interest in seeing people steering giant fireworks to compete in a race.
Even George Carlin would probably flip over it. Much better explosions when someone goofs up than even the Indy 500.
How many people try to watch a launch of one of Nasa's ships?
Just for clarification, McDonalds obesity is caused by a virus, Burger King is from the Burguococcus bacteria. Apparently, enough wasabi on your burger king burgers, and you're less likely to develop the obesity you would from the same treatment on a mcdonalds burger...
Ever wonder why you never see road kill near either establishment?
You do realize that with the 45nm chips, they could produce the same old hardware at half the size and double the speed without any change in pin layouts.
granted, I think it's a wasted opportunity, but it still would be marketable with today's current mboards.
Which is why I'm saying that only 32 errors on a production chip of that scale is pretty impressive.
At the scale that the transistors are at now, parallel wire inductance and capacitance is significant. It can lead to all sorts of unpleasant surprizes.
Logical errors are to be expected, considering that humans are flawed logical beasts. Most of us aren't good at straight logic, and those who are were weeding themselves out of the social side of society 20+ years ago.
On a side note, with everyone talking about flaws in processors, I'm amazed no one has mentioned freakazoid yet!!!!

That's the best I can do atm.

They're not ignoring repeats. Maybe someone who really didn't like the net said it was too expensive AND he didn't have a use for it.
You could get an awesome media center for 2246. As a laptop.
You even get enough left over for extra laptop batteries and one of those hats that holds beer or soda cans.
