I'm still waiting for the human powered generator to keep the computer running. If you stop pedaling or not doing it fast enough a little alarm goes off to tell you you have limited time to shut down or speed up.
It could be construed that way I guess. If it's bandwidth, it could also be that the PS3 is the only system that currently allows 1080p streaming, but whatever way you try to argue it you're picking nits. If it's bandwidth, it would mean more of their attention would be concerned with providing PS3 users the experience they enjoy currently. If it's stream count, it would mean the same thing really. Either way, Netflix's total output is higher when talking about PS3 clients than any other platform.
Jack Tretton, the CEO for Sony Computer Entertainment America announced at Sony's E3 press conference that the PS3 accounts for 30% of all Netflix streaming – the highest among all Netflix streaming devices. A report issued last month from Sandvine indicated that the Microsoft Xbox 360 made up 25% of all Netflix traffic.
And I keep removing it after my workplace keeps installing it! I'm going to have to do what I did with the policies and create a restricted folder with the same name to cause it to error out on install.
According to the Sony E3 conference, the PS3 was the most used Netflix streaming device (According to Netflix, 30% I believe, but more than any other device.)
Estimates consistently show about 30% of all health care spending goes into the billing system. I've heard horror stories about how the average doctor may have to deal with over 100 different insurance companies each of which has it's own long forms that need to be filled out exactly correctly.
I think 100 might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I'm sure it's exacerbated by the fact that no insurance company can sell policies across state lines. If that restriction was removed, you'd likely be talking about 4-5 parent companies consolidating all that paperwork to far fewer.
To be fair, there's a good percentage of mechanical work that's done in metric. (My brother works mainly in CNC and machining processes) Also, automobiles are being pretty much forced into supporting metric by imports. It's happening on the industrial level through attrition, but the one place I don't see change anytime soon is distance measurements. Nobody even considers meters when thinking about it. I've noticed gaming actually pushes metric (distances measured in meters for ease really) and somehow people have no problem getting the ribbons/medals in MAG for sniping people from 120m. Nobody complains that it's not 130 yards that I've heard.
To not have federal level health care is the most stupid and expensive way to have healthcare.
I'm not sure I understand why the federal government is more efficient and/or intelligent than any other method... What makes the federal government more capable/cheaper/efficient than the ability for providers to compete and offer their insurance to anyone across the country instead of being limited by state?
Same here. I stream music while at work and I regularly push up to and over 4G/month. I could accept 5G/month for $30 (because that's what I pay for "unlimited" now) but there's no way I'm paying another $20/month to continue what I do today.
Exactly... it's not like you need to buy another license to copy your OS. The only issue of course is binding a network card to that VM if they are doing any low level hardware stuff.
It's not about Piracy. It's about Secondary Sales. Once your retail box has been used, you cannot sell it. If you buy a car and use it, there's nothing stopping you from selling it because you own it. In Software, you don't own it because of an artificial restriction on Capitalism by the government making it not true Capitalism.
One could argue that true Capitalism allows me to sell to you a product I bought from someone else at whatever cost I see fit. If I buy a hose from the hardware store, use it once and sell it in a garage sale, that's capitalism. I paid a fair wage for a service that I needed and I sold that product when I was finished with it. If I finish with my Windows disks and decide that I can sell it to you and recoup my original investment then I live in a free capitalist society. The only difference here is that I still maintain a copy of said good, meaning that the actual residual value of that good continues to shrink toward the $0 mark.
Government protection allowed them to sell easily replicable goods at a price set by themselves. Sure, there was some backroom deals with OEMs, but the product they were selling was an artificially protected good and required that the OEM purchase a license for each copy which defies true capitalism.
A truly capitalist society continues to attempt to produce a demanded good cheaper than their competition. If you make walking sticks and sell them for $50, I should be able to make a walking stick and sell it for $25 if I can afford to do so. With limitations on copyright, that throws a government wrench in the milling machine of your competition forcing them to stop producing a product cheaper than you can merely to protect your market. The software industry in it's current state defies capitalism.
If Microsoft had no legal backing for forcing you to license software then you could sell your copy of Windows after you were done with it and/or transfer it to another PC. Since it's product is virtual, easily replicable, and easily transferable, they need government protection in order to continue to do business they way that they are. In most ways, it's precisely the same protection given to the _IAAs.

The world at your finger tips and you're too stupid and lazy to use it.
Prove it!

Wow, totally missed that in my post. Thanks!
To be fair, it's only two pages in the non-print version. It's not like some of the horrid 15 page ad farms.

30% of all Netflix users use a PS3 for streaming (according to Jack Tretton [who cited Netflix] at the Sony E3 conference.)

How is that any different?

Why did putting ':' on your bash shell output '- Dan'? Seems like an odd alias. ;)
You forgot to include Spike... I eventually see those three forming some kind of three way love child.
Said "disqualification" is artificial. You seem to be overlooking this part keeping yourself in the magic land of intellectual property.

It shows you who wears the pants in that relationship.
