Viagra is patented. Is it priced so high no one can use it? Hugh Hefner (admittedly a rich fellow) calls it the world's best recreational drug. (Why he's not the spokesperson seems like the world's biggest missed marketing opportunity.)
No. It's priced to make money, sure, lots of money even, but people buy something because they feel it's more valuable than the money they paid for it. Granted, medical expenses are distorted by insurance, but the basic principle still shows through on some level.
I'd pay just about any price to solve my father's cardiac problems, and be happy doing so.
I disagree, because of HDMI. One cable with hi-res video and audio combined, that makes life easier for Joe Average. The price of those cables might be an issue, but maybe not, given the price of the sets.
If you write it yourself it's always open source to you, you always matain control, and you don't pay maintenence to anybody. So why is OSS better than in-house?
Many, many companies need software that doesn't provide a special competitive advantage, it just keeps them going. As such, it behooves them to share development costs. This can either be done via proprietary software or OSS; in-house means you foot the entire bill.
Would you rather pay someone to fix a few issues you have with OpenOffice.org, or write your own office suite from scratch?
the jaded, dissafected 'all this new music is crap' geneneration were able to download all this muisc for free, and then went out shockingly and bought the albums, because they were:...willing to "tip" good artists.
So the proto-chicken and the chicken are likely genetically compatible. That means that the proto-chickens and the chickens are actually the same species.
The internet is international. Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue would be.xxx in Iran. Whose.xxx do you use?
Even if voluntary,.xxx is a bad idea. Wife demands ISP-level xxx filter. Husband complies, secretly goes to.com porn sites. Who would register as xxx voluntarily, it would be bad for business.
The U.S. Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 requires courts computing attorneys' fees for "coupon" settlements to judge the value of the settlement based on the redeemed, rather than the face, value of the coupon. So things aren't quite as bad as they used to be. Credit where credit's due, thank the Republicans and the Bush administration for pushing this change.
Assuming you can fix the cold start problems of diesel and cold weather problems with biodiesel, then it would work for everyone.
Can't you use something akin to an engine block heater and warm the car before starting it? Granted, it makes for a slow startup.
Also, gasoline currently is formulated differently based on the time of year and the location. Perhaps a similar technique could be used with biofuels.
Just to follow on that, I can see why such sites don't want the domain even if it's voluntary. If it's easy to block, ISPs can block and wife or mother (sexist, maybe, but mostly true) of adult child may insist on blocking the household connection. Husband or adult child may not be admitting to surfing to those sites, and thus not object, but will end up going to the unblocked.coms. So it doesn't make business sense to use it.
Vote for a third party (any of them, though I typically prefer Libertarian and show the "Wasted Vote" school-of-thought people that third parties aren't the real waste - the big two are.
Yeah, I got a personal phone call from Hillary after I voted for Harry Browne!
As a teacher, you should do your homework and install proper filtering software on the schools computers. It's not rocket sience, nor is it very expensive.
Have you actually tried doing this?
I enabled IE's built-in content filtering. Occasionally it actually blocked a hardcore site.
We have a similar situation, although we use a Brita or Pur filter to clean the water, not reverse-osmosis. I can even tell when food has been cooked using tap water rather than from the pitcher.
Remember how the DMCA, SonnyBono-copyright-extension act, etc started in USA: as something Congress felt they were required to do, in order to have US law match treaties such as WIPO.
Actually, the DMCA started when the US pushed for the WIPO copyright treaty, then pushed for the DMCA on the grounds that US law had to match WIPO. A handy scheme to get around local objections.
When's the last time you heard someone quote from 1-3?
Now, when's the last time you heard someone quote from 4-6? "I find your lack of faith disturbing," for example, comes in handy many times.
The originals may have had cheesy dialog, but it was fun, playful dialog. The only time I can remember the prequel achieving anything like the same effect is "We came to rescue you." "Good job." in Ep 2.
The only reason I care about this shit at all is that I want blu-ray for data on my computer, so that I can do things like store an entire TV series on a single disc. I can fit about 24 or 25 episodes of the average anime series (for example) on a single-layer DVD, which isn't enough:P
Have you considered a 400 GB USB/Firewire hard drive instead?
The issue here isn't read speed. I believe the blue laser can read smaller pits, so you can have more data on a disc.
The multiple laser approach would be useful for reading game data, though. (I'm not sure it was multiple lasers, if I remember right they used prisms to split a single beam. You would need multiple readers though.)

Shouldn't that be a shuriken?

You have to admit Nomad was right about women, though.

That is not the definition of species.
Chickens, maybe.

It only took 1h33m on my pc
The sad thing is the first time I read this sentence, I interpreted this as some sort of 733t speech. "Lheem? What the heck is lheem?"

Frank Zappa must be spinning in his fucking grave!
On the plus side, we've hooked up a generator to him, and he's now providing enough clean, green energy to light 200 homes!

Why not? I've been screwing around with the idea of screwing around with multiple hot chicks since I can remember. Wish I could get a patent on that.
Now that's one case where I really wish I had prior art...
And don't get my started on his overuse of strings for everything...
