alright, after reading the same stuff about movie theatres for the two hundredth time in a row I have to say KNOCK IT OFF!!!
everyone knows how horrible the movie experience in movie theatres is...
it's expensive, the floor is sticky, rude employees, loud people, loud babys etc
it is simply not necessary that EACH AND EVERY ONE of you posts these same points
everyone in the world knows this
everyone except hollywood which is still thinking "uh, it's the piracys fault, that noone buys our movies ALTHOUGH the special effects get better and better all the time"
doesn't the picture of that console remind you of Apple's recent products? (iPod, iBook, iMac)?
I'll call this thing "iNtendo"... or maybe "NI! ntendo"

hey - will the us government punish german xxx sites for example, if they don't obey this american law?
I mean shure it would be nice to protect minors and if EVERY xxx site on the net would use a.xxx domain this would be an important step, but how do you want to make sites from other countries obey your law?
again I'm at the point where I have to say the world would be much better, if there was only one country (in effect one worldwide law) no religion and only one language... although the last two have no connection to this topic I still mention those two, because this is my bundle of utopism which WOULD also contain communism IF it worked...
well its not dead YET... like a sky diver with a broken parachute is not dead when he's 5m over the ground...
look at how fast it is loosing market share... its a matter of time...
and the parachutist currently smiles at cameras declaring everything was fine... FUD!
so what you're saying is that we should use an extremely insecure feature as active X just to be able to have ajax, java and flash in IE? thats like saying we should use no firewall because some ports might be needed by "good" software...
- either the extreme insecurity (one "space"-hit mislead to an active X dialog box which showed up just milliseconds before you touched the keyboard and you've got yourself a trojan) gets fixed
- or you SHOULD use firefox, because there you have java, flash and ajax without this active X crap...
you should really get yourself informed before talking so big... IE hasn't had 95% market share since 1999... my latest news (which are also not the newest by the way) say IE has 80% and is dropping fast
you're right... IE is dead - but MS knows it and spreads some FUD now to make people beleive it wasn't...
uh uh uh! IE7 will habe Active X again! wow! great! has anyone ever seen a site actually using Active X for other purposes than installing spyware, virii, trojans, dialers and worms?
well I guess soon George W will go

seriously, samzenpus, this "sensing faint electrical fields, homing in on the trace of a scent" is ridiculous! or do you feel actual pain if you get hit by a bullet in a videogame?
just because you control a sharks brain, using a joystick, you don't automatically receive his feelings...
So, AOL and Yahoo get in the spammers industry?... let's make money - screw the customers... I guess they didn't calculate the customers that will turn away from them, leading to AOL's and Yahoo's bankruptcy... I won't miss them anyways
I don't think they would block out websites that haven't paid - but I think - this might FINALLY lead to a well organized internet - which means you could find the information you're searching for much faster (opposite to todays mess where information becomes harder and harder to find) - bad stuff like child porn or nazi content might become impossible to spread - hell, even trojans, exploits, viruses and worms might disappear - spam might be defeated
Despite the fact that there are only 44 things (with an excuse that is at least quite funny) did you notice that there are more like 20-25 things you can do with your iPod - many of them (podcasting, record stuff, use it as a mirror, read texts, disguise it in some way, broadcast radio signals) are mentioned multiple times...
but how about this one: get arrested for installing linux on it
or this one: die from age while waiting for the unbeleivalble slow software to have uploaded your music on it
and this last one: waste your time on reading the same fun things to do with your iPod over and over again
well what shall I say... thats just the effect: no matter how bad your product is - when you broadcast enough advertisements the people will buy it... MS,HP,Apple (and more I don't recall now) live from that effect ^^

Yes sure, lets all waste cpu time on running scripted programs in our OS, they are not horrible enough on websites... script languages are so great because every moron can use them...
do you realize that the fastest "programs" written in SCRIPT languages need about TWENTY TIMES the ammount of cpu time that a COMPILED C++ Program would need?
Is it so important to us, that every idiot can write "programs" for us? do we need them so badly that we have to throw our CPUs performance out of the window for them?
just my two cents
I love my c++ compiler =)

apple is so popular for two reasons:
1. the products look cool
2. the products are easy to use for unexperienced users
thats the same reason why windows is so widespread...
technologically the products are middle-class and this

one thing you forgot: you could say the same thing about heroin
"But what happens when lots of relatively dumb drones have to share airspace with aircraft carrying passengers?"
the same thing that happens when relatively dumb presidents have to share groundspace with citizens: they clash

I still have no doubt, that the RIAA will ignore these facts and continue suing the pants of 15 year olds...

so this was a BUY IT NOW transaction... will they sue me now? I'm afraid...
