felt like that kid with decoder ring in the movie "A Christmas carol".... eagerly decoding the secret message, only to realize it was just a damn commercial.
This new company essentially made an expensive domain name purchase
Would anyone really be interested in this new companies scheme if it were called the TheCommercialCove.com rather than(feebly) hiding behind the pirate bay "brand"?

those are the billboard "Top" artists of 2008.. do you really think it's not the music?
age? keep dreamin peeboy.. it IS the music
the firefox folks have definitely taken a page from microsoft's book.. what "made" firefox great was that it didnt tell you / give you / do anything you didnt want.
It was a brwoser, it did what it was supposed to, and it did it well. Seems the success has gone to their heads and they are moving away from a browser and buying into all the web 2.0 hype by trying to become an *insert latest internet marketing mumbo jumbo* application.
there is innovation and keeping up with the times...and then there is shoving things down your throat without giving you a Choice (hi bill).
dammit, the awsome bar is Not awsome.
at first glance.. i despise the fact that the favicon or "identity" button can change color and grow to show more information.
if its not Broken don't fix it. The Location bar was fine, all the "new" features of it basically does what the search bookmarks/history sidebar already did...
an "awesome sidebar" would have been good....not being given the choice of how to use something as fundamental as the location bar,or even the adjective to describe it is.... microsofty.
what makes(made?) ff great was that it was a simple browser without any of the stuff you didn't want or need....
and if you CHOSE to have crap you wanted or needed, thats what the addons were for.
Of course most folks consider anime as being for kids only...
Thats how US License Holders Want it.
With a few exceptions. Shows are poorly voiced over, with storylines edited and/or totally destroyed in order to
make it dumbed down enough so that even the youngest of viewers can understand.
making it as sanitized as possible for a tv station to air it on saturday mornings/after school.
In turn, television stations "use it" to sell candy/cereal/toy commercials, with all involved wringing their hands hoping they have the next pokemon/power rangers on their hands.
That making it out to be a kids product is the plan by US companies.... makes less sense for a for a foreign company to have that much concern over it. After all, how many 7 year olds do you know would be willing to read subtitles...let alone understand japanese?
nah, comcast got their hands caught in the torrent throttling cookiejar.... anime is plan b.
huh, hearing that they claim these folks face jail time is odd.... yes it is illegal to make available translations of copyrighted work...but copyright laws generally revolve around the money trail. If you make cash from translations, THAT would make you criminally liable, your own govts legal system can charge you criminally.
But... and someone smarter can correct me... its that exchange of money that makes it a criminal offense,
if No money changes hands then that puts you in a bit of a grey area...outside of Criminal liablity in your country...when that happens international copyright laws (that your country willingly agrees to) then allows for civil responsiblity, where the copyright holder of a foreign country has the right to sue you in your countries court of law...to FIRST prove your actions caused a loss...and then to recover damages.
That these folks put stuff up for free...i would have thought, would have left them open to civil liablity at most, so why the threat of jail time?
UNLESS...and seeing how the polish version of mpaa/riaa is involved, the criminal charges well stem from Piracy accusations not the translations.
and seeing how free translations helps polish folks watch pirated vids....its easy to see why the "he Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry" aka mpaa/riaa would WANT translations to equal piracy.
yeah, that "article" was a rant... a pretty lame one at that.
What the lil' fella probably ran into was a website geared towards IE 6...that IE 7 can still pull off (Sites that used ie conditional statements fare better in ie7). cant count how often i ran into a website riddled with css errors/hacks that were done to accomadate IE 6, that never took into account other browsers in the first place.
I am no fan of IE, and actually wish MS would really force the upgrade on users and do away with 6 altogether, 1 problem child to contend with is better than 2. IE7 is an improvement, but its still the most problematic browser for me...the experience is still that of trying to adjust the antennas on an old tv trying to get a good signal.
Just goes to show how bad commercial music has become,
first it was music thats "wasnt worth" paying for, now its music thats not even worth downloading illegally for free..

The Pirate Bay is dead... time to move on.

it's trial software....this is a commercial product?
people have wasted a ridiculous number of hours dealing with specific issues related to nearly every version of IE to come along
and now they have the audacity to cash in on it? To pay THEM so we can deal with it?
