They made Apple use DRM. And what about the dozen or so companies using various forms of MS DRM???? IF anything their incompatibility is hindering sales. At least with Apples DRM you can use it on most WIN and OS X .
I think what he is talking about is the millions of dollars worth of materials and labor. The route it takes is just a matter or permits or permissions. If the company cannot profit from the task, then why should they do it at all!? "The people" can put in their own damn wires. Oh wait, "the people" never actually do anything but wait for someone else to do it...
...content providers charging an extra price for HD content they are receiving for free. For example to receive HD content, my sole cable supplier says I must spend an extra $60 a month to purchase digital, then HD access. However, I discovered since my tv has a HD tuner with a coaxil input, I can get the same HD content for free. Proving its not a technology barrier but something they just want to charge us for.
And since the content is being held hostage, consumers are not buying HD devices, thus there is little demand....I know come Feb 2009 my cable provider is going to jack up my prices and subscription just because they have a monopoly in my area.
This is why antenna are making a come back. Major networks still broadcast over air in large metropolitan areas.
I think if the bottom of the ocean is showing a dramatic increase in temperature it indicates something besides polution is happening, possible geo-thermic.
Subliminal messages are a scam. The Vicary studies of the 1950's had falsified results. Its like 4 decades later and you people still believe this crap. Just like the silly hippie idea "talk to your plants" crap was faked.
but in the US, Democrats think the government should take care of their every need. Which basically means taxing their neighbors because they dont want to personally put in the necessary effort.
I've never seen such a thing. Maybe it varies from phone company to phone company. Or, the person choose to add that notation to their listing. Its not added in the phone books I have looked at.
And those books are not always a publication of the phone company. Nor do they list age or gender. Nor is it likely that a minor will have credit or the ability to have phone without their parents knowing. AND, you have the ability to omit your listing completely. Have you ever heard of an "in listed number?"
The phone company is nothing like MySpace. It does not have forums, blogs, profiles, bulletins or applications for connecting *random* people together. Stop trying to force a square peg into a round hole.
Compare the the US in internet users and our numbers will be better. Other countries may have an advantage at the moment because they are laying down lines for the first time. We either have to replace or upgrade. Besides, believe it or not, some people are perfectly happy with dialup or no internet at all.
Its an identical situation to telecommunications. Europe is advanced in cellphones because they never had the landline network we have.
There is a significant difference. THe phone company doesnt list your age and gender, nor does it do peer to peer networking. (In the literal sense.) To innitiate a phone call you have to exchange phone numbers. You might make the argument for the phone book companies.
My only dismay at this judgement is that that the reason is interferring with MySpaces business, rather than assert user responsibility. The 13 year holds some responsibility and that should be noted.
I agree. I think its subjective to the community involved. Here in the US everybody is on the net at work. Displacing them to their homes may not have any impact at all.
To what extent does the bigotry of the right have any thing to do with the bigotry of the left? Two wrongs do not make right. That is a fallacy of logic! You are illogical. Especially while we are stiving for equal rights. To return bigotry only makes the situation worse.

...not a federal issue. Federal taxes do not pay for land fills or toxic clean ups. WHy should they tax us for e-waste?

Microsoft was never a brand associated with quality.

Let go of the conspiracy.
Should be "...Dives *to* Crushing Depths"

Actually, the original "DRM" on DVDs didnt prevent copying. It protected distribution from places like China to the US.
All of which is irrelevent to this post which claims that there wouldnt be piracy if there wasnt DRM.
Music DRM came after online file sharing was out of control. Movie DRM was a direct result of overseas counterfeiting.
I want proof the bandwidth is suffering dramatically. THis all sounds like doom and gloom, not actual numbers.
The Democrat's agenda is to force us to use the expensive and more environmentally hazardous ethanol.
More like the mechanical owl in Clash of the Titans.

Do you have any idea what it takes to get a phone number, let a listing?
I said peer to peer networking - literally. As in person to person net working... "Peer" originally meant a person.
Sheesh.
There isnt any difference???? Exactly how do you pick a phone and call 13 year old girls if you dont have their number already?

Two events do not make a trend. I hate web reporting. Complete misuse of words.

Why is ok to talk sh*t about Christians and not Muslims? The left in this country are bunch of bigots!
Require everyone to have a passport. Really, who runs this country?
...still, its already law in CA that we must have id with us at all times.
Although, having to show "papers" smacks of Nazi Germany.
