Or perhaps a membership, paid per month, that allows you to concurrently have, say, eight movies "checked out" at any given time.
And perhaps, going even further than that, partnerships with ISPs who would, in return for being a member of that rental club, give you some discount or bandwidth bonus.
It's like, if we can't make it any smaller, we'll just find something harder and smash a few trillion more electrons through it. Let me borrow freely. Figure out what'll melt it, and then back it off a little.
This is the stupidest fucking argument ever to appear on this website. All of you need to shut the fuck up and go back to writing research papers. Stop expecting abso-fucking-lutely perfect punctuation in one hundred word comments that people generally dash off and perhaps (perhaps) skim over once briefly for glaring errors or inaccuracies. Pull the dick out of your ass and get back to work.
Boy you really brought some AC's out of the woodwork, didn't you? Of course we all know it's simply because they (like me) went through the same exact thing:)
I don't really see there being all that much to edit. Compared to many other series, it is hardly gory, there is no nudity. I'd call it lighthearted in the beginning and then getting quite serious toward the end. I also didn't think the end was that bad, either.
Actually IIRC, he doesn't even draw his gun until episode...er...six perhaps (discounting the time he pulls it out unloaded in the first episode). I dunno, I have the discs in my closet, perhaps it is time to pull them out again. You can watch every episode except 13, 13 is more of a semi-irritating recap of everything that has come in the first twelve episodes (there are 26).
NOOO keep the smelly geeks locked indoors and chained to their machines!!!

Let's see...yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no. Damn, I'm so close!!! Too bad, as is my frequent lament, the fiction section at my uni's multi-floor library could be stacked on the space left over on my desk RIGHT NOW. (picture a standard ATX tower, 17" monitor, func1030, eleven cans of Dew....yes, its that sad).
Luckily break is beginning this weekend. Perhaps I'll catch you up.
...a whole lot to say, since I basically agree with him. In fact, the very idea that anyone with a T1 can create and publish content makes me very very happy. I never like the way the original creators of material seem to get less than what they deserve. Authors less so than musicians, but hopefully (ever so hopefully) that is changing. I envision massive user-run blogs of cool content released by independent people, filtered from among the other inevitable cruft and lifted from obscurity simply by the scouring power of billions of people. It could be cool.
Oh my, its funny that Chrono Trigger is the game I'm in the middle of right now, and on that very emulator. It looks so incredibly much better, at least, it feels that way. I like.
You forgot to mention the network-play capabilities of ZSNES! Can we say two-player Super Mario Kart??? w00t.
I doubt there's any copy protection or anything like that. It's simply that the lasers in some (often older) CD players and especially DVD players simply can't read CD-R media, depending of course on the dye used in manufacture, and the burner, etc etc. See http://www.vcdhelp.com for more information. (Especially useful are their lists of DVD players and those players' compatibility with various types of media.)
Even for windows I can generally find a free app for most uses. Or something with a bare minimum of nagging that works so well it's worth paying for anyway. But generally, you're right.
If they treat it that way I swear to all that is good I'll write my own. Software should not, with few exceptions perhaps, be a service. That's awful. I can see it now, pay-per-page Word usage. I still use Windows, entirely for games, but every day I get closer to dual-booting.
I pay for the software, just like I pay for...I don't know...a stereo. I can open up the stereo and tinker with it, but it is already illegal for me to do that with software. I don't even own software that I buy nowadays.
Boy, the free-software ideal seems more and more attractive with every day that passes.
It's alright for those of us intelligent enough to use "Prefix everyone's signature with "--" to make it blazingly obvious where comment ends and sig begins".
...and I'm not even a "business" customer. I like to hunt up old versions of programs, especially older shareware stuff that I might use a couple times a year, simply because it isn't as 'crippled' as today's version, or because nowadays the company making it requires that you give them a valid email and a reason for being interested in the software. And I'm not talking about finding old programs because they're easier to find cracks for; I actually do pay and have paid for many programs I find useful, and send money along fairly frequently for the free programs that deserve it. But for stuff that just strives to annoy, I'm having none of it.
Yeah, that's just more irritating. Similar to having to scan and then OCR all the pages of a book to make a digital copy of it. Its annoying, but people still do it. And more importantly, it must be realized that only a single person has to do it.
Moderation of parent notwithstanding, you took it a bit too far. You like as to beat him over the head with a large club labeled "sarcasm". He also must be one of the slowest typists I've ever met to type those two lines in more than 20 seconds...

Don't you mean "disaster-recovery test"? ;)

Now that would be attractive.

Then apparently the umpteen million copies of that message created during the span of time this article remains on the front page will be illegal?
Is a 50-inch monitor I can Scotch-tape to my wall. Mmmmm.

I absolutely agree with you.

How can a comment POSSIBLY be overrated when it hasn't had any moderation whatsoever done to it? Someone is an idiot.
I find it invigorates the mind and expands the vocabulary. Too bad the entire fiction section at my school's library could be stacked on my monitor...
Actually, I don't think you are. I'm not sure about the Taiwanese, but some people need a good kick in the teeth.
Of course, I could be wrong, and we both could be bad people...
Moderation of parent notwithstanding, you took it a bit too far. You like as to beat him over the head with a large club labeled "sarcasm". He also must be one of the slowest typists I've ever met to type those two lines in more than 20 seconds...
