You gotta know the rules, suicide is instant forfeit. Right now, I am definitely loosing though, Bill is a hard guy to catch...
You know why VHS won that war don't you? Porn.
Yeap, the porn industry chose VHS to release their movies on and the VHS market was almost established overnight. Porn is not the only reason but it was deifinately a large of it.
Well, turning it into a business model is one way for the site to actually support itself. A bunch of geeks being geeks can't afford all the bandwidth.
Also, this is the good ol' capitalistic USA. If you can't sell it, it is not really a success is it? I mean, most people in this country do what they do for money. After all, life is a game and he who has the most money when he dies wins right? Right???
Sony shoots itself in the foot time and time again. Look at their new product, the Mylo. A device for playing music, movies, chatting, and surfing the Internet. Hrm, sound a lot like the PSP. So instead of supporting the PSP with some kind of download service they just continue to roll out products without any real support for downloads yet claim their products are exactly for that. They started that song and dance long ago with the hard drive attachment for the PS2 when they promised a hub for downloading music and movies, and didn't follow through.
Instead of bringing out new products and formats (Blue-Ray) they should take some time to support the products they already have and make good on all their broken promises.
This is why I no longer buy Sony products in the personal electronics area, they never keep their word and quietly break their promises and let their planned service fall by the wayside.
Just wait till the "unwashed masses" start responding to their blogs and flaming their discussion, oh wait that should make em feel at home, just like the classroom.
Actually your partly wrong. Parents can also teach their kids to drive using an online course and many of those private driving schools have the same teachers teaching them that used to teach at high schools. Of course I really did not want to post about it since it just gives the "blame the parents" guy more fuel for his flame the parents post that will show up sometime soon. Post 5 came close...
I find it funny Google AdSense found this topic controversial and posted a Public Service announcement instead of an add. Just goes to show Mike can be controversial sometimes. ;) Check it: Is Techdirt article: Google AdSense Destroying Hard-Hitting Investigative Journalism? http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060803/027209.shtml
LOL! This reminds me of that stupid cell phone commercial, the first guy claims the cell phone has an anti theft device. So the other guy says let me see it. So the first guy nails him in the head with the phone from across the room.
Funny commercial but the actual advertisement for it sucked, I can't remember which company did the commercial.
I like the idea of a tazer phone, detects your life rythem and if the wrong person is scanned: Zap!
They will cave. The Gestopo RIAA will threaten and coarse until they cave. They always do.... none of them have the money the RIAA has. No one can out appeal them, they either give up and move on or they go bankrupt in court. Who can blame them for moving on, bankruptcy sux.
So they patented a scale or the process of checking the scale to see if it is wrong? I guess I am a country bumpkin, I do not get all these new fangled contraption thingies and terms such as 1+1=2.
"Lies everywhere you turn, and people wonder why violent crime rates are rising so rapidly."
Huh, I could have sworn I read an article stating just the opposite, crime on the downslide.... Funny how we can all find opposing "facts" to back up almost any claim.... on the internet =D
Heh, gotta love Google's solution though, don like us linking? FU, pull the links and be done. Google should back out of the new deal and let it stay as is. Let AFP find it's own traffic.
Friggin moronic idiots. The MPAA and the RIAA should all be grouped together and set on a deserted island with one mp3 player that won't play itunes and a computer with music and Itunes on it, then told if they can't make it work, they won't be allowed to leave.
