Yeah, and if you do the revenue math there, it makes Netflix look dumb:
1. Deal with it. Revenue gain to Netflix $0, less any loss of goodwill from you badmouthing their decision to friends.
2. Open an account for each person. ( Say, 3x 1 disc accounts instead of 1x, 3 disk account). Revenue gain to […]

My feelings on the Open Source mentality have always been somewhat mixed, but I sincerely hope that Florian doesn’t take this shiteful incident to heart in the long-term.
The fact is, if you put something on the internet, people will cock around with it. Providing the source code just makes it easier. That doesn’t make Open […]

TyroneBR, you oppose evolution and I will assume that you support ID or creationism (same difference) in its place. So, since it’s well-supported science (riiight?), I’d like to know some things about your view. What is this Creator of which you speak? Does it have a name, a location, a body? What is its nature? […]

Convention sure lets adopt a new convention that smoking in public is not allowed because it’s disgusting to non smokers. Is that better? The reason that shitting in public isn’t accepted mirror that of smoking. I find it quite odd that we allow people to light something on fire in the sidewalk and […]

Lots of people have been saying this for many, many years

Lots of people have been saying this for many, many years.
In the end it is unlikely to ever really happen. By the time the technology (ie blade runner spinner style rather than waiting ages to take off and land, needing a runway, the fact that just about any crash will kill you) is good enough […]

It was on digg a while back. I’ve got no qualms with legitimate pornography, where all actors and parties are for it and enjoy what they do. It’s just hard to tell in the wild world of porn when women (and men) are entering because it is a passion […]

If I’m understanding you correctly I think Obama has the same point. He wants accountability for who made the companies break the law in the first place (GW and his henchmen). This bill also says that you cannot have civil suits, from my understanding criminal charges are not off the table with this bill. And […]

But there’s no sense crying over every mistake

But there’s no sense crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done.
And you make a neat gun
for the people who are
still alive.
I’m not even angry…
I’m being so sincere right now-
Even though you broke my heart,
and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As […]

Here’s a quote from that ScienceDaily article that says it all

Here’s a quote from that ScienceDaily article that says it all…”There must be a lot more volatiles in the system than we thought.” Ohhh, so you mean scientists DON’T know everything about the planet already?? You mean there are variables involved that might not have been considered? And yet I thought I heard that the […]
