A lot, since TPB does not serve the video.
I think that was kind of his point in response to the poster who said that it was easy to download hq video from TPB...

If you think porn has nothing to do with nerds, I'm afraid you're sadly mistaken.
Not sure if survival is what they are trying to do, more like mitigating the damage and hoping there is something left afterwards.
Which is a fancy way of saying survival, in this context.
Too, they're going to have a hard time avoiding criminal charges if the allegations have merit.
The subconscious works at a level beneath rational thought.
It does not require one to be stupid to suffer such an 'affliction' as this - merely susceptible to suggestion at the subconscious level. Where rational thinking and filtering need not apply.
'Could' isn't the same as 'did'. I can speculate just as well as the next slashdotter. Mars could have done all sorts of things.
Whew, good thing we had you to point that out for us!
Or they could sell subscriptions (to readers) and syndication rights (to other newspapers, and aggregators like Google). Presumably the original content has value. I'd be suspicious if the content was supposed valuable, but nobody but advertisers was actually willing to pay for it.
You mean syndicate to sites that present the content and slather it with their own ads?
For the most part it's not the ads. If they're not blinking or obnoxious I can live with them.
It's the tracking intrinsic to the ads that are the problem.
Use a service that allows you to host the ads on your own servers, so that I know the only person collecting my data is the site that I'm visiting.
Right, but one really big external monitor + laptop screen + big or medium sized external monitor would be even better... Moving my head and eyes doesn't bother me on a horizontal plane - organizing the monitor content correctly makes it efficient.
Cool, thanks! Hopefully my job will upgrade me soonish, I'd love to use both of my large-screen displays + laptop.
If you need me screen real estate, buy another screen. This ain't hard
Unless you're on a macbook. Which for practical purposes limits you to one external monitor. (Yes USB solutions exist, but so far they suck IMO.) That's for the 2011 mbp - maybe they fixed this shortcoming in the 2012 model?
What are you talking about?
But hey, thanks for the interesting visual!
Customers are using Minis for all sorts of things:
I guess the moral of the story is "beauty is only skin deep".
Also, seven (7!) whole companies are offering colocation and/or hosting services for mac minis!
I'd ask why it was news, but it was slashcloud so expectations are very low.
But the plaintiff only pays on loss -- that means that the defendant still has to front any costs - even though the plaintiff will hold the money in escrow just in case they lose. I see this as causing a shift away from NPEs targeting big companies with deep pockets (and expensive lawyers), and towards small companies that will be left with little choice.
Agreed as to the rest of your comment, though.
A design flaw is a bug in the design. Dubious historical etymology notwithstanding.
A bug can exist anywhere in your stack - requirements, design, implementation, test.
I still don't see how I gave this impression - it's the opposite of what I meant. NPEs will stop targeting big companies because they couldn't afford to lose. Instead they'l target many small companies who can't afford to go to court in the first place.
