Thanks for the concise summary. I have no interest in watching but I'm glad to read the rundown. Thanks for taking one for the team.

I worked there ( at a Canadian one) about 8 or 9 years ago (just before the Canadian one became "THE SOURCE BY CIRCUIT CITY" when the lease on the Radio Shack name came up for renewal in Canada) and one guy I worked with (who had been there since it was Tandy Leather) said they used to make employees memorize resistor colour codes. When I was there, we had to memorize Rogers cell phone plan particulars instead. It had basically become an over-sized cell phone kiosk. Their assets must be worth something - that have a lot of prime real estate in high-traffic retail areas.

Or, at least, the lower receiver of an internet.

Mistakenly modded this overrated when trying to mod funny. Commenting to clear mod.

You know who else got hacked? MY MOM!

So if I've already paid compensation, at the rate determined by the government, how can it be alleged that I haven't? To be fair, you claim that it is this way, but that's never actually been proven in court (unless I missed some ruling: please cite...)

Why would we want to do that? The media tariff is basically your get-out-of-jail-free card here. Just buy one blank CD-R and keep the receipt. Then download all you want. When the media companies try to sue you, simply send them a copy of your receipt as proof that you paid for an unencumbered and universal home-use license via the government, in the proscribed manner, and direct them to send their demand for payment to the appropriate government office for servicing.

I'd never thought of nerds as misogynists before, but your clever use of the word "cunt" convinced me otherwise. Well done.

How about if you got an auto insurance rebate to make up for the illusory lack of freedom?

Force manufacturers to install these kits on ALL cars. Tax liquor produces to cover the costs. Done.

Have you considered adding BitTorrent support so the ap automatically searched for/downloads torrents for eBooks that are not yet in your library? ;)

How does the ap determine that a bookplate has been affixed to the page and isn't just placed there to bypass the ap security? I can see taking one bookplate with no sticky on the back into a library or bookstore and simply shooting photos of it on the copyright page of any book one wants...
