Yes, thats a significant triumph of law and order over mayhem and chaos, and should be celebrated by all law abiding world citizens! I, for one, applaud fearless Scandinavian law enforcement officers, and congratulate them with successful completion of this important and dangerous assignment! Girl should be re-educated in specialized correctional facilities, and the tool of the crime, namely Winnie the Pooh laptop, destroyed.

Digital content is free and readily available, and this reduce hoarding - people used to hoard cd's, mp3's and movies in different formats, now you just need to know the name of the movie - 2 hours later (due to low bandwidth here on the island) you can watch it, and there is no point not to delete it afterwards - as it can be easily downloaded again if needed. Basically it's the same as DVD rental but wider selection, less hassle, available everywhere in the world 24/7 and free.

Ah I get it now, driving to DVD rental provides the necessary exercise for your body and you see the sun and all those albinos on the way? I live on a small island in Thailand, we do not have a DVD rentals or any shop selling movies here (i guess due to no demand), fortunately there are plenty other stimulus to go outside.

http://thepiratebay.se/search/naruto/0/7/0 naruto in japanse with subtitles. Could you tell your otakus they may shell out some money in my direction? I will gladly accept paypal, bitcoin, bank wire or any other form of payment.

Whats your problem, you people do not know how to use internets? Or you just need to pay somebody for the movie you will watch? Whats the real difference between thepiratebay and offline dvd rental store, except that rentals are free on thepiratebay? Movie producers do not get anything from offline DVD rental when you rent a movie, right?

There are the right answer in this episode - burn the place and get insurance money!
 
Seriously, DVD rental? Consider buying my collection of music stored on compact cassettes, you could add innovative music rental service to your store, I'm sure there got to be a HUGE demand for rare punk rock albums!

Comment Re:spread via RTF?! (Score 2) 85

It have nothing to do with progress, RTF, PDF and DOC are mostly used to display formatted text with images or other media, why would anybody need any scripts there? We could easily abolish all those formats in favor of HTML + CSS + media files in folder or compressed container, as an added bonus we would not need google quick view than.
