I disagree.

If its on Netflix, why would I even bother to download the torrent?

of course my corollary for that is....

If the content industry ever kills Netflix I am going to steal everything and pay for nothing.

The criminals would have to get in line behind his government.

I just try to keep Om Nom fed and happy....

No, they're not all in Silicon Valley, but Google is.

I'm sorry my back of the envelop calculations don't take into account the possible lower price of labor in other locales or overseas.

Yes, Greece is looking for a liberal solution.

I agree the conservative solution is very painful for them.

But, I think if they follow the liberal solution, their country will burn. It will be 10x worse than anything they've gone through so far.

Their options are painful thriftiness, or universally worthless money.

Republican != Conservative

Fine then pay them $50K a year. (Good luck finding someone in Silicon Valley willing to work for that.)

This STILL means that google would be out almost $12 billion dollars.

Its still a ridiculous amount.

Where's the +1 awesome mod?

Yeah, rocket train.....

Ok, I'll not mod the troll for what it is. But that condescending "reality liberal bias" shit is getting really old.

Just to point to a counter example. Greece would prefer to stick with its liberal policies and continue spending government money it doesn't have. In this case, and I am not claiming that this is true in all cases, reality has a decidedly conservative bias. Greece needs to make heavily conservative moves with respect to their government spending or they are doomed. And no, the liberal "raise taxes" move isn't going to work, either.

So, Greece is living in a reality that has a conservative bias. Through proof by contradiction, the lie that "reality has a liberal" bias (in all cases) is patently false.

Lucky for you the Republicans just happened to pick a small soap dish to run against him.

All the whiny crybabies that got suckered into buying this stinker of a stock now want their losses covered?

Due diligence isn't just a cool sounding term. If you're an investor you've got to assume they're painting a rosy picture to try an convince people to invest. It's your responsibility to figure out if the story is too good to be true.

As trivial as it was to figure out that the Facebook IPO was a ruse, these plaintiffs deserve to have their case thrown out of court.

I'd have to agree with the gp post. I'm not terribly interested in reading crap from someone proposing implementing the mark of the beast.

The only correct responses to this are no, hell no, and then bullets.

Sure, that'll do it.

Because once we switch to electric cars charged by coal plants, we'll be fine.

We need to switch to nuclear power to but the greenies always miss that step.

Sadly, even though you kept the original DVDs as proof of purchase, you still broke the law by ripping them. You'd still be labeled a "pirate" by the content industries.

It the most maddening bit of the DMCA that by using your DVD the way you want, you're still violating the law.

There's a 0 in 12?
