There should be a special place in hell for jackasses that text in dark movie theatres.

From the first linked article in the summary:
In recent years, American distributors have experimented with what’s known as premium VOD (video on demand), a scheme by which a newly released film is made available simultaneously on pay-per-view television for a high price. (This tactic is virtually unheard of in Canada.) Goon’s U.S. distributor, Magnolia Pictures, made the film available via U.S. cable providers for $30.

$30?? This shows exactly what is wrong with the movie studios and why they'll never "get it". It should be priced at $15 at the most. I hate movie theatres these days. Mostly due to the ignorant jackholes that can't shut up or stop checking their damn phone during the movie. I'd pay $15 to watch a first run movie on demand at home and I'm sure I'm not the only one. But $30? They can go blow it out their @ss.

They tend to do this when they are about to ask for more aid. I wonder what they want this time?

Drops a little?

To subby....WTF? You need to ask Slashdot what to do over the summer? Do you ask your parents for permission to stay out late on a school night too?

You obviously have no idea what JSTOR is or how it works. JSTOR is not withholding anything from the public. The articles JSTOR has are available through other methods. You want access to those papers? Well, then go use the other methods, including digging through print journals for them. Nothing JSTOR does is preventing you from doing so.

THIS.

As well as increased insurance costs. The authors of the article are rather dense if they honestly think that the costs of reimbursement are not passed down to consumers.

Gee whatever did the professors and students do for all those decades of university courses before the invention of computer networks?

A phone immediately fails when you need to do any tech support for it at all.

So based on your argument, if you don't need to do tech support for an iPhone I'd call that a win. If Android needs tech support than it has failed as a phone.

It can't even run a 5 year old game that uses a 8-9 year old graphics engine.

Oh look, crappy hardware struggles to run old games. WTF was the point of this review?

Rebranded Sun Java that was already free.

Rebranded Sun VirtualBox that was already free.

Rebranded Linux distro that was already free.

Look at the products Oracle made themselves and not those they acquired from Sun. They're greedy.

Try typing it into the URL field in Safari.

No crash in Firefox for me but it took down Safari.

Sorry, but if you are stupid enough to stick any part of your body into a moving fan you get no sympathy.

Laws like this are to protect the "too dumb to live" population, which should be allowed to die off so they don't infect the gene pool.

Whoa. So much wrong with that statement. You do realize that insecure programs can cause many problems other than just exploiting holes in the OS, right?

So, yes while there are definitely problems with Linux, Windows, Unix, and Mac OS, programs themselves still need to be secure and application programmers need to be the ones making sure their programs are secure.

Well unless they are finding a way for a phone to do optical zoom there's no way single purpose cameras are going the way of the buggy-whip.

And my guess is, if they do manage to offer optical zoom it will probably only be in the 2x to 3x range.
