Stock market is inherently structured as a pyramid scheme. Those who obtained stock early had an easy time obtaining it, and they're incentivised to recruit others so their stockpile has value... Yeah I know, that's quite a stupid thing to assert.

I know this spans just the year 1963, but haven't the BBC songs already been released here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_the_BBC_(The_Beatles_album)

Thanks, didn't realize that in fact yes they do use the One-click purchase system don't they! Now off to google some CC numbers and do some christmas shopping on the good old 'Zon!

Are you saying there are merchants who do not require you to type in the sercurity code? Can you give an example of such merchants?

You must be new here, right?

I expect version 20.0 by December.

You're reverse-engineering it wrong.

This is just terrible reporting. 1) No support is given to the claim that it was really the tweet that caused the "spike"*. 2) No account is given on how exactly the supposed misinterpretation came to be. Sorry Reuters, but writing that "traders did it" just isn't good enough. If this is a real "trading" story, there must be an official account of it happening somewhere (like an Exchange memo or something), and if there is, you should fucking dig for it and show us. *3) No context is given explaining why a mere 1% increase in price should even be called a "spike" in oil trading.

Amen.

There's ALWAYS something better to do than read a suasage machine book! :)

Wow, very insightful. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts. Reads like a breath of fresh air among all the internet hate and paranoia.

Thanks for the "browser.download.useToolkitUI" tip! The new download box was truly horrendous. And LOL @ "UI breakage" - because that's really the only thing they're good at nowadays at Mozilla.

The CD itself will not play on your turntable, because it was not meant to. It's not about aging of technoloogy at all. It's about different products and it's also the ARM (Analogue Restrictions Management), stupid! :P If you buy a movie on XBOX Video, what makes you think it should be playable on your iPad? The iPad has its own venue for movie purchases and it's called iTunes. If you don't like it then buy something that plays anything from anywhere. But please don't try to dictate how others should do business and/or consume entertainment.

It's not a problem as long as the format creators are offering a player.

He's bought a movie to be played on his XBOX. If another company made XBOXes then you'd be right to expect the movie to be playable on them. But they don't. It's a format, same as LP vs. CD.
