... truth is that a large part of any console's cost is recovered by content, and without that cash innovation will die and/or consoles will become more expensive. Nintendo always owns a part of the Wii - they paid for it...
Not true, not in this case. Unlike Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo has never sold Wii consoles at a loss, not at launch and not now.
The GP is talking about actual piracy of GBA games, i.e. bootleg cartridges manufactured by unauthorized/unlicensed agencies, sold at rates lower than retail, of which the copyright owners get nothing. This is the real piracy which anyone would support laws against. Unlicensed distribution that involves no gains to the distributor i.e. most p2p and 'warez', are copyright infringement, not piracy.
Both are illegal but they are not the same thing. It may be said that actual piracy could have a direct correlation to lost sales without the logical fallacies of equating illegal uploads/downloads with lost sales.
but who knows how many more folks these assholes intimidated that night, or how much more damage they did?
Not you, for sure.
Or a blue-tooth enabled testicular clamp.
Because only men use their cell phones while driving! And all women are good at multi-tasking!
Have you read the page you just quoted? Below the table appears:
The Uniform Vehicle Code states:
Upon all roadways any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic
Note that this law refers to the "normal" speed of traffic, not the "legal" speed of traffic. The 60 MPH driver in a 55 MPH zone where everybody else is going 65 MPH must move right. Contrast Alaska's rule, 13 AAC 002.50, allowing vehicles driving at the speed limit to use the left lane, and Colorado rev. stat. 42-4-1103, prohibiting blocking the "normal and reasonable" movement of traffic.
Emphasis is mine. It's almost as if the author of that page is responding directly to your GP post...
I agree with you, and furthermore would like to point out that soldiers are well aware of their chances of survivals, while terrorism victims are exactly that - victims.
I find it quite logical... sending 200000 soldiers to war, and if 5000 die, that is indeed a "minimal" casualty rate.
Deaths resulting from terrorism, are all unacceptable, where 10 people dying is a large number and anything more than 100 can be termed a huge number of deaths, simply because the lowest "acceptable" level of casualty in terrorist attacks is zero.
I don't agree that this will solve anything. People who are likely to double click on cute_cat.jpg.exe are just as likely to not know the difference between song.mp3.exe and songmp3.exe.
"it says mp3 right there in the file name"
The logic jump from there being possible organic matter on the moon, to the near-assumption that this organic matter is life-based or life-supporting was apparently made by the writer of the original article http://www.dnaindia.com/scitech/report_indian-scientists-detect-signs-of-life-on-moon_1322785
While a lay person such as the reporter may claim ignorance of the difference between "carbon-based matter" and "carbon-based matter that supports or has come from live organisms", I am truly surprised at just how many non-humorous posts we have here on
I'm sure the germans have *some* humour, but I guess they wont have many puns.
Yes, but does that preclude him from filing tax returns? I think not.
We will never really know if his going nuts was an effect of joining the CoS or the cause of it.
.... without wasting their money on District 9.
I disagree, IMO District 9 is well worth the money
India will always be referred to as being a Third world nation. This is because Third world does not mean what you think it means.
It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem.
