  1. You know what I hate?

    You will

    It's all about ME ME ME

    You can do what you want in the USA as long as you don't disrespect others. When they start putting lines out, where should they be drawn? You can have an African American College Fund, but not white kids college fund. If we are going to live by tenant that all men (and women) are created equal, we need to act like it. It's becoming more Legalistic I think, people suing others for stuff, but don't take from me and don't ask! A lot of people want to take, but giving is a whole different story.

    I'm too jaded maybe, but I believe we get more than we give, at some point. It all comes around.

  2. If this is a guy selling you a set that he has in his living room, give it back. If the guy has a garage full of multiple copies of stuff and employees that are rude to people over the internet, then Gig 'em.

    Honesty is the best policy, but remember this c4, if you get hooked up, remember to let the love flow through you to others. It's not evil to gain from anothers loss, but to not share our excess is.

    Buy a bum a burger...

  3. On the verge of the DD boxed set boom, yeah, I think we are there, the studios are scrambling to pack up content and sell it. I saw the "Greatest American Hero" at wal-mart. I liked it as a kid, but $45, not that much, especially since I'd have to sell it to get rid of it. The last super bowl, on DVD.

    I keep having to agree with people, but the point they are making isn't about mooney, it's a display of power to justify existance. If they don't go after someone for something, they're out of a job, the internet just gave law inforcement a new job description.

  4. I don't do much...aww, that's crap. Lately there's nothing really attractive out there, but I think Nite is on the right track, the tax is a little assumptive. On the other hand, they could make the content available online, I have cable internet and regular cable too, why not stream it to me. You know I'm gonna cut out the commercials, but then we end up in the same old back alley with the MP@@ "If you want these shows on a disk, you have to buy the ones we make".

    Really, why allow a company to make a DVD recorder that has composite or component connections? What the hell are people gonna do with that?...make alot of trips to Blockbuster or other video stores, that's what.

    Here's one for you....

    When video stores started offering unlimited rentals for a flat rate, like netflix, what were they thinking? They were thinking "We only have one shot at this, unless they are too dense to operate the DVDburner on thier PC."

    My sister in law, her whole family and everyone they know right now, they can't rip or burn ANYTHING!

    EDITTED HERE: In case you're wonderiing, yes, I gave them the tools and training they need to do this from any source, they just aren't motivated to do anything and also blame me for not doing something right. So they borrow movies from me...

    Lazy and stupid, that's just the way they are and that's o'kay, but how much money could hollywood lose on people who are willing to do some work for a free flick? Not as much as they spend on prosecution.

    And that, by the way, is what pisses me off:

    They act like my step-kids, "it's not my money, let's spend it."

    One Lasst Gasp!!!

    Have you realized that while we are allowed to make copies of dvds and vhs for personal backup, the DMCA made it illegal to circumvent copyright protection measures on disks. Uh-Duuuuuuuuurr. WTF?

  5. PPS I do happen to have his return email address........but wouldn't want anyone to spam him or indeed get themselves into trouble from google over abuse, and wouldn't want my g/f any more upset. still if anyone wants it for information purposes......

    Learn more about PHP otr another language like that and you can send your own email bombs...or so I've heard...

    Check google or your favorite coding site.

  6. Well, if we are the great capitolist nation we claim to be, or are, we can't say, "Piss on them" just becasue they are rich. If it were my work out there, I'd want to get paid too, at least at first, after that I'd seed it myself.

  7. I had the same impression as a lot of folks who got into Surface, they announced that they had a season 2 coming and that they would wrap with a season finale, and if that's as far as it goes, then I picked the wrong show to back.

    How did the other new shows turn out? I'm too pissed off about following this one to find another series to catch up on.

    Matter of fact, I'm gonna start a new topic on this.
