sheeeet homie i'd done it for free!

*Rawr*

Excpet the bastard child of them - English.

ok - who has the most pr0n on their HD? :D around 16

Shadowpaladin had a 500GB full of games once

doesnt that slow down your pc a lot? I only have 80GB :"> and of that 40 is movies and music, but then again i usually back up stuff when it fills up otherwise it starts coughing and spluttering.

wait.. i thought everyone had seen it Also, I can kill you with my brain. :lol:

Yeah its them the RIAA and MPAA should be targeting. YA-HAARR ME HEARTIES WOULD YE LANLUBBERS BE WANTIN SOME MOVIES AND MUSIC FER FREE?

I was including both types - physical and ethereal piracy. Physical is more of an actual problem because in that case you san see the lost revenue and it is very widespread and entrenched.

Do not overestimate the effect of piracy on the movie industry.

Yeah Stover's a great author, all great authors have an extensive knowledge of martial arts and a resume consisting of.... some other star wars novels.

I want to see Stop or My Mom Will Shoot 2

Britain is like a 10th the size and there still problems getting broadband out to everyone so i guess it must be a real bitch in the US wher the size makes this thing really difficult.

What in the name of fuck are you blathering on about? Alien 3 is not even worthy to eat the shit of Alien and Aliens you cockbreathed fool!

There is technology to allow high bandwidth communication wirelessly using stuff like the masts they use for cell phones. DO you have cable tv? That is a network through which broadband could be delivered.

Hold up there sonny, what about fucking Alien 3?

unzing

If games companies and movie studios had their way they would impose havy penalties for backing up (thats why i am liking Blu Ray less and less these days.) EDIT: I Understand about rural areas and the issue of connectivity Servant of Flame and yeah its a real bummer. But i think that may be resolved with wireless connections.

Around 13m households (more than half) are online in the UK. Over half all the net connections in the UK are broadband with dial up in decline. I cant find any up to date stats on how many homes are broadband or whether some form of broadband is available to anyone in the UK

As other people have stated Bill Gates has said some stupid stuff before but i think he is onto something with this. I think it depends on three factors though: Bandwidth - this will become less of a problem. In the Uk at least ADSL+2 is being rolled out with a 24Mb connection. At max speed (fingers crossed) your average DVD-9 is downloaded in about an hour. Network/DRM: Home wireless is ok at the moment speeds are increasinga nd it is easy to set up. But once i have my legally downloaded movie/game album i would like to be able to stream it to my tv/hifi/console without and copy protection crap Storage: this is where it falls down, hard drives are getting bigger but they are still susceptible to crashes and corruption etc. If your harddrive "goes boom" thats your whole collection gone. Even though CD/DVD isnt invincible if one gets damaged it can be replaced, it would be independent of your collection of physcial disc media (unless a meteor fell on your dvd cabinet)

I read that was up next too. I suppose it makes sense due to that almost pointlessness of that character but bear in mind an ep is coming up about that person's past. My gripe with it is If it is that last blonde girl from the tail section to die (i thought the same thing too Sereyna) that would be oh so cheap and lame - but i guess it wouldnt matter so long as there is a big payoff, which is due. I don't think sawyer's name was ever revealed... unless in the episode where kate reads the letter.

uhhhh

No way , locke can't die before we find out how the hell he can walk again.I think the writers are lost already yeah someone will die in a cheap shot to maximise ratings or november sweeps. <_< I'm hoping all this slow crap is just build up to the first big plot point of the season. So far the pacing has been all wrong

Sweden make cars?
