Selling a product or service is directly related to what people are willing to pay for it. TPB helps infringe copyright, we all know that. But public aversion to a minor crime is negated by what they see as perceived racketeering.
Without widespread public support you cannot hope to prevent largescale piracy (there will always be some), and that will not change until the pricing model changes.
great place. well worth a few hours of your time. it's humbling to walk round the huts and imagine Turing and co at work. Not just Turing, but the entire staff deserved far better recognition for their sacrifices and efforts.
My initial reaction to this was " mistakenly mis-priced"? My fat hairy arse it was, you lying thieving gits. Much as many of the comments I've read so far....
then, after the brief glow of righteous indignation had faded it does occur to me,
it's not an essential good. You do not require a Whitney album to survive. It is discretionary and a luxury item.
Companies exist to do business and make profit, and if the sheeple in their faux grief at the loss of an alleged lesbian drug addled singer are prepared to pay then why shouldn't a company take that market on? After all they are not a charity.
Should we also cap prices on fleabay of people clearing out whitney tat from their attics? where's the difference?
Ultimately they can put any price they like on a good or service. No-one is forced to buy it.
"but rather when there is a meeting of the minds over the essential facts around a problem, and real solutions are broached and agreed upon."
is a meeting of minds really possible with the MPAA et al? Time and again we see evidence that they put their profits ahead of liberty or even the law, would they really move far enough to a reasonable position?
Part of the problem is that just because you have 2 opposing views the answer is not always in the middle. Sometimes people are just plain wrong.
Notices to mariners are issued comprehensively and in good time, in similar manner to notices to aviatiors. Fisherman and WAFIs are aware of them (and if not have no business being at sea). They all do courses and qualifications and pass exams to say they will and then promptly ignore them.
I've been an officer of the watch on carriers, ice breakers and commercial vessels and seen repeatedly that they think the world revolves around them, that they can ignore safety rules and the anti collision regs at will. They are a constant pain in the arse to professionals at sea and cry out for compensation faster than a french farmer see his subsidy cut. The days of fishermen being mariners have long gone. Most would struggle to use a chart properly if there isn't a screen attached, and many leave the bridge unattended and on auto pilot. At least that's my experience when watching them sail under the bows of ships that have right of way and can't turn.
If they're unable to work without GPS then stay out of the area for the brief time the exercise is on. Dawkins know the fish stocks could do with a rest from their pillaging.
whilst I understand the need for youngsters to find ways of both lowering premiums and encouraging safer driving, how long before it permeates? people get used to it, so instead of lowering premiums, people without them become penalised. Finally a majority have them fitted and of course they become justified because they save childrens lives (please think of the kiddies!)so then they become mandatory and the final step is that the data becomes available to the authorities... obviously with a warrant.. well to begin with anyway, but you know, the companies operating license is up for renewal and have you been helpful to the plod?...
Actually followed the link, and whilst yes London is at +28% of the UK average it is a bit disengenuous to compare the whole of Scotland with just London. I'm sure if Scotland was listed by region as England is there would be areas of more than the +21% Scotland gets (and conversely some with less).
However, taken as a country, England also includes, the East of England at -18% to the average and South East at -17% and so on. As a whole, England gets -3% to the UK average, Scotland gets +21%.
So the previous poster was in fact correct. Scotland gets more money (in fact over 24% more money) under the Barnett formula that England.
Booms and counterweights seem like such a waste of scarce payload. In order to maximise the available angle of dangle why not extend the support line ? Simply hanging lohan 30m or more beneath her magnificent globe seriously increases potential launch angle and clearance to the aforementioned globe as shec thrust skywards. Keeps the load mission critical.
In a different sphere of computing but already use point cloud data for visualisation and data editing and I can assure you it eats processing power for breakfast. It'll be great when it works, but just can't see it running in any meaningful way for a while yet. We have high spec rigs which occassionally struggle with what we'd like to throw at them, whereas games need to be capable of running on something approaching a normal home setup...
...but as with everything, a journey begins with the first few steps!
the theory of evolution (clue's in the title kids!) and other scientific hypotheses are conclusions not beliefs. They are formulated based on evidence and investigation. They are the answer to a question, such as how did that happen?
Beliefs by their very nature start with the answer and work back. Whether the belief is in god, scientology or the FSM.
It's easy(ish) to change a conclusion as new evidence is discovered. To change a belief you usually have to kill a whole bunch of people....
Therefore conclusion piss on beliefs from a very great height....
Couldn't agree more. Originating from that mecca of understated culture, Essex, and continuing my missionary work in bleak wilds of Teesside I can confirm that this abomination is best left alone. The basic recipe involves flattening the fillet by throwing on the floor and rolling a fat geordie lass upon it until it acheives the required shape.
God how I miss proper kebabs....
(and yes I'm only this brave because she who must be obeyed - a native - doesn't read el reg...)
As a fellow ex-OOW (and still a Hydro surveyor) more than one "old man" used to forever shout at the baby bridge teams to "look out the bloody window". People get sucked into staring at a computer screen when closest points of danger could clearly be seen, both in ships and cars.
As for technical kit, AIS, GMDSS, radar, ad nauseum, all these need is a positional feed. Be it GPS, DGPS, Glonass or galileo. it's the lack if a resolved position that causes the alarm, not the fact that a positional feed is out of error budget. Redundancy in systems prevents this, adn you can always hit the alarm cancel button and use a paper chart and a compass...
As for Loran - there's a reason it fell out of fashion. It isn't as good. otherwise we would still use the damn thing, and anyone trying to seriously wreck radio positioning just needs to add a frequency to crash that as well, however they try to enhance it.
Besides, it's not the interference with signals that is the real disaster scenario, it's spoofing. being able to fool systems into calculating a wrong position. And despite Hollywoods (and pinewoods) best efforts, that is actually very difficlut to acheive.
As with every report. Follow the cash. Who paid for it to be written and whats their agenda?

Now how to incorporate the plasma drive and obtain more fizzypop funded high-jinks?
I'm struggling to see Apples point? So what if another company made an internet enabled phone? Are they claiming that that product should be the preserve of them alone? I hope more companies have a crack at it. The more the merrier. Don't really have a drum to beat for any particular make or OS, I'll use whatever I like the look of (HTC for the time being... next who knows?) Competition breeds progress, and who doesn't want that?
but flicking through these comments, even the most ardent supporters of the iPad say something along the lines of "well, no, it's not easy or perfect" does kind of ring alarm bells...
...and no saying that linux or windows does something equally as annoying or badly at something else does not make apple any better, just equally annoying. Which is a shame, because for style and capability I really want to like them. Just because of their business practice I cannot bring myself to do it...
bottom line remains for me, if I pay for something it is then my device/comp/phone, i'll keep using whichever treats me most as a customer and not a renter.
How can the NRA be expected to mobilise when articles of this nature aren't clearly labelled? A nearly airbourne harbinger of doom co-funded by NASA (clearly a branch of Cyberdine) attacks hapless meatsacks trying to tether it?
echoing some of the comments here, I start to get a little uneasy at the singling out of the shaved headed simians. We don't seem to get the same enthusiasm for lists of other fanatical forum members such as the extreme left. animal rights, religious fundies, or our old frinds at the scientologists.
don't get me wrong, the BNP sought to get elected so should be dragged into the light but the nutters on the right seem to be the only ones targetted in this way. I'd like to see all nutters exposed
Injunctions are dead. They have shuffled off this mortal coil and are only of interest to lawyers and the dead tree press. Only way to prevent having images of you boning some waitress published is to.....Not have images taken of you boning aforementioned beer deliverer.
As for Tiger, good work fella! Most other blokes would have as well
If we ignore for a moment the rights/wrongs of this, which to be frank have been pored over to death, with both sides entrenched and unwilling to change their view. The sheer fact is that simply closing down site after site achieves nothing. It creates no revenue, going after d/l ers only alienates a potential customer base. For the business to prosper it has to produce something customers are willing to pay for, it must be easily accessible and at a price they are willing to pay. Other wise no amount of lawyers will defeat the combined computing power and intransigence of the worlds geeks and teenagers.
Makes no difference whether I believe this to be right or wrong, same as it matters not a jot whether i want the sun to rise. it will happen.
Brown forgot to mention the planned bill to limit vertical (and therfore lateral shoreward) movement of the surrounding coastal sea waters. This is believed to be issued following the Canute study.
Tme to publish all political parties members, and anyone who contributes both financially and in kind. If you seek to aid an organisation that could have power of the population, in any form, then the population should be able to know who you are. If you are not prepared to stand up and be linked to their policies then why should I have to have to face the prospect of living under them?
I think you'll find that the substance is in fact a divine bolognese sauce that has touched this mortal plane as a result of HIS noodly appendages contact with the Earth. it is only the continual pushes from his noodly appendage that keep us rotating and allow us night and day, vital so that we might enjoy happy hours, weekends, and drink covered wenches (or cabin boys as appropriate)...
this can easily be proven by a quick lick of the substance revelaing its tomatoey goodness infused with all manner over vitamin loaded herbs and heart warming red wine.... go on you know you want to.. lick it.. it tastes good doesn't it?.. lick some more mmmmmmm

How about take them to court for the civil offence of copyright infringement which is already on the statute books and has penalties laid down? Not make up special sanctions to scare people since they don't require any burden of proof, just because you managed to get lunch on a posh yacht with Geffen.
Innocent until proven guilty. In a court, not some dark room by Fergal, MandelHoon and Geffen. Downloaders are not the end of civilisation, and laws only function by the consent of the population.
Thank you for your email i have looked in to your query and we will not be launching the vario5 as the features of the Nokia N97 features are very similar which will be launched this week.We have launched the compact 5 which is available now.
Kind Regards

been hanging for this phone for ages. decent interface, good screen, keyboard, memory expansion all in the one package. so off to vodafone for me.... can't help but feel their current financial crisis is driving their stock more than similarity to the N97. After all, every other region of T-mob is stocking it.... you can follow the saga on xda developers here
they would have been far better releasing the vario 5 /Touch Pro 2 (which they now inform me they have cancelled after keeping us hangin about for ages) good screen, easy memory expansion and good keyboard all in a neat package. Off to vodafone as a result!
Stop the charade about "well, it was in the rules", that's up there with "I was only following orders". Which, on reflection, is apt for someone who has lead the biggest assault on civil liberties on the Islands since Operation Sealion. Does she really think it appropriate to spend our money on those items? Does she hell. It is simply viewed as what's owed to them. That's why they maximise their "allowances" in this manner. Stop patronising us.
I have not laughed so hard since I heard Gordon Braun state "it was a personal matter".. Did you not know comrade? There are no personal matters anymore. Everything is subject to scrutiny. Your emails, your browsing habits (thats got to be a goldmine for the tabloids in the Timney household). Failure to comply indicates terrorist sympathies, as does criticism of the Junta. You shall finally reap what you have sown.
Get out the lot of you, take your £550 sinks, your second incomes for partners/mistress' who pretend to work for you, your allowance for a second home 5 mins from your first, your years severance pay for losing an seat in the great gravy train that is parliament and simply FOAD.
You will be remembered with more vitriol, loathing and disgust than any living politician. Some legacy.
If you all start saving CO2 how else are we going to drown polar bears? Have you any idea how many defenceless children get eaten every year? will no-one think of the kids?!...
Plus with rising sea levels we can sink Norfolk.. come on people, burn those fossil fuels!
whether you think piracy is a crime/civil tort/great fun. the simple fact is that no matter how many millions are spent developing DRM/securom/rootkit/insert liberty invading bollocks here/... that the combined powers of the worlds nefarious geeks will have it beat at some point.
if it's digital and can be played/listened to/viewed, it can be copied. end of.

Use the bloody window
As a fellow ex-OOW (and still a Hydro surveyor) more than one "old man" used to forever shout at the baby bridge teams to "look out the bloody window". People get sucked into staring at a computer screen when closest points of danger could clearly be seen, both in ships and cars.

Kind Regards
########"
been hanging for this phone for ages. decent interface, good screen, keyboard, memory expansion all in the one package. so off to vodafone for me.... can't help but feel their current financial crisis is driving their stock more than similarity to the N97. After all, every other region of T-mob is stocking it.... you can follow the saga on xda developers here

Shame T-mobile have bottled it and will not be giving us a "vario 5"... off to vodafone as a result.
T-Mobile muck it up
they would have been far better releasing the vario 5 /Touch Pro 2 (which they now inform me they have cancelled after keeping us hangin about for ages) good screen, easy memory expansion and good keyboard all in a neat package. Off to vodafone as a result!

Surely this should have caused the NRA to go to DEFCON WOPR?
I don't wish to be misunderstood
Get out, you amoral money grasping hag.
Stop the charade about "well, it was in the rules", that's up there with "I was only following orders". Which, on reflection, is apt for someone who has lead the biggest assault on civil liberties on the Islands since Operation Sealion. Does she really think it appropriate to spend our money on those items? Does she hell. It is simply viewed as what's owed to them. That's why they maximise their "allowances" in this manner. Stop patronising us.
I have not laughed so hard since I heard Gordon Braun state "it was a personal matter".. Did you not know comrade? There are no personal matters anymore. Everything is subject to scrutiny. Your emails, your browsing habits (thats got to be a goldmine for the tabloids in the Timney household). Failure to comply indicates terrorist sympathies, as does criticism of the Junta. You shall finally reap what you have sown.
Get out the lot of you, take your £550 sinks, your second incomes for partners/mistress' who pretend to work for you, your allowance for a second home 5 mins from your first, your years severance pay for losing an seat in the great gravy train that is parliament and simply FOAD.
You will be remembered with more vitriol, loathing and disgust than any living politician. Some legacy.
Stop kids getting eaten!
If you all start saving CO2 how else are we going to drown polar bears? Have you any idea how many defenceless children get eaten every year? will no-one think of the kids?!...
Plus with rising sea levels we can sink Norfolk.. come on people, burn those fossil fuels!
They should fear the counter attack more
a dirty dozen BOFHs could screw the country far more than the anarchists have managed in a century.
be afraid
be very afraid.
on you rmarks...
last one to the trough is a loser
They aren't?
you mean the welsh don't already have them? they're allowed to roam free? unchecked? unsupervised? oh the horror! will no-one think of the sheep?
and put the cards in comic sans, they won't look any sillier.
it matters not
whether you think piracy is a crime/civil tort/great fun. the simple fact is that no matter how many millions are spent developing DRM/securom/rootkit/insert liberty invading bollocks here/... that the combined powers of the worlds nefarious geeks will have it beat at some point.
if it's digital and can be played/listened to/viewed, it can be copied. end of.
