    Robbery: ditto on the major cliche.

    You're assuming people should be able to make better than ten thousand dollars revenue on making a thousand digital copies of a gig of information. It ain't fair, mate, and law or not people aren't taking it.

    Charge less than the time and effort it costs your customers to do it themselves at home, and reset your costs in line with whatever sales turn out to be. Just like every other industry, they'll get by, even if they can't continue to spend tens of millions turning out a new Britney Spears ever year or two.

  • OnPoint: Things I know,

    I/S, dude, never read the book of anything before seeing the movie.

    Things I know: It's late. Goodnight.

  • Hard News: Rockin',

    Everyone remember to be on the lookout for those radical terrorists over the solstice. They're bound to be thinking things you don't often think yourself and behaving in ways that are slightly disturbing when taken out of context.

    I mean, you're about a million times more likely to be troubled by the food and drink you consume in the next few days, but WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU!

    Reminiscent of Captain Underpants. Well done, Sir.

  • Hard News: The Best Country in the…,

    Psst, Craig, there's this thing called the Fallacy of the Excluded Middle.

    Money matters (thus all the spending), press matters (remember the worm?), policy matters (because some of us care), personal magnetism matters (because he looks honest), community support matters (because Bob explained it to me) and everything else gets lumped together as the X factor.

  • Hard News: Quite the Two-Step,

    Hmm. It appears I'm running for president of the USA, and my name is Dennis Kucinich. Why was I not informed? Surely the liberal media should love this man to pieces.

    What I haven't been able to find: how many skull and bones members this time around? They had it sewn up either way last time.

  • Hard News: Farce About,

    Music suggestions? Know Your Enemy.

    "Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission, ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite".


    More seriously though; how is it people don't know what a scientific theory is? How can people not believe in a thing which fits all the perceptible facts? Rhetorical questions, of course, it's the same way they believe in things with no perceptible facts whatsoever. FSM FTW.

  • Random Play: Hey, good lookin’,

    HD may simply result in a great deal more background scenery being on show. If one opens the angle a little, the level of detail remains constant.
    Small paintings show faces, large ones show mountain ranges.

    OTOH, once we can make out all the little winces and twitches better, they'll need a whole new quality of liar to fool us into voting for them. A constant gormless smile with dead eyes might not play so well either.

  • Hard News: Back in the mainstream,

    It's quite the hobby in Oz to literally write "Informal" on ones voting paper before boxing it; a bit of a rebellion against compulsory voting in races where only the norms can be represented.

  • Hard News: Maoriland Calling,

    Ah, copyright. One would hope people around here have heard of the concept of just doing away with it. Patents too.

    Other than to say you're not allowed to misrepresent yourself (by claiming something as yours that isn't) for commercial gain, as always.

    Leave us with trademarks, which still seem to improve society.
