Can someone familiar with copyright explain something to me: How can they cite damages when they don't have a product? I get how damages are calculated when something that is intended for sale is pirated. Every download is considered one sale lost. In the real world it's almost inconceivable that th...

I fear I'm somewhat late, so I'll have to do reverse temporal causality again.

Have had a happy birthday.

"These tunnels aren't on the New York City sewer maps -- weird. I have no information on what you might be getting into. This seems worth following up". Although as mentioned before I'm not sure that makes much sense, since that's on your way into the main facility from the sewer grate - so the tun...

Greetings all, I Just joined in the conversation to put my two cents worth in about the plans to change the MJ12 sewer labs. It's my understanding that MJ12 was kidnapping homeless people off the streets of NYC and doing experiments on them. If that is indeed true, then wouldn't they want to make s...

If you're going to pay, consider looking for an auction, or at least non-retail, site. Ebay, for example, has a collection of the entire series (less Mask of Eternity) for seven dollars in a non-auction. Mind you, check before you pay that it's the version you want. Given that you're trying to get K...

Bobby, I'll take a look at that. The new machine is fully capable of playing DVDs from the old machine, provided they have been finalized. The problem is that I've got a bunch of disks that are not. If, for example, I was recording an all day marathon of something I was more concerned with switching...

My DVD player-recorder up and died on me, which has left me with a bunch of DVDs I never got around to finalizing that are now useless. I'd like to make them not-useless. Does anyone know of a way to do that? The machine that recorded them was a JVC, if that matters. - Also, as an aside, is there a ...

So, yesterday I mentioned X-Men Origins: Wolverine , later on yesterday I realized that it was HBO free preview time. I went to see what was on HBO and what to my wondering eyes should appear but X-Men Origins: Wolverine coming on in 20 minutes. Two years ago when it came out I thought it was a good...

Piece of advice from bad science fiction movie (probably Post Impact): the best password is one you can remember. Ideally we'd all have a unique password for every place we ever visit and each of those passwords would be a random string of numbers and letters (and other assorted symbols where possib...

I was asked last night whether I'm becoming disillusioned with movies. Yeah, yeah I am. More than somewhat. I'm not that hard to please. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time , for example, is not by any stretch of the imagination a great movie. It isn't high art, it isn't the pinnacle of cinema or an...

I actually meant to start a new movie thread ages ago, for a value of ages roughly equal to how long ago things like Tron: Legacy , Skyline and Season of the Witch were in theaters. (Short version, I don't recommend any of them, but I have ideas on how the first two could be made, if not good, then ...

I don't know if it works outside of the United States, and I don't know if it has the lastest ones, but Hulu's entire purpose is to allow you to watch tv shows for free online. Is Fringe in season 3? If it is, and if you can use Hulu, then you can go there right now and watch the season finale as we...

You could have done:

or even:

as upside down typing was once written.

But no, you had to go to war over it.

Happy birthday to the classicist from New Zealand, may there be cake (which is not a lie) for you in your favorite form.

Not something I would have watched given the choice, but I have a sister. Which is also the reason that if anyone is having trouble remembering "Rainbow Bright and the Star Stealer" I would probably recognize their description of that.
