God forbid he ever tries to sell media he's created. There you go again, actually respond to the argument please. How about you respond to my argument about intellectual property rights? I spend years programming something, and as soon as I license it to one person, it automagically entitles every punk with an internet connection to my work? No way. When people that "can't afford it" pirate software, "can't buy right now" becomes "won't ever buy." How about this. People respond to incentives (economically speaking here, seeing as we're talking about the demand for a good.) If the same good (or very similar substitute since I guess there are minor differences) is available at multiple prices, people are going to buy (or not in this case) at the lowest price available. That's market forces in action, you can't apply your morality and personal feelings to the market. In the market, people would live this out by buying the cheapest thing, not stealing the more expensive thing.

Barney's version: Well made, well acted. I kind of felt like it lacked direction though, not to mention being pretty depressing. 6/10. 50/50: Much different (and better) than I expected. Seth Rogen didn't ruin it at all (I find he tends to do that with serious movies) and I very much enjoyed it. 7.5/10

Well, from my shallow viewpoint it's a pity - I think most women look better in a dress of any kind than pants. But whatever they find more comfortable/fashionable...

I don't think you'll go back to an empty arena at all - likely your attendance will be good for a long time. Just means that the team might not necessarily be good for a few years.

Legal struggles over estates still happen when there's a will.

ahhhh

Yeah, I don't see Winnipeg making the playoffs this year either. They aren't really a bad team, they're just average. Problem is, there are a handful of "decent" teams all vying for the last few playoff spots. You have 15 teams in the conference. Pittsburgh, Washington, Boston, Buffalo, Tampa and Philly are all pretty much locks to make the playoffs imo. Ottawa and Florida are the only teams that have basically no chance to make the playoffs. So that leaves you with all of NYR, NYI, CAR, MTL, TOR, WPG and NJ fighting for those last two playoff spots.

oh

it's thanksgiving here so I have the day off too I don't think there's a holiday here for american thanksgiving though

When you buy a phone with that long contract, it's not just costing the amount you initially pay - you're paying for it over the term of the contract as well. So really, you can't buy an iphone for $200 at all.

In other news:

When there's money to be made, people are going to exploit something like this.

Works the same way as what RIM has already been doing with BBM.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Earthquake? Leafs beating the Senators 6-5 and almost wasting Kessel's hat trick? yeah i was at a party drunk last night score checking, i kept derping hard during the third period

I'd just like to remind everyone that discussing moderator action (including speculating on bans) isn't permitted.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

No child should ever have to endure a "beating" yes, but mild physical punishment is the most effective tool for discipline at a young age imo (like a light slap or spanking). After the age of 5 or 6 there are better punishments.

Aha but they didn't blow it :D

Lol yeah. Still, I can't believe we almost blew that lead. Gardiner has looked pretty shaky so far - reinforces my belief that some time in the A would do him good. And that way Franson could actually play..

Once again, saying this war produced "no" results is a gross simplification. It certainly has produced many results - not that the cost was worth the results, but there are positives. And of course, we don't know what might have been had the war not occurred..

0.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

yea, wheres the mention of all those billions going to the military industrial complex or of the patriot act? I was thinking more of afghan democracy, greatly improved infrastructure and quality of life, but okay.
