I would guess that this "no chargeback" trend did not necessarily start at the dealer level. It sounds more like someone finding-slash-creating a market through exploiting business concerns.

Seeing cops are already being told to consider a scale "drug paraphernalia", making an effort to conceal it would surely make this even more suss.

I'm scared of flying anyway, so I guess the fear wouldn't be a microexpression.

Pet owners, mums and suspicious spouses.

It's not just urine that shows up under blacklight.

And of course the lip looks slightly thicker than normal, which means there's more dust and small bits left after sweeping.

Or you could run a single pass over your disk multiple times?

Sorry, I happen to love 2) and 3), although I doubt ON Networks, NASA, ESA et alt. would like their work to be called 'dicking around'. I wonder, have you ever even looked at the Hubblecast, or shows like the one about the history of gaming, the name of which currently eludes me? There is a ton of good content out there.

Besides, neither ad hominem nor pirating can really be considered 'cool', but thanks for trying.

I have to admit I run both Miro and Joost (and Media Central and Front Row, because there's not a single app that can do it all properly), and I'm in two minds.

I like Joost for the fact that it's supported by major studios and I can watch professionally made content on demand. I'm not bothered by DRM or proprietary protocols in that regard. If I want to watch Breakfast At Tiffany's, I can. I'm more annoyed at the lack of HD content.

I like Miro for the fact that I can access podcasts of all kinds, original and good content in high definition if I want (I prefer DL.TV on Miro rather than Joost). I tend to delete what I have watched, so once again DRM is not an issue, and I don't care about the protocol used.

It's TV. It's just another way of delivering non-interactive content to users. Miro are doing a good job, as are Joost. As are Virgin Media and their on demand content on my cable box, for that matter.

To me it's not one versus the other, but "why the dickens can't I have one that does everything???"

And here was me, cynical old bar steward, hoping the whole LOL* would die sooner rather than later...

Now that is a completely stupid thing to say. These things tend to become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Guess there's an age difference between you and me, but I found the transparent DVD much more exciting...
