@Kowl Slaw: ...haha, fat chance...

@Chronophasic: You must be the pride of [subject name here]

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: Funny though, that captain slow would be in what is, in effect, one of the slowest jets you'll ever see.

@Venix: it's only for Google earth not maps. I forget the keyboard shortcut, but google it. The controls are a bit dodgy though.

@Tycho Vhargon: And that is why i love the brits.

Everyone here seems to think cash for clunkers is about the environment, whereas we all know the cost of beating the elements into submission till they form the shape of a car is just as if not more important than the MPG of a car over it's entire lifetime.

@Torabo: In these cases they put the guy on 'gardening leave' for a while. Basically they pay him to sit there and do nothing, so the competition can't gain any timely advantage from it.

@hybrid92: On the move. Don't worry, I had to google it too.

@jspamax: To be honest, this seems like a case where it's actually a convenient solution to playing the games you've bought and such, rather than straight out piracy. It seems that it's genuinely intended as a lifehack, even if the steps from this to piracy are few, that is not the intent of the article.

@SophT: Hmm... I'd say have a friend of yours buy it in the states, create an image of it for you to download, and then upload it to a filesharing site for you only, destroying the original media.

@Turael: I've been using GimmeSomeTune for a while. It'll also get lyrics when possible which is pretty nice.

@matrixclown: iTunes does that for you iirc. Check in the preferences.

@TheFu: That sounds both interesting and annoying. I don't like UNIX code because it's so cryptic. Maybe if I bothered to learn it properly and could leverage it as well as you seem to I'd like it more.

@TheFu: Thanks for reminding me of my hatred of regexps.

@Simonovski: Hmm, good point... Then again, if international brands are advertising on hulu, one could argue that the ad spend is somewhat justified in some cases... But that is a tenuous argument that's very dependant on circumstances.

@hengehog: Actually yes. The BBC provides it's content ad-free, courtesy of the TV-licencing fee UK-dwellers pay (145GBP a year), and that's what helps pay for iPlayer. So yeah, we'd rather you torrent the shows, at least that doesn't cost the Beeb money.

@RigAudio: Unknown fact about peach: she is cheap as hell... not gonna buy it.

@Protector one: Both ;)

@oogabubchub: Why? They're both mythological (not in the sense of their being fictional, and not trying to bait the christians in the audience, but they have an associated mythos), and art is wasteful and unreasonable by definition.

@Apollinarius: Browser choice isn't really a big thing for consumers. Why else would IE6 & 7 be in use? Not to mention, corporations have generally dropped tons of money into IE-based systems, and to be able to easily port some applications to mobile could make IE mobile a 'superior' choice for them.
