IT is insane that they think they can stop torrenting.

But the big issue is why are movies on ITunes $24,99, when you can go out and buy brand new, new release movies from places like BigW for under $20, Surely if they don't have to produce, package, ship, wholesale then retail an actual DVD, then the actual cost of the movie should come down significantly. If these stupid movie studios charged $5 to download a DVD quality movie, then many, many people less would pirate them.

Spot on. The other issue is the format - I bought Star wars on VHS back in the day. Then the THX edition. Then the DVD and so forth. Pretty f**king stupid to pay for the same content over and over again... if they had an online model where you bought the rights to the movie and they would let you download new remuxes then I doubt anyone would pirate anything. I think the phone market (iphone/android) has got it nailed - charge a very low price to tonnes of people rather than charging a high amount and having much less users..

Stupid industries hanging onto an outdated business model is whats happening. Industrial Revolution 2.0

see i disagree there. why would anyone feel inclined to pay for something they already get for free when there's no incentive to do so? particularly these days when unlimited broadband has become common place. i mean since i realised that tpg changed my plan to an un-metered one, ive started downloading blu-ray rips of movies which are usually between 4 and 8 GB. last month i used about 350GB in downloads alone.

the only way i see movie or tv piracy decreasing is if pay tv became cheaper. and if a ticket to the cinema wasnt 20-f**king-dollars

But Pete, most movies we download are crappy rips and cams/screeners.

I am talking about the movie studios making movies available at or near cinema release time in 720p for $5-$10 and you OWN it.

It depends how fussy you are with quality though I suppose. I have 24" monitors and most movies I download look plain awful compared with 720p content.

i stopped downloading cams and screeners a while ago. now i just wait for 720p rips.

i understand what youre saying andrew and i sort of understand the appeal of it too, but i just dont see it happening. the entertainment industry in general is just too hungry to string every last cent out of something to lower prices that drastically.

and neither has the legal community... logic and common sense is not applicable to the modern community

Nick, I know this is getting a little OT, but WorkCover (as you would know) are def one of them....over lawyered and underbrained!!

I've just invented 2 new words, lol

so the galaxy s3 release this morning.

no super amoled HD

same 8mp camera

no faster cpu

same ram

doesnt even look like they released it with ICS..

the nexus and the one x look better..

was sold on it pre-release but not sure now.

thoughts?

It has a quad core cpu, higher res screen than the GSII, and ships with ICS (obviously with a Touchwiz skin)

Tell you what, they (Samsung) did a bloody good job of creating speculation and hype up till the release...

I was sold on the s3 as soon as I read the first bit of info & specs in the Samsung unpacked app this morning. Would love to get one but still fair bit of time left on my contract - so will wait out till something better/newer arrives.

Big fan of the new handset shape - much less iphone-ish, reminded me a lot of the nexus from first glance. Quite cool new features from the looks of the reviews.

From what you list in your post it doesnt sound like any improvement over the S2 - but that's really not the case.

Definitely ICS - they'd be pretty silly to release it with GB...

Some people aren't big fans of TouchWiz either = but hey it's Android - install a different launcher... flash it...

One X is pure awesome.

Both phones will have their pros and cons. At the end of the day they are the best of the best latest droid mobs available.

Having run the S2 for a year now - I'd grab the S3 for sure. The S2 has been pretty flawless!

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
