I was watching it three days ago.

I'm not at uni yet. See other thread.

In logic, a statement can be either true or false. I can make the statement “This statement is false AND time travel is NOT possible”. This statement has to be either true or false. For it to be true, BOTH parts have to be true. Let’s examine this case: If it’s true, both parts must be true, includi...

Hell, the acting was far better than most of the stuff that gets renewed over and over again.

I thought this was about something else. I personally didn't even get by the first half of the pilot of "The Event" so I'm surprised it even got commissioned. Think yourself lucky you got a season or two out of it because you were probably the only person watching it by the end. They only had the c...

I guess they were trying not to associate their show with penises, for public image reasons or some shit

Fuck Syfy. They canceled "Eureka". If they bring back The Event, I don't give a shit about your stupid Eureka. :biggrin: It sounds too exciting for me. Think Fawlty towers. Then think Eastenders. Now disregard both of those things and Google "The Event". Americans cancelled Twin Peaks. Anything tas...

The most consistently brilliant TV series I've ever seen and it was bloody cancelled. Americans make me sick. :nono: I'm dying to know what happens next. T...

EA, you own the TV you watch programs on, but you don't own the programs. However, the picture on the screen at any given moment exists only as a combination of states of the bits of matter that make up the screen I do own. :dunno: So you want to get into solipsism to raise the tone of this thread?...

Software is owned by the owner and simply owning a disk doesn't make you the owner. It is 'loaned out on licence' according to various strictures preventing things like reverse-engineering and unlocking the encryption. Do I own the physical matter that makes up my hard-disk drive on which this soft...

No, but really, though?

Do you legally own the matter of which it consists, or that specific arrangement of that matter, or that specific arrangement of some matter?
