Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-close-with-a-matrix dept.

admiral2001 writes "This article from NewScientist.com details the most mass market venture into copy protected CDs. Namely, NSync's new CD will be released in a least 3 different versions (with different copy protection techniques). Also, one of the types has (small) labelling saying that the CD cannot be played on computers."

    I'm not sure whether this deserves a (+1, Funny), or (-1, Troll). Probably both.

    Now THAT's karma. And idiocy for choosing a FuckedCompany like AdForce to work for. Can you tell us how banners make money again?

    Jay, I suppose you can trade in your Mercedes for a couple more months of food at Mickey D. But I guess finding a place for shelter would be a problem.

    BUT, when you mean "the majority of 15 year old girls", I don't think I can disagree much.

    Funny isn't it! No it isn't. Calling someone a fag isn't funny, or insightful. Ever.

    I know when I was a 14 year old boy (and frankly, listening to music every bit as insipid as n'suck) I used a computer to play CDs.

    Gee...when I was 14, CD players in computer were not even imagined (from an end-user point of view) - then again, the CD was only two years old.

    Damn...makes me feel old.

    Alright, I admit, I'm only posting this because I need to watch how POST works. Slashdot's the first site I thought of that had forms and whatnot... go ahead, mod me down.
