Slashdot Mirror
Anti-Copying TV Technology Creeps Forward
An anonymous reader writes: " After CDs, then comes TV? Although the technologies
being spoken about are supposedly to prevent online sharing of television
content as digital network television is born, the extents of the
control being spoken of is alarming. When I purchase my next television recording device, will I be able to chose to record my
favorite show while I am away from home? Will I be able to record one show while watching another? Or will I be at the mercy
of the network ... only allowed to record should they *want* me to record. It could be possible to prevent the recording of first-run
shows, forcing either-or choices (and affecting ratings and advertising rates,) rather than allowing us to watch one, record another."

Wow! I just took the most violent shit of my life! It even looks like the largest shit I ever took in one sitting!
The shit consisted at first of a very gigantic piece of turd that was excruciating to pass and took several minutes. This was followed by a moderately sized shit that was easier to pass but was still painful. Then came at least 6 or 7 smaller turds, but still large compared to other shits I have taken.
I was lucky to use a high-flow toilet because the first turd barely went down after a flush. The rest of the turds and the toilet paper each got a flush of their own. It should be noted that the second and third flushes barely went down, just like the first.
The smell was difficult to handle, and needed a long and thorough spray of air freshener. I am considering purchasing a scented fragrance that will cleanse the air after each of my shits. This shit could have benefited greated with such an air freshener. The wipe was messy and used about half a roll. But it was cleaner than some of the other shits I have taken!
My anus still hurts from passing massive amounts of excrement so I am sitting on a pillow resting on my left ass cheek. Through careful consideration I rate this turd a..... 10!!!
Good-day to you sir and happy shitting!
I think these are $2 at the local Goodwill

You fucking pathetic little neo-nazi hippie with an itch in your rectum that can never be scratched.... enough.
Where else do you expect us to post comments that deal with Slashdot itself? It is the only place we can post so deal with it.

Yea, so you mean every post in the thread deserves -1 even though many many moderators who modded it up thought it was worth discussing?
Slashdot does not provide any forum to talk about slashdot itself, except on the rare occassions they post a bit on slashcode. So sometimes readers want to vent on the main page, so what? Enough people thought it was worth it. The real story was the viciousness of the moderation by the editors (everyone's theory, every post doesn't instantly turn to -1 in 3 seconds by normal means).
It's like if you voted for Bush, but the Supreme Court thought he was too dumb and made Gore the prez instead. Yea I know, this ain't a model U.N. or anything, but it just shows the treehouse mentality the editors have.
Get up off your fat sweaty ass and throw away your fucking TV.
Even offtopic posts can be interesting. If enough people find it interesting shouldn't THE COMMUNITY decide? When did slashdot become a dictatorship?
This has got to be the most amazing /. phenomenon ever! Rapidly approaching 500 comments ... Not on a frontpage article, no, on a post! Insightful comments at -1, interesting comments at -1, funny comments at -1 ... Something is breaking Slashdot, tearing it down before our very eyes ... and it looks like it's the editors themselves who are doing it! What will happen to confidence in /. being open and free? Don't miss this one, you've never seen anything like it! Check it out!
Give a man a fish and he eats for one day. Teach him how to fish, and though he'll eat for a lifetime, he'll call you a miser for not giving him your fish.
Terrorists can't threaten a country's freedom and democracy. Only lawmakers and voters can do that.
