You have to think in the positive about this. This is great for us geeks. It gives us one more thing to do with the system. Asthetic modding (including repainting the name to Revolution) will be all the rage!
I really wish I had mod points to mod you up. This is pure FUD spreading, using lies. As much as I dislike the current administration, spreading easily disabled straw-man bullet points is not the way to undo the damage.
how the 9/11 Commission took the goverment to task for its ineptitude
We have vastly different views on what the term "taking to task" means. Methinks the current attitude of corporate punishment in our society has dulled your sense of justice.
If we end up spending $10/gal on gasoline it won't be because of climate. It'll be because of shortage. If anything acting on the current climate changes will reduce the usage of gasoline, delaying such a steep price.
"The music industry is broadly unhappy with the fixed pricing and lack of subscription options..."
and
I don't hear too many people (myself included) in the mainstream complaining about the options
See, this is the problem. There is a skew in the Annoyance Factor. In a truly capitalistic society, we must strike a balance. The annoyance must be equal on both sides for everyone to be happy (or... unhappy). This "sweet spot," if you willl, is called The Grumpy Point. Once the grumpy levels out, equilibrium can be restored.
Since most people don't know that shit like this happens on a regular basis, once it starts getting reported regularly, the news media is going to pick up and run with it.
Don't worry, after a couple months it will become such a beaten dead horse, everyone will think "Oh, this stuff happens all the time. My chances of having my identity stolen are next to nil." And the notice gets tossed in the trash never to be worried about again.
Ok, the next time you link pr0n on the internet, please have the decency to link to something worthwhile! I didn't see one nipple. I will never get those 3 minutes back.
The USA is a perfect example of why Corporations dabbling in politics is a Bad Thing(TM). Corporations have a lot of money to bribe-er.. lobby the government with, which can get laws enacted that benefit them and not the average citizen.
I'd like to hear your suggestions for an environment in which no amount of training or nagging would get rid of jokes and movies filling up in-boxes (if not for limits).

I don't personally feel a need to know within 10 minutes whenever he takes a piss
I think you missed the fact that he left his friend in the hospital and went home for 24 hours before coming forward. Most of the time when you shoot someone in the face and then dodge police for 24 hours, people accuse you of destroying evidence.

If you don't want that C600 anymore, I'll take it off your hands for you. I'll even pay shipping.
You know, if you locked your son in an 8x8' underground bunker, I bet he'd be safe from terrorists.
Even making the giant leap to direct inverse correlation between the two, where do you draw the line between freedom and safety?
What the average slashdotter is thinking.
Sorry, I don't have the time to read your very long post. But I liked your first 3 paragraphs, so I'll mod you up.

Eventually the artists will just have to get together and make an Anti-DRM Save the Music album. Unfortunately, it will be copy protected.

I would've never heard of Joan Miro if it hadn't been for Google changing their logo.
On the other hand, as I missed the logo change, I would never have heard about Joan Miro if not for the lawsuit. Food for thought.

Trust me, there's a whole lot of people
there are a whole lot of people...
If I had mod points, I'd mod you insightful. Why? Because you've taught me a valuable lesson today.
Don't read slashdot while you're eating lunch.

What do you have against referral links? I bet you didn't know about that book until he referred you to it.
You're kidding. That's the number to my luggage!

It's not April Fool's Day where YOU live, you insensitive clod!
Awesome. That is my theater. Thanks for the heads up.
+1 Informative for you!
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Perhaps we should all have the same opinions (as you?).

All I need to say for an explanation is: D.M.C.A.

Some bookstores and public libraries have public readings. You can have your good novel and your drunkness too.
Best of both worlds!
You forgot:
