I notice that noone asked HOW AF1 was a target. Was that from a SAM or an Air-to-air missle? The thing is a flying tank with an escort of 4 f-16's. This is pure spin because he's a coward.
When the broadband industry was young, there was no peer to peer at all. People read email and web pages, occasionally using FTP. You could get away with 200 customers per T1. Then Napster happened, the business model got blown all to shit and broadband was not longer profitable. This is an attempt to TOS the people actually using the most bandwidth. Copyright is the excuse. Encrypt your stuff and don't worry about it.
I'll be the first to admit that I am disappointed by many movies, but minutes? This movie could have kicked ass, but you'll never know if you left "minutes" into it.
Since when is the late 60's the classic period of science fiction? I would call the classic science fiction era the 30's - early 50's. This Zelazny hobbit wannabe stuff has it's merit, I suppose, but classic science fiction? Heinlein is rolling over in his grave.
A: Why use a case in this situation?

We could all be forced to "make-do" with applications and tools we develop ourselves when the commercially availible ones suck, but that would require effort, I suppose. As for business ethics, that's sorta like the Sasquatch, everyone's heard of it but no one can prove it exists.

So what if it's windows only right now? It's supposed to be half the size of regular mp3, if it's any good it will get adopted as a standard and the open source community will figure out a way to use it. People on this board are too quick to condemn progress because it's on the "wrong" platform. Progress is good, regardless of who it benefits.
Try the "resume" button next time. That worked for a couple DVD's I got that wouldn't get off the title menu. I had the same problem with the patriot before I figured that out.
I don't think you understand the complaint about Microsoft, but don't worry, most people that have it don't either. What qualifies him as 'cool' I suppose is that he does more than worry about his speech patterns and if he sounds "like a flamer". I don't expect you to understand, but if you like I will try to explain it better.
Well then by all means discount everything else redeeming about the guy. I assume you are qualified to make that judgement because everyone thinks you're the man, right? Fucking elitist bullshit.
I suppose all that time he wasn't spending conforming to your standard of cooth he was building a multimillion dollar software company. Too bad he doesn't talk as cool as you, but then again you are probably the assistant manager at a discount carpet outlet or something. I bet he wouldn't trade lives with you.
Add to that that you made this comment anonymously, and I'd say that you have very little that anyone is this forum wants to really hear anyway.
Dear ask Slashdot-
I really want to be on Slashdot. How can I get on Slashdot to get some free publicity?
Tripe.
Here's one for next week.
Dear Ask Slashdot-
What ever happened to actual news for nerds, stuff that matters, or legitimate questions?
If nothing else, this would really change the Road Warrior. From "ker-chunk ker-chunk" to "ker-leaf ker-leaf" in the opening sequence at the very least. It would also remove the wonderful Aussie pronunciation, "Guzzelean"
Cell phone users drive worse than drunks, by a long shot. I want to build a mobile one and attach it to my motorcycle.

Incredible! The worst movie of the year and it's only the 8th of January. You should be on Siskel and Ebert. (PS- that tint thing- it's called a cinematic device.)
Someone is gonna figure out how to charge me for viewing advertising. Or better yet, an EULA on ads that obligates me to buy the product.
This sorta reminds me of the Heinlien story "Lif-line", where a scientist invents a machine that reports a person's time of death down to the second and the life insurance companies sue him. The judge in that story says something to the effect of "Just because you have been able to make money off of people in the past does not mean the legal system should gaurantee you ability to make it in the future". It's a shame you only see that kind of clear thinking in fiction from the 1930s.

Actually, it seems more like surrepticiouly installing a camera in the guy's house.
So they can develop two chunks of hardware. They are supposed to be a software company.
Then, my brother, you have not been paying attention.

Your upstream provider. AT&T will get a cease and desist rather than @home and you'll get shut off.
Why is it that none of you Nazi fucks can spell?
I'll save you 299.98 pages. They're really fucking big.
Do you have even the slightest idea what kind of hardware upgrade this would require on most ISP's?
