Can a band sustain itself without a record label, while still releasing music in an album format digitally?
Look at Opsound, the Internet Archive Netlabels, and Nine Inch Nails. If you mean financially sustain themselves without a record label, then the first two are pretty much ruled out because most of the music on them is non-commercial.
Due to trademark issues, the ??? can't be displayed on Slashdot anymore. Microsoft trademarked the ???, because they saw that most users of Windows wrote that in their support emails.
I hope I'm not falling into a sarcasm trap, but most GNU/Linux distros don't use the same partition system as Windows. It's much more convenient actually.
For example, if you read the BBC online, you probably know that Hugo Chavez shook the Spanish King's hand recently after their previous spat. Hardly Earth shattering news. Yet you probably won't be aware that Colombian President Alavaro Uribe is under investigation for possible involvement in the planning of a massacre by right wing paramilitaries. The general trend is that bad stories about allies are either ignored or only reported in passing, whereas those about official enemies such as Chavez are accentuated and repeated ad infinitum.
The key is to stop these companies while they're still starting up. If you let them grow, it will be much harder to stop them, because they'll gain enough money to powerfully drive their political agendas (censorship regimes.)
No, the problem is that the average Chinese doesn't care. China is like a mix of 1984 and Brave New World. There are strict laws, and people are too caught up in the high life of capitalism to pay attention.
Pfft. Back in my day, we had to use shovels. 'Course, this being Slashdot, mentioning the words "manual labor" will probably get me a big fat "-1, Troll".
A lot of people want the government to be your mom and make your choices for you.
That's the main problem. Parents have to learn that they have to actually parent their kids, instead of telling the government to be their babysitter. I'm not saying that all parents are bad, there are many good parents that raise their kids well, but there are also those who "don't have enough time for their kids" or something like that. When you spend time being with your kids and teaching them life's lessons, that is thinking of the children.
The federal reserve note is the most powerful form there is. You can get access to anything if you have enough of them. Unfortunately, many people use them for the wrong reasons (like bribing politicians, though the politicians are just as bad.)
Pfft. Back in my day, I had to manually write out HTTP commands on a sheet of paper and mail it in for 31 cents. The processing time was about 2-3 weeks, and I was lucky to get uncorrupted data back. Sometimes if I was really lucky, they'd print it out on nice paper instead of having some guy with chicken-scratch handwriting write the response.

It's probably like that in Scandinavian countries, where Linux originated (Finland, to be specific).

This will help us in creating more accurate simulated images of these animals.
Well, you won't be making profit, but those companies will be losing profit.
Well, it's easier to ask a library director than to ask every taxpayer who paid for the computers in that library.

Oxygen is part of KDE4, not Linux, you insensitive clod!

So in the future, we'll all realize Twitter was a great philosopher or something and we'll all mourn.
I 3 the future
Ha! I 4 the future.
Ha. Reminds me of Body Melt.
Just more reason not to use GIFs.
So is a nuclear bomb, so is poison, so is a taser. (Not trolling, I'm all for legalizing drugs, but just had to say my point.)

Can you take the guns out of the state without any paperwork?
this makes me happy to be a gun owner... when the sh1t goes down, you better be ready..
While I'm pro-gun (but do also support ethical gun control), I think that this mentality is the same as theirs.
Then it becomes sexercise.
And sadly, I'll never notice you even came in the house to do so, because I'll be in the basement replying to other Slashdot comments.
They're just trying to extort money^W^W make a good business partnership with the news media companies.
