I remember the story that came up wherein we learn that Microsoft shills out a percentage of each Zune sale to the recording labels and RIAA or whatever...
Wasn't the purpose of those fees to ALLOW these sorts of transfers? Are the groups backing out now?
This is downright stupid. I feel really bad for anyone who bought the damned thing now.

Except you're not running unix/linux/macOS and therefore completely insecure and really stupid for not using my OS. Oh god what a tard for not doing things this way, that way, the other way, blah blah blah./sarcasm.
If it works, it works. Simple as that. It works for me, the UI isn't so bad that you can't learn it, the format can be changed, you can still save as earlier compatible versions with not much issue, so I agree with you - no problem.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious bookmark of 'free news galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite feed, suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour.
"'Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my free news source!"
Quoth the server, "404".
follow the leader. "Oh the rest of the world is using it, so should we" blah blah blah. The military uses it: Fine, good for them. Some scientists used it: Let them, it's part of their job to decide upon a measurement system at the beginning of their project time. The general public does NOT need it: We've used Imperial measurement for years and it's suited us just fine. Why even waste our time and energy?
alot of complaints about the horrible upload/download issues with bit torrent resulting in downloads that take hours when they could take minutes through a ftp. I think these people are missing the key point behind bit torrent - it's not to make your download faster but to make it easier for the distributor to... well... distribute. To that end, this tech seems fairly useful. The more people who have the file the more people can distribute the file in the end. If these people are pure leechers then they'll be caught and IP banned by any respectable torrent site. And the cycle continues.
Better yet... Require more sciences and mathematics in HS. LOTS more.
All we hear about is parents whining "Why can't my child read? Why can't my child read?!"
Reading is important, but getting your hands on science is far better than reading about science. Make the sciences a more important part of a students day-to-day and they'll be more interested.
I play the game to be able to do things that I'd never be able to do in real life since they... practically never happen.
You save some random schmoe in the game and get a reward.
You can't do stuff like that reliably in real life.
I don't play games to emulate what my life is - I play games to escape from the tedium of getting up at 7 to go to work or class. Is that too much to ask?
I am seeing lots of flawed logic here.
Many of you assume that since you prefer an open-source OS and generally find it far superior to Windows that everyone else should.
The problem is that the majority of the people in the world do NOT share this view point.
From HP's viewpoint is FAR simpler to buy a large number of licenses from Microsoft at a cheap price and sell it on ALL their machines - it makes good business sense. It's not like you can't get rid of it and install your own OS on top of it. NOTHING prevents you from doing that.
You all need to think about it as HP's bottom line - returning the cost of the OS for the few percentage of people who want to is far cheaper than buying licensnes from Microsoft individually and then charging people the full price. Simple as that.
RIAA Then: You must pay us royalties to allow the use (fair or not!) of our music!
RIAA Now: Crap! Lawsuits aren't working anymore! We need another form of income... AHA! Those bastard, good for nothing artists are getting royalties for every song! hmm... No more royalties for them, it should all go into our pockets! BRILLIANT!
The only reason a group like this continues to exist is because average joe-consumer doesn't care about paying for 15-20$ for a CD which is worth (let's say conservatively) about 6-7$.
All they (the consumer as a whole, most of the people at Slashdot and other Music afficionados (sp?) find it ridiculous because there is some background knowledge.
makes when I'm at the desk at work that drives everyone crazy...
I used to think it was my phone sync'ing up or receivng a text message or something. Lately I've noticed that it's making the sound on a daily basis and at times when I'm not receiving anything. I'm not talking like 5-10 seconds here - last night it lasted a full on 45 seconds. Maybe a minute. I had to pull it away from the speaker before I lost my mind.
Stupid Razr.
Guess I know the cause of that now...
Slashdot Mirror
Google "French Military Victories" and click I'm Feeling Lucky.
I'm not 100% on if this is in the same vein as "Miserable Failure" but it seems to be. So clearly there are still bugs to work out.
How much he's getting paid to say that...

SHHH! Stop giving them ideas!

On the PC it feels like a completely different game... Especially with the recent patch - everything runs swimmingly.

Prices of WoW gold skyrocket 300 fold.
That's so ridiculously stupid that the oil companies MUST be doing it... I mean they'd be fools not to!
Doesn't apply when it stands in the way of corporate profit.

Choose 2, you don't get all or even three. Clean, Cheap, Safe, Plentiful Sometimes you won't even get two though.
