I am proud of having been a contributor of the Doom9 forums. Go and pay you tribute: they demonstrated to the industry once again that DRM is a sick idea and will NEVER work.
P.S. Now I can go and buy a BD recorder. Just as I did with the first DVD Writer after deCSS.

They want to CONTROL how it's used as well. (They must be Socialists/democrats.)
They are not socialists nor commonists nor democrats: They are "OLIGOPOLISTS", the leading edge of the system and thats's much worse. Extending their logic of "control" the next step is to automatically have your ISP auto-sue you for not following their advice. If given the possibility those oligopolists would go as far as automagically judge and fine you the appropriate damages (3fantastrillion dollars) taking them directly from your bank accounts.
And this just for thinking of watching LOST which, BTW, is pure horseshit...
Obviously, we must stop using using pansy C/C++/Java/Ruby/etc... languages and go back to writing everything in assembler. Then boot times will rock!
Duh.
Maybe you intended for a funny, but i'd rather give insightful if I had points. I can't forget the wonderful playing experience with ELITE on Commodore 64... and those days it was all machine code!
Nowadays the philosophy is that you can afford to be a sloppy programmer and use absurd languages (VirtualBasic?) just because Moore's law will eventually compensate... given a year or two.
I know it's troll feeding but.... According to your sick reasoning you should be fried on a electric chair just for driving a car, since you could potentially kill someone.
First: As a matter of fact I personally know several of these subjects and I have to deal from time to time with their paranoia and mental deficiency. So I didn't need a research to start with; I have unfortunately personal experience.
Secondly: In your post you are equaling piracy with drug consumption, that is not only offtopic as you say but also is pleasing to the media industry wich used more than once this association to make it look bad.
Finally: Don't blame the article because it is "NEW". You should bring actual data to conterclaim its findings.
In conclusion: Then next time try to equate piracy with pedofilia and terrorism, just to close the loop and make RIAA happy.
Hello APOLOGIST. I suppose you blame the prosecution of simple possession. But possession exist in order to consume. I doubt someone keeps hash just to look at it....
And when it gets consumed and abused it is SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN that it DAMAGES THE BRAIN. And I am talking just about hash wich is one of the lightest drugs out there.
Of course I want to emphatize the fact that it is proven by scientists working on facts rather than some pot smoking retard glorifying the miracles of his marijuana crap on a personal website or blog.
So when consumption it's done on a mass scale you get a society made up of amotivated morons with reduced mental capabilities. Isn't that more harmful than allowing piracy?
If you find yourself with a PC fucked up by vista oem install and need a upgrade to a sane OS I would consider that as a viable option. Specially if there is a copy of OSX lying around
If they sell you "xMbps bandwith unlimited 24/7" and they plan to cap you then they have been committing at least misleading advertising. In my personal point of view this is more like a scam.
Want additional proof? Send comcast a letter that states "I am going to pay with "ulimited money transfers" and write in the small print underneath that the payment is capped to a maximum of 9.99$/month due to bank congestion. I guess they won't find it funny.
* The strange feeling of knowing that all your rented files are now labelled with your domain signature and noone can steal them... and that's strange since you know that you don't really own them in the first place. * The absolute scrooge feeling that unlike CDs when you die noone could inherit any digital purchase from you. * The thrill of having to authorize your equipment on the net while hoping that your provider is not blocking the process * The joy of having to talk to someone in the industry just in case something goes wrong. * The final added incumbence of having to download the same shit once again but this time DRM free from P2P because your files won't work anyway at your friend's place and you really need them to party!
Once you've acquired a file, you could play it on any of your devices -- if it couldn't be passed directly from one DECE-ready device to another, you'd be allowed to download additional copies. And when you're away from home, you could stream the file to any device with a DECE-compatible Web browser."
Sadly this is hardly innovative at all.
I can do it with any song on any CD I have bought since late 1982... and not just being limited to my "domain" I actually enjoyed swapping them with friends, lenting them and selling those I didn't like (of course same goes for DVD's).
Guess these people need more than a bit of reality check before thinking into bullshitting their costumers. And if that is where the future of America is heading I see sad days coming.
But today, many wireless administrators are focusing more attention on scaling capacity to address a surge in end users and the multimedia content they consume

Torgo's Executive Powder is an elaborate running gag throughout the film in retaliation against the Fox Network for its alleged mishandling and eventual cancellation of Futurama.
Actually... the plastics on the Macbook line are very prone to damage, so prone that they are exchanged under the applecare warranty, no question asked.
I already ditched 2 keyboards and one bottom case from my macbook... I think that aluminium could be more eco-friendly in this case... specially because it can be recycled with ease.
Because their research showed 'many users have a hard time differentiating between legal and illegal content online.
I have this problem everytime. It's hard for me to discriminate between a DVD rent at 4$ and a DRMed download at 9.99$ and still come out believing it's not a plain robbery. Good MPAA that's the way to go...
Slashdot Mirror
According to various sources 95% of the american blacks vote for obama.
95% is a percentage similar to those you can archieve in "free" elections in CUBA, CHINA, Saddam's IRAQ and several other democratic nations.
Is this a step forward for america?

Today's music, books and film are archived in proprietary formats
A book in DRM? Do they give you a barcode reader to decrypt the pages? Or maybe special glasses? :)

It's great, maybe just a bit expensive.

This could just as easily be connecting a hip-mounted sensor to your Nokia.
Why? It's already integrated into the latest phones... here you go: http://betalabs.nokia.com/blog/2008/05/09/nokia-step-counter-beta-launched-track-how-much-you-walk-or-run-during-the-day/
And on the plus side being DRM free it works with all the brands of shoes. Don't be afraid it won't work with your Puma or Adidas or Lotto...
Dear Cary, in order to get credibility posting on /. you really need to create an account. Otherwise it's not going to be funny to bash you!.
Thanx
It gives you:
* The strange feeling of knowing that all your rented files are now labelled with your domain signature and noone can steal them... and that's strange since you know that you don't really own them in the first place.

I guess it's really worth the money...

'What they [Google, Vonage, and others] would like to do is to use my pipes free. But I ain't going to let them do that..
This guy is stealing "water" from Google, Vonage and many others in order to sell his otherwise unuseful pipes.
In my humble opinion he's so hypocrite that he should be shot dead for being such a axxxole.

Here it is after the fixing.

Imaginary property is a really bad thing.
Time to use the "TORGO'S - executive powder":
Torgo's Executive Powder is an elaborate running gag throughout the film in retaliation against the Fox Network for its alleged mishandling and eventual cancellation of Futurama.

Err ... isn't the base principle of string theory that there is an infinite number of spacetimes ie. universes out there?
Ah! That explains why I can't seem to find the ideal mate in this particular universe ;) The theory has to be right!
It's all from fear that terrorists would use pictures taken to plan an attack.
And I thought Google earth was just for that...

youtube docet ;) plenty of movies to watch.
