There's been an awful lot of discussion about what is or isn't simple, and people have gotten a pretty sophisticated notion of simplicity, but I'm not sure it has helped.

Unfortunately,/. sometimes sees a GPG-signed message as junk that fails to pass its bullshit "bullshit filter". Especially when you use SHA512 as the hash function.
Filter error: That's an awful long string of letters there.
So I read the pdf which appeared to me as a risk assessment of Wikileaks.org. It basically concluded that Wikileaks is or can be used as a threat to US military. But it said almost nothing about "destroying" Wikileaks.
Remember, you don't have to destroy a threat right now. Use it or lose it.
And/. editors should learn from the US military on how to choose a good title for news items. Duh.
The prevalence of "inet" is, I guess, related to the extensive use of symbols that contain "inet" in the standard C libraries, which could probably be traced back to the very early days of the Internet. Disclaimer: IANAComputer History Scientist.
Considering this is slashdot (and timothy), a story that is not openly aiming at generating hate, flame & modtroll fest is indeed, well, quite a story.
This got nothing to do with sound quality. Can you find a small, interesting error made by a musician in a post-processed CD? No. What about the smile of the face of the guy next to you?
Still, classical music as a weapon is far inferior a choice compared with The Funniest Joke in the World, especially considering its application history in the WWII.
I think kids don't enjoy classical music because most of their music experience are from listening to CD records. And recorded music is just a BAD thing to listen to. To make things worse, today's sound engineers produce highly post-processed recordings that hides the "imperfections" but also removes the little things that makes the music alive.
Your home theatre/ipod/whatever never beat a live performance in a real music hall.
And now this. Classical music eardrum piercer. Guess this is yet another form of government bailing-out for the recording industry[sic].
/me posting this listening to Beethoven's Grosse Fuge op.133;p.
Democracy, the Werewolf game of the powerful. Using it for mere harassment is an abuse of resources (God forbid). Real Players (TM) use it for profit or killing.
SLASH failed again. Explanation: this story is tagged "search", and the link to the left of "read more" on this story entry as appeared in the front page shows up as "search.slashdot.org" which is the domain name part of the story's url, which is semantically wrong. (There's no/. section called "Search". That domain should have been hosting the search tool for/. or whatever, but has deformed into a monster of a search page and an index of stories tagged "search", unlike other sections e.g. apple.slashdot.org, which just shows a clean sub-index similar to the index page.)
And this is clearly yet another sign of/. being eaten up by kipples.

But my stupid build process that generates the bloated Hello World is much more maintainable. Now get off my lawn.

Don't ruin a kdawson story with elementary physics, party pooper. This! Is! Slashdot!

They've been keeping it in an amusement part since the UN's victory over the Nazis led by Charlie Chaplin. BTW, Godwined.

Your post is modded down. You should have used "iChoice" rather than "Media Player Choice(TM)".
Because hacking customers' machines is profitable?
This is Windows that we're talking about ;)
Now, you run a website. You can't maintain a viable business model. You lose money. Your readers are leaving. Now choose one:
It seems that Ars chose the worst, i.e. no. 2.

Nope ;p I just can't get the mood of spitting into the Slashdot firehose without listening to some extremely ill-recorded music ;)

Children perform the bad behaviors because of file sharing and disrespect of copyright. Playing music in the public for free only gets things worse.
Will someone please think of the children?

Force them with a Dildozer?
... you guys in the USA need a lawn czar to stop this kind of stupidity ;)
No insult intended to gay people.
Hey, you forgot the kangaroos, you insensitive clod!

lol, that's like, well, a bra for the three-boobed erotic dancer in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
