The player probably isn't fast enough to decode the divX anyway, it takes about a 600mhz PC to play divX smoothly. All it will be able to handle is vcd and svcd like every other player on the market.
I'd rather see a divX player for the (modded) XBox.
Allow me to play devil's advocate here and say the ss has some kind of 'system' to decide which cd-burning operation to go after, should they target the guy with 100 4x burners or the guy with 20 50x burners?
it makes sense that they would go after the guy with the 20 50x burners and have some kind of equivalence scale to determine how productive the operation is in order to justify their involvement.
it doesn't really seem so kooky for them to say something like this. move along.
Personally I think it's better to make a movie that touches everybody, and I think it's a lot harder to do.
I'm not going to talk about "selling out"
you just did.

Interesting how on Slashdot most people feel compelled to parrot what they perceive as the "common wisdom", without investing a second of their time in forming their own (supposedly intelligent) opinion. </complaint>
<meta-complaint> also interesting is how people feel compelled to call someone a parrot for agreeing with the majority </meta-complaint>
Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's mostly genetics. Medicine and public health have only extended the average lifespan, but the maximum human lifespan appears to have other limits on it and appears to have remained mostly constant throughout human history
When you consider that someone born in 1880 may just be kicking the bucket, why is it hard to believe that someone born twenty years ago is likely to be able to do the same thing? Especially with human cloning right around the corner I think that medical science is due for a new renaissance.
I read somewhere that the life expectancy increases by 3 months every year due to medical advances. that means if a twenty year-old's life expectancy is 80, by the time he reaches it it will be 95. and by the time he reaches that it will be 99, so not until age 100 have you actually beaten the odds.
but then again there's a good chance you'll be hit by a bus tomorrow.
Yes so you should just put a degree on your resume even if you don't have one because:
* People without degrees won't check because they're too slack to care * People with degrees won't check because doubting you would require 'thinking outside the box'
I won't dontate money to "needy" charities unless I know the money goes towards things which help build a less needy future, not non-sustainable, stopgap measures.
Are we still talking about Farscape, or starving africans? I agree, farscape is needy because there aren't enough fans to justify the expense of production, and africans are starving because there are so many of them living in a desert. neither is going to change by giving them $1Mil.
Sometimes it's better to just let it go. It's not politically correct to point out but starvation is natural. population is balanced against available resources and equilibrium is reached. Should we drop protein reseqeuencers on a hungry primitive planet? no, even though it's hard to watch people suffer, it's still the wrong thing to do.
should we fund a sick show that's been earmarked for extinction? sorry, I like farscape but it's time to say goodbye.
if RIAA doesn't watch it, they'll find a lot of young people taking office and changing laws.
That won't happen in the real world.
A politicians doesn't make decisions based on personal vendettas, he makes decisions based on the needs of the people who voted him into power and the corporations that funded his campaign. Also anyone who has a picture of him with a dead hooker.
The giant condum-balloon was not to make fun of Mr. Bill G. It was to thank him for his millions of dollars of donations to AIDS research, prevention, and education.
Gates later said that looking back he can't remember why he gave India AIDS in the first place.
Slashdot Mirror
of course this will only work if this slashdotter had the means and motive to kill Nicole Brown.
I can't imagine why, other than the geekiness factor, wireless data transmission would be needed to have the DVD player and the PC communicate.
well, there would be one less cord to trip over...

somehow i don't think bandwidth is much of an issue when you have your own private satellite
not to mention all the hacks.
my favorite: nude super mario brothers
Trigun is my favorite anime series of all time. too bad it only lasted 1 season though.
Love and peace!
Yahoo made the switch to php recently. You might need a degree to apply though.

Besides, I think the only kind of stuff that appeals to mass audiences is pop-psychology garbage from 2d characters.
Tell that to shakespeare. seriously.

No, if you're already old all the suit does is make you smell really bad.
My guess would be their tendency to ramble and take too many naps.

You don't have to rely on the classic "fighter, cleric, thief, wizard" team.
I always thought it would be cool to play the guy who runs the inn. Or the guy who sells weapons and armor, he makes a good living.
You're never too old to make $25,000,000.
I'm changing my sig in honor of mel.

Yes, and hot deep life no less.
That show was such a hit that the Star Dreck people ripped it off to make Voyager
I always thought it was a rip-off of gilligan's island. anyone remember gilligan's planet?
It is without a doubt established that buffy is hot, how many male vampires will forsake their own kind to nail buffy???

dracula got close...
Does this mean anyone in Canada will be able to make those stupid smoking mouse commercials?
What?! as if cigarettes weren't bad enough now canada has to worry about kids smoking mice?!
You're probably not aware of this but flash movies that use mx components have accessibilty built in.
