What exactly did you guys hope to gain from this lawsuit? You've made quite a few people quite angry, did you expect this? What is your response to the public's reaction and if you had known that people were going to react like this, would you still have filed against napster?
...that the Pinkerton corporation was originally private law enforcement for companies struggling through strikes. The Pinkertons would showup and rough up the strikers. Maybe Pinkerton hasn't realized that there's been a change in the last century and a half?
How does it feel to know you've brought a multi-billion dollar organization to its knees? What are your plans for the future? Do you have any desire to continue with MoRE?
Imagine symlinking/dev/null to the usb or serial port with one of those things plugged in. And then give certain files different "signatures." You could set it up so attempting to delete/etc/passwd would make you throw up. Preventative systems administration is here, now:)
What fun is it? Dominating everyone else. I dont cheat, let alone play q1 anymore, but something about winning a matche makes everyone feel all warm inside, no matter how you got there.
Katz's article sucked. He is advocating things that are against most ethical human beings morals. I am really dissapointed in his continuing appearance on a publication like/. . Another poll is in order to out this offensive drivel which constantly seeps out of his disgusting body.
You are all forgetting that he wrote one script, and broke it into six parts. This movie is going to be great, and just because the media is hyping it w/o asking doesn't mean he is responsible for that hype. Secondly, just because he is willing to accept marketing deals in advance doesn't make him into some souless, inhuman capitalist. He is proud of what he has created, and who are you, Jon Katz, to criticize one of the greatest filmakers of all time. What have you accomplished? Making lots of/. readers loathe your writings, and make a fool of yourself. The only reason I haven't censored you is to see what stupid article you're going to write next.
The emails that Katz posted are written by whiners who believe that they are products of their environment. They choose to be different. Its that choice that leads them into trouble. I'm a geek, and I receive some ridicule for it, but no more than the next person, who happens to be the JV quarterback. I choose not to stand out in excess, not for fear of retalliation, but because, I like to. The people that do choose to look different don't deserve worse treatment, but if you don't like the way your treated, don't flaunt it. Further more, people are made fun of because of where they are: high school. Everyone gets made fun of in high school, no matter what. I'm a geek, and experience nothing different than the next high schooler, because I choose to. These people need to realize that.
I believe that people are a product of their enviornments, not products of their parents (besides the obvious physical charecteristics). Therefore if someone is surrounded by violence, there actions will begin to mimic that violence. I also think that any and all instincts can be controlled by enough will, making the case invalid, but a violent enviornment will breed a violent population.
I totally missed that. That would makes these drives great for backups and what not, but not as an everyday drive. That is depressing. Oh well, I guess I'll have to stick to magnetic media for now.
No offense, but I hate it when people are judged by age.
I think that age discrimination is a double edged sword. While you might have certain limits applied to you, you are also granted liberties that elders (age 21 and up) dont have being legal citizens.
I'm 19 now and for some reason it seems to make a huge difference in public perception. I look the same, talk the same, etc. But for some reason I am now somehow better being 19 instead of 18.
I totally agree with you here. Being different ages can have different things expected from you. I'm 16, and being 17 seems infinatley older.
As a high schooler my self, having that kind of project happen at my school would be a wonderfult thing. In my tech class, were building remote control cars of our own design, and having a destruction derby, but their project sounds fantastic. Maybe not in professional industry standards, but they're only 18, and doing an excellent job.
Man oh man, I am psyched. 6 hours of mp3s, especially in long car rides? This could eliminate the cd industry entirely. I wonder how much there going to cost?
I agree with you when you say that this system deprives the moderators, but I think that is a choice they are going to have to make if there interested in moderation. I also think that rob might be trying to pool a larger moderation source so that at least a couple people can moderate every single article. And, how can you tell number of comments read when there all displayed in flattened mode?
This may be something that matters, but it is not, in any sense of the words news for nerds. I read the disclaimer, but this type of material really isn't what I come to/. for.
On another note, The stereotypes created by the media about the internet being used only for sex is obviously incorrect. The solution? Point out that sites such as/..org exist, and are nothing more than exchanges of information. Until then, we might be forced to live with the notion that we are sexual maniacs.

What advantages, exactly, will plastic semiconductors have over our current system?

Microsoft would be willing to open the source code for its Windows software to competitors...
:(
They agreed to source it to competitors, not the average Joe. That means you and I never get to see it

You're right. Once in a while is it cool.
