This along with the MGM fire that destroyed the original Tom and Jerry prints, is more proof of how piracy can help us. If this stuff had been pirated all over the net like it would be today, it wouldn't have been lost in the first place. Hopefully they would have used a loss less format though...:-)
Apple will spend $50 million in advertising and after 2 years they'll have the majority of the world convinced they invented net-booting. (This article representing the first $20k of that.)
But they PAID radio stations to play individual tracks. Paying a radio station to play an entire album would be ridiculously expensive. They want to reserve the "ridiculously expensive" part for their fans:
CharlieMopps's Law(TM): The quantity of articles posted to Slashdot that mention Moore's Law will approximately double every time Intel or AMD come out with a new processor.
No, you need to search for something hard to find. The worst are the sites that aggregate their content from forums and then pile them above the actual answer. Experts Exchange is a good example. Especially if you are trying to find help with coding. Their results have been stolen from forums where the help was giving freely. But you have to pay to see nothing more than a copy of the original results. The only reason you can't see the free, original result, is because experts-exchange has buried the result on page 400 of goggles search results via their corruption of the search engine.
There are ways around experts-exchange (firefox plugins) but really Google needs to take this stuff headon as the sole reason they became so dominant was because all of the other search engines had been polluted in this very same way at the time.
No, you can't give them away because there are so many of them. The markets saturated. There's a university resale shop near my house that has pallets full of 5yr old PCs for $20. They were replaced with new PCs, not Apples. Apples are more expensive, less powerful, have less storage, far far far less software, fewer upgrade options, most hardware supports them as an afterthought... but hey, they have great commercials right?
If you want to make a fool of yourself and dispute any of this, go ahead, but quote a source thats not apple and not a fanzine.
It's fine to collect Ford Mustangs because you think they're cool. But if you go online and claim they are the fastest, most affordable, most reliable and fuel efficient car in the world, you're just being stupid. You like the car because you think it looks cool and you like the way Ford marketed it. That's it.
They have probable cause. They can search your car, your house, your library of congress if you happen to own one and get arrested while in it. Our problem is the courts treating electronic devices as something special like in the recent case where the man was arrested for reading his wifes email. We certainly don't want them to continue that trend. This is a good ruling for us.
Apple users are hilarious. Every point you made is a marketing ploy by apple, and completely untrue. They have fully and completely indoctrinated you into believing that Apple is this huge, unstoppable force in the tech industry. Think about how many people you know with Ipones and then think about how many people you know with blackberrys. Think about how many people you know with Apple computers and then think of the OCEAN of PC compatible computers we're swimming in. You can't give away a PC thats more than a few years old because there's just so many of them laying around everywhere. See the light, wake up from the dream. Reality is much better.
Change the rules. You can't sell a stock within 24hrs of buying it. There is absolutely no benefit in the hyper trading of stocks like this. Computers are just going to get exponentially faster until trading is so fast the entire market could crash before regulators could do anything about it. Hasn't it happened several times already and they had to roll back trades for several hours because the market was so screwed up?
Just stick the word "Beta" at the end of the software version but sell it anyway. When bugs come back say "Thank you for your beta testing!" and then promise them some free, but useless addition to the software when it finally comes out of beta (which it never will.) It seems to work for everyone else out there, why not you?
Find out who funded the Research, and if they had a vested interest in the results turning out a specific way you can probably be sure in which way they turn out.
All politicians are crooks and thieves. You should rail against their power at every opportunity. Unfortunately no country on earth has the constitution required to implement true freedom. It will take another revolution is some major country for it to happen and that seems relatively unlikely given the control politicians have over the media today. They use psychology and mass media to steer the uneducated masses towards the choices they pick for us. Even the most intelligent of us can easily fall for a well played political maneuver.
They've had sleep deprivation tests for YEARS that the insurance industry has tried unsuccessfully to get installed into cars (you wouldn't be able to start the car if you are over tired.) Simply install one of these devices at the hospitals time clock. No one in a hospital should be working while sleep impaired.
Well, it did eventually work in regards to Sony's ridiculous memory stick. They're still making them but the last time I looked at Sony cameras they all supported both the memory stick and SD cards at the same time. The problem are the uneducated consumers. I'd think the better solution (if you really want the free market to decide) would be to enforce clear labels on packaging like what we do with food ingredients and lists a specific statistic like percentage of devices made that use the format. Or in apples case that it's a proprietary format they'll not share.
Fox news plays to their audience... conservative Americans. Which, for the most part is not represented on slashdot... or even the internet for that matter. So you're hearing the opinion of people who have apposing viewpoints to fox. If you're a Liberal, fox is a terrible, awful company that should be force off the air. If you're conservative, they are spot on and have the best ratings of any cable news out there. If you think our entire political system is garbage and the Liberals and just and gullible as the conservatives then you look at the outrage against fox news and laugh as those same people turn on the Daily Show for their infotainment and reaffirmation of their own ideology.

Disaster porn. The actual FACTS read a lot different than the lamentation of pundits and talking heads on the news:

Even if this is the fall of the USA, it's a long... long... way down.

Who wants to tell them there's already been a failed StarWars MMO?
Netbooting IS useful had has been used since the 70s by businesses, libraries and universities.
The home computer?
The MP3 player?
The Smart Phone?
I HATE the spelling police. Can you people just leave the rest of us alone please?
I was going to until I found out I had to buy the needles from AT&T. Haroin's one think but AT&T is the fucking devil himself.

Anything done that "annoys" Zimbabwe's leaders is well worth the effort in my opinion.

Yes it does. I'm not your father allauthors, but I'm very happy to see you...
