Stocks in tin foil producing companies soar!
I think if users use this machine while doing usability testing with Vista the machine will explode, so the problem will take care of itself.
I've used slashdot for about 5 years regularly, read the articles etc, but I've never really made use of the friend/foe tagging..
Sorry dude, we didn't want to say anything, but no one likes you.
But seriously, social network sites help in communicating with real-life friends, displaying photos and stalking girls and/or guys (to be PC) that you like.
So, they do have uses even for those who are not prepubescent teens - though them young and immature kinda wreck it for the rest of us.
Anyway, you sound hot!!1 Look at my./ profile, I've got pics xxx
I noticed that it was mostly likely acquired legitly (from whomever gave it too TPB) after posting my prior posts.
I just went on what the article said:
Software pirates have launched an astonishing smash 'n' grab raid on the music biz, stealing the domain name of one of its foremost anti-piracy bodies.
From other comments here, this appears to be sensationalism. If the domain was sitting around idly doing nothing, then it is fair game.
I couldn't read the interview due to filtering in place at place of work. Sure, I could put in the effort and get around it, but this is Slashdot: most don't even RTFS!;)
If it is the case that IPFI.com just let their domain expire, allowed someone else to register it (most registars give a grace period onto of the expiration date, there is little excuse) then nothing unethical has happened.
In fact, nothing even really newsworthy has happened. They didn't loot any treasure, they just picked up the scraps floating by.
I would argue replacing their content with IFPI, in this case, censoring. Mind, I'm being fairly liberal in my definition of censorship.
They are taking away traffic intended to be for IFPI. They are making it harded for IFPI to voice their opinion by unethical means. If you look at it from an unbiased view point (don't even look it to the purposes of either sites), you would probably agree that PirateBay are more wrong than right.
I suppose the matter comes down to whether you think it okay to supress critisism when you disagree with it.
Ofcourse, you could be taking the mick out of my use of 'there' instead of 'their', making this post a useless rant.
"It's not a hack. Someone just gave us the domain name. We have no idea how they got it, but it's ours and we're keeping it."
Sounds like a little kid who finds a lost puppy, and is upset when the owner comes along to reclaim it.
Really, they should just give the domain name back. It's not theirs. They are just encouraging lawsuits and more problems for themselves - and for what? Bravado?
If I was trying to better a competitor/critic, I would want to do it the big way; not peity tactics. Censoring there views is not the way to go...
I would (not very educatedly) guess that the benefit of such a test is not in verifying that a patient has Alzheimer's but rather they don't. By ruling out Alzheimer's, doctors can focus on other, possibly curable, mental diseases. It would be terrible if someone degenerates into a condition common to a person suffering Alzheimer's, when really they have something different altogether that can be treated (medicine, surgery, etc).
But what do I know, I'm no brain-surgeon!
He asked a company for it's pricing and he was supplied with the wrong pricing. For what reason would the prices be wrong?
A complete non-story, Pogue did nothing wrong. Releasing prices to the general public is a good thing, not something that should be discouraged. People want to know the price of products like PS3, iPhone and charges of using features of it before they are released, even if only a guideline.

Obviously, he would need us to say the funny things! Chess grandmasters are notorious for be unfunny!
I claim "You sunk my battleship" everytime we lose a piece. So everyone else, get your own jokes!

Good thinking, Slashdot, you can get rid of some of the clutter AND help out EFF at the same time!

I suppose I'd make a pretty shitty pirate!
