I said legally, not easily. But anyway, I suppose by easily you mean I can put the disk in my computer, go to the folder, copy, go to my portable player's folder and ctrl+v?
Does iTunes require no knowledge of computers? I would say that the number of help and support requests on Apple's forums and elsewhere would suggest otherwise.
I know many people incapable of getting music from a CD to a mp3 player but able to transfer from the web to the player.
If only there were a way to buy high-quality, DRM-free music. Even better, what if that music came on some sort of 'disk' (it could be a fairly compact disk) which meant that you had a backup?
Great idea!
I suppose I could buy that disc you speak about in the internet and it would arrive free of shipping charges to my home, right?
Also, as that fairly compact disk you speak about may eventally break or be scratched, I suppose I could legally copy it to another of those disks or to my computer, right?
Oh, and the files in the disk would be made in such a way that I need absolutely no knowledge of computers to be able to copy them to my portable music player. Right?
So if tomorrow a file with your personal information is shared on the web and you simply don't know how is it possible, so you're fined a couple thousand bucks, I guess you won't mind?
Or you're so sure of the infalibility of Apple's system that you're willing to bet a couple thousand bucks, in exchange for... Nothing?
Never again buy anything related to music and you'll be safe.
Alternatively, you can buy music in small stores, in cash. In that case, it's better to wear sunglasses and a hat. You wouldn't want anyone to discover you're one of those people who actually are paying clients of the music industry.
Following the little warning, it should read, Warning: this link has been established with biased experiments and insufficient data, as well as lack of scientific analysis. Experiments have pointed both ways (yet we have cherry picked this one) and to this day, many dolts firmly believe that correlation implies causation. You can however have faith in the fact that if your children are young enough, they may be as stupid as the chain of idiots who have wasted your tax money on this crap. This entails that, like lemmings, without proper guidance/responsibility, they will most likely attempt (and fail) to pick up a hooker and shoot her in the face to avoid paying the fees, following an uninterrupted session of GTA. If they get closer to success than desired, no matter how hilarious it may be, it is YOUR responsibility, not the source of this media.
That would be a pretty huge label. We could sell games in old LP disc boxes, I guess.
I wonder if the appearance of more and better EEG controllers like OCZ's NIA or Emotiv's EPOC will be followed by games directly oriented to the control of those brainwaves.
I then wonder how much experience we have regarding the effect it may have on a little kid to learn to control his brainwaves like some control a plastic guitar.
Will they develop new mental illnesses like mental carpal tunnel or will they develop other skills like the ability to fall asleep at will in less than a second.
They've already told you about the tail and the anti-tail. Right there you should think:
"Anti tail? what are they talking about?... Oh, teh opposite of a tail... A tail on the opposite side.... hmmm...... Ahh, hehe, yeah, anti-tail, hehe, clever...... hmm I wonder if mine is bigger..."
And right there you get the answer. "It has a magnitude of 6". So, the answer to your original question is, clearly, "Inches".
I know it's possibly paranoia but the concept of downloadable content still makes me think they're actively removing things from the original game to release them later as downloadable content.
It's like releasing the Fantastic 3 and then include the invisible girl as downloadable content.
Who thought of selling a 3d display system for gaming?
Let's see. How many gamers watch porn regularly? Now, how many non-gamers watch porn regularly? And finally, how many games get so greater for being in 3d as porn?
How hard can it be to sell a product with "Full 3D titties. $X. Pay here."
Remember kids, if it's 100% encrypted, you stop taking it seriously. Use encryption on data that's important, so there is a sharp divider in your mind between secure, and vulnerable.
And also remember, kids, if there's not a sharp divider in your mind between secure and vulnerable, it's all vulnerable.
We don't need anything that drastic. We just need to ensure that people can't communicate with each other effectively. I suggest having everyone make up their own language.
If life is found on Mars which is similar in cellular structure to life on Earth, it demonstrates cross-contamination (either from spacecraft or meteors).
And, in that situation, how do you demonstrate that there wasn't life just a moment ago and that our contamination killed it?
If the rest of the world doesn't care about Spain and Portugal invading Mars, taking everything that shines (for starters), and giving the land back 300 years later, I don't think Spain and Portugal would find it unresonably harsh.
Slashdot Mirror
The competing teams building the lunar straw house and the lunar stick house are still searching for suitable materials.
Suitable as in Ragnarok-ready.
Who would've thought reading too many times the same fable to your children could have such results.
Damn you little piggies!
Quick, patent a laser pointer that projects the barcode of goatse.cx
Yes you can easily copy CDs using a computer.
I said legally, not easily. But anyway, I suppose by easily you mean I can put the disk in my computer, go to the folder, copy, go to my portable player's folder and ctrl+v?

Great odds.

Maybe someone can crank out some cheap SQUIDs?
I squish a stress-ball, but to each it's own.
Hehe... I've got no chance in hell of working for Google then.
Unless they want someone to rate their... Ok I'll stop right there or I'll never work for Slashdot either.

I bet it won't take long for a lot of people to die anyway.
I suppose you replaced "everyone" with "a lot of people" to take into account vampires.
Six... what?
You have to read between the lines.
They've already told you about the tail and the anti-tail. Right there you should think:

You're welcome.
It's just you.
Btw, still sunny on Happyland? Are the unicorns as cute as always?

The last thing i want is Linux to be windows. Thats why i don't use windows.
You don't use Windows to stop Linux from being windows?
Is Linux following you?
You did give him some food, didn't you? Told you not to feed the OSs.
So, I definitely want one, but I'm not going to pretend that this would be remotely useful until I upgrade to a brand new machine.
Well, you could buy it now and, while you wait for a more powerful rig, use it on older games.
Like tetris.

What about having it fully encripted at all times?
If your computer is stolen it's quite hard to convince the thief to store it in an acid bath till it stops bubbling.

Aha. I knew you'd fall in the ingenious trap.
He's circunventing the language ban! Terrorist!
I've heard that terrorists also speak to people to recruit new members!
We should stop right now the use of language.
Unless the few microbes around kill anything that was already there.
If life is found on Mars which is similar in cellular structure to life on Earth, it demonstrates cross-contamination (either from spacecraft or meteors).
And, in that situation, how do you demonstrate that there wasn't life just a moment ago and that our contamination killed it?

Humongous amounts of precious metals.
