Then everyone loses. Not just you guys who want to get your music and movies for free.
Funny how I see the exact same pattern but I interpret it as a good thing.
An arms race between government and the people that has the people as the ultimate winner? It's better than good.
The method of slowly pushing the commoners down and the rulers up doesn't stop with a reasonable and gradual struggle to make the situation more balanced. It stops when the commoners revolt, the powerful raise their armies against them and discover that those armies are too heavily outnumbered.
"Shit, there's a leak in project Wolverine. Quick, call agent Manghetto! And put me with the president." "Mr. Obama?" "No, the real president. Doctor Doomsday!"
This piece of news seems to display enough idiocy to be immediately understood by all slashdotters as retarded. However, it's not idiot enough to grant just a couple posts about it being a dumb PR mistake that should never have seen the light.
This is clearly still unreal technology/Technocracy magic.
Some Vampire/Mage crossover munchkin is trying to change the consensual reality so the paradox stops popping his head open whenever he tries to conjure blood.
Will I now be able to keep reading my ebook during lift off? Or will the stewardess still complain of possible magical waves interfering with the airplane in some magical way.
It would be funny to then be offered a wifi connection.
I wonder if it'll be protected by password or by geas.

Except that in this case people aren't upset enough to start revolting, and distracted by all the comforts of modern society.
However, people take new comforts for granted really really fast.
I wonder what would happen if a politician created a law that blacklisted all porn.
f()?
crap.
P.S.: f() -> f(Greek small letter beta) ...
I'll go back to my cave.
it being beta has a function.
f()?
Does it matter if it's beta when it's still the best and most reliable free email service around?
Quite the opposite.
When a friend told me he was closing a beta phase my first question was "Is it more stable than gmail?"
Am I the only one who reads "browser-based" as "play from work"?
Some day I'll develop a web browser impossible to distinguish from an excel spreadsheet.

We all know the searches are actually being done by a large amount of people in suspended animation, being fed the corpses of the previous people.
The thing about each server having its own battery is a cruel joke.
Maybe the Red Spot is a timer, and when it finally disappears something really interesting will happen, like:
It will go "BING!" and we'll know it's ready to be eaten.
And it will taste like chicken.
Here I was ready to make some crack
I knew it!
Even drug dealers read Slashdot!
Perfect time to send some spam to Jupiter.
That is right, paying workers a fair wage is communist!"
It depends on your definition of "fair".
Mine is 100% of what they produce. So yes, yes it is.
This is not an April Fool's joke. This is real AND no one can remove shit like this from the internet.
The cat is far out of the bag.
Is it alive?
FBI: Hello FBI?
MPAA: THE NEW WOLVERINE FILM HAS BEEN LEAKED
FBI: Wrong number. *Hangs up*
"Shit, there's a leak in project Wolverine. Quick, call agent Manghetto! And put me with the president."
"Mr. Obama?"
"No, the real president. Doctor Doomsday!"
This probably all has to do with being under paid in an industry that makes ass loads of cash for the few at the top, and hardly any at the bottom.
An industry? You're describing the entire system.
Are you implying this wouldn't have happened in a utopian comunist country?
I'm sure you float like a log. Or a duck.
We should try.
Does anyone have a duck?
The only possible path from:
1 Government forces all businesses to use standarized crap software.
is:
2 Standarized crap software is thoroughly raped and even infants can enter any complying business.
3 Businesses remove crap software.
I decided right then to save a few $'s and see Star Trek on the small screen.
Great idea.
That way, when it becomes unbearable, you can simply close the phone.
"could be used to add touch sensing to all sorts of gadgets and devices."
He resisted the urge to add "(hint, hint)".

Such precision is uncommon.
And we'd finally have cheap real bloody mary.
nobody wants to see where you insert the CAT5 cable.
And so the script for "Slashdotits" begins to take form.
"Honda has released a video of experiments."
On a completely unrelated note, I've developed a series of exercises to read slashdot and reply, by pure will. I don't even require a computer.
I present this text as sample of the experiment's result.
This is clearly still unreal technology/Technocracy magic.
Some Vampire/Mage crossover munchkin is trying to change the consensual reality so the paradox stops popping his head open whenever he tries to conjure blood.
Obviously.
Indeed!
