Actually, it seems like lately the standard slashdot reply is to get off your butt and go live REAL life instead of a simulation...:)
(This of course is followed by several not-so-witty jokes about how real life beats out sim life in almost every area like interface, playability, etc, but you don't have the ability to start over, blah blah blah blah blah blah...)
In your first post you said that the artist didn't have to pay back anything if the record tanked (let's assume they're not doing another record). In the second post you said they'd have to work at Burger King to pay off their debt. Which one is it?
On second thought, don't bother answering, as you're obviously an imbecile.
There's a retracted bid that says "$20,000,000 reserve? Ouch!" Assuming that really is the reserve (which he could have guessed by bidding/see if reserve is met/retracting) then that's outrageous. You don't even get to go to the stupid ISS!!!
Funny thing is, it's your lifestyle that will bring on the stroke eventually... Get out and run around a bit, get your heart so it's more than a pile of mush and you'll lessen the chances of having a stroke.
The current discussion is not about using 802.11 in an office, which is arguably a bad idea, but using it as a last-mile solution to the home. Compared to other solutions (cable, dsl), it's really not any less secure.
They don't do it because of $$$. The magnetic heads on hard drives are by far the most expensive component. I think one company (WD?) did try to make one but nobody bought them because it was cheaper to just do RAID.

Mr. Coward is seeming especially schizophrenic today...
You were supposed to pay for it?? Wow, I didn't have any idea...
I remember that the totally l33t hax0rs ran Celerity...
An intelligent, well-written technical article?? Here?? I thought I was at K5 for a minute!
Answer: They saved almost no money. Except they're forcing you to buy a new cartridge faster, which means more $$$ for them.
I believe that UW-IMAP .mbx also includes indexing in the mail file, along with the concurrent access stuff. It's definitely WAY faster than mbox.

I tried in my first post in this thread, however, after his "f'n rude" reply, all class went out the window.

You're contradicting yourself:
If the record stiffs, even at the fault of the label, the artist of course owes nothing.
and
If the album tanks, guess what? The artist STILL HAS TO PAY BACK THE MONEY, even if they have to work at Burger King to do it.
So which is it? I'm genuinely curious...

Well, this isn't for a "seat" on an actual trip to the ISS, we can expect it to go for less...
What did you expect Katz, in this post-Columbine, post-9/11 world?

Yeah, make it so 95% of the world can't get to your website. Genius. I'm sure everyone's going to do that right away.
Hell yes you are 100% correct.
One big difference between this situation and Ford/Firestone:
No one's getting killed.
That's all.

All you have to do is say "I'LL SEE YOU IN METAMOD!" and the moderators get all scared and stuff and mod you back up.
Right, I had forgotten about lynx... Okay, there's one linux browser from 1998 I liked. :)
You haven't used Windows since Windows 98, have you? I don't have many good things to say about Linux browsers from 1998 either...
It was a joke.
Right - of course it's possible. And as I said, people have done it. It's just expensive and usually not worth it.
Using multiple lasers won't make the CD spin any faster.
