Why do you even need this? If you're going to ship millions of CDs, yes. But many artists nowadays - most, I'd argue - won't. Take a look at what The Get Out Clause did for shipping out their CDS. Handmade by the band, shipped out by the band. You can buy something altogether more awesome than the plastic-and-paper tripe you pick up at Wal-Mart for the paltry sum of £5 (shipping included).
What do you mean it's not so easy on an international stage? I'm pretty sure the Internet is international.
If you're shipping little plastic disks out for some insane reason, then pack it full of awesome goodies and make it worth the premium price you'd be charging them.
Go to your nearest college campus. It's practically a black market emporium, whether you need PILLS HERE (uppers, downers, stimulants, concentration enhancers, etc.) or any number of other recreational drugs.
If you want to play the games so bad and don't want to give out your information, then the solution for now is to just have an account with no friends (a.k.a. the Saturday Night Slashdot Special.)
What is the legal distinction between, say, "a priest and one of his congregation" and "a reporter and one of his sources"?
I would easily say that any laws or regulations that force (or attempt to force) anyone to disclose their sources when doing any sort of journalism is a bigger threat to a country over what you said to Father O'Brien or a chat you had with your doctor.
Here's how it works. Acme Co. makes $1 billion dollars in 2009, an increase in revenues of 20% from the previous year.
In some cases, the higher-up officers may have negotiated large contracts and such that brought in that money and are deserving of a (sizable) bonus as a result (as far as the board is concerned).
More often than not, however, they don't do a whole lot aside from "network" with a Blackberry in one hand and a midday martini in the other, and they make several hundred thousand to several hundred million every year.
I suppose that's two opposite ends of the company officer spectrum. On the one hand you'll have people like Warren Buffet, who built the company from the ground up and is probably still involved in the day-to-day operations to some large degree nowadays. On the other hand, there's lots of business - especially tech companies - that have the business equivalent of a constitutional monarchy. The officer(s) make no real important decisions, but they're the personality behind the business. They're the ones that make the presentations at big shows, and they're the ones that bring home the big checks.

No, you don't.
I was wondering what that Bittorrent DNA stuff was... now I know!
It's this infrastructure bit I don't get.

What if Mr. Tech Toolkit is incompatible with the current version of Firefox?

Yeah, well, a cursory Google search didn't turn it up, and I'm only willing to go so far for a joke an hour before bedtime.

Nice Eurocentric twist on the ol' M$ dealy.
I've always thought of the pound sterling symbol as more of an E or F though. Appee? Appfe?

And all it will take is you getting enough people together to out-lobby the people who don't want that to happen.

To pronounce his name correctly, you would have to stick an egg beater down your throat and set it to puree.
I don't know if there's a Poet Laureate position for Slashdot, but either way I nominate this guy. Brilliant!
In related news, John Riccitiello was spotted at Denny's texting on his Blackberry.

Yes. The Jonas Brothers pay a yearly licensing fee to High Overlord Ykkkkkkdrzkl.
Yes you did. Somewhere in the world, an advertising executive just creamed his pants.
the scandal would be enough to ruin their political career for life.
Good. Politics shouldn't be something you can do for a career anyway.
In his defense, he was six foot three and probably drunk or mentally ill.
Lucky for him he wasn't stupid enough to try anything, I'm six foot five and I was stone cold sober at the time. d;
You've just invented crowdsourcing based on people's fears and phobias.
I didn't think such an evil person existed, yet here we are.

Yes, but there's countless stories of horses returning to camp/home from battle with their wounded (or dead) riders - or no riders at all.
I'd feel more comfortable hopping on a horse that knew the way to my house than trying to drive.
Horses are like chaffeurs that poop a lot.
I live in Newark, NJ. I got you all beat on crazies.
I actually had a guy attempt to attack me with a canteen. A frickin' canteen!
