I am interested to see more stories that are not advertising or shout outs develop on laptops reading slashdot. Down with the "Check out my favorite thing" posts.
I can forsee the senator saying that his jailtime will be much like living normal life, but behind a series of bars connected together.
I look forward to his jailing, so I can enjoy more humorous remarks about the particular "Series of Bars" he is behind at any given time.
If I am to understand his track record this will be high on his list
Now all Video Game discs will have a special magnesium and thermite backing. Should you read the entire disc in one sitting, the disc will ignite and destroy your gaming device. This will prevent all disc copying. It will also increase read error rates 50%, but we all brought it on ourselves.
Also all game systems and games will not be playable if not equipped with phone home technology. Existing games which are re-released as Game of the Year are to be retrofitted. Owners of games and game systems without internet access may purchase from the ESA, a phone home device utilizing Satellite technology for 1999.99 plus a $29.99 a month service fee.
Last but not least, all "obsolete" games without the built in protection will be illegal without a accompanying receipt. Punishable by fines from 100,000 to 1 Million per incident. I mean if you posses a game and do not have a receipt you must have stole it to copy and distrubute, right?
--Paint (Can be used to disguise the previous appearance of items)
--Hair Coloring (The only legal hair color from now on will be birth color, offenders can be jailed)
--Clothing dye (See above, you could conceal the identity of a garment)
--Sharpies and other markers (These could be used to conceal previously written statements)
--And as always, remember to firmly affix your ID barcode to your forehead before leaving home.
I'm sure they are using the pitch "there are limitless possibilities" when referring to the script.
If spore gets its own movie, the where is my SimCity movie?
In response to AV vendors reply "We've changed the game, and viruses have changed in recent years because of the protection we're putting into place,"
Normally if something is going to succeed, it evolves to overcome natural or manmade barriers to its existence.
In a way, the fact that the malware and viruses evolve within days of AV updates says that the AV companies are nothing but an annoyance to the writers of the malware.
I'm going to have to go ahead and say regardless of anyones personal preference we have to give a lot of credit to the designer for taking the time to comment on their choices.
Personally the only user created design change I like better is the last one...wow gayness.
I feel the case very well could have been someone tracking him down and trying to set a example for spammers worldwide by going after the family as well.
I imagine even murderers and terrorists are peeved about getting spam, and they have the means to take justice into their own hands.
Did you ever consider for a moment that some of us are just against nanny state mentality and government?
I for one would rather see our tax dollars spent on more worthwhile ventures than to support the furthering of the nanny state agenda. This is just another in a long line of tax dollar wastes.
I hear they are currently working hard to eliminate vowels from the vocabulary also on the grounds that they are found in numerous vulgar words and if the kids cannot use vowels it will severely limit their ability to cuss.
Let's hope they do not convince Webster to remove the vowels.
MPAA:I am suing you for owning that movie!~~~
Me: Why? I bought it fair and square!~~~
MPAA:You failed to lock away the movie media in a approved biometric safe, so therefore we cannot prove you did not pirate the movie after you bought it.~~~
Me: Since when do I have to keep my movies in a safe?~~~
MPAA:Since we made the government say so.
--In Soviet Russia, the Disc plays you!
Would you look at that. They are using a common sense version of me (knowledgeengine) to power it too.
Now I am wondering why I haven't had any quickies in so long.
I think there next business move should be to *sell* a product that lets linux games be played in windows.
Take this with some sarcasm as intended, but I'm suprised they are not trying to charge for the "privledge" to do that too.
Just login, choose your favorite DNA Samples (or upload your own), and select the chromosone pairs from the samples you wish to combine!
Next choose Preview to see what your new organism will look like! Also, upload a base sample for a comparison chart between the original organism and your new lifeform!
Last but not least our engineers hope to have a special suprise ready by April of 2010. Ordering! We hope to offer both "Retrovirus" for exisiting organism modification, and "Test Tube Compatible" for creating new lifeforms!
Warning: Google claims no responsiblity for lifeforms based on DNA created with the beta.
For a good idea just waiting to happen...
Oh wait there it is.

If you buy two I'll include a free spanning laptop desk to go over the dogs back!
I think someone at Microsoft got this little ditty stuck in their head.
Let's fight
We will not be oppressed
Our courage will be seen by all
No cost is too great
The higher order shall reign
Our way is true
Prepared to fight
Ready for war New Slogan: Microsoft-Where do you want to be a Yahoo today?
I know I for one am so very excited to see how this affects is in the US. New from comcast...unblock youtube dns records-$4.95/mo extra...allow BT traffic-$19.99 extra.
Etc.Etc.
I find if I have my AGEIA PhysX and my Creative Sound Blaster Ultimate Wallet Drainer 3000 hooked up and dual SLI that Rick Astleys right arm swings a little more violently while he dances. That is exactly the kind of experience I paid over $1000 in add on equipment for. And man can you beat the "Concert Hall" DSP for that one?
Just joking...I have none of the above.
I don't know about everyone else here but I for one am happy to see someone bringing the competition to Creative's front door. I can remember resentments towards them from my ms-dos childhood. As a matter of fact I don't think I have any good memories of Creative driver experiences... Hmmmm.
I wonder if the emulated EAX drivers can replicate the awesome sound effects like in this video though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
My 2 Cents...
Show the user 5 images. Your job is to 1) Select the one image that is out of place with a radio button 2)Solve the captcha that is one of the 5 images 3) Choose which word best describes the remaining 3 images from a drop down/combo.

Of course this would only be reasonable for something one time only like signing up for gmail.
I guess you all forgot about the landmark case in the 90's. When Jobs first got back on at apple he proceded to sue Sunny Valley Apple Orchard in Cupertino's suburbs. There's even a video of the court procedings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 [youtube.com] I am not shocked in the least to see this from them, given their past behaviour. Towards the end of the video the orchard owner is asking "But what shall I call my fruit" to which Jobs said he could care less, just don't call them apples. That is how the grape flavored apples got started http://www.grapplefruits.com/ [grapplefruits.com]

Did anyone here consider the fact that the $98 dollar price point is the wholesale price?
You will not be buying it for $98, the distrubutor you buy it from will be paying $98 dollars for it, and selling it to you at a markup.
Just that this appears to be footage of a commonplace wholesaler trade show.

So if I am reading this right, we could reduce global warming by creating more deserts around the world?
Now that just doesn't sound right at all.

I tried some old ms-dos commands like format c: but it seemed unaffected. How unfortunate that all I got was search results.
Would you look at that. They are using a common sense version of me (knowledgeengine) to power it too. Now I am wondering why I haven't had any quickies in so long.
The will question is Will It Blend (tm) I'd love to see Blender on Will it Blend, that would be a hoot.
