This would forbid me from burning my own music to CD, meaning the music that I myself composed.
Do you claim to have composed a song? Have you ever listened to the radio? If so, then you are presumed to have copied the song from another song in violation of federal copyright law (Bright Tunes v. Harrisongs; analysis; more analysis).
You're trying to bust a troll, but your techniques seem ineffective. Let me point out a few things you can work on:
I thought you worked at Sega
Notice that the Sega post is from February 1994, around the time the Sega Saturn console first 2came out stateside. It's April 2003 now. Nine years is more than long enough to switch companies in one profession, even in the Far East
How's your Smell-o-vision [slashdot.org] project going?
The manual for the USA version of Earthbound (the sequel to Mother, which Nintendo never published in the USA) had scratch-and-sniff panels.
Have you finished the HIGHLY ADVANCED SPEECH RECOGNITION DEVICE
Possibly the most damning evidence is this post, which calls Nintendo's handheld the "Gameboy Advance". Nintendo house style spells "Game Boy" as two words.
I mean the original PS was always able to play music CD's if i recall correctly.
So could the TurboGrafx CD, the Sega CD, the CD-i, the 3DO, and the Saturn. Had Sony not included Red Book CD audio playing in the original PlayStation, PSX buyers would have felt cheated.
Are you saying put these in a separate section of the feed, where a machine can easily filter them out? Or would you put them in the main part of the feed itself, indistinguishable from a normal link, a practice which got a few search engines accused of corruption?
do I really owe you advertising bucks if all you do is link?
Try telling that to any major directory such as Yahoo!.
Alot of sites (the majority?) that offer RSS feeds are not designed to make money
In other words, the dot-com revenue model of "give away your product and make it up selling T-shirts". Or am I misled?
How are sites that offer a Semantic Web interface such as RSS supposed to bring in revenue? They can't rely on advertising because the machines that browse the Semantic Web cannot be trusted to deliver advertising to a human eyeball.
How many slots do you think a machine has for BB-RAM, vs. how many disks can you attach?
If both the RAM drive and the rotating-magnetic-media drive use the same type of connection to the motherboard (e.g. Serial ATA), you have nothing to worry about except battery failure. Otherwise, you'll need a new motherboard for battery-backed RAM anyway.
when they could spend less money and buy dram instead - which shuld be faster.
Which would involve running most apps in slow emulation because if I already have several GB of DRAM, the most popular processor architecture in which proprietary software is published can't handle much more.
any works completely of your creation can be used in any way you like
Except unless programs completely of your creation use works of others as data *cough*DeCSS*cough*AEBPR*cough*. That's a potential DMCA violation in those countries that have adopted it.
2. Popular music is getting tired. 3. Lack of range.
Darn right. According to studies by Forrester Research and George Zieman, the 10 percent drop in RIAA labels' revenue from 1999 to 2001 is more likely to come from a slow economy and from publishing 30 percent fewer new titles than from peer-to-peer copyright infringement.
An interesting comparison: The bad-ass of the early 2000s is Marshall Mathers aka Eminem. Though he speaks out publicly against piracy of his songs, his lyrics encourage listeners to "download the audio on MP3 / And show the whole world" ("The Real Slim Shady", The Marshall Mathers L.P.).
Drop Linux and go with FreeBSD and use the ports system.
Does FreeBSD support all the video cards, all the sound cards, and all the network cards (including winmodems whose manufacturer provides only a binary Linux kernel module) that Linux supports?
If I have to buy new hardware to switch to BSD, it'll probably be one of these.
Sony threatened a lawsuit against Sony, claiming that the system developed to reduce flicker was primarily intended for circumventing access control on copyrighted motion pictures published by Sony and that Sony camcorders incorporating such a system violated the DMCA with respect to Sony's copyrights.
I (may have mis)used it to mean implementing the API in a way that works when actual applications are recompiled with it, as opposed to how Windows NT "implements" POSIX.
Go get yourself a job.

It's fun to violate D.M.C.A.
It won't be called the PS3
The report of Nintendo's stake in the "PlayStation" name was a hoax.

Why do you presume that RSS can be "monetized" anyway?
Because businesses tend not to fund the development of any technology that cannot be "monetized".

i guess this might be neat now that computers dont have extra 'cards' of memory.
Then what are DDR DIMMs?
The DMCA has been adopted by a country other than the US?
A couple European countries have implemented the European Union Copyright Directive.
Why wasn't this reported on slashdot?
It was. Read this article about two European countries that have adopted the EUCD.

Having heard the fifth cover version of "Spirit in the Sky" earlier and myriads of other "artists" releasing other people's work
It's inevitable. There are only about 50,000 possible four-note melodies in the Western scale.

Considering Elvis was the "bad-ass" of his time

Get a job driving a taxi. Become a courier. Deliver pizzas.
I failed the test for an operator driver license, let alone a passenger chauffeur license.
Or at a bookstore. Wait tables. Sell cars. Write a book. Work construction.
Do those jobs pay enough to let me both support myself and pay off my student loan?
What's your point, you're too fucking good to wait for a movie to come to your market?
Yes. I am too intercoursing good to wait until everybody involved in the production of the movie has been dead for 70 years.
Been to China recently? How about India? ... there would still be a market for operating systems!
Not if infringing copies of Microsoft operating systems outnumber genuine copies by an order of magnitude in China and India.

does this article try to paint the Hollywood "agents" and "enforcers" as some sort of quasi-law-enforcement personnel?
They are enforcing the law; thus, how are they not law enforcement personnel?
Watching a semi-focused and shaking image of a movie with mono sound on my TV in no way substitutes for going to the theatre for a movie experience.
Unless the cost of seeing the movie includes round-trip airfare. Most films are not released simultaneously in all global markets.
That's just implementing an API!
I (may have mis)used it to mean implementing the API in a way that works when actual applications are recompiled with it, as opposed to how Windows NT "implements" POSIX.

If you're stuck using Gnome, KDE, Window Maker, CDE, etc., there's a way out now!
Not for me there isn't. I'm poor, and unlike x86 computers, there aren't any super-cheap Macintosh computers.
What does "source-compatible" mean?
It means I can take the source code of a a Cocoa app that uses complicated Quartz calls, recompile it on gnustep, and It Just Works®.
