AOL is for those who have no clue about computers, operating systems, Internet, etc. I don't see any reasons why AOL software should not take over their PCs (and their minds as well)
It was NOT RIAA who brought the compact disk!

RIAA Sues MP3.com

· Score: 1
That was Sony/Philips research which brought us the compact disk. At that time noone could have thought that the widespeard of PCs would allow to ordinary folks to reap the digital information directly from the CD, and so the Red Book specifications didn't include any provision for copy protection. Yet I guess the most important point is that (i) CDs are grossly overprised, and (ii) there is a large number of CDs with 1-2 hit songs and the rest is junk. Both are the reasons for rapid proliferation of both mp3 compression and exchange and copying CDs to R(W)CDs. RIAA is fighting the loosing battle. In fact I believe we so get used to the absense of copy protection, that SDMI as well as SACD (with built-in protection) are doomed to fail (not too sure about SACD but my gut feeling is it ain't gonna catch)
I remember the class on Signals and Systems where instructor (a well-respected figure, one of the co-authors of widely used textbook on Signals and Systems) claimed that the origins of FFT were found in some works of Gauss.
But this surely affects the quality. I bet after the first day of viewing you'll notice some artifacts. I have much better idea: a built-in time bomb. After exactly three days since the moment it came with a laser contact, DVD blows into pieces. (a viewer is expected to take all necessary precautions...) I leave the implementation details to more technically inclined Slashdot readers.
It seems like google search engine does something fundamentally different. At least it works for me like no other engine. In fact, once I've started using google, I'm finding things rather quickly and always on the mark. Apparently there *is* something they'are doing which is not trivial at all, and this probably should be patented. This is patenting the obvious which causes the negative reaction on slashdot.

there is a number of atheist web pages, such as www.infidels.org which can help you with rejecting Jesus as your saviour.
Remember, dude, WE WERE ALL BORN IN SIN ... Thus the list of sinners will be quite long and rather meaningless

COmplete TCP/IP compliant stack w/256Bytes? Are you on drugs or what?
