Honestly I'm suprised they are selling Tamiflu. First, the hype from swine flu is over for the time being and I don't see many people losing sleep over it. Second, Tamiflu is the kind of drug most people would just buy from legit sources, unlike facing the possible embarrassment when buying Viagra. And finally the company selling it would be in whole hell of a lot more trouble if someone died as a result of a fake vaccine than if someone just couldn't get hard on.
Software companies have been doing this for years. They get paid to bundle toolbars and other junk with legit software and unless you are careful and remember to untick the necessary check boxes they install. Ask has been the most recent offender in this area, doing it's best to carve out a small niche in the search market.
"In Congress, July Fourth, one thousand seven hundred and seventy six. A declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. When in the course of human events..."
Why even bother writing a code to tell someone that?
I predict they will genetically enhance the necessary parts to incorporate them into the weird porn industry that thrives in Japan. After the tunas career is up they can still serve his enhanced parts as a rare delicacy in restaurants.
This is just a blatant money grab to monetize Battle.net. They realize the first Starcraft is still being played a decade later, but they aren't making any more money. Throw some ads on Battle.net and you have a continuous revenue stream for years to come.
What's keeping Google from shutting down the account that are getting the illegitimate clicks? I doubt they could produce a hundreds of different account just because it would make receiving payment extremely difficult.
These states don't realize that anyone doing major affiliate sales will either get around their taxes, or the bans that affiliate programs place on a state. There is always an overseas country willing to take a bunch of rich technologically educated people.
Actually TV and Internet costs aren't that different. I pay a monthly fee for the line that goes to my house for both TV and Internet. When I watch a TV show I see commercials, and when I go to most websites I see ads. The only difference is that TV ads are far more obstructive to the content.
Welcome to last week Slashdot, I was really hoping for you guys to drum up a connection between Billy Mays and technology news. Maybe a scientific study on the effectiveness of oxi clean, or the possibility of a law limiting television volume.
Video Camera's aren't the barrier of entry, owning a computer/mobile device that has internet access is. Even if they did allow text comments I still need blow a few hundred bucks on a cellphone contract or a computer. Requiring video just makes sorting through the responses easier.
And it doesn't prevent you from participating in government. You can still call your local congressmen/senator for a few cents on a pay phone.
I can see how he thinks banning paraphrasing might help the newspaper industry. A huge number of high profile blogs are guilty of basically ripping the content off the original source and providing a tiny link on the bottom citing their source. I would agree that is unfair to the people that originally reported the story.
The linking part makes no sense however. Reuters and the AP want people linking to content on their site, it's one of main ways they get traffic. Unless the anchor text of the link is on huge ass summary than banning linking makes no sense.
4chan would rig it and have 7 billion people write in pedobear. Then they would convince a member to have his name legally registered as such and get plastic surgery to become a bear. Child porn, warez, and weird porn would be not only legalized, but taught in school and subsidized. Sad part is I think my oh so humorous prediction would be fairly accurate.
So now private beta websites that don't really do anything new get to the front page of slashdot? The only thing I can see is the front page, everything else requires a username and password. Let me know when they do something notable.
WTF is up with these editorialized summaries. The abbreviation is MS, or Microsoft if you prefer the long hand. Let people form their own opinion without stupid name calling.

Of course the reports build on one another, slashdot and every other copyright reform group do the exact same thing.
Not just MSDOS games, my netbook can run counter strike source.

This unofficial open source release signals that this will finally be the year of the cutting edge linux gaming platform.

How would it adapt to the darkness of my soul?

You aren't the mainstream media, you don't have to put those oh so clever puns in the title.
and involves underage hookers.
Anyone know last 1% isn't mapped? Is it just hard to access or is it part of a top secret organization?

So does this mean we can't hack anti piracy organizations any more? http://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-website-now-with-torrents-090502/ http://torrentfreak.com/riaa-site-features-torrentfreaks-latest-news-090504/
Screw that, I want my humans thumbs to be made out of this stuff. Think about the gaming possibilities!
We're huge.
