I've worked as a loader at UPS, and 99% of the time when a package was damaged it was due to poor or improper packing. A well packed and secured box can go through a lot of stress and the contents inside will not get damaged. But when someone ships a TV in a paper thin cardboard box with one piece of scotch tape holding it together, they shouldn't have expected it to get there in one piece.
One article and you people go nuts. I've been around Slashdot long enough to know that they have posted many articles with far less relevance than this, and they're still around.
You don't have to read the article if you don't want to; you can even customize the homepage to filter out entire sections you don't care for. Slashdot isn't owned by the community; it's owned by a group of people who will do whatever they please with it, and have been quite successful doing so for quite some time.
You mean just like Bush waffled on a large portion of major decisions he made while in office? All politicians do it; it's just the GOP has run out of mud to try to sling at Kerry so they take something that when Bush does it it's called "adaptability" and when Kerry does it it's called "waffling."
Where have you been; they covered the elections in 2000 quite heavily, and Slashdot has been all over the Patriot Act.
The nice thing is that this may be one of the few places where there are enough intelligent people in one place to have a decent discussion about the content of the movie and what it has to say (you just might have to browse at 5 to see it.)
The other sites you give have absolutely no reputation either. Cato is not a research institute, but a political organization with certain goals in mind. They are not doing independent research, and anything they put out should be given as much attention as any other Republican or Democratic thinktank out there.
For one, he canceled an interview with Fox News at the last minute.
I am unable to find any information on this claim; nor do you give his reason for canceling the interview. There could have been many reasons, and greater people than him have canceled interviews before. (Most such interviews are not paid, so if he had something better to do, I don't blame him.)
We've also had Napster and Rhapsody products in the store; but we used Rhapsody on all of the store kiosks. More than likely all this means is that we'll be using Napster instead of Rhapsody on our kiosks in the stores.
That and including the fact that most people have incredible difficulty distinguish people of races other than their own. Thus, while it might be possible to determine that someone is from the middle-east; it would be very hard to figure out exactly which country they are from. (Especially since ethnic groups in the area are not confined to country borders).
Most people are opposed to the DMCA and the tactics used the RIAA to come after people who violate copyrights. Most of these people are not actually causing the RIAA or its artists significant financial harm; yet the law allows them sue for very substantial amounts.
The main problems with the DMCA are the anti-circumvention laws.
The only contract involved when buying a CD is the contract for sale. There is something called "Fair use" which is guaranteed by US copyright law that allows the holders of a legitimate copy of a work to make backup copies, etc. The same law also prohibits unauthorized distribution of a copyrighted work.
The opinion clearly states that the stop was based on "reasonable suspicion," and therefore this only applies in such cases, and it only applies in the state of Nevada.
Those crying "1984" and other nonsense need to actually read something other than the headline.
I really wish Microsoft would allow one to create an 'Automatic Update' cd that you can download from a secured source. Pop that in before Windows goes online and run all that stuff. That'd be useful for any OS, really. Oh well, guess MS won't innovate there until somebody else does.
You can do that already; each of the security packs can be downloaded independent of Windows Update and be put on a CD which you can install later without putting the computer on a network to do so. Incidently, the only patch required to fix the problem is the article is the one for the Sasser worm, which could even fit on a floppy disk.
This is a very common practice, especially in software development where the manager will be working very closely with everyone. You also see the same thing in higher education quite frequently.
Unless you're replacing something with a $50-100,000 per user license with something open-source and 'free', then it's probably going to end up costing about the same in the long run.
Floods, hurricanes, torandos, etc. are all considered 'an act of God,' by insurance companies, (which is why they usually require additional coverage for such events.) These are not unexplained or freak phenomena. Thus, it makes sense that a meteorite would fit into the same category.
Most of my family is still on dial-up; so I post the images to a web server and allow them to browse them at their leisure, rather than forcing them to sit and wait for an hour to see 100 pictures they probably don't care about anyway.
The analogy given is poor anyway, this method is only practical when both people are in the same room along with the devices they wish to use to share the data. How often does that occur?

Just about anywhere you send your computer for service will make you sign an agreement waiving any right to privacy.
They didn't block port 25 for everyone; only the people that were sending a crapload of spam.

The movie *is* truthful, and if you think otherwise, please state specific claims.
There was a great quote by a member of the Bush Administration the other day on CNN, it was something to the tune of:
"This is the kind of movie we don't even have to watch to know that it is full of errors and lies."
Way to add credibility to what you have to say, by discounting something while admitting you haven't seen it.
Cato? Real research?
The other sites you give have absolutely no reputation either. Cato is not a research institute, but a political organization with certain goals in mind.

Fox News actually gave Fahrenheit 911 a very favorable review.

If something SHOULD be a Right, but its not in the Constitution, its not a Right.
Ever heard of the 9th and 10th Amendments?

Of course, without all of NASA's developments and the tons of spent by the government in the past, would this private venture even be possible?
This is a very common practice, especially in software development where the manager will be working very closely with everyone. You also see the same thing in higher education quite frequently.
I wasn't say 100,000 user license, I said $50,000-$100,000 per user license.
Unless you're replacing something with a $50-100,000 per user license with something open-source and 'free', then it's probably going to end up costing about the same in the long run.
You didn't actually expect to include for free with Office a much better grammar checker did you?

I'm surprised the insurance paid at all, since usually "Acts of God" are not usually covered by homeowner's insurance by default.
