The 2000 tickets for the game music symphony concert of the FILMharmonic Orchestra of Prague at the Games Convention in Leipzig were sold out in under two hours, according to heise.de.
I use a slide rule rather than a calculator or computer in situations where it's appropriate. I have a cute little one I carry in my pants pocket, comes in very handy.
Is that a slide ruler in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
The "normal" 20GB iPod is gone from the Apple Store.
The new iPods have features like the former iPod photos (but apparently lost the "photo" part of their name), i.e. color display and photo capabilities, and in addition 15 hours of battery life and podcast support.
There are only 20GB and 60GB models, which sell for $299 and $399, respectively. The 30GB model is no more.
One example would be if you want to show your vacation video to your parents/friends/etc.
Of course, you could always burn it on a DVD or bring your powerbook, but chances are, you already take your iPod with you whereever you go, and could have a video session on a whim.
Let me start with saying that I'm not trying to defend file sharers. I'm not one of them. I also agree on your thoughts on inadequate sentences. But...
Perhaps now, with more of these File sharers servers going dark, I will be able to start to enjoy lower prices on my software and music [...]
Dream on. Most likely, this will never happen. The music industry didn't lower the prices of CDs since their initial rollout in the 80s, like they wanted us to believe. They are actually thinking about increasing the price for music downloads now that it is accepted by millions of users. What makes you believe they would lower their prices if they somehow managed to decrease file sharing, given their track record?
No, face it, even if all file sharing services all over the world would shut down over night, they would not lower their prices.
If the directive is approved, it will make it clear that any software patent granted up until now was unlawful and is therefore null and void. This will mean that patent holders will be forced to re-apply for their patents as soon as the directive is made law!
You are so wrong.
Software patents are not legal in the EU under current laws. But we already have about 30.000 software patents here. Nobody cares (well, those who are against software patents complain, but nobody in power cares). The patent office just continues granting those patents.
And you think that if they now pass a law that would allow software patents, that would render them null and void? No, all those patents will remain, because then, they will be actually unprohibited and retroactively made valid.

Look how the german IT people go nuts over this: already over 2500 comments in under 4 hours in the heise.de forums!
(And here's the detailed article (in German).)

*snicker*
Yeah, and he couldn't even be bothered to do a proper link [nesworld.com] to the list of games he references, instead telling us to Google it!
AFAIK, external links are not allowed on ebay.
That's probably why he did it this way.

Watching video on a 2 inch screen is insanity. No. It's just completely fucking stupid.
Can't the iPod Photo be connected to a TV?
Too bad that you are googlebombing the wrong URL in your sig. Better change that.
lol
Did any slashdotter talk to them yet?
Pimp my space shuttle!
Thanks! I'll check it out.
DRMcompany: "Take that!"

Grab a book or read some Websites.
Could you recommend any websites or books for a beginner in Cocoa GUI apps programming?
RockStar started small with GTA1 and the like, grew, and ultimately sold out.
They did? I missed that. To whom?

I heard that terrorists might even use tit to communicate.
That's also my favorite form of communication.
Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. We've already discussed this here. Readers, please read the whole thread to get everyone's opinion.
