Can we get sco.slashdot.org then post on the main page only when something significant happens - like the release of the infringing code. I'd read The Godfather if I wanted to hear about crap like this.
In my opinion this is much like having your CD case stolen. You wouldn't be able to call the store where you purchased the CDs and ask for new copies right?
I'm failing to see how this is a disadvantage to the new system.
You should learn about the format before jumping to conclusions.
AAC at 128 easily surpasses MP3 at 256kbit. The kbit is not a representation of quality when you are comparing between two different methods. It's a representation of size.
So basically with AAC people will be downloading files no larger than the ones they are accustomed to but the quality will be worlds better.
Yeah dude, you're right. In two years we are going to be using fucking carrier pigeons to trade illicit Mp3s.
It _is_ a laughing matter because the original comment is not only completely devoid of humor, it's also exactly the type of borderline insanity that makes Chicken Little proud.
-5 dumbest joke ever. Way to try the karma whoring out though, I really think with a few more explanation points you'd be +5 for sure. Next time try combining the two points of your idiotic statement/joke into one. ie.
A carrier pigeon in the hand is worth two in George Bush's insane American regime. Hooray fanaticism!
You pay the same price for a movie no matter how good it is. Just be an informed consumer and don't buy crap.
Pretty basic.

What if my desktop PC is nowhere near powerful enough to approach the graphics quality of Xbox?
I can't afford a faster system so my Xbox is fantastic for playing games. For development, HTML work, and image editing my PC is fine but I'd much rather pay $200 for this type of experience than spend over a thousand on a new machine that could equal it.
Why are you even comparing consoles to PC in the first place? This isn't even apples vs oranges, it's more like watermelons vs tomatoes. They are two seperate and distinct entities and you can enjoy both.
Finally even if I did upgrade my PC, can I play MechAssault on that? Oh, that's right I can't.
After seeing how quickly the browser loaded and checking out the great new features I was quickly disappointed to find that I could not change any preferences in regard to mouse gestures.
In Mozilla I had my mouse gestures set to use the middle mouse button and I'm completely hooked on that. Now I find there is no way to do this in Pheonix.
michael's extremely unfunny and lame attempt at humor following the submitter's comments completely undermines all the good that our military does for us.
People who sleep less have more active lifestyles. More active people generally live longer than people who don't do anything.
Trash science. There is no correlation between the amount of time spent sleeping and the amount of time one lives. It's the lifestyle that dictates both.
Perhaps it was just me, but animation-wise I found this movie much more impressive than Shrek or Monsters Inc. There's an extremely talented group of people working for Square and as far as emotion and complex human animation goes I think they are currently the best team.
My guess is Pixar and or PDI are going to be looking very closely at acquisition.
I think it's Pathetic for you to assume that the two are mutually exclusive. I think it would be accurate to say that the same type of people start the petitions for both politics and pop culture; oftentimes it's probably even the same person.
You can't assume that because we are passionate about things that make us happy (good quality TV) that we aren't equally as passionate about things that make us sad (carnivore, DMCA).

They do, and then people don't buy them.
Contra: Shattered Soldier
Viewtiful Joe
Both not selling so hot.

Good to have the child molesters on our side.

For your sake it's a good thing they don't have a patent on misspelling words.
The Xbox version is a total blast.

You lose all credibility and any semblance of a lack of bias when you use a dollar sign in Microsoft's name.
You can't pretend to be impartial whilst typing like a retard.
No, they break if you look at them wrong.
I've had to replace mine once already.
Holy shit I just read it again. It's a comedy black hole, I'm close to tears here. Tears of pity.
Please, for the love of God or whoever/whatever you respect, do NOT try to be funny ever again.

Because killing off-topic idiots like you is illegal.

Those poems sucked worse than anything I've ever read ever.
but my mouse only has one button.
Nice try.
If I had moderation points right now I would score this +1 Sympathy.

I guess that's all I have to say. Best of luck to you both and Happy Valentines Day!
