Or maybe not, but we'll finally answer the age-old question of whether human brain goes better with a red or a white whine.
Judging by the lack of intelligence or taste of zombies I would guess a cheap mass-marketed beer. On the other hand, Livers, as we know, are best pared with fava beans and a nice chianti.
Aren't most e-readers able to display PDF files? I am sure e-PUB has more features, but creating multi-page PDFs or converting docs using Calibre seems to work well.
BTW, If we get rid of publishers, we lose the editor. Get ready for 1,000 page epics about cats.
I'm sure such feline themed tomes exist already, but I'm too lazy to check Amazon to verify.
It's corporate welfare, possibly on the scale of the "too big to fail" banking and auto industries bailouts. The supporters of this bill wanted the government to be thier own copyright police at taxpayer expense.
You do a google science search, find an article that support your point and say something like this : According to that emeritus researcher in HR, removing access to music during work reduce worker productivity by n%. Therefore the cost of blocking music is 500*p$(employee)*n% per year while the cost of efficiently stream it is a one time cost of 200$ + 40$/Hr*10Hr plus a maintenance cost of 1Hr*40$/Hr per year, what do you choose.
(PHB) we're not paying our workers to listen to music. Block all the music sites. And this "google.com" site as well. You seem to be spending a lot of time there instead of working.
Competent IT will put in Stream reflectors for the users.
We put that in place for the 10 top played internet radio streams in the company, the $200.00 linux servers connects, and then rebroadcasts the stream to up to 500 users.
So I have 500 people listening with the bandwidth overhead of 10.
But when the competent IT staff proposes this management says 'Why don't we just block the streaming sites on the firewall for free?"
I'm pretty sure that you are replying to a troll though. The 'company's bandwidth streaming music' bit was a bit of a giveaway - streaming Internet radio uses very little bandwidth and lots of people work better with music in the background.
A single user streaming internet music is neglibile. A hundred can saturate your network connections to the point that the apps the employees should be running are no longer functional.
Using RIAA methodologies results with damages exceeding the entire economic output of the entire world for several decades. MPAA methodologies result in neither Oracle or Google ever having turned a profit despite both being among the most successful companies of all time.
Not to mention that a GUI-less mode was available in Windows Server 2008 already.
Server core first appeared in server 2008 and was improved in 2008 R2. In typical Microsoft fashion a product becomes truly usable around the third release so Windows admins should prepare to start using Server Core when Windows Server 8 is released.
In case some of the Slashdot readers take the joke (and what used to be true) as the current state of affairs I thought it worth correcting them (otherwise they will have a mistaken view of the *current* performace of the JVM). It turns out today that Java on the Oracle JVM is faster than pretty much every other general-purpose language except for FORTRAN (which is fast 'cause it so simple - which is why FORTRAN programs still dominate much of supercomputing). Don't take my word for it. Take that of James Gosling (a biased source):

and the French supercomputing facilties of INRIA (an unbiased source):

That may be so, but the GUI handling in Java royally sucks. I very rarely see a graphical Java app that can't bring the fastest of PCs crawling painfully slow.
Yup...same here. From reading the summary (and only that...yeah me!) I assumed that 'once all the resources run out the war happens.' And Mad Max shows up.
I've never used any backup solution on any platform that wasn't a complete pice of crap. Backing up to/dev/null is much faster and only slightly less reliable for restores.

Bah, Only 176 pages. You can do better than that.

They will still get deals where required books are overpriced and rereleased.
And DRMed so they self-destruct at the end of the semester.
And since the keyboard is mightier than the sword beware. I have a keyboard and I'm not afraid to use it.
You own an IBM Model M keyboard?
A Model M is dangerous only if you have better upper body strength than the typical slashdotter.
I think my prediction is somewhat more likely.
99.99% of the people reading this article will be dead in 100 years.

Lawyers getting in trouble for falsifying information? My god i thought lawyers were the good guys!
How good can they be when you hire one to defend yourself from another member of thier profession.

Cool! Perhaps Tina Turner will make a comeback.
FIRST POST
Obviously you aren't running Java, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to post so fast.
Time Machine, Apple OS.
Doesn't do much good for all of the Windows, UNIX and Linux servers I'm backing up...
The Angry Birds cornered the market on slingshots as well.
Wile E. Coyote. It appears he has found a job as an engineer at a defense contractor.
That's not a real comparison.
I have less on my credit cards than Bill Gates, but he is not more bankrupted or in debt (in comparison to what he brings in) than me.
I would bet that his American Express bill is enormous, but he pays off the balance every month.
Misread summary. I need to stop posting before caffeine.
I've never used any backup solution on any platform that wasn't a complete pice of crap. Backing up to /dev/null is much faster and only slightly less reliable for restores.
