I don't see why Nintendo can't get in on the action too.
Can't or won't? I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Nintendo fan, but this sounds a lot like "we're used to getting $50-$60 a pop for games, and these new kinds might make us drop our prices."
Won't. If there are people out there who can run emulators and play the actual game, why can't Nintendo simply create a playable version themselves? Plenty of computing power there, or the emulated versions wouldn't run. For that matter, Nintendo could simply create a custom emulator as an app, and sell their own version of roms for it.
Although it was inferred in another post (and I didn't look through the hidden ones), am I really the first person to ask if they are going to call this new cloud city "Bespin"?
Releasing 4 major versions in one year is immature, and Mozilla should no better. What motivation do they have other than competing with the other browsers that have higher version numbers? Stupid.
In all fairness though, if they wanted to do that, they could just make the next version Firefox 10, and when people complain saying "where's the other versions?" simply say there are none. Doesn't sound any more ridiculous than having 3 or 4 full version releases in one year.
What's the market value of a copyrighted work whose copyright owner has declined to offer copies for sale to the public? Case in point: Disney's Song of the South, and Nintendo's Mother and Mother 3 outside Japan.
It should be the same as a similar work from the same source. An unreleased Beatles song isn't worth $1 billion just because it's unreleased. If someone found a mint condition Picasso that nobody knew about and refused to sell it, that wouldn't be worth $1 billion either. I'm just saying that availability of an item still only plays a partial part in determining it's value.
Do I rip my DVDs and put them on my iPod? Absolutely.
And you do realize that ripping your own encrypted DVD and putting it on your own iPod is 100% illegal because you circumnavigated the DRM of the disc, right? By doing that, you are as guilty of breaking the law as anyone downloading the same disc. That is, unless all you own are $2 Laurel and Hardy DVDs where the company didn't bother to encrypt the disc at all.
So, we should get rid of all cashier positions, since people can simply check themselves out. Let's get rid of restaurants and cook positions because anyone can cook for themselves. Right?
Yeah, but if you do that, then the guards and prison administration can't use THEIR phones, and that would be too much of an inconvenience. Plus, if you've got guards and such making money from smuggling them phones, they aren't going to want to hamper that market, either.
The "WTF" is that it's not a bunch of scientists, it's just entertainment television and nothing more. There's some math and science involved, but the actual purpose of the show is just to have something fun and interesting to watch.
Yes well, except there's a third party that you don't normally consider that is storing all those whispers.
I thought we all learned a long time ago to assume that our conversations (and data) are stored somewhere by someone. Twenty years ago there were cases of private e-mails being read and distributed among office workers. People were even getting fired and sometimes divorced over it. That established what our expectations of "electronic privacy" should be. Now it's no different. In fact, joining a SOCIAL network, you should expect information is going to be shared. That's what a social network is.
Well, I'd say the majority of the members of Anon aren't exactly rocket scientists to begin with. How careful are you going to be when you're used to trolling porn, weed, and Boxxy threads?
You guys can argue about "brake" and "break", I'm just trying to figure out WTF "snarky" means, and why anyone wanting to sound credible would even use it.
If they can't see ALL of you, then they take you aside and pat you down. So with this device, instead of seeing you, they are going to take you aside and feel you up.
Yes, they are making at least SOME false reports, depending on how they report it. If they report that the student is running a file sharing app, then yes, that's true. If they report that the student is downloading copyrighted material and breaking copyright laws when in fact they are NOT, then that most certainly is filing a false report.

Does /. now get shut down by Sony for posting the key?

Meant to say "circumvented"... it's still early.

wtf guys?

No, Han is the bartender and doesn't fight OR drink.

Subatomic things tend to move around when they get warm.
The amount that subatomic things more around is the definition of warmth.
My grandmother doesn't get the appeal of the internet either, but that doesn't make it irrelevant.
You're missing a lot of fads that are gone, such as facebook, YouTube, Google... there's just nothing on the internet anymore.
It's not like you can't USE Netflix if you only have Linux. Just order the DVDs the way those without internet access do. Problem solved.
Any child under 10 using any internet capable device should have eyes-on supervision while using it, all the time.

Takes a lot for me to laugh while reading on the internet, but this did it. Thanks!

You haven't been able to send torrent links for a LONG time now, at least since the first part of this year.
Exactly... someone from Microsoft says Linux is dead and it makes the news. Hmph. I also heard a manager for Pepsi say that Coke sucks.
A comment like that makes me want to break into this guys house and "steal" all of his stuff so that he can learn the meaning of the word.
Yeah, it makes about as much sense as saying I'm stealing from Slashdot if I print this thread out and lay it on my desk.
