You could say the same thing to microsoft, or did you forget they themselves got hit with it too?
To make a long story short, this is really nothing new; they're using firewalls, even though they're calling them 'proxy servers' and 'ballotting systems' for some reason.
Personally, i'll never buy a Kodak product again. I have a DVC-323 sitting here that basically only works well with Windows 98, because Kodak refuses to release the specs for it, even after it's been discontinued.
I remember seeing something like this about 4 years ago that used your avreage vcr as a backup medium. Apparently one VHS tape could hold around 1 gig of data, but it took about two hours to get it on there.
Try about 15 years ago. I bought one of these things with the assurance that it would work with my old betamax recorder, which it didn't. No point sacrificing a VCR that you're still actually using..
And I suppose the artifacts never had anything to fear from Iraq being run by an expansionist, sadistic madman who is known to do things such as setting whole oil fields on fire.
It was recently discovered (through aerial imaging) that saddam built one of his palaces on the ruins of the tower of babel.
Philips V2000 format was better than the both of them. It had double sided tapes, supeior picture quality, embedded timecode and really long tapes.
Yeah, but appearently philips wouldn't allow pre-recorded pornographic material to be distributed in that format, so video rental shops weren't that interested in it...
Slashdot Mirror
As a coincidence, the year 2427 is also when IPV6 will be finally implemented.
"He has also recommended that former slashdot editor, Chris DiBona, be appointed to a panel offered by SCO to examine the evidence."
Why's that? So that it can get sent to court three or four times?
No, so he can shout "SCO is dead!", even before the trial starts, spoiling it for everyone...
a pegasus is simply a winged horse. a _unicorn_ has a horn.
Yes, but a Pegacorn is your top of the line, fully equipped mythical steed.
And then there's ofcourse Unisus, its bastard brother... it tried to sue Pegacorn but is now largely irrelevant and working as a services horse.
Anyone who wants to use a pop up having to bow down before the porn master who dreamed up the sleazy idea?
Goatse.cx guy did. nuff said.
Reinforced cardboard would do the same job just fine, with much less impact on the environment.
Too bad about the EM interference. Don't they have the equivalence of the FCC in japan?

I can't wait for TheSims 3, the version where people have to actually get off their fat asses and go outside to interact with living human beings...
I hear there's an opening for Iraqi Information Minister...
Do not trade mp3's you sick devil dogs!
..but can it perform felatio like my other "massage therapist"
I'm afraid i can't do that, Dave.
how many iraq's have a computer
..
Well, from the pictures of the looting, a lot more than a couple days ago.
And ofcourse there's always Saddam's stash of PS2's.
How hard would it be to make those net-ready?

*shrug* move along, nothing to see here.

Screw them.

So yeah, he couldn't care less.
Australia is notoriously regulation happy (yesterday sent off $100 fine for NOT voting in the election - that's how regulated we are.)
If only they did the same in the USA, there wouldn't be a warmongering moron at the helm there now, for sure...
Voting should be your duty, not just your right.

Ever wonder what VHS stands for?
Video Home System...
I didn't see the U.N. pass a resolution, and I didn't hear an "Axis of Evil" tag attached to it.
In this post-columbine, post-9/11 time, we must think of the children!
If you don't watch the superbowl, you're supporting terrorism!
You know you want to watch, because it's what jesus would do...
Did i forget any?
Vote Linus!
As much as you'd want to do that, Linus is not eligable to be a presidential candidate, since he's not an american born citizen...
The first thing that came into mind when i saw "Water Cooled Power Supply", was "Darwin Award"...
It'll probably end up there somewhere in the coming months, now that this has been on slashdot.
I bet they'll still be good eatin'! :}
Will probably taste like chicken.
The show lasted 30 years. In fact, it lasted "almost 40"... but it didn't make it 40 years, just almost.
38 years is almost 40. It's nowhere near 30.
PS Whoever modded the parent -1 offtopic is on crack.
from slashdot:
The BBC news site reports their decision to ditch the Popular science show, Tomorrows World , after 30 years.
from the article:
Tomorrow's World, the BBC's long-running popular science programme, has been dropped from its weekly TV slot after almost 40 years
Would it have been so hard to take a peek at the article, Hemos?
Microsoft are ignoring a very large part of their users, mainly script kiddies.
All 13 year olds should boycott them until windoze is translated into 313375p34k!
(At least that'd get rid of the DDoS attacks on IRC Networks)
Yeah, Never mind computer users ,independent labels or other legal uses.
It looks more like these are CD's that have to be pressed, not CDR's useable by computer users.
Don't these CD's have to be pressed in a factory?
Anyway, it's inexcuseable, but probably something the RIAA would do too if they could get away with it.
