What if you drag a thing that's not music to it? Does it actually try to play it as music?
You got a good point there; an invalid file will cause a typical MP3 player to explode. Apple is the only company that makes a music device that doesn't kill the user when there is an error.
It wouldn't be laughable except you're in the minority and won't actually have any impact.
Heheheh. Stepped outside lately? Compared to what some politicians, pundits, and others say, he's actually pretty moderate. He didn't even advocate using them as slave or contestants on a televised show where you fight to the death, much less that it should be legal to vivisect anyone who might maybe have glanced at a child once perhaps.
This legislation would only affect organizations and individuals within the state of Texas, whose customers are also within the State of Texas, when dealing with local and state authorities. And even with that very significant limitation, the fact that internet traffic is, by definition, interstate, means that this piece of legislation has next to zero chance of surviving in Federal court. Federal law and jurisdiction trumps state law; And all a court needs to say to put an end to this is say "Interstate commerce! Congress only! Denied."
So State Police aren't bound by state law? What an amazing civics teacher you had!
Wow, you're such a victim. It's amazing that you actually think that the President of the United States has made it his personal mission to crush you and your clowns at Fox News. Do yourself a favor and go get tested for paranoid schizophrenia or something, and maybe once your treated, you'll stop blindly believing all the crap that randomly pops up in Bill O'Reilly's head to justify the right wing's politician's failures to do absolutely anything to benefit the country in the last thirty years. Or wait, maybe you should, because after all, I could be an agent of the BIAS LIBERAL MEDIA out to steal your guns, abort your children, and make you gay marry a pothead.
Supply-Demand economics don't stop functioning practically ever, if you shut up shop in protest so you can sit around and sneer at everyone else instead then someone with more business sense than you will open up in your place.
Ayn Rand proved that wrong, understand? Without managers, the leeches will have nothing to do and beg us to keep taking their money. Isn't it time to stop basic society in facts and start acting on pure, unrealistic ideology and the idea that selfishness is the only virtue? You need to stop with this ``economics'' and ``good society'' stuff and read some Atlas Shrugged! (You do own a copy, right?)
If he was innocent, he'd have said so right out of the gate. He did no such thing. He attacked the messenger. Since the video allegation surfaced, he's been silent on the whole thing.
Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Has Slashdot really fallen so far that even Glenn Beck posts here?
The vehicle in violation is legally registered in the name of the rental car company. The entity to whom the vehicle was registered is responsible for fines; if it is a teenager driving mom's car runs a red light at gets seen, then his mother will get the ticket; if I loan you my care and you park on the courthouse lawn, I'll be responsible for the fine, because it was my property that was in a forbidden area. Tell me how it works in Europe - is it a valid defense to say that it wasn't you driving the car in traffic court?
How many Christian or Jewish groups are throwing acid on womens faces, beheading people for heresy, or suicide bombing crowded markets because someone in the crowd had a minor deviation in religious observance?
Try reading his books. "In the future, we'll master string theory and have robots smaller than an electron to do all the work and Jedi Knights traveling the universe at one hundred trillion times the speed of light!" He makes Kurzweil look like a depressed, pessimistic misanthrope.
that may or may not have been worth anything at all
Well gosh, I don't know what to say. With that amount of evidence we might as well just skip to sentencing.
It's the same as when MS "donates" software with a high-dollar-value to a school district and tries to lock them into the MS tool chain or upgrade cycle.
I have to admit, I am guilty of this. I gave a guy a car once, and he planned his life around the use of that car. Now he is doomed to the hell that is the GMC part dealers or upgrade cycle. I can't believe how selfish it was of me. Shame on me.
Try tallying the carbon footprint and resource consumption of a yacht versus a garden.
Heheheheheh, yeah, I'm sure you're really concerned about those things, even when not pretending to ``be an intellectual'' online social crusader, right?
Also consider how many lives you could save with how much it costs to build a massive yacht.
How many lives could you be saving right now, were you not posting on Slashdot? Zero, because you are a pathetic, autistic, worthless loser who has to play an armchair psychoanalyst and ethic philosopher just to muster enough petty joy to avoid killing yourself.
Oh god, that's disgusting! She basically just gave a school district stuff in a really round-about way right there. How many goats do you have to sacrifice to be that evil?
If they never talk to you again then they have no reason to like you enough to give you anything. As the scum that is willing to participate in something like this aren't very trustworthy themselves, they likely will just take the $500 and leave.
That's the problem with running a gang of thieves and thugs, it's always a wolves and sheep puzzle with these people.

That reminds me: did all of you know that drug addiction in the US is on the increase?
The percentage of Americans who are addicted to one or more drugs is going up.
Interesting that crime rates across the US are in decline as drug addiction goes up,
This thread has 78 posts, almost 20% of all comments on this story as of when I am typing this sentence. If he's trolling, he's pretty good.

It will boost your karma from negative to neutral at least. I don't know if it can effect it after that.
Except the nightly of Opera is called Opera Next . But by all means, don't let that stop you from karma !
You'd better be prepared for a lawsuit from PETA, Samantha Wright.

Clearly, things like having the society own the automated factories and distribute production quota to its citizens is out of the question.
Obviously, that would be evil socialism.
Oh wait, were you being facetious? We'll see what the police have to say about this.

Texas being the largest welfare state
No.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they killed themselves in the span of a month.
You're a stupid child.

The dramatic increase in the number of his delusions.
How the fuck would that work? Would all DNS request go to the magical Invisible Hand in the sky to sort them out?
Then clearly the answer is to get the government to give him this worthless property.
Come on, they are electric ants! Clearly, it came from Red Alert.

Google makes tons of money in other areas, far more than enough to run YouTube.
Heheheh, do you think they are a charity? Grow up.
