What, exactly, do you think people use to look at the LCD?
The viewfinder lets you see a completely inaccurate view, through a little tiny plastic lens, which incidentally may or may not include some or all of what the CCD is capturing. With the LCD, you see exactly what the CCD is capturing.
Did a camera LCD piss in your Cheerios or something? I simply posted a different opinion, and didn't really expect this little tirade.
I don't know any person with a digital camera that uses the viewfinder. Except people's moms, and they usually get laughed at. The LCD is much more convenient, and accurately portrays what the picture will be, rather than the distortion a viewfinder introduces (at least on non-pro cameras, which is all I've ever owned.
Captchas are a great anti-bot measure, but they're also just maddening sometimes. Ticketmaster's are the worst. Sometimes it takes me 3 or 4 tries to figure out what the hell it says. I'm technologically savvy, and have good vision. This is one of those things that I can't imagine my mother trying to figure out. There has to be a better way.
If you delete an episode and they show the same one the next day, it records it again.
Not if it knows better. This will happen when a show doesn't give an episode title, which is an issue with the guide data, not the TiVo software. Look at the description, and you'll see something generic. It plays it safe and records in this case, which I think is the right thing to do.
You advocate "beefy network equipment that can switch all traffic", but don't think that redundant NICs are necessary? Thanks for proving that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Yep, the Division Bell tour definitely didn't suck. My nosebleed ticket was $50, but they were going for $5 near the beginning of the show. Guess that's what you get for going to a show in a stadium that holds 100,000+.
you have no right to complain about apple saying iTunes pays the artists. Especially not if you advocate stealing music as an alternative.
Let me see if I have this straight.
In an article about the RIAA, a comment using the term "stealing music" is posted. It gets instantly modded down into oblivion, and there are a dozen replies about the differences between "stealing" and "copyright infringement".
In an article about iPods, a comment is made that people that don't use iTMS are said to be "stealing". There are no replies, and the comment is modded up.
library management I have come to enjoy from itunes.
There's one aspect I've found sorely lacking. I have a hodgepodge of Linux tools I use, and only use iTunes for my iPod. Every time something new gets added, I have to add it manually into iTunes. Winamp has an option to periodically scan from your library root directories.

And since I run a legit corporate copy, it's staying blocked.
... but if you ran a stolen corporate copy, you'd unblock it? ;-)
The viewfinder lets you see with your own eye.

Just how much do "exclusive rights" cost?
You're missing the point. It's not a matter of how much "exclusive rights" cost.
For a hint on what the real point is, consult a dictionary for the meaning of the word "exclusive".

Wouldn't it have been faster, and cheaper, to just drink the bottle you bought, rather than dropping a peppermint into it? ;-)
I agree, the tags are annoying and utterly useless. Don't stop logging in, though, just turn the tags off in your preferences.
Two correct uses of the word "irony" in the reply to the same post? Hell has officially frozen over...

So? Since when do facts get in the way of conspiracy theories on /.?
Does this mean AsSeenOnTV can have his job back?
AVG is quicker to update and the interface looks more modern
I'll say. That monster that pops up when you get a virus is so scary, you'll never want to surf shady websites again. Now that's what I call modern.
Is this a joke? I stopped right here:
an intruder he found in his bedroom.
This guy would have a hole in him the size of a bowling ball if he had been in my bedroom. And in any state in the US I know of, I would win in court.
if you're on linux, you should already know how to do this
Why would you think this? Besides, typing "/etc/hosts" would have taken fewer keystrokes.
I really don't like the boops.
So turn them off, then.

So people can't stop playing games? Your comment makes absolutely zero sense.
Oh. My. God.
Are you suggesting that Microsoft has something to do with this? Seriously?
That has to be some sort of record, even for a slashdot comment.

Er, no. Sorry, I was vague.
I do my ripping/encoding on Linux. I run iTunes on Windows for the sole purpose of syncing my iPod.
I should probably start syncing with Winamp and be done with it.
Not everyone wants what you want. Film at 11.

Anyone know of a solution to this?
