With todays huge portable hard-drives, who cares about online P2P for sharing music? If sharing music is what you want to do you should rather take a harddrive over to your friend's house and copy his music collection. Then he can take it to another friend, and so on... Within a couple of links... all music available to everybody!
Just a thought. It would be much more convenient than waiting hours for the next album of Britney Spears to download.
But acording to a recent slashdot posting: "Sony has delayed the launch of the PSP handheld gaming system in the U.S. until it has a 'reasonable amount' of titles to launch with the system. This will push the PSP to 2005 in the States..."
My question is: How Did You Get Hold Of PSP Already?????
"The Copyright Board has actually found that the source needn't be a legitimately purchased or owned medium for a perfectly legal personal copy to be made."
I presume that a legal personal copy may be made if you previously own the rights to posess that piece of music, e.g. you own a CD, and download the mp3/ogg rather than ripping it your self. I don't think you can extend this to "downloading all music is legal". I might be wrong, though.
And in return JetBlue get to choose their own colour for their passengers: BLUE.
So from now on, when you travel with JetBlue, you will have to stick your head in a bucket with blue paint so that the automated face recognition systems can identify your risk factor.
I think Northwest was originally opting for RED. However, when they realised that this would mean that their passengers would all be escorted from the airport in armoured vehicles. As this would be bad for bussines, they are now opting for black.
"The success of our SCOsource licensing initiative, at least initially, will depend to a great extent on the perceived strength of our intellectual property and contractual claims and our willingness to enforce our rights..."
The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing. Or was it the other way around...
I think they are working themselves up to show that Windows XP, which I think came from Digital Unix is a derivative work of some obscure Unix code which SCO owns. Therefore SCO really owns all Microsoft products. I'd hurry up and buy SCO shares while they still are cheap!
Yes, it is your network and your rules. However, they are also your users. Without your users, you will be without a job. Users need, and rely on getting their email. Even if there is lots of spam comming rom a certain country, don't you think you should allow your users to receive email from these countries?
I am saying this because I have been a user not receiving *important* emails from certain people because some network admin. decided that email from a particular subnet was not worth receiving.
Don't forget that you might hurt your own users by this approach. It is much better to let the users themselves filter email with user-level clients. It should be your job to make this easy/possible for them. Not deny users their email. I much prefer Mozilla's approach. Leave it up to the individual. Don't presume you are able to make the correct desission for others!

It's not about nationalism, it's about choosing what to buy. You buy from them because you like their goods. They don't buy from you because they don't like yours. That's what freedom, my friend. Freedom to spend your money where you like. How can this be 'despicable if they intend to keep exporting stuff to the rest of the world at the same time'? They are only exporting things they want to sell and which you want to buy. It's just as much about *your* choice as theirs.
For a moment there, I thought that the Higher Education Committee had released a report using P2P. Now that would have been cool. What a way to show that P2P has legal uses!

I have always wanted to date a virtual girl with slashdot displayed on strategic 3D body surfaces...
I guess you didn't read the paperhouse-page thoroughly enough to note that it is actually talking about the same project.
Just imagine: a combined mobile phone, camera and endoscope!
That's a different department: internal affairs.
It would certainly stun every computer...

"The way it's set up is to leverage groups of people whilst folding the advances back into the core."
...
That sounds disturbingly like the Borg
So you use the term "playing well together" as an eufemism for applying extreme violence? You are a sick puppy!
I think that should be "Pentium 3!" ...
That's not really an option for me. I prefer tits from ass.
I'd be more likely to get a full time job creating software than playing football, though;)

I'm glad to see them use tieir money on something good, and not wasting it on stupidities ...

You did not get the point did you? The point is not to deny access. The point is to make a statement.
This reminds me of a sf-film: "The Cube". An no. Sf does noe mean that the subtitles were done in serif fonts.

"...Is there a reason we can't say FPS?..."
Yes. The reason is that there are no vowels.

And what is the origin for the French word? Maybe there is a connection.

No, it only applies to "use of the Emacs editor".
