Right, but if it's not mandated by law, then there will be no problem for those of us who don't want Palladium to keep buying Macs and *nix boxes and happily consume media. So BSA is right, and **AA are wrong, in this case.
yes. Glass is the vastly superior packaging choice - preferably the big reusable glass bottles.
In Mighigan 10 years or so ago they still had reusable half liter bottles of pop (as they called it there). Excellent. I think these are gone now, though.

Which is doing a better job at stopping spam you say?
You may have heard that you can buy or sell anything on eBay!
I have SpamAssassin at my isp (Verio) and it kicks ass. Probably a false positive per week (and that's often a slashdot Daily Stories email), and a false negative every 3-4 days. Pretty damn good. Cut inbox crapola from 10-20 per day to, well, zero.
Right. That's why we have laws on infringement. Requiring copy protection forbids legitimate uses as well, so it's bad for the consumer, no matter what.
I hate PPV anyway. Anything that will kill it is fine by me.
We can record it now with a VCR, so we should be able to continue to do so in the digital future. If the cable industry can't handle this, they should not offer digital PPV. Duh.
His point is that the restrictions themselves,, regardless of the rules applied, are bad. I agree. If they don't want to send it in unrestricted format, then we should just stick to analog TV, which works just fine, and either auction off or make unlicensed the HD spectrum.
Fuck 'em. If they can't play by reasonable rules of good behavior, I have no sympathy when they end up being smacked down for (in this case) fraudulent misrepresentation of their opponents.

They are the wave of the future, and always will be.

This is so they can add Bush and Rumsfeld to the replacement Mt Rushmore.
Huh? He owns a hosting company, yet can't pay $20/month for space on mp3.com? I really don't get it.
I don't get it. MP3.com can't afford to give the guy free web space. what's the problem? he can't put up a website for his tunes?

New here, aren't you?
Haven't had an email I actually care about get assassinated yet. Slashdot Daily Stories are nice and all, but not that important!

I say, why not? If the thing works, I suspect it will be useful, for the reasons described by others on this thread.

You can Pre-Order it on Amazon along with your Segway! (They'll hang onto your $475 for .. well .. a long time.)
So you're saying you get paid to FP? Where on earth do I get such a job?

You mean like SourceForge?
Or just add free beer. CD plus four bottles of Guinness Pub Draught would definitely make me more likely to install it!
Now my browser will crash even more often, until I remember (AGAIN) to disable Java.
please click here to install it before proceeding to the courthouse. thank you.

Or (D) they're lazy fucks. I have definitely found myself in that category from time to time.
remotely disable it? What kind of DRM engineers are they if they can't?
