I ride the buses here as well and am strongly in favor of the cameras, as a means of fighting pickpockets, harassment, graffiti, and other crime. Anyone who wants to blind these cameras should consider the consequences.
It adds a "substantial non-infringing use" exception to the anti-circumvention rule. This is a good thing as it would legalize many of the tools (e.g. DeCSS) that are currently barred, n'est-ce pas?
Of course it's not going anywhere in this Congress. But advocates for freedom can push for an expanded version to be introduced now, while giving Boucher credit for at least proposing a step in the right direction.
What were you doing sticking around trying to get our jobs anyway?
Sounds like a Teamster pissed at the non-union competition. Who made you the one to say whose jobs they are? If someone wants to work in tech, great, let 'em. If you're more qualified, you'll get the job instead, right? In the words of the late Clara Peller, where's the beef?
CDs provide more functionality than vinyl. WMA provides less functionality than CDs. Why would anyone switch, given the cost? And don't tell me that it will be required by law, because if all those Discmen out there don't work people will scream. (Example: the utterly dead-on-the-vine HDTV.)
Someone made threats against the President, which is illegal, and those were deleted (with a message in red that they had been, so it was clearly not fake).
Well, I don't know about slashdot as a whole, but I love iPod. Best toy I've bought in YEARS. Now I haven't tried to make it run with windows or linux (yet) as I'm an old mac fan, but it's great to know you can.
nausea is the nominative case of the Latin for "disgust"; nauseam is the accusative (direct object) case, which is what is used after the preposition ad (to, towards).
I'll admit it, I'm a fucking junkie. Got my uid sometime in 2000, and haven't been able to stay away since! Thanks guys for a fun site - despite all the problems, there's nothing else like it.
though I am finding the impersonations fucking hilarious, you probably want to make this at least a somewhat useful discussion. I would advise that you get a throwaway account and email the Editors from your GNU address to let them know who's who. Just a thought.
but NOT from the crapware sites like musicnet. Some well-known artists do sell their tunes online as mp3's, either individually or though real mp3 services.

Stopping Palladium?

When you download Palladium-protected content, it is encrypted using the client machine's unique public key, so it will only play back on the machine with the corresponding private key.
But this assumes that you'll download Palladium-protected content. Which, given the experience of Liquid, pressplay, SDMI, et al., is quite unlikely to ever happen in volume.

As a taxpayer who pays for graffiti cleanup, let me tell you emphatically that it is the right strategy.

Adults can go to jail for assault, kids can't if they're under 17 and don't commit a serious enough one. BIG difference.

Or they wouldn't have even gotten the letter, since they're owned by MPAA and DVD Forum member AOL Time Warner.

That said, Apple is doing the right thing, and I applaud them for it.
Thank you Apple.

Media Player? Jeez, doesn't anyone use Winamp anymore?! If you don't like Media Player don't use it.

HTH, HAND. (How do I say that in Latin?)

Earth to GNU/Crew: if you want people to use it, at least name it something that someone can understand.
From the picture it appears that they launched not far from where Black Rock City was a few short weeks ago.
The difference is that Cringely isn't asking people to smash Citibank windows and throw smoke bombs at the cops. Playing a DVD on Linux (say) doesn't piss off the neighbors quite in the same way, surprisingly enough.
And they're wrong. So post it somewhere else, end of story.
But look - he got the karma anyway! (As if it matters since karma is Obfuscated now.)

Really what else is there? I feel like the Subject Line Troll some days.
