You wanna be my pimp-daddy, you goona hafta treat me right!
Look at the moderation it got! Two moderators marked it as informative! The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has about as much to do the the MP3 controversy as the RIAA has to to with DeCSS. Only one moderator recognized this as a troll, two others modded it up because it looked like a sig11 informative post!
I don't think you have the slightest idea what you are talking about on this. You are confusing copyright with trademark. The DMCA clearly prohibits the distribution of trademarked music by electronic means. Get your fact straight before you start spewing misinformation!
Nanotech will never gain popular acceptance in the same way that nuclear fission powerplants are shunned by the general population despite their stellar safety record. This is why the research funding for fusion power technologies has dried up, and I predict that nanotech will suffer a similar fate.

You're just jealous because he got to it first!
Sheesh, I pity the guy because he must just sit there all day with one hand doing 'refresh' all day on/. so he can look at his 500+ karma points and hope that someday it will compensate for some shortcoming in his shorts.
try actually reading the article next time, ok bub? The dell laptop they lent him came pre-installed, but he did put a second drive into his home computer and install OpenLinux himself -- or is it because he didn't install Debian or Slackware or (whatever else your bigoted distribution preference is) that you are spouting this crap about him not having to install and configure?
Oh, and WinNT is a pain in the ass to install, I don't care what you say!
>Dear MPAA: F*ck your intellectual property God he's getting good, hard to tell from the real thing. Kinda pointless for the real sig to even post anymore, dontcha think?
This is not necissarily so. I've often thought about this problem: how do combatants using lightsabers compensate for the awkwardness of the balance of the weapon if the blade is weightless?
The answer is simple, if you think about it.
The user of a lightsaber would find it almost impossible to properly control the weapon if the only weight were in the handle. The dynamics of the complex movements required for dueling require that the weapon be balanced.
The obvious answer is that the designers of the lighsaber include a mass-simulation technology that does in-fact creat the illusion and physical properties of an even distribution of weight in the lightsaber, enabling the user to correctly judge the force needeed to slash and parry blows with an opponent.
Quite the contrary. This type of input device would go a great deal further in creating the illusion of a virtual world that the player would find indistinguishable from the real thing.
People are more likely to feel frustration trying to use a keyboard to interact with a weapon than a physical object that more closely approximates the true characteristics of the object.
Don't underestimate the ability of individuals to relate to computer simulations using tangible facimilies!
The problem here is one of perceptual inconsistencies. The average gamer is far more likely to pattern gameplay movements around familiar mouse/keyboard lexicons. A physical device like this that simulates an real-life weapon such as a gun or sword will interfere with the users' perception of virtual reality and can never become a successful paradigm in the real world of computer gaming.

Oh yeah, and by replying to said troll, you are helping /. ??
That depends on which version of Apache you use...
This is possibly the most briliant troll schtick I've ever seen on /.
Dude, you are the man, keep it up!

No the conflict of interest only comes into play when the same legal team who is handling the prosecution also works for the defense.
...oh wait!
>David Boies, the lead attorney for the prosecution in the DOJ's lawsuit against Napster
I just want to be the first to point out that the DOJ has not brought suit against Napster, but the MPAA.

Nice try though.
