Yes, i'm sure they'd love to pass up on all the profits they get for throat lozenges, decongenstants,pain killers, nice smelling hot lemon drinks etc... The PR would be good, but their profits would be destroyed.
Yes but... the first series of Red Dwarf was the best and it just got slowly worse after that.
You knew things had gone bad when Kochanski ends up being played by a different actress, like some cheesy soap opera.
Nearly a hundred years later you can give me the most advanced camera money can buy and I still wouldnt be able to produce photos as beautiful as these.

They would be paying billions anyway...whether or not Tito visits is irrelevant.
Whenever I see a story like this (or napster etc) I always wonder why people dont think of hosting the servers in some other country. Unfortunately America whilst having a laudable set of ideals in their constitution also seems to be a country where if you piss off someone in power (political or corporate) you will be slapped into the ground pretty quickly. Don't get me wrong this is not a jibe at America as you would encounter similar difficulties in a lot of "free" "democratic" countries worldwide. Now the question is what is a country that actually gives a crap about peoples right to say what they like?
Hm, say someone decides to exercise their right to free speech and release a spoken word mp3 about their opinions and call it - I dont know "metallic" or a word similar to a banned song.
Great work braniac, you are stifling speech by the act of (as others mention) assuming all the songs are "guilty" without proof.
Napster will never be able to completely block chosen bands, its as simple as that - human ingenuity can get past anything.
Someone has mentioned a possible solution to one of the problems (using vba to call a save file dialog - which incidentally some moderator who possibly hasnt even read the article moderated as offtopic!) but does anyone know the answer to the other two, or if they are just bugs. I've wasted more of my life than I'd have liked working with buggy Access, I even have some amusing error messages that I've screen dumped and I keep in my "errors" folder.
yeah we believe you - the story is about people who have "no real interest in technology", you must have some interest to read slashdot, or you enjoy boring yourself by reading stories that tend to be technology related.
Having said that You are right, pretty much anything beats working - like when you are a kid and anything beats studying, or tidying your room.
Seriously I know people who work with IT who dont have a genuine interest in technology, sadly a lot of those people turn out to be the people who's eyes bulge out and mouths froth with spittle as they insist you use Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Windows.
So its the parents responsibility to monitor children, but not someones own responsibility to not not drop hot liquid in their lap? Strange. Do Americans sue Ford if they fall in the road and get run over by a car?
"by all accounts" - ah, you've never used it.
It comes iirc with the first release of windows 95 and you would seriously struggle to use it to browse. I may be wrong but I seem to remember it doesnt send a HTTP_HOST header which will mean you can't even view a lot of sites.
I also rated people 1 or 2 if they are in a crazy position where you cant see what they actually look like. one of the highest rated women was spread eagled on a climbing frame so while you could see she was slim, you couldnt see if she was actually pretty. Anyone can be slim, not anyone can be pretty.
Sony Has Too Much of A Head Start Already

No X Box for Xmas?

As the article says Sony has a head start, true theres not quite the killer games there yet but if they release some "must have" games before the X Box is released then PS2s will be the console to have and once someone has a console they will be less likely to change. Witness the bashing that goes on between owners of competing consoles, they act more like its a religion than a games console:-) At the end of the day its the games that count and Sony will have a head start on that.
I don't know about your other examples but you might want to check out http://www.turing.org.uk/turing/ for some information about alan turing.
It would have been good if he was American, he might have lived a lot longer.
Er, the article says "The impact would be accurate to within a few hundred miles.". So much for targetting a particular town, they might miss the entire country!
I think they are called "skanks" and there are council estates full of them across the UK, living off government benefits, and producing skanky offspring in their image. Easy though it is to make fun of typical Americans (or insert your culture here) there is good and bad in all cultures.
Slashdot Mirror
Good points, shame I hadnt thought of them :-)
Sorry this is not inteded to be flamebait or anything - a genuine question.
I dont live in America so i'm puzzled - how do you only market to blacks?
I've never seen these kind of products (at least for men) here but they sound like a tempting alternative to razors.

512MB upgrade chip? wow!

Seriously I loved Amigas - the hardware and OS was fantastic for the time. I think the current equivalent is probably OSX, I hope to get a mac soon
Sad news indeed, but he will never truly die - he made a mark on the world, maybe mostly the geeky part but a mark nontheless.

As someone who swears by Abit motherboards I would say the time to get a dual athlon system is when Abit release a dual athlon motherboard.
