  1. Re:Privacy on More Napster Than You Can Shake A Copy-Protected MP3 At · · Score: 1

    Have you tried iMesh? I like it better than Napster. You can resume, it will tell you the availibility of the file, it has bitrate support, etc... The only downside of it that I can see is you _HAVE_ to share your files....and that's not really a downside if you are trying to get a service to take off. (who wants to use a service with nothing to download)

  2. Re:Lets not go overboard... on Suing Over... Fans? · · Score: 1
    They figure if your system has random crashes and you're buying one of those (meaning you usually a consumer), you won't give a rats ass...most of those pieces of junk have random crashes, hangs, reboots, BSODs, etc. because of inadequate CPU cooling.
    1. ...and it's has Windows on it
  3. Michigan on Michigan May Outlaw Anonymity Online · · Score: 1

    What is is with Michigan and the Bill of Rights? It seems like every other week there is legislation coming out of that frozen waste that tries to do away with a small part of the Constitution, Bill of Rights etc....I'm glad I live somewhere else....

  7. Re:Jon on When Students Become Informers · · Score: 1

    (Offtopic) The only problem w/that is that teacher is usually a bigger homophobe than the student who was picking on you...I had a couple of lesbian friends in highschool that had this happen to them. They could tell the teachers until they were blue in the face, but nothing would change.

    Your right....and it's getting worse by the day...I'm so glad I am not in school anymore. I'm pretty sure if I was, you would be hearing a story on the news about me....

  9. Wave on When Students Become Informers · · Score: 1

    Every /.er needs to go thru an anon. proxy server and show waveamerica.com what the slashdot affect is. Of course, at the same time filling out 2 or 3 false reports....make them loose time & _money_ and it will come to a screeching halt.

    At what point will the law abiding citizens of this country come to find enforcement of the law reprehensible?

    April 25th, 1992

    But seriously, are there any /.er's that don't get a sinking feeling whenever a cop passes them on the road?

  18. Re:Ahh.. on Sega Announces Dreamcast Successor · · Score: 1

    There are still a lot of places in the county that all you can get is an (expensive) ISDN. I know, I live in one. They don't have DSL available ANYWHERE in the county I live in (no DSLAMs in the C.O.) and the ISDN services cost about $200 a month. Add that to the fact that AT&T won't be rolling out broadband for another 3-5 years and you can see that Sega won't be doing ANY business here I live. I can see a lot of pissed off rednecks buying this thing at the loal WalMart taking it home and trying to figure out how to put a CD/Cartridge in it....it's going to be great...

  19. I don't care.... on Napster Introduces Subscription Charge · · Score: 1

    ...I haven't used Napster in months, why bother being tied down to one pay service when there are so many p2p programs to choose from. Also said p2p programs can let you share more than just Mp3's, i.e. movies, pics, software....and it doesn't stop there.

  20. I'm probably wrong but,... on FCC Seeks Comment on Internet Filtering Rules · · Score: 1

    ...if the government dictates what can and can't be shown at a public library, then that makes the government responsable for the content viewed. i.e. if I did see some p0rn at the library, (due to shoddy filtering) and was offended I could hold the government responsable, and maybe sue them. If this holds true then I can see a great way to GET RID of filtering.

    Jaysyn

    p.s. I bet Slashdot is on some of those filtering lists...
