If you take a look at the connections on the back of the cube (linked through here), you can tell that it is all on-board stuff. No room for sticking cards in. I bet they meant AGP bus, not AGP slot. The card still has to have some way to communicate with the board, and that is through AGP bus. Since when has apple made anything upgradeable, anyway?
It sounds like the MPAA will keep close tabs on what appears on this program to prevent copyright infringement. My point is this; if people can't use it to download a free version of "X-Men" before it hits Blockbuster, they won't even bother with it. Bandwidth is precious, and if people have to pay to sit and wait an hour (or so with DSL) to download a movie, they would probably rather hoof it to the video store and just buy it on VHS or DVD. I know I would.
How about "Americans against excessive redirects"? We could have the FBI filter out all websites that aren't satisfied with the "index.html" but have to send you to "home.html".
I think I'm probably not the only one who protests and tries to double-click my way back to the previous page.
So you get sick at the thought of shooting a digital cow, but you have no problem popping off a few rounds into the skull of a digital deathmatch partner? This seems backwards to me. If you're going to get angry about kids shooting cows in video games, you must first have something against them shooting people in video games. Personally, I think neither is wrong as long as it is taken as a video game, not real life.
I respect your views as a Vegan, but you must also respect my views as a carnivore. To me there is not much better than sinking my fork into a juicy steak which I cooked myself on my grill. See, I believe that God gave us dominion over the animals as it says in the Bible. Thats right, I mentioned God and the Bible on a Slashdot message board. But those are my opinions, so moderate me as you will.
By the way, I posted a message on "animal rights" because that is what the original post was about. If it had been about what the headline said, I would have posted about that. luckman
Maybe if I say enough bad things about a company, then they will come storming into my house to attack me!
This way I finally get a chance to poke Gates in the eyes for all those times Word crashed my system in the middle of a term paper! My only hope is that he won't be wearing his glasses...
I agree with Kintanon. The use for this encryption will be online sales endeavours by the record companies, keeping people from circulating MP3's that people have paid to download.
This is far from the end of the MP3-copyright controversy. Who is going to stop you from using an old version of MusicMatch to rip a CD to put on your FTP site? No one, yet.
MP3 encryption will not stop music from circulating, it will just provide an avenue for record companies to make money from MP3 downloads. One must remember that record companies are still businesses, and they will try to make money wherever they can.
Such is Emusic.com. You pay for your MP3's. Encryption will only prevent those from paid for MP3's from being circulated.
What percentage of MP3's available do you think came from Emusic.com?? Uh huh, not very much.
