There's going to be a mad rush of people trying to get their TIVO's before this copy protection scheme is adopted
This move seems to be a very good one for the RIAA. What this would enable them to do is finally put an end to all to music piracy. Not only would this curtail the illegal mp3 activity, it would help stop the illegal DVD and movie trading.
I'm suprised that they haven't implemented this before. Good move by the RIAA
-It is not neccesary to follow the link in question. Just skim it, and post something amusing enough related to it, while bashing Microsoft.
Yeah, the article could have said something useful but it is really flaimbait.
-If it has screenshots, mirror them. Doesn't matter if they are downloading fine, someone somewhere will have a problem downloading them and your mirror will be better, and wham, instant Score 5.
Get the pics here. I mirrored them because the site was slashdotted in the first minute.
-Take a strong stand, say whatever it is sucks really really bad because , or say this is the best thing since sliced bread, you are so exited this came to be, you are practically pissing in your pants due to the joy it has caused you.
This guy knows what he's taking about. Definately the smartest and best post since sliced bread.
-Flame John Katz, if he didnt post it, flame him anyways.
John Katz is the biggest dumbass. He's so stupid he couldn't even post how to get a five on Slashdot!
-If you do follow the link and read any part of it, cut and paste the entire article, and put it in italics, then make fun of every paragraph. Insert a few "Microsoft Sucks" references here and there.
If you don't get the joke, then just stop reading.
-Say something else is much better and you dont know what all the fuss is about regarding . Mention it's bloated and whine about wanting everything to be text. Post a link, that will might get you an "Informative or insightful".
Ah screw it, anything would be better than this. Especially if it had been in ALL TEXT instead of this "H-T-M-L" phenomenon!
-Post a link of the same story that is another website, this should at least get you a "Informative or Insightful".
It has everything to do with money and fame. That is one of the main reasons things get studied. Do you really think that different universities would try to sequence the human genome if they didn't get money (in the form of grants) and fame for being the first to sequence it? It is the same with the studying of the document. The whole point for studying it is to get fame and to get grants.
It's really quite pathetic. We already know about his principles.
The entire thing is just a ploy by the different schools to get money so they can buy more expensive toys. They said it themselves: "The RIT team is working on five pages of the text as part of a competition that will decide who will study the more than 170-page document. "
I have no problem with people trying to preserve the past out of curiosity but doing it just for money or fame is, IMHO, stupid.

Dilbert to Unix Hacker: "You must be one of those condescending Unix users."
Actually, the only difference between the "stripped-down" version and the regular version is a small variable set in the 3dmaxcon.cfg.
fullVERSdefine=xwhen "x" is 0, it is the stripped down version, and when it is 1, it is the full version.
Get the full report here.
