Otherwise, what would stop the RIAA attack drones/bots from just blacklisting the blacklist and ignoring the honeypot.
Uhhh... then this ISP will accomplish it's goals of preventing the RIAA from going after their network, right? This ISP didn't claim to be doing this to help prevent the RIAA from attacking everyone, just their customers.
3 - needs a stero reciever in the room to drive the music.
1 and 2 are also the main advantage of the slimp3. You can stream music to multiple slimp3's in your home, from one computer. This means you maintain one mp3 collection, and you can listen to it on your computer, out in the living room, upstairs in your bedroom, out in the backyard, or wherever else you put a slimp3. And each device can be listening to a different song, OR you can click a button on the slimp3 server, and sync up all devices to the same playlist, to have the same music playing all through your house.
As for #3, it doesn't require a stereo system, merely powered speakers. That's also why it costs $150 less than the rio (it's only $249).
The server is currently written in Perl, which makes it very easy to hack on multiple platforms. I coded in some cool functionality the day before a party so that I could do some custom stuff with the the playlists (allowing people to walk up to my laptop during the party, and request their favorite song to play next).
I love my slimp3! Now they just need a slightly higher-priced WiFi version, so I don't have to buy a separate ethernet-to-wifi device for each slimp3.
I realize you're trying to be over the top here, but this is the point. The planet doesn't need our help to survive. We are not doing permanent harm to the planet -- only, perhaps, to our ability to keep living on the planet. The human terminator virus is not ready, because we ARE the human terminator virus.
You are looking at this from the perspective of a linux user. When someone says 'the OS' you think the kernel. But when Microsoft says 'the OS' they mean the kernel and the thousands of.dll's that work with the kernel. I'd be VERY SURPRISED if the crypto functionality they're talking about is actually in the kernel!
I don't know why you would say that. All the environmentalists I know care a great deal about non-human lifeforms, sometimes even more than humans. Polution and toxins are bad for everything, not just people.
1. No sane person cares about other animals and plants more than people, overall.
2. People that care about the welfare of animals and plants do so in the context of preserving the human race. In the end they understand that if we kill "enough" plants and animals, it will have a negative effect on the human race.
People naturally want to preserve the human race, not plants, animals, or the planet, per se.
Environmentalists don't care about "the planet." They care about humans being able to live on the planet.
As George Carlin would say to someone who wants to protect the planet: The planet is fine... the PEOPLE, are fucked!

New DOOM III Shots

· Score: 3, Informative
Am I alone in thinking this?
Yes. Why? Because these are still shots. They cannot compete with beautiful raytraces, etc. You must judge the graphics quality when watching the game in live motion, because much of the quality of a video game's graphics comes from how light/shadow/reflection is handled, how realistically things move and blend in with the world, etc.
If that's the future, it doesn't look as bad as I thought it did.
That's because you have been subtly brainwashed by the RIAA/MPAA. You need to go listen to Lawrence Lessig's latest speech to remind you about freedom.
OK, so LOTR was a decent movie, but I'm getting really sick of this slogan being put places it really shouldent be. Just my (albiet, off topic) 2 cents.
LOTR is a well-known and loved book. This phrase/modifier "to rule them all" has been used ever since the books became popular. The DVD's just came out, and the phrase is probably stuck in the heads of many geeks.
Personally I feel this is the one geek phrase to rule them all.
Could you change the color scheme on your website so that I don't go blind while trying to read it?

1. There are no health issues in marketing caffeinated sugar water, only health issues from drinking TOO MUCH of such a product.
2. My point was Coke is a nice American tradition. I didn't say it was a good tradition in Indonesia. Apparantly people like Coke more than tea, that's what happens when people are exposed to more choices. As far as I know, you are still able to observe tea-related traditions in Indonesia if you'd like.
Now think about these closeups on IMAX. Gaping orifices of every level of hygeine standing several stories high? I don't know about you, but that sounds more "nauseating" than "erotic."
I think it's probably the ladies that are requesting it...
Too bad that the stuff that actually gets exported the most is "culture": coke, disney and the worst of hollywood.
Actually, I would consider Coke to be a positive part of the American culture. What is negative about Coke? It's been around a looooong time, and people like it. One of the oldest American companies, and still successful.

See, there's these things called compilers, and several people on Slashdot use them... occasionally.

There is an intersting discussion [theregister.co.uk] about this in the register.
Actually, you're wrong. There is an interesting article at the register.
The interesting discussions about those articles always take place over here on slashdot.
Yes, it is neat, but:
1 - needs to be plugged into a network
2 - needs a PC on to stream the music from
3 - needs a stero reciever in the room to drive the music.

No, DivX died because the company was trying to sell you a limited use disc that had less features than DVD's that could be bought/rented/re-sold.

I do this frequently. I'll get a medium two cheeseburger meal with an extra drink, sometimes extra fries for my wife and I to split.
(Not even 30, and I'm becoming a 'bitter old man', ranting about 'the good old days')
It's a good thing, too, because with that diet, you don't really have any time to lose.
What's up with that?
If it's water, this is actually very GOOD for you.
