Maybe it's different in the US, but here in the UK most of my LJ friends are intelligent and interesting people, mostly in their 20's and 30's. There's a much greater level of maturity there than on, say, slashdot.
The christmas presents that I ordered from Amazon still haven't turned up. A dvd ordered from cdwow on the same day arrived a couple of days before christmas.
Did you even bother to RTFA? The article is about a High-Definition version of the film. Please explain to us dumb slashdotters how you propose to copy high-definition video using analog, with no loss of quality. The guy bought the dvd for the high-def version so any quality loss is unacceptable in this case.
Every time I hear about a big government IT fuck-up it seems to be caused by EDS. Yet the government keep awarding them contracts. Why?

TV Piracy is Next

You're right. This is nothing new. I don't watch TV, so only got into Buffy when a friend asked me to download some episodes for him, as I had adsl. This was a few of years ago when broadband was quite rare. I ended up watching them with him and was hooked. Since then, I've bought six boxed sets of Buffy and Angel DVDs and am planning on buying more. Another case of piracy leading to sales that they wouldn't otherwise have had.
Altantis seems to be very mobile. It's been spotted in Cyprus now. Last time it was Ireland, before that it was in Spain and then Gibraltar Prior to that it was in the mid atlantic where it moved to from Greece. Of course, it's original location was off the coast of Cornwall.
Polar Express has also been created as a 3D IMAX Movie. Now I expect that will be worth seeing. I just wish that Pixar had done that with the Incredibles.
The nice thing about SoundStorm, and the reason I bought an nforce motherboard, was the Dolby Digital ENCODER. No-one else has that, not even Creative.
And the whole motherboard, including SoundStorm, was similarly priced to a Creative Soundblaster.
I'm totally pissed at Nvidia for omitting SoundStorm on the NForce 4.
The first one wasn't posted to the Slashdot front page. Since I, for one, don't usually read games.slashdot.org, I this was the first that I saw about it.
According to Linux-Gamers.net, Timothee Besset of ID software said about the linux port, "I'm getting surprisingly good performance compared to the Windows version".
This is great timing too. ID release the Linux client only 2 days after my girlfriend gave me Doom 3 for my birthday!
So today is not Linux's 13th birthday. It's actually the 13th anniversary of Linus announcing that he was pregnant. The date of the first public release of the code should be the actual birthday.
As someone mentioned earlier, Linux 0.01 was released on Sept. 17, 1991
To give another example: Brooklands is as historically important to British aviation as Kittyhawk is to American aviation.
Brooklands is located close to Weybrigdge, Surrey, just to the south-west of London. However, both Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator and CFS 3 have Brooklands as being on the south coast near Eastbourne.
This has nothing to do with incorrect maps or map reading and is entirely down to a complete lack of research by Microsoft. Imagine if a British company produced a flight simulator and located Kittyhawk in California!

All that sci-fi and the fuckwit doesn't have Bladerunner in his top 50. It's obvious that this list was compiled by a moron.

Ignore that. My mistake. It lists croce as registrant, and Linus as last listed owner.
The USPTO lists Croce as trademark owner. The USPTO should have updated their records to reflect the correct ownership.
THEN DON'T GO SEE IT!
I'm not going to.
Don't rent it, either.
I'm not planning to rent it.
Wait until it's can be seen someplace where your viewing of it does no contribute any extra to it's coffers
I'm not going to waste my time doing this either.
IBM is believed to have been particularly free with the seal, leaking confidential information from SCO that "Jews did World Trade Center."
Parent ac poster is trolling and should not be modded up as 'informative' (as it is at the moment).
Is Minas Thirit where Sauroman lives?

taking this as legal advice without asking a real lawyer is like drinking poision to see what it tastes like
Yes folks, always get a real lawyer to drink poision for you.

It's officially won, if that will stop you sweating:
SPACESHIPONE WINS THE $10 M ANSARI X PRIZE

When are we getting the real Palm OS 6, with such badly needed features as multiprocessin
Please explain why you think you need a multiprocessor PDA.
Gentoo users will require mplayer to be compiled with the new (and undocumented) network flag in their USE flags, otherwise streaming will not work.
Isn't that the standard issue hairstyle (and I use the world 'style' very loosely) for geeks the world over?
The store will also be in beta mode, lacking some of the features that will be added later, sources said.
Like security?

/. straight after :) 100% geek!
They're not cold at all. I've just spent the last couple of hours in bed with a witch and her nipples were lovely, soft, pink and warm.
Not a troll or flamebait. Actual fact
Must go as she wants me to help with dinner
Yes and I did go check
