the fact that the DRM is not a big deal but has the potential to allow for frivolous lawsuits like this.
Who effing cares if the DRM software wasn't specifically called out in the EULA or whatever other legal documents the lawdogs are reviewing. It's just a ploy to get $$$$$ and the person who starts a class action law suit always gets a higher percentage of the award compared to the others.
who cares! until the magazine can read to me while I'm on the toilet, and answer my questions, or rebuttal my comments, I don't care how much technology goes into the cover.
Then again if Playboy gets a digital cover that talks dirty to me then I have the option of recanting my previous statement.
But what if he is telling the truth? Why would he want to make this up? What benefit is he getting? Publicity is certainly not his objective here. Once the Aliens are revealed you'll all look like jack asses.;)
I would love to see a list of the companies that are involved in this practice. I wonder if my company is one of them? Not that I send out unscrupulous emails, but my curiosity has been piqued.
If the Muslims would quit changing the rules this wouldn't be an issue. It wasn't that long ago (relatively speaking) that it was appropriate to post images of their prophet. This is a recent development. They're probably hiding something....
Australian company "The Pinball Factory" has been taking orders for their vaporware pinball machine, a remake of the classic Williams title "Medieval Madness". For $2500 down you have gotten nothing but 2 years of empty promises and missed shipping dates. (3 missed shipping dates so far!) The company has 1000 down payment sand nothing to show for the 2.5 million they have swindled out of consumers. The only images shown are of parts in boxes and these images have been circulating for 2 years.
Oh, and we can add their "Croc Hunter" pin to this as well. Another fine vaporware product from The Pinball Factory.
check out the newsgroup rec.games.pinball for all the gory details of the TPF fiasco.

Seems the MPAA would rather blame outside influences for their problems rather than tackle them themselves. Let's also blame the local grocery store for selling me the alcohol I drank before I (hypothetically) ran over that family of 4 crossing the street.
Shif the blame MPAA, the copyright issues are everyone's fault but yours./sarcasm]
or are they exempt because they don't use any FCC controlled airwaves? I would love to get a cheaper sat. bill and lose a majority of the channels I never watch. It angers me that in order to get SpeedTV I need to get 20 other channels I hate.
Yeah for DirecTV...

try looking up UFO Trace Evidence. There is real physical evidence left behind, not just a few cases either.
Your straw man claim is utter BS as well. i didn't say they were close minded, I said they choose to ignore the facts because it's easier for them. IF anyone has done the research, and I doubt you have despite your claims, you would have a different conclusion.
There are plenty of modern cases on record that have researchers baffled and convinced. (kecksberg, shag harbor (gov't admits it's a UFO), Brazil (trace evidence), Bentwaters AFB (physical trace evidence on the ground, audio recording of the event), Belgium triangle (photographic evidence and a Gov't that admits it's unidentified craft), UFO over Illinois (photographic evidence from one of many police officers that saw the craft)) I could name many many others. These cases have police/military witnesses. trained observers. Detailed reports. You can't just dismiss it unless you choose NOT to believe. You want more interesting cases then you just let me know.
And what about teh video evidence from Israel and even Phoenix? When Isay Phoenix I am not talking about the flares that were dropped, I am talking about the UFO that was video taped in teh sky a few hours BEFORE the red flares were dropped and people freaked out. 2 separate incidents, yet the media only parlayed the flare story into an event. Both are well documented, and yeah, I think those were really flares that were video taped later in the night.

Are the same people who never looked into it aside from an occasional news story or blurb on the network TV news. Reading many of the comments on here it's obvious that it's easier for most people to ignore facts and just stick with what's comfortable to them. Ignorance is bliss.
The problem with the Project Mogul explanation is two fold.
1) there was no reported missing balloon on or near the day of the Roswell "crash". The project kept detailed records of every balloon, and each balloon had contact info listed on it if it was discovered by a citizen.
2) The materials used for Project Mogul were not top secret, only the project itself was. Any layman would have easily identified the parts of the balloon and reflectors. Ranchers in Roswell have seen lots of downed weather balloons. This one would be no different aside from having many more reflectors on it. Saying this was a project mogul balloon is laughable at best.
I bought a duo core e6600, new MB, new everything actually. Now whenever I play MP3's or video it will randomly slow down for a second. My friend has the same issue, but with a different brand of motherboard. He is running an e6400 though. updated drivers do not fix this. using a sound card does not fix this. BIOS updates do not fix this. I do notice that when I get the slow down I see a 10% jump in CPU usage on only one of the CPU Usage History graphs from within Windows Task manager.
I still can't tell if this is an issue with the processor, but I'm betting it is. And if it is does Intel have anything in place for the consumer to fix these issues?
As and IRL fan knows, Moreno is known as "The Super Sub". He usually replaces injured drivers on other teams, then performs well above expectations. It's a mystery that he never has a full time ride these days. Anyway, a 31st starting spot on Sunday means NOTHING. Look for Moreno to be in the top 5 by the 300 mile mark. Hopefully this will expose auto racing to more nerds. At it's heart auto racing IS the nerd's sport.

Easy money in their eyes.
just a cheap attempt at some potentially easy money

So, within 2 weeks someone will have figured out how to stop the chemical reaction that destroys the disc.
That will make for an amusing ending to this technology.

/. labels this article as science, but it talks about God, the most unscientifically proven concept created by man.
When did God create little green men? On The following Monday?
My GF and I have the best time playing old classics from Lucas Arts together.
I'm talking about games like "Day of the Tentacle" and "Sam and Max Hit The Road" and the others like it.
I highly recommend trying these if you can. We spent hours together trying to solve them.
Best of luck.
Seriously. I've been waiting for years.
How appropriate. Lots of /.ers will be giving theirs a workout tonight.

These stones don't want to gather any moss.
cause they stick it to the man and don't care. Doesn't effect my life one bit so let them continue. If TPB disappears another will take its place.
Earnings? who cares. The money from the lawsuit will make the company golden!
