I'm getting tired of buying books only to find out that a LOT of the chapters are on CD in pdf Form. What's even more annoying is when the PDF doesn't let you print!
is the culture of CD buying. I have a friend who burns CD's as a hobby, he likes gathering songs together, and making compilation CD's. He used to do this with tapes. I've got a bunch of albums that I bought because I heard the artist on one of the compilation CD's. I like owing CD's, I like seeing the band, reading the lyrics, reading the liner notes etc... It's not as satisfying as buying an album was, but it is better than just having a copy.
RIAA needs to encourage people like my friend to keep on making mix CD's for their friends, it actually creates demand for, and adds value to their product.
Since the prostitute is obviously ready and willing to have sex for money, there is no entrapment. It would be a different matter if some average person was offered money for sex, especially if the officer had to persuade them. That would most likely be considered entrapment.
Okay, how do we decide if the person was "average", or "ready and willing to have sex for money." I think the "average" person would love to get paid to have sex. Hell, I'd be having sex right now if I could get paid for it. So, if some female cop I was attracted to offered me money for sex, I might say WTF!
Hardly, there is minimal coverage in Time magazine about Apple products. When the G4 came out, it was two weeks before Time even mentioned it on the technology page (this was the first personal computer to break the gigaflop barrier). The iPod is getting coverage, because it is cool, just like the new iMac, not because Time and Apple are bedfellows.
But I play one on TV... It seems like the reason this would not be entrapment is that the police aren't doing anything that a normal citizen wouldn't do.
Normal people don't pay for sex, so if a cop offers a prostitute money for sex, that's entrapment.
Normal people do leave their car's in places where the car can be stolen, the fact that the police can track this particular car just improves the chances of the police catching the criminal.
Put another way, if you had a phat car and left the doors unlocked, keys in, engine running with a wad of benji's hanging out of the glove compartment, and I stole your car, I would not have an entrapment defense.
I remember seeing something similar on Donahue about 10-12 years ago. The guy had a recumbinant[sp?] bike with a ton of computer equipment on it, and he rode around the country, if someone tried to move the bike when it was locked down, it would call 911 and give its location.
I think the bike was called Behemoth, I think that was an acronym, but I don't remember what it stood for.
Actually, he blames tech in general, that some tech companies are making money by selling devices that enable piracy of OPIP (other people's Intellectual Property).
Disney likes to have things both ways, go to a store and pick up a Disney branded toy, if the toy plays music, it will play either Disney-owned tunes, or public-domain music. Disney doesn't want their stuff going into public domain because they would have to actually create something new!
Of course, Disney creates new stuff all of the time, often drawing from public domain sources(Grimm's Fairy Tales, Hans Christian Andersen, Arabian Nights). So when Eisner say he wants to hold the rights to Mickey, Donald, Goofy in perpituity, it is with the knowledge that public domain works have fuelled his company's growth for the last decade(Beauty and the Beast, Little Mermaid, Alladin).
Actually. CompUSA (in Dallas) is pretty good

Apple has a program where they put Apple employees in the Apple "store within a store" at CompUSA stores. Clearly the author of the story went to a generic CompUSA employee, and not the Apple employee. The stores in Dallas keep their Apple stuff up-to-date as a result. I'm not sure what the scope of this program is, but where it's in place, it rocks!
You are arguing for the preservation of "bad" genes in the name of natural selection? You seem to be at cross-purposes. Natural Selection is all about removing "bad" genes from the gene pool. This gene is sneaky in that it does not adversely affect the individual until after prime reproductive years. Your upset that we've outsmarted the sneaky gene, and are removing it from the pool(at least one instance of it anyway.) I think the poster correctly identifies this as a good outcome, that portents an ominous future. Adopting and raising other people's children is nice, but from a biological standpoint, it's not "what it's all about" We're wired to spread our genes, and promote their development, altruism can override this(and that is certainly admirable), but ultimately we live to preserve our genes, not a stranger's.
The subtitle of slashdot is "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." This story fails on both counts. It was announced weeks ago that Apple would win a Grammy, so this is not news. And I think it's obvious that it doesn't matter(as the headline says, it's just a Grammy, not an Oscar!).

To be fair, you said that the DMCA removed consumers rights.
I know, it's really annoying when a news site posts stories about new products...d'oh!
Your "different generation" argument would hold more weight if your sig didn't quote a Pink Floyd lyric
and when the vote was happening, she was inundated with mail from both sides reminding her to vote.
Imagine if politicians were so interested in voter participation!
This monitor can be used in Portrait or Landscape Mode, so if you need that feature, the higher price might be justified.
I think that foghorn666 submitting this story is further evidence of Satan's profound influence over the Macintosh community.
Since you obviously aren't participating in the blackout...

Asking the guy who makes the browser, and works for a competitor of Apple's...Surprising he put the blame on Apple...Shocking!
I run OS X, and I don't have any issues with browsing the internet.

Granted the date on the cover is April 22, but this issue has been available for at least four days (maybe longer in NY).
I think Hawkings is a quadreplegic

Cobra's Supreme commander is a clone of Hitler, Napoleon, Caesar, and some other leaders all rolled up in to one!
