Don't you realze that no matter how correct you are, most/.'ers will find some F'ed up "logic" to explain how wrong you are. You're flamebaiting, you know.
Here it comes...
Ponder if all the engergy spent trying to explain why stealing something isn't stealing was actually spent working at a real job, how much money could be spent actually buying the thing one was stealing. Boggles the mellon.
All the waiting rooms I'm ever in have these things I understand to be called magazines. They're neat. Full of data; fast direct-access and they never seem to crash. Wave of the future, I tell ya.
May I remind you that thousands of people paid hundreds of dollars each for their iPods, with the expectation that they would be able to play the music that they legally bought and paid for on it?
I didn't buy it expecting to play Real's DRM-schemed files on it; not at all. Nobody did. I play MP3s on mine, as do most other happy iPod owners. Even *you're* not that dumb. (Are you?)
...iPods being an "Apple-approved-music-only" device.
OK, now we know you have to be trolling (or, then again, it's possible you *are* that dumb.) Read the literature. Heck, scroll up. iPods play MP3 files, too. It's not bolted down to only play Apple's protected AACs. You're wrong.
Spammers care little if at all about bounces. Ponder, for a moment, how many bounce messages his server sent when it was off if this is still confusing you.
Agreed. Most CSRs at places like Dell, HP, etc. have been instructed by their legal teams to make sure that the devices are referred to "Portable Computers" and never "Laptops." They are also instructed to correct any customers who misuse the terms. Failure to comply will cost you your job.
CDN from the likes of Savvis (think: Digital Island) or Akamai (Buyer Beware here) all but completely alleviate flash-crowd pain. Ask for a free trial or a trail period with no commitment as see what I mean. In fact, you're an idiot for not at least looking into this.
While I can see how Apple might be pissed about Real "breaking" their protection schemes, I can't help but think that this is actually good for the iPod. I mean, doesn't this expand the potential user market for the iPod? Sure, it cuts into people using the iTMS, but I thought the whole point was that iTMS supported iPod sales; not the other way around. What am I missing here?
Microsoft is not stupid enough to cache everything with Akamai. They also hand Digital Isla..I mean Exod...I mean Cable and Wi...I mean Savvis a lot of traffic. Or so I'm told.

I set my tech-challenged parents up with an old Mac running OSX. They don't have any of these issues and I'm no longer called to fix things.
1. No
2. Your point is ____?

Don't come in here ruining the joke with your logic and insight. We just won't be having it.
This point is so obvious, I'm puzzled as to why it warranted an article, much less a posting on /.
Next week, we find that the penis-growing-rolex may not be real! The horror!

Accomplices ARE criminals. How is calling them such "rediculous"?
Because he wanted to start an argument about racism with somebody, even if none existed. Off-topic flaming is fun. Welcome to slashdot.
Bounce != no SMTP session at all

... I though my 12-year old cousin was "old."
Perspective. Nothing to see here; move along.
Or one of their competitors (which you may like better) like Savvis (fka Digital Island) or Speedera.

This virus worm requires that the MSN Messenger service actually be running. Thus, it won't work.
"Business people" actually conduct "large transactions" via AOL? Seriously?
I agree that Akamai is ridiculous, but I'm curious to hear why YOU think so.
I hope, when I'm 35, I'm 25 again! w00.
You see, Apple is going to go out of business tomorrow and that will make the Interweb shut off. See? It was all so easy.
You mean Apple might sell more iPods? That's terrible news for Apple, because we all know they really make their money selling $0.99 songs.

Yes! Because Slashdot == reality and objectivity!
Silly boy. Everybody in Minneapolis knows that they're just a suburb of Chicago.
A new version of an operating system might be slightly faster previous version. Maybe. Holy shit, this calls for a /. article.
you mean month. Seriously.
