Hey slashtwats...when the 'study' is found at MIT or Berkely, or Waterloo or that would be unbiased (or has some semblance of credibility for that matter)...wake me up, m'kay?
"A recent IRC conversation with *insert_generic_nic_here*, a member of the Link_goes_here development team, revealed information about the status of the *instert_name* project. 'It was a bit tough to get the ball rolling, but with *insert_function* fully functional and everything starting to fall in order, I wouldn't be surprised to see an alpha release within the next month.' While little information is being revealed about the release of this anticipated *insert_something*, it looks like we can be expecting it sometime in the short future."
I'm willing to bet that a lot less people are involved in the manufacturing of CPUs. Here, there is a greater chance for mistakes - more hands are involved. Can you imagine installin DIMM sockets for 8 hours per day?? You thought cleaning spyware was bad...
How about my damned cable company (or phone company) that charges me an extra $10 a month because I just want a highspeed internet connection but don't want their cable offerings or long distance plan?
Buy a tv card, and split the cable. Cable TV for 10 bucks a month. You can even splice the cable and send it to your TV with no degredation in service.
I have a Pentax Optio S4i camera - not an incredible camera by any stretch, but it fits in one of these tins. Talk about a durable, cheap camera case. They're a little big for an MP3 player though...
Under Canadian law, the CRIA has already lost the downloading case. No clue how the appeal is going - anyone have links?
Here's what the judge said in the last ruling - levy or not:
"No evidence was presented that the alleged infringers either distributed or authorized the reproduction of sound recordings," von Finckenstein wrote in his 28-page ruling. "They merely placed personal copies into their shared directories which were accessible by other computer users via a P2P service."
He compared the action to a photocopy machine in a library. "I cannot see a real difference between a library that places a photocopy machine in a room full of copyrighted material and a computer user that places a personal copy on a shared directory linked to a P2P service," he said.
A big collective 'Fuck You - stay out of our homes' to the music industry, IMHO. BTW, I still buy albums. Good albums (to me) - The Hip, Sam Roberts, Pink Floyd, Zep, Black Sabbath... One hit wonders get the gtk-gnutella treatment.

Isn't this how most Americans actually vacation in Cuba? They travel to Canada first...
I'm lazy - just run it through the dishwasher. Be sure to let it dry for a few days...or if you can't wait, take the electronics out, then wash it.
No need.
Where's the goddamn foot icon!!

Right. Like I said *I* don't know morse code. How many people do?
I don't know morse code. Do you?

I for one can't wait!

Apparently, the last scene in this episode is a shot of 'The Fonze' donning water skiis.
C'mon. Editors don't read Slashdot.
I'm using slackware-current right now, and if Slack *did* go down the tubes for any reason? I'd probably switch to - are you ready for this - FreeBSD.
Funny comment aside, maybe you're the one that changed.
'Guh-noo-nome' it is. Beat that KDE.

Who are you? Lex Luthor?
I do - if it runs on Linux. And I email them to tell them why I bought the game. I can't say the same for Windows only games...

Why does this irk me so? Not that I'd actually spend 6500 bucks on this *anyway*...
Yeah, in *2001*. The ban was lifted 6 months later. Your first link was from 2002.
What was that about FUD?
Perhaps you should reverse the polarity of your humor detectors...
