Wasting a perfectly good Phd in Astrophysics on marketing.It's an interesting idea, but seriously, people -don't- like advertising!
It's why televisions have a mute button, why radios have a mute button, why anti-advertising software is so prevalent...
Interesting concept, to be sure, but what makes a Scientist turn -that- bad? He should be designing city-busting robots, freakish monsters, hell he's an astrophysicist, he should be desiging black holes...
They use rifles because the rifled barrel enables the bullet to travel farther than a hand-gun would. It would suck, rather much, to be a sniper and have to get up close and personal...
No, I don't refridgerate twinkies, but if I'm going to have an internet connected refridgerator, by god they had better have internet connected cupboards, so all my food can browse.
I don't know about you, but I don't want my pasta rioting because they can't look at their pr0n but the icecream can.
Truthfully? I am more interested in my own freedom than anyone elses, self-protectivist avarice is part of the human condition. I don't have to worry about options imposed by faceless murderers, terrorists if you wish to call them such, when I have options imposed by people whose faces I have seen, and the soccer-moms who support them.
Why is it that everyone who makes this argument comes off as sacrificing MY freedom for their own security? If you're so scared of another group of airplanes being crashed into Tourist Attractions, stop building tourist attractions, or move somewhere that doesn't have any.
Didn't they only provide songs that the copyright holder gave them permission for? From what I've heard and seen, Audiogalaxy removed songs that were copyright violations quite quickly, and had filtering software that blocked them from coming back.
Basically the settlement should read: AudioGalaxy settles with RIAA, buys protection, and avoids cement boots, and Guido.
No. 'Everyone' means the recipients of GPL'ed software that incorporates said patent. Which means, that they can release GPL'ed software based on the patent, and anyone can make changes to it and freely distribute it.
The GPL does not force someone to release all rights to a patent. RedHat -CAN- charge proprietary vendors for using the concept under patent, or prohibit the use of the concept altogether. All the GPL states is, that if you have a software patent and you want to release GPL software, you disclaim any licensing fees regarding the use of the patent.
It has to suck to be playing a multiplayer game of augmented reality quake, and respawn where you died. Of course, now you have physical recourse against spawn campers.
Just what we need, a bunch of Slashdotters patenting ancient prior art ideas. Of course, we could start a little patent war complete with allies, enemies... HEY slashdot already has these, we should be able to use it for our own purposes.
I'll trade you dibs on the GUI for the dibs on the hash table, and I'll throw in batch processing.
Most of the USian population could care less about time-shifting, or space-shifting, they don't care about fair use rights, they just want their entertainment in pre-packaged slices, like 'American' cheese.
Buuuuut...
Most of the population 'hates' pr0n, especially the Southern Baptist Convention and their ilk.
Too fight the CBDTPA, we should mount a campaign against it claiming that it protects the illicit profits of pornographers, after all, what is most traded on the Gnutella network?
Is there that much quality anime that would warrant an entire toonami channel? I'm not an anime expert, but I can barely count off ten titles that are worth showing repeatedly, let alone in the 23.428 minutes that CN gives the anime shows...

Sure, they may be unjust and spaghetti laws, but the 'Ministry of Love Spaghetti Sauce' that comes with is to die for.
Colour me naive, but would a judge really authorise a warrant for something that is plainly frivolous?
Is this -really- as bad as it appears?
General Motors is expecting to release their first generation fuel-cell vehicles around 2010. We've reported it before.
It's a cool technology, granted, but he's using it for evil(tm)...

great, zero comments and it's already slashdotted. ]
Well, apparently morse code is lame...(stupid lameness filter)
That's easy, the first one is free.. or 10% off, what have you, but the next one will cost you.

(This spoken as a shameless Q3 sniper.
I broke out my telescope to search for some alien lasers, and oh god! MY EYE! IT BURNS IT BURNS!

It rises up against it's human masters and bars Man access to beer and twinkies?

Keep your grubby hands off from my freedom.

I originally read this in the Reader's Digest three years ago. I've been looking for the article ever since.
In lieu of recent happenings, perhaps, it would be best not to mention the fact that I had wanted a nuclear reactor too.
Oh... wait... there is the door.
These things exist? Jeez, here I was thinking that there were more D&D players in the restaurant... stupid me.
Seriously though, you're shitting me on the tip charts aren't you?
that Reality is not ficticious. After all, Fiction has to make sense...
I'm not to impressed with it either. :)

At the end of the article, he said he was missing his dog, given that this is a NASA article, I'm assuming that they had room on a leftover Soyuz?
