My stance on this whole "free music" thing has always been in support of the people (aka: thieving bastards).
Her letter reaches an unprecedented low when she starts quoting Jerry Maguire with "Help me, help you."
Hmm... I wonder if the MPAA would be interested in partnering with me to fight against copying and exploitation of movie quotes:)

After thinking more about the hijacking with knives... I've come to this conclusion.
The hijackers herd the passengers into the back of the plane in which they're kept uninformed (or even mislead of their intentions). The hijackers continue with their agenda and get the pilots out of the cockpit, after which the hijackers (who may have been trained pilots) take control of the plane.
Keep in mind, the people in the back are still uninformed... so they sit, wait, and expect the hijackers to negiotiate with authorities. Since the plane is still in the air and not doing a nose dive, the people sit and wait.
Since they're in the back, they can't see that they're heading toward a building- therefor never get the chance to realize they never had any hope for negiotations to save their lives...
Please feel free to contribute or read over what's currently up. I plan to possibly build a section off of the material gathered- so statements and additions are appreciated.
Technically, it's not he word "diablo" but yet it gets the point across. I think I've seen other movies with diamonds in between the letters and if done graphically right- it looks good.
As long as they file it as: D i a b l o would they be okay?
The sad thing is that their sole purpose for setting up their labs in the desert is that by chance some reporter would use that headline.
You think their excitement is in regards to the Mirror cells breakthrough? Wrong, they're just happy some f'ing journalist finally wrote "COOL PEOPLE IN THE HOT DESERT."
Does anyone know if Hughes tracked down the actual thiefs/hackers/subscribers and pressed charges? Or did they just leave it at destroying their cards? If they never tried to press charges, I find it even more interesting.
It's kind of like catching someone stealing something from your store, but since you caught them- you decide to let them go. That's very unusual for a big corporation.
"The right actor for Ender is probably about 6 years old right now, so it won't be anyone we know -- not Jake Lloyd, not Haley Joel Osmond (Sixth Sense)..."
Thank god. I don't think I would have made it through 2001 if I had to hear, "I see dead ewoks."
"I don't hate Microsoft," said U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson, "I just feel the world should be exposed to other quality operating systems like Fisher Price's Speak-N-Spell and AOL's upcoming You've Got An Operating Syst-- ehh, I'm sorry. Disregard that last statement, it's classified and I wasn't supposed to say anything. Dammit, get Case on the phone."
I think the $50,000 is more to weed out who's really serious about making a business commitment and to see who's just messing around.
If there wasn't a cost involved, they would receive all kinds of crap from people (Religious Groups:.satanisbad | Masochistics:.sayplease | AOL/TW:.werenotreallyamonopolyhonest etc...)

"It says here that they want to sue us for $10,000,000,000 dollars. I know it's probably not best to take this case to accept for ethical reasons (suing oneself) but look at the commission we'll get if we beat ourselves!"

1/11/2000 13:05 Half-Empty just got slashdotted. For those of you that don't know, half-empty is served from our cage at our ISP. There may be some network latency, we really aren't sure at this point.
Stop linking to the thing and maybe the traffic wouldn't be as high. That's like telling drivers that the bridge is out and directing them in that path so they can see for themselves...
A comment gets scored as a (5 Interesting) and yet NOBODY replies to the thread that the (5 Interesting) comment begins. If it were really interesting, don't you think that it would generate SOME sort of response?
Unless everyone who read it was just in awe of the post that they're wiping the drool from their mouth instead of replying to it;)
"Just another case where the admin of an obsure site on the Internet tries to get his website known by posting a story to slashdot (free advertising). That really bugs me..."
Their submission was relative, technically related, and most definitely "News for Nerds." That's what/. is all about, besides, these stories need some sort of site to provide more information with and who better to benefit from the/. onslaught than projects like Glasscode.
It's not as if/. posted a story from Betty Crocker because of a new cookie (cookie = edible food | cookie = internet term) product they're putting out.

Just when I had managed to overcome the nightmares, you mention the Wumpus and ruin my life!

I'm serious, and stop calling me Shirley.
Isn't there some country like "Sexslyvania" that these porn operators can license from- so they can get their .sex extension?

Do you prefer to be called Bob or Robert?
(never underestimate the importance of someone's name preference)
It's nice to know we can count on honest reporting- from *one* of our news providers. Eenie meenie miney moe...

Not to mention Tier 5 (Microsoft Headquarters, Half.com, Oregon and Hell).
