I'm legally downloading copyrighted music from my favorite P2P network. Are you?:-)
And doing that kind of thing is pretty damn similar to what the chinese government is trying to do in many cases, and not too far away from their reasons either. Protect the country from... umm... stuff we deem illegal... by... hmm... making development of that stuff illegal!
If this is OK, next big news on Slashdot will probably be that you're forbidden to browse to specific web sites.
I fried my video card and motherboard by putting one of those new 3.0 or so volt AGP cards into a 1.5 volt slot. It fried my video card and motherboard.... and your memory slots too?:-)
"Scientists will be able to compare the compositions of these samples with known compositions of the planets and help in the effort to understand how our solar system and its planets formed."
It wasn't right in your face but last question in their FAQ.:-S
What ever happened to the science of simply exploring and learning about our solar system and how it formed instead of this quest of focusing on trying to find life on other planets
Hmm, so you know nothing interesting is below this ice layer?
Yeah, it should be awfully cold there, but at the same time, if it consists of lots of fluid, wouldn't Jupiter's gravitation cause some massive tidal forces and giving it heat energy from the movement?
Yeah, and I guess problem is most people don't care about space.
Heck, a whole lot of people don't even know what planets we have in our solar system. That has often puzzled me -- why so little time in school is spent on learning at least the basics about space. I'm not talking about large amounts of time spent for it, but there's so much else taught in school that seems about as important or non-important to me.:-P
You lefties have a strange definition of patriotism.
Patriotism: Love of and devotion to one's country.
Now, where does Moore say he doesn't like his country?
I can only see him objecting to his country's government. Maybe he go as far as to make documentaries about it because he cares so much for his country and that it's properly run?
Moore doesn't want a president that's in a school browsing a book when USA is attacked by Al-Qaida. That's what this is all about.
Yes, I think they want to hook up a special player if it becomes the standard routine for DVD screeners. At least I would if I were to review those movies. It's not like no one would pay me for it.
Every 'problem' a given member has with seeing a movie will reduce its chances come Oscar night.
You're assuming that only a select few will be encrypted like this -- I was immediately thinking all of the screeners distributed would. Then no special movie would suffer from any disadvantage.
Is it such a big deal if you have free space in your computer for a secondary player, or if that player is an external USB drive?
I think the new filesystem WinFS in Longhorn is basically just an evolution of NTFS streams to make them more accessible for the users. They've always been there, just not very accessible besides a limited set of text fields in the file properties dialog box in Windows. (i.e. they've always been able to hold custom data and have custom key names)
I don't see with the thread started wanted a definition by Slashdotters in the first place, since it's already pretty well described and AFAIK the word doesn't have several meanings.

But of course she didn't mention that one, since it would be too efficient against Wired News' own ads.
Disabling my Adblock showed ads on their page at least.
It may be slightly inconvenient, but at least the Mozilla extension system isn't a blank check to hackers like IE's ActiveX system.
... plugin to fix that? :-)

Oh fuck i'm old, i remember SATAN when it was big news back in 1995.

Yeah, you have to be, like, born around 1980 to recall these things.
Damn you're old.

Shouldn't they...
be stopping real travesties like war and disease?
They can work with more than one thing at once.
Everyone seem to take aim against spam nowadays, but it doesn't seem like their guns are working.
IMHO shouldn't really be considered newer versions of the 98 code.
:-)
I agree about this
Err...
95, 98, and 2000 are all referrals to years, not version numbers.
Windows 95 = Windows 4.00.950
Windows 98 = Windows 4.10.1998
Windows 2000 = Windows 5.00.2195
Hmm... That must be some kind of record?
Although Microsoft did go from Windows NT 4 to Windows 2000, that wasn't really a version jump (Windows 2000 = Windows NT 5) but a change of branding.
Anyone know even greater version inflations?

I doubt all implementations and all versions of rm are identical. :-P ;-)
But obviously you don't, *nix wiz.
I love to fuck, but I still refuse to stop whining about it!
A quote of the mission purpose, by the way:

What are you talking about??
NASA have the capacity to run more than one mission at once.

Umm, the link seem to be bad -- try this: Allofmp3.com (then click 'English' in the top left corner ;-) )
Allofmp3 suppots on-the-fly encoding to let you have 192 kbps Ogg's or whatever. Even FLAC or raw CD Audio is available, but only for some songs.
:-P
I have no idea how legal the site is where I live, but it's definitely legal in Russia.
