If you read the actual this press release describes ( http://arxiv.org/abs/1007.2327v2 ), it explains that the "Top Publishers" usually try to promote the URLs of their own websites. This can be done by adding the URL to the filenames in the torrents (such as HarryPotter-slashdot.org.avi ) or in the metadata on the portal. The publisher makes profit from ads or subscriptions to the site they own, not from ads on the indexing sites.
The 100 p2p users basically refers to 100 unique IPs that were responsible for creating and initially seeding the torrents; they aren't necessarily related to the people who actually first provide the content.
They acknowledge that some of the publishers were altruistic people who published legitimate files without trying to promote other sites, but these individuals were less prolific than the ones promoting other sites or distributing fake content.
Google gives the most results for "dogs chase cats"; that must be the correct answer. For something like this to work, the phrases would need to be uncommon in a standard corpus of text. (Yet still be easily understandable for a human)
If you just know assembly, you are not computer literate. You must be able to understand binary machine language to really understand what your computer is doing.
Missing? They included too much of the quote. The important part was:
'We are working with governments to create a back door so that they can always access BitLocker-encrypted data,' Niels Ferguson, a developer and cryptographer at Microsoft, wrote Thursday on a corporate blog.
I bought a laptop which came preinstalled with MCE, so I tried it out. When I began to configure it, I discovered that MCE had no easy fine tuning of frequencies (registry keys must be added manually for each channel). This might not be a problem for most people, but my cable uses the hrc frequencies. While all other tv programs I have tried allow the user to select the appropriate frequency table, MCE did not; it did not detect it either. MCE therefore does not work for me.
Difference usually refers to subtraction, not division. The difference between 1gb and 5mb is 1019mb, while the difference between 30gb and 1 gb is 29gb (29,696mb)

eDonkey Fully Decentralized?

From Slide 10: eDonkey is fully decentralised, there are no "tracker" sites to shut down
eDonkey is not fully decentralized. Users still have to connect to servers; larger servers will provide better results. Users are therefore encouraged to connect to these centralized servers. These large servers can be shut down, but most users would just switch to other servers.
From the linked article: The alleged sex mini-game on the GTA San Andreas game disc, unlocked using the "Hot Coffee" mod, has been the gaming news story of the week So the overstatement was on the part of the submitter; the original article put it within the context of gaming.
The article says that 10East currently has about 1,500 SL-6000Ls in stock, of which 300 and 400 are currently unallocated. It orders about 300 each month, in order to keep reserve stocks on hand. This amount seems a little low, especially if this slashdot post causes many people to buy them. If slashdotters bought all the ones in stock, would it be the first instance of slashdotting a store? Or have there been others in the past?
Did you even look at that site? While the first ram size on the list is 4gb, it also has motherboards supporting up to 16gb. Although it would be more intuitive for them to be listed in some kind of order, that site does have larger motherboards.
All Alone: Once upon a time they sent a rocket to the moon With scientific instruments to test conditions there But just before they closed the door, one scientist expelled a germ That accidentally found its way aboard and stowed away For three years it remained undetected on the moon It was the only living creature there: "I'm all alone I'm all alone Behold the mystery that is me"
Then one day the scientists recovered all their gear Excited by the prospect of unearthly things inside They found, to their astonishment, a living thing within It seemed to bear good tidings from somewhere in outer space: "You're not alone You're not alone Behold the mystery that is me"
Soon they figured out the heinous error they had made And now the earthly germ had something else it seemed to say: "We're all alone We're all alone Behold the mystery Behold the mystery."
I think he was talking about the firefox start page That too, however, is available in multiple languages: try, for example Netherlands or France Or if you want another language, like klingon, you can just set it in the preferences
This is should be nothing to worry about: Even if some of the states listed passed True.com's desired bills, anyone(probably the owner of a rival site) could sue them. If it reached the supreme court, the supreme court would clearly have the power to overturn the law (states can't regulate interstate commerce, etc.).
Shots of American soldiers gunning down and blowing up Iraqi insurgents and terrorists. Why don't we ever see that? I'd watch... You mean something like Farenheit 911?
What will this mean for people who got the voucher with their ATI card? ATI promised to give them Half Life 2 (through Steam), but then HL2 was delayed so they didn't get it (they instead got the old half-life gams). Would it eventually be released through steam?
Though many record stores have limited preview selections, some Barnes and Noble stores have a better method. They use touch screen computers that let a customer search for music and then preview it and read some reviews. These have a very large selection of music. This is definately an improvement.
"Hoobastank"? Has anyone even heard of them? I thought they were just something you made up until I googled it. Though they are not on the Billboard top 10, I have never even heard of most of the bands that actually are. This just proves what TMBG said in this interview: "Ask the average person what songs are in the top 10--nobody knows what's in the top 10."

A dupe of this April Fools post. Did it need to be posted again for people to believe it?
If you just know assembly, you are not computer literate. You must be able to understand binary machine language to really understand what your computer is doing.
This article is from 2003. How can Slashdot claim to be "The Nuts and Volts of News for Nerds" when they post news from several years ago?

The free version of what was formerly Tux Racer is now Planet Penguin Racer.

Sharman Networks produces a program that allows p2p file sharing... Completely unexpected.
All Alone:
Once upon a time they sent a rocket to the moon
With scientific instruments to test conditions there
But just before they closed the door, one scientist expelled a germ
That accidentally found its way aboard and stowed away
For three years it remained undetected on the moon
It was the only living creature there:
"I'm all alone
I'm all alone
Behold the mystery that is me"
Then one day the scientists recovered all their gear
Excited by the prospect of unearthly things inside
They found, to their astonishment, a living thing within
It seemed to bear good tidings from somewhere in outer space:
"You're not alone
You're not alone
Behold the mystery that is me"
Soon they figured out the heinous error they had made
And now the earthly germ had something else it seemed to say:
"We're all alone
We're all alone
Behold the mystery
Behold the mystery."

That too, however, is available in multiple languages:
try, for example
Netherlands
or
France
Or if you want another language, like klingon, you can just set it in the preferences

Why is requesting help such a bad request? I think it is perfectly reasonable.

As a follow up to that; how do you feel about the strategic support that Republicans are giving Nader in an effort to help Bush win?
