It's 12 in Australia. There's no such thing as a majority vote either. You either have a full consensus or in extreme circumstances a 10 to 2 majority will be accepted. Being convicted by a slim majority such as 8/7 which I assume would be possible with 15 jurors as you've suggested would be a travesty of justice. If there's enough doubt in the jury for half the people to have a differing opinion it's time for a retrial...
Considering that there's NO SUCK FUCKING THING AS A METER, nobody will care. Go and cry a liter of tears......FUCKIN LITER what is up with you americans?
You moderators haven't got a clue about what's flamebait and what isn't. I guess I must be a fuckin genius to have guessed the moderation that would be applied to the above post.
FYI, they aggressive tone of this post signifies more of a slant toward flame baiting...
You might mark it flamebait, but I agree. When I setup a computer I want one that can be sat in front of and just used. The newest and greatest provides this functionality, with each kernel release slowly improving on the last. Kernel 2.0 has no meaning for myself anymore and I'd hazard a guess and say most people who use a linux kernel don't use 2.0 if they have a choice.
Since I've probably spoken out against the slashdot hivemind, I'm assuming most of you won't even read this...
And the reason nobody has been to court over this is because if it were ever challenged, it would set a precedent in favour of "state swapping". I know for a fact that it's common practice for people who run jukebox companies to have a warehouse full of original cds and use only burned copies in their jukeboxes. Surely this would go against that law...
I'll be very surprised if many consumers will put up with the extremely limited usability of DRM files. To me, it's as simple as this, if you've paid for it, you should get fair use of it. That means burning 20 copies if you like, just so you can have 20. Not being limited to just 3 copies because that's what they say you can have. What DRM is doing is assuming everyone is a hardcore criminal. Imagine if all shops adopted a behaviour like that and clothing stores insisted on stripsearching everyone who both entered and exited the store. Of course they'd also have to sell you a licence with any article of clothing that you bought stating that you were only allowed to wear it a certain amount of times and only if you also had on the correct matching apparel. You wouldn't be allowed to share clotes with your friends until they had also paid the full purchase price... and I could go on and on and on...

I don't even think you need to go as far as kazaa, from what I can tell a web browser would satisfy "a service that enables users to access content, information, electronic mail, or other services offered over the Internet".
My brother has to smoke at least 40 or 50 bongs a day. If he doesn't, he's dangerous to be around. Call it psychological addiction if you like, but the fucker is still addicted. If you're right about the psychosis affecting 3 in a million, I've probably met most of the psychosis suffering dope smokers in the world. Statistics are a good way for intellectuals to make money.
mate, those 3c509 cards are true trojans, we had them at my last work from 486 days and I believe they're still in the new p4 computers that are running at the moment...
this applies to anything that's "politically correct" I've been saying for years that the whole idea that someone can be racist is in itself racist. It makes sense doesn't it? The only reason calling someone black would be bad is if being black somehow made you inferior.
Same with this, if you've got a short attention span, you've got a short attention span. Being treated as though this is a "disease" simply labels the person who isn't "normal" as a freak. I blame America for most, if not all of this reactionist political correctness.

Evolution isn't exactly a stellar email client. How long has it taken to get a function to add return receipts? That's just lazy...

Flamebait my arse. The original post spouting crap about mebibytes is the flamebait.
apt-proxy would be my choice instead of a full mirror
What you should be asking, is:-
"Could there be a more pointless article posted on the Slashdot front page?"
I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
You moderators haven't got a clue about what's flamebait and what isn't.

I see you've never met anyone addicted to marijuana. It's not a pretty sight. The psychosis isn't a good trait either...
it's a pity that a lot of the stupid sites require your email address as a login
I just wish I'd bought SCO stock when this all started.
300meg of music isn't much...

Yet the fact that it's so over the top doesn't make it funny to you? I certainly had a chuckle or two as I read it.
Stereotypes are funny.
What's even funnier is that nobody recognises it as a troll, you're all too far left wing to know when someone is taking the piss.
I know the USA rules the world and all, but some of us stick to writing and speaking English and not American...
Whoever labelled the previous post as flamebait really should check that site. It sucks some serious hairy goat balls...
