It seems the less sophisticated music becomes, and it seems to increase its desophistication exponentially, the more expensive exponentially ticket prices become.
The upside is more people will go to bars and see new bands for cheap instead of going to see big label riaa pushed artists.
"It may take better technology to cope with the problems better technology creates."
Nah, that logic is all screwed up. We obviously need to engineer and release silicon eating rats to control the ever dispersing technology, and rat eating cats, then cat eating dogs, and finally, open a lot of vietnamese restraunts everywhere technology was over-taking everyday human existance.
I agree that the buried post was mal-informed, and most defintely a troll.. but to answer your question: Wasting time by calling each other idiots will not fix the problems. Good open discussions, scientific research, and experimentation is necessary. Which means even idiotic ideas must be allowed their voice.
uhhh.. YOU try again. He said himself "requires a court order". I said nothing. I quoted him and left it at that. YOU are upset because he contradicted himself. I said nothing. Bye now.
"Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires-a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution."

that other customers, like myself, will opt to move over to ISPs who refuse to act in such an evil manner. Sure, it will make them money putting a pricing system like that in place, but if its at the cost of all your customers, then they will be likely to shift backwards. All it takes is a few ISPs who want to keep their customers happy to kill an idea like this.
it was asked how it could be done.. or thats how I took the question. I can remember plenty of instances when a product out of package looked different than press release photos. I imagine tracking on the inside of the casing with mtorized tracking on the inside ball and a counterweight would easily move the ball into sight. no see-through plastic necessary.
if it has wifi, its cheap and easy enough to add a motor with rubber grip onto the plastic containing ball.. just turn the camera around with a wifi signal. the plastic ball would stay still.
if there's a counterweight on the camera, and the camera is round and inside a plastic see-through ball, it can't be upside down. besides.. the recieving gear could just flip the image.

What the heck are you talking about, 'WE'RE NOT SENSIBLE!!'.. I WISH YOU'D POST YOUR ADDRESS AND I'll SHOW YOU JUST HOW SENSIBLE I CAN BE!!/just kidding
interestingly, you can extract the UID's from all the comments.. find the highest UIDS from that days posting.. and use an algorthm that deduces the dat of articles based on what UIDs would have been available at the time of the commenting.
it would be cheaper if we mined heavier rocks to use as primary weight from the moon. the lighter gravitational pull would help tremendously. you'd just have to launch a craft that transformed its parts into a container.
This is a fairly common theory (especially in the wake of the early findings that the other planets in the Solar System are uninhabitable by humans), but our studies of our own solar system suggest it to be untrue. If life were as adaptable as suggested, then we'd find inflatable beings on Jupiter, Crystaline entities on Venus, creepy crawlers on Mars, and other life forms well suited to their environment.
Yet no such creatures have ever been found. Hope is still held that water creatures may be found on Jupiter's Icy Moons (specifically Europa), but we've pretty much exhausted the remainder of the Solar System.
I'm going to have to argue with that. To be perfectly honest with ourselves, we can't say whether life only exists on a physical plane, or a mixture of magnetic, physical, spritual, gaseous.. we have no idea. It could be that life is abundant in forms we just haven't had the opportunity (capability) to discover yet. When one looks at areas that now seem unihabited, it seems impossible that they ever were. At present, desert covers a large part of Australia, The Great Sandy Desert, The Gibson Desert and the Great Victoria Desert combine to fill more than half of Western Australia. It was covered by large sheets of ice before that, and before that by a shallow ocean, which was most defintely teeming with life. The south pole has produced palm tree fossils. To a temporary observer (as we are to the celestial bodies), the south pole seems dead. it was once covered in life. Things change, things move, and accidents happen. Just because our sister and brother planets look devoid of life now, doesn't mean they are or have been. Or will be for that matter.
It could have a detection mode wherein it reduces the channels used when another system pings those channels. That way rural or unwired areas could take full use of higher bandwidths.. and more crowded areas could have more control. Just like traffic in and out of a city.

Yeah, but robots don't have passion...
I should kill you for saying that, but my programming won't let me.
cause what you want on your PC is bacterium and other growing non-sense.
how about using oil especially made to cool electronics instead?
what about changing out hardware? what about leaks?

something terribly wrong is going on when you feel you have to go around a court and judge system that hands out wiretaps like candy.
how's this for informed?

no deformed animals have been found. at all.
What IS the easiest way to get a swallow to carry a coconut?
But 4,400 is a LOT!
I think.
Isn't it?

You obviously didn't see my closing tag. It was actually a joke.
The closing tag was ignored, as there was no opening tag.
and your name is drew... hmmmmmmmm.. plug perhaps? is THAT why all slashdots stories end up on fark after they're posted? hmmmmmm?
