It's interesting that/. readers get all offended when Congressmen make condescending remarks to them or about their culture, when/. readers take shots an N'sync, Avril Lavigne, and whoever else all the time. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it sucks.
Actually, hell yes it does. Let me put it to you this way: unsynch != culture. Culture takes artistic merit. It is not manufactured. You have been brain washed. YHL. HAND.
One of the few important ones, at least for Windows users, is the windowsupdate site. They do provide an alternative for other browsers, but that means manual downloads, no automated check as to what patches you already have installed. The bank that I use also appear not to allow Phoenix in.:(
The problem isn't with YOUR box sending packets out, it is with the fragments coming back in reply from some far-off server. THOSE are sequenced as well.
Correct me if I'm smoking hay, but the only thing they could see from this is that you're connected to multiple servers at once. Tabbed browsing?
I hate to prove you wrong, but the discs in this particular album bear the Compact Disc logo. I contacted my consumer rights person, but they never got back to me, and where I live now, there is no such person.
Now on the other hand, we should vote with our wallets and not buy copy protected music CD's that SUCK! especially in cheap ass car CD players...:-(
True, but unless something like this passes, we won't have a chance to know which discs are crippled. Personally I am already voting with my wallet. Since I got the first crippled album that wouldn't play in my computer's CD burner at the time (the only CD player I had) back in 2000, I haven't bought a single CD, since there is no way to know which ones are broken.
It's the result of the new 'in' drug - E2. Write your congressman now and have this banned. Still doubtful? What about the children? Won't sombody please think about the children?!
IIRC, they didn't lose, they settled out of court knowing they would have lost. Now, I don't know what the case is normally around the world, but how the hell can you set up a legal system so messed up that it allows companies to settle their way out of an antitrust case?! WTF? If you price fix, if you form cartels, if you are using your dominant position in the market to monopolize the market, you go down, you pay damages, you get a big, legal no-no shoved in your face. You don't pay a little money and walk away any more than you settle out of a murder case or a bank robbery.
No, I haven't, but yes of course, if we are going to be serious (as difficult as it is), I know there are good examples of news for kids. Here in Sweden there has been at least one good example of that. It's actually more worthwhile than the news for the grownups. I'm not sure it would meet U.S. standards with respect to 'protecting the children' though.
Good evening kids. Nothing bad happened at all in the world today. The World Trade Center is intact. Bin Laden is really just a bearded old man. He is not mean. Nobody wants to hurt anybody. The President is good friends with the other nice guy in Iraq. Goodnight, kids.
I think you're missing the point. Corporations can still set up sites marketing mind-numbing toys in 100% genuine plastic that will occupy your kids and condition them into good corporate slaves. They can then have these sites linked to from ads on other.kids.us sites. I believe the original poster wanted to stop this kind of corporate propaganda. I think the reference to Sweden was the fact that it is for example illegal for TV here to show ads directed at kids under the age of 12.
However, realizing what a large and profitable market kids are, I wouldn't be too surprised if this gains great interest among companies who want to profit from this (personally I think brainwashing ads from the toy and entertainment industries is far more damaging to a kid than nude people could ever be, but thats beside the point).
If this is indeed the case, how long before this domain is as impossible to oversee or manage as the rest of the Internet is today? I see scalability issues. You can always enforce the requirement of no outside links by supplementing the system with software, but moderating the contents? Good luck.

Standards are good though. Doesn't that mean we should have a lot of them?

Uhm... can we get the Clue Crew out here please? I think someone is missing the point by a hair. ;)

I don't see a numerical keyboard. I wouldn't buy it.

Exactly. I hate it when I can't find a good cybersex channel.

Yes, it will be broken quickly. The CPL has a huge collegtion of software for patrons to "borrow". I don't think they honestly care too much.
Guns don't kill people! Video games kill people!
And where should we place you, since you can't separate serious confession from a joke?
For some reason, even imagining a Beowulf cluster of these doesn't do the slightest thing for me...
I don't know, can you? You tell me.
You give school iBook!
Especially since the TEMPO survey didn't have a Cowboy Neal option, those insensitive clods!
Well, I think it is far less severe in comments than in the actual posting... "an vampire"? Come on Slashdot! Wake up, it's only 4 a.m.
