I have never heard anyone refer to the gamecube as a "Nintendo." I think that phenominon only took place because the NES was Nintendo's first big system.
When the law allows something, there is something called a contract that can be used between two parties to disallow that very same thing, not withstanding protections against indentured servitude and a plethora of other things. Unfortunately for the veracity of your comment, a contract which prevents the artist from making a rerecording is not only not legally forbidden from a contract, it is fairly standard in the recording industry.
I think You-tube handles user created quality by simply saying "let all the quality stuff come from illegal user rips of copyrighted TV programs, etc."
It would be a bit disingenuous for the government to auction off the airwaves for billions upon billions, and they "hey wait guys; we're changing the deal."
"The price of the phone is bundled into the contract. The only question is of when you spend that money, upfront or later." You don't get the choice of later--the contract is for the same monthly amount whether you get a subsidized phone or not.
"It's just that intellectual property rights holders know that if they do not actively protect their intellectual assets, US law will not be on their side."
Sigh. Yet another Slashdotter confusing copyright and patent law with trademark law. Trademark law is the only place where this is the case.
Spend two hundred less than you normally would on your next laptop. Use that money to buy new batteries when you need them. You'll get a laptop that is $200 cheaper in performance, but it will make up for it by being a laptop.
I don't know if this was what he was trying to say or not, but basically, the writers of the Java VM could manually use the vmsplice() routines etc. and then all java applications would automatically benefit. The question is whether it is general enough to be handled appropriately in the kernel (there are many different usage patterns), or whether in the average case it will be a net loss. If so, provide this system call for low to no overhead manual management at the application level (a level at which a java, et al application doesn't actually run).

That's completely redicurous.
What do we call the next decade? "The tens"? "The teens"?

The date of the story was what, the 30th? Cut them some slack.
Mostly good points, and the parent definitely sounded fake. I would like for you to consider something called the "browser cache" however.
Here's an example of something you should keep around: Note to self: stop saying buddies.

It emphasizes NASA's problem: "too managers."
But the real question is whether those people would be carpooling anyway--if so, it does no good.
While you can't keep the copyright and go out and sell the thing, Google will let you release it as open or free software.
Google's numbers? You realize Google is the default firefox search don't you?
They are still locked; you have to get your games signed by an authority to run on the phone.

I'm not gonna complain about the guy's work, but I do have a complaint: Slashdot has officially turned into Digg with this non-story.
Always provide the large image and scale down. Then when the browser artificially scales up, the image looks fine.
You may be thinking of firefox. Opera scales everything (except java applets; who cares).
Around half of O'Reilly's viewers watch because they disagree with him and he makes them angry and thus keeps them entertained.

Lets add another category of people who should be afraid of these tests: businesses. They are right up there with phrenology and astrology.
Just admit it: you got busted.

Why give a Voight-Kampff when they can just see if your eyes reflect like a cat's?
