It's guilty before proven innocent, what's to say that a music major can't put his master's work on his network drive in mp3 format. They don't, however, search for *.wav, but anybody who uses Waves and tries to keep any free space on their drive is just retarted
I'm sitting here wading through a mountain of requests from the media companies while I work at my campus helpdesk. They demand that we "deactivate their accounts" and "block their IP addresses" immediately or face punishment ourselves.

Methinks that this mediaforce place needs to be firebombed. Take a look at their website and you'll see some pretty creepy things that they do, like 24/7 scanning of P2P, IRC, FTP, and other networks for copyrighted works. Worst of all, they reinject corrupt copies of the data back into the networks to much downloads up for the users.
If I worked there I'd just go home and slit my wrists every damn day
notice, however, that it says it includes that information...that can very well just be a part of what they are collecting, and the only part they are telling you about.
I can't say that I'd really tell my 12 year old self anything really...While I was in high school I maintained a nerd status but I also got involved in a lot of things like Band(percussion), Newspaper, and Theatre.
In my newspaper class I was the only one who knew anything about the macs in the calss so everybody started to really like me for the most part because I told them how to do stuff on the Macs.
I would have, if anything, told him that you can wait on girls, and that when you turn 17 you'll find the one that you'll eventually be married to for the rest of your life and love long after that =]
well, it wasn't a huge change at all, just a few mail systems and other stuff that can be migrated quickly and easily. They recognize that their systems is ailing, but when I came in they were looking at dropping a huge chunk of change on a Novell system, which I immediately said no to myself. Since they are evaluating their options, i suggested open source software. They rejected it because they didn't understand it and it's "ideals"
Careful, young grasshopper. These aren't your private machines. If you've presented your ideas and they've been rejected, then do not sneak in those changes anyway. To do so could have serious ramifications for your job. Stick by what you've been told, and do things openly.
as for that, doh, i was just shoting off my mouth...it's too early in the day and I hate using this crap system. =]
I'm encountering this in my new job that I recently took. I walked into a company that was using an antiquated MS Exchange system for most of their communication, old networking hardware(which is another issue entirely), and software packages that hadn't been updated in about 5 years because the company that originally wrote them has gone under in recent years (.bomb)
After looking at everything I suggested a lot of open-source alternatives to all the current software. The prices to buy it all was zilch, and upgrading all the hardware can be done in-house, without the help of "contractors" that charge out the ass just to support their own software. The system would work great, a lot better than the currently antiquated crap we are using.
After presenting my ideas to management they shot it down totally. They, with their mind for the bottom line, couldn't understand how people would release software totally for free. They kept asking me when they would pull the bait and switch on us. It's two whole different schools of thought, and the only way that I can implement it now is to do it slowly behind their backs until they don't even know what hit them when they don't have to reboot the server daily anymore =]
naw, the cricket one wasn't the coolest...I loved the one with the camera in the nose cone that, when the charge to pop out the parachute fired, it took a picture facing down...now that was cool to see myself looking up at it. It will NOT be cool if I can't take my kids out to fire these things off one day in the future without getting a police excort for the fuel packs that I bought at Hobby Lobby.
Winsupersite is, for the most part, a very pro-microsoft website...however, even if their reviews and previews may be slanted a bit they still get very early releases of different products and write decent reviews of them...with lots of screenshots!
the other day I was walking around in Best buy taking a look at the big TVs and I saw a display for some company's fision of the future of home theatre: The little illustration showedd a big TV, DVD player, Receiver, and other boxes all joined together by Firewire cables.
No fancy wiring schemes just to be able to record off the Satellite, or to do other things that require clever wiring, just Firewire between all the devices that can route a purely digital signal wherever it needs to go.
Once all of my components can do that, AND interface with my PC and Mac, then I will see a revolution in TV/Home Theatre. Until then, it's just another way to make the picture sharper and better looking overall, not redefining the whole idea of home theatre
I think that that whole incident with AOL Time Warner losing $98,000,000,000 just last year does a bit more to "degrade their brand integrity", not to mention that at least once a week they are in the news because a board member is fired or leaves the company because the whole entity hit the fan a while back.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, I disagree with what you say, however I can't respond right now because I am about to get off work and go play Mechassault on Xbox live...
hella fun game
I would say that Steel Battallion, the $200 xbox game with its own table sized controller would translate nicely...Could be a better market for it in the arcages than in the living room
in the future please actually read the article before you post =[

Actually, It looks like the songs would be distributed in AAC, not mp3
I say, let them moon uranus!
The damn moon is ours!
dude, today is my damn birthday...It better not have sucked =[
and speeling lessons
we get that here at my college too. Occasionally the NT admins go through all of the student's network drive space looking for *.mp3 or other digital media files. If they even find a match for *.mp3 they throw a fit and deactivate the account.

i'll bet it totally gets confused if WinXP iteslf is pirated in the first place =]
along with Office and just about everything on the computer..oh well...I guess the police outside are for me
companies will do what they have to do to make money, that's just the way things are
in the meantime I'll be using FreeBSD...
indeed.
but I also got laid and had lost of friends that were outside the realm of Quake, so I did pretty well, i think =]
take every chance you get to increase your karma through slashdot topics...esp. those ones where every comment gets a 5 of funny =]
I can't say that I'd really tell my 12 year old self anything really...While I was in high school I maintained a nerd status but I also got involved in a lot of things like Band(percussion), Newspaper, and Theatre.

in other news....duh

It will NOT be cool if I can't take my kids out to fire these things off one day in the future without getting a police excort for the fuel packs that I bought at Hobby Lobby.
Hobby Lobby = Bin Laden Bazaar =[
Winsupersite is, for the most part, a very pro-microsoft website...however, even if their reviews and previews may be slanted a bit they still get very early releases of different products and write decent reviews of them...with lots of screenshots!
segway half pipe would be rather dangerous...imagine when you fall in the air and an 80 pound brick of plastic falls on top of you
ouch!
yes, but I've been told that Andy said it, then corrected and told that Red said it...
After changing it around about 5 times I just put it like it is
