It's a fucking wifi-enabled rabbit that dances when you get an email. How much more pointless does it have to be before it's more than 'kind of pointless' ?:)
this might be an application level 'sploit, which _may_ allow access to unsafe (777?) directories on non Win boxes, but really, this is an OS level bug which an app-level insecurity may be able to exploit

No, it's not over my head, I think the hysteria's a little unwarranted.
'The whole point here is that, at some point, it will no longer be legal to sell devices without DRM technology built in to them'
maybe, maybe not. If you're that worried about it, stock up on old tech now
'And then it will be illegal to own any old devices that don't have DRM built into them'
bullshit. future formats might demand different devices, but existing media will play just fine - as long as you have the hardware to play them on - so buy more old hardware now.
You must only sell drinks in approved measures. These are:
* for draught beer, lager and cider, pints, half pints and the rarely used third of a pint
* for gin, rum, whisky and vodka, multiples of 25ml or 35ml, except when they're served as part of a cocktail
* glasses of wine in multiples of 125ml or 175ml
* carafes of wine in multiples of 250ml
no, but i was interested in how *people* used Oz/Pints etc - and man bc doesn't help with cultural interpretations. Well done, thoigh - you told me about google and the Web.

uh-huh.
oh wait, you were talking about RSI, not the obvious problems that will arise if you spend 18hrs/day typing since your early 20s, instead of, i dunno, life, girls/boys, going abroad, out of the basement, etc
That, my friend, is because you don't live in a city
If I got peeved or called the cops when 'some random person was hanging out in front of my house for hours for no apparent reason' I'd go nuts, and the cops would think I was nuts

Slashdot Mirror
Ach. You missed out the phrase in the FA that says 'the first US music download service' to mobiles
You can do this in the UK - at carrier, handset and 3rd party level,
http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/Oct2005/2095.htm (and loads more)
>it has become a $300 million-a-year business
Go higher, and try between $1 and $3.3 Billion - worldwide.
You're gonna slashdot the FBI?
/. DUDE: 'you guys rock.. Alan Ralsky...etc'
FBIDUDE: buzz...activity...stuff
PHONE : ring
FBIDUDE: 'Hello, FBI?'
repeat.
> Now that I think about it, I'm probably the only one that cares...
nope. everyone else gets their pics, music, vids on and off the handset with bluetooth, IR, or a USB cable.
Switch carriers or handsets until you can do that.

wait. you're on /. and you can't get realplay to work?
jesus
Maybe they wanted to launch it in countries which
a) have more take up of mobiles than the US
and
b) don't speak English, so don't need a snazzy Apple name to remind them it's a phone.

Maybe, maybe not. Remember the world's bigger than the US, and different laws may apply in other countries.
or quote it properly and spell litre correctly

Not here, chum. Spirits are measured in cl, beer in pints

hey. a sensible response.
Not having you on, and your answers help

Thanks, that's the bit. It sounds medieval thoug, just like US recipies do. Can one buy a reference 'cup'? What's a quart?

Nope. a pint is ~568ml
> If you're not making some kind of clever joke
I'm not.
> it's a fascinating juxtaposition.
indeed. especially since Britain invented what we call Imperial Measures ( and I think you call 'British Measures')
we sort-of-switched to Metric (hurrah!) but I still know my height in feet and inches, and solids (flour, etc) in Oz, but liquids in L/cl/ml.
From the site - 'drunk: 3.9 ounces'
Um, is that a small beer? A huge whiskey?
In Britain we use pints or litres. I've never heard of an ounce of alcohol. Ounces are usually reserved for illegal drugs.
Can someone help?

Yeah, we all know why the Internet isn't just port 80.
But the poster's post explained how the Internet and Web are different in a way that people who don't know will understand.
this is hard.
He did it well.
