I still have one of the original Sony Walkmans - with the big orange button thing on the side - and it still works. This is more than can be said for my Sony minidisk walkman, which I had to keep together using duct tape after just 6 months. Built in redundancy? Seems feasible to me...
The RIAA on Tuesday also said it reached a $3.2 million settlement from CD manufacturing company DOCdata USA to resolve claims the company had pressed dozens of infringing CDs, including albums by Santana, Toni Braxton and Destiny's Child.
Last week, the RIAA sued Technicolor Inc., one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of music and video programming, for allegedly producing pirated CDs of major artists.
Dr Evil in Austin Powers should have just set up shop with RIAA. It would have saved him a lot less bother...
WE will lose people! Ho ho ho. I love it when I watch army commanders and politicians telling us that there will be loss of life and casualties and we'll have to accept it. It's fucking easy to say things like this when it's not your life on the line isn't it?! Try telling this shit to the families and friends of soldiers and, god forbid, conscripts.
This is the same model as Everything right? And hasn't that got over a million nodes now? And to be frank, although there's a lot of garbage on it, there's a lot of really cool stuff on it, both informative and amusing.
"Usage Note: The words ironic, irony, and ironically are sometimes used of events and circumstances that might better be described as simply "coincidental" or "improbable," in that they suggest no particular lessons about human vanity or folly. Thus 78 percent of the Usage Panel rejects the use of ironically in the sentence In 1969 Susie moved from Ithaca to California where she met her husband-to-be, who, ironically, also came from upstate New York. Some Panelists noted that this particular usage might be acceptable if Susie had in fact moved to California in order to find a husband, in which case the story could be taken as exemplifying the folly of supposing that we can know what fate has in store for us. By contrast, 73 percent accepted the sentence Ironically, even as the government was fulminating against American policy, American jeans and videocassettes were the hottest items in the stalls of the market, where the incongruity can be seen as an example of human inconsistency."
This is good news. Anything your teachers are telling you is "bad" and "illegal" has got to be cool...I see an increase in "copyright theft" by the kids.
If I remember correctly from my psychology lectures, most people can remember 7 numbers at best before things go hazy. This probably explains why most of the people I know don't even know their own mobile numbers, let alone an IP address!
"Where, as here, the government uses a device that is not in general public use to explore details of the home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion, the surveillance is a 'search' and is presumptively unreasonable without a warrant," Scalia wrote.
So, if this was in "general public use", it wouldn't have been classed as a search, and hence "reasonable"? I'm confused.

This whole page reminds me of that old Dilbert maxim: "Since when was ignorance a valid opinion?"

Do I have to phone up Lars and ask his permission if I want to lend my mum his latest CD?

cheers. which highlights a lot of people's inability to use their memories ineffectively (myself included!)

Hopefully it will encourage more activity like this.
Personally, I can't wait for books a la "Diamond Age". I find your lack of faith in technology disturbing....
