If the person they are sueing has access and may have used the PC for copyright infringement should the PC not be investigated?
I think you are infringing on the RIAA's copyright. Expect them to take your PC soon.
Get it? It takes more than someone's "say so" to go into someone's private property and rummage through their things. The RIAA has to actually show some sort of proof that you've wronged them, not just "oh, we say you did it". Unfortunately (for them) they don't have enough proof to convince the judge. So why should they get the hard drive? First things first - establish that copyright infringement happened by some other means.
Meanwhile, Slashdot continues on its slide to oblivion.
Actually looking at those graphs slashdot is pretty constant, and not sliding anywhere. Digg is experiencing growth, but slashdot is not decreasing.
Personally I hope most of the idiots leave us for Digg, and then this site might just go back to what it was before. Oh and they can take Roland Piquepaille with them!
April 1st again. On Slashdot. Prepare for a full day of agony.
So long as they don't bring back that ghastly purple and pink - my eyes have barely had time to recover - we should be fine. It's not like we read the articles anyway...
at least according to the slant of the article, science has already disproved the existence of god.
Maybe not, but it has certainly disproved the effectiveness of prayer on the recovery of coronary bypass graft patients... (published in The Lancet a few years ago, I'm too lazy to look it up).
Perhaps they just weren't praying hard enough, or in the right direction, or with the right "magic" words, etc....
While perhaps I can understand the drive to change the wording to soothe the layman; perhaps it would be better to leave the wording as it is, and educate the vulgar. Although I realize that this is an insurmountable task, a fool with an education is just an educated fool.
So fuck 'em, and let's get on with our useful work. Don't expect them to thank us, either. According to them, the human lifespan is getting SHORTER...
The handy thing about natural selection is that eventually, everything will turn out alright. Just probably not in your lifetime.
And the cute thing about evolution is that we are all directly descended from that first cell, in (by definition) an unbroken line of succession. Not only are you my "brother", but so is the tree in front of your house, or your pet goldfish.
Everytime you kill something you are breaking a line of inheritance that is billions of years old. Food for thought. Perhaps we shouldn't break them in vain.
poke fun at christians... at least they're not executing people in public like it's civil.
Frankly after seeing my ex wife turn into a born again nut (and putting up for her drivel for almost 10 years), I'm willing to wager that most "Christians" would be all for stonings and public executions, only they don't have the guts to say it out loud.
They've been selling Ribena for decades under the advertising that it was high in vitamin C. Hell, my grandma used to tell us to drink it.
Now the other side of the coin is that Vitamin C is one of the most overhyped vitamins ever. Small amounts are neccessary for the production of healthy tissue, and that's about it. There is no medical evidence that it helps prevent or cure colds, etc. And a balanced diet provides more than enough Vitamin C.
The APIs are documented on MSDN. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ is free. Have you heard of a little something called the internet?
Sure. You can get free versions of the SDK. Usually a few months AFTER the OS/Program or whatever is released. If you pay, however, you get in early. My point stands.
Slashdot Mirror
evidence for the crime
IANAL, but this is a civil case. There is no "crime".
shouldn't we see if she floats?
She turned me into a newt!
What? Well, I got better!

What I like about slashdot is the dupes...
In North Korea only old pirates get citizenship!
the Department of Redundancy Department
Funny I always thought of it as the ADRDA - American Department of Redundancy Department of America.
I had to get most of the way through the first page of TFA to catch this.
Nope. I'm not falling for it Charles. There's no way in hell you read TFA...
Heh, he thinks he can catch me out that easily... I'll show HIM April Fools...
When there are a million people a month joining the internet you are losing market share
:)
Not if the million people joining are complete and utter morons. Do we WANT to be in that market?
Displaying scores in roman numerals would be fun.
As would changing the font to Cyrillic.

Isn't there some rule about no April Fool's jokes until the actual goddamn day?
In Europe (and Soviet Russia) it already IS april fool's day... not my fault the US is always lagging behind...

this being slashdot, it's only a matter of time before somebody answers "porn"....
I believe you just did...
What the hell is wrong with the US people? Why has rejection of evolution become a necessary part of believing in god?
Because Darwin is a terrorist and everyone knows he's hiding WMD's in the Galapagos. They must be under them giant turtle things...

Seriously though, I'm a believer (of evolution).
Fortunately evolution doesn't require your belief, any more than gravity does.

MRIs have pretty strong magnetic fields & don't hurt you
Provided the EMT doesn't forget to take the oxygen cylinder out of the room....
so why wasn't this tagged "ha ha" ?
We're saving the ha-ha for when Switzerland disappears and the remaining crater is filled with a large strawberry shortcake with extra anchovies.
that this thing can be refurbished and used as a chick magnet?
Not many chicks will be interested in sex if they are accelerated to close to the speed of light. At least in your frame of reference.
Of course we might be able to use it as a very very large MRI machine... perhaps seaworld can use it for its whales...
Yes, first ensure your now dead cat is cooked though-out and start with the head.
Kittens are best of course, far more tender and less stringy. But for the REAL thing, you should try puppy.
