This is a great article to arm people that haven't yet had a chance to hear the other side of the RIAA's arguement with intelligent fodder. It's well written and reveals quite nicely how topsy turvy the RIAA's logic is despite the fact that it's working -- a lot of people truly feel guilty or wrong even about copying a CD from someone of an album they own on cassette.
Even the story about the young child getting arrested has been perversed into the RIAA's favor. The other day I overheard a mother telling her young daughter to "watch out how much music you download because they're arresting little girls now." That's like telling a kid the boogie man really IS in her closet!
This might even be a good article to exerpt from when writing your congressmen about music copyright issues and the RIAA's abuse of power.
I have both the logitech dual optical (weighted) mouse and an elecom MAPP mouse (designed by Ghost in the shell artist Masamune Shiro). They are both excellent, but I much prefer my MAPP mouse. The big scroll wheel, it's light weight, fast response, and sex appeal make it well worth the somewhat steep mouse price.
Shinza.com sells this mouse, but the site appears down now. perhaps they are no longer in business??

Is this for people that just plain feel guilty because of all the huffing and puffing the RIAA has done?
So you go ahead and do this, and you end up basically just like me except now the RIAA knows what you look like and where you live.
I haven't heard of anything more ridiculous since Mao's request for 100 flowers to bloom forth.
The lack of USB2.0 support would prevent me from buying this item, but I really like the record from tuner option. I listen to a lot of college radio and some of the music can be really hard to locate digital copies of, or the obscure band names can be difficult to remember. The ability to record on the fly to mp3 format would be awesome.
I'd really like to see this in a mp3 CDRW player. Anyone know of such a beast?
If thousands of kazaalite users are automatically sharing this install file, the signal to viral ratio would be pretty high. I'd say the risk is minimal.
Also, the nice thing about peer-to-peer is that bad data usually doesn't propegate that well.
keep your virus scanner up to date and have a blast!
perhaps it's just that we've come to expect accidents like this with startup space programs. Perhaps it was a more harrowing and humbling experience for people to learn that the country which had best perfected space travel still has horrible accidents.
I'm not sure why you think it's an unbelievably US-centric viewpoint? Do you think the author is trying to make it sound US-centric but has ulterior motives?
As far as the speculation about future missions... it does seem like something important to talk about as accidents like this are the signature of new space programs, and it is likely we will hear about more.
blame mac for this, and windows for constantly being on the tail of mac asethtics.
I'm still not convinced these are longhorn screenshots. Looks more to me like a slightly modified osx desktop.
I fail to see how an opininated piece of rubbish that lays out predictions, nay, edicts for what game console is the l3373S7 without describing the details of how the conclusions were drawn can be reffered to as thoughtful.
btw: I think that infographic was already published in USA today.
I turn to slashdot for informative tech news, not something I could find with a search engine by typing in video games +boobies
this list is really quite useless since kazaa doesn't limit the number of people with the same user names. c'mon mike@kazaa? nikki@kazaa?
things are only compounded now as well.. for instance tonight I'm ladypimp8669@Kazaa tomorrow I think I'll logon as dimples0530@Kazaa .
I really think it's the children's programming that does it to you. After watching a few hours of the wiggles with your kids, you spend the rest of your life wondering how God let something as awful as the wiggles come to being.
"so what if someone knows I have a six pack of coke and a penthouse mag with me?"
well your apparant disregard for privacy seems contradicted by your AC posting, but just in case there are others ignorant enough to subscribe to your nonsense, let me attempt to address this statement.
This is a discussion about a technology that is going to affect a lot of people, and could potentially rip away alot of personal privacy from a lot of people - many of them not even aware that they may be being violated (ie. your typical walmart customer). You may like RFID technology, and hey it sure could make a lot of things easier, but just because you don't value privacy, you can't alienate others or ignore the fact that this could be considered an invasion by someone who holds different values than yourself. Your statement is akin to not knowing what the big deal is about Jim Crow laws or women's sufferage because "hey, I'm a white male and it doesn't bother me." Go ahead and vote how you want, express your opinion as you must, but as for making insensitive statements that allude to others being weird or wrong for not feeling the same way you do -- I recommend abstaining from that practice; your opinions only become devalued by your revealed ignorance.
I really don't see how this is bad for micro$oft. Their product can do more than ever now and they didn't drop a dime on the R&D. I didn't want to dea l with the modchip hassel, but now I'm thinking of buying an Xbox. bill gates eat your shorts.

cell phones are able to be turned off,
What?! Are you serious? I'm going to be so much less forgiving of those people in the movie theater now that I know this.
p.s. I'm working on a l337 h4ck that will permit me to turn my 'normal' telephone off.

Doesn't it seem that a lengthy eight-step process for an OS upgrade could be one of linux's major pitfalls when it comes to targeting new users?
I'm not complaining, but shouldn't this be easier if linux is ever going to make it into the realm of familiarity?

"Most people are idiots though. My computers were all patched btw"
well you wouldn't want us to think you were an idiot now would you?
ur so l337!
I don't see this as a pro-linux article. In this particular area linux was defeated. Tests found that windows is easier to use.
Why does the linux community get so excited about second best?
I'm going to keep it in my garage with my Segway(tm) and my electric car.
I'll order one as soon as I finish this bag O-lean chips!
hmm. no, most environmentalists aren't level headed enough to wait to leap out at you. They're usually leaping out before you even get there.

no, I don't think they do. that would be @k-lite.tk
or @kazaalite I believe.
haha you said fartlek!
Some 86-87 model toyotas had this as well. I think maybe the corola? It was a hatchback whatever it was.
I don't even think many non-factory stereos have this option anymore.
shame

I admit it, I know I'm not suppossed to but... I enjoy thumbnails!
I think they're great even when some of the glory is missing.

Quite right. I wouldn't call the BBC sensationalistic, but I think fans and foes of the network will all agree that it definitely holds bias.
Let's not forget the internal criticism that I believe you might be alluding to.
I thought the government was suppossed to take those things away from us.
Guess that's just what growing up in the post-modern era will do to ya.
