On what moral grounds are people objecting to DRM as a concept, as opposed to the objections i've seen raised about specific implementations in the past.
c) At registration I had to give them some "memorable information" (in my case I had a 15 character string) , and when trying to log on I have to supply three of the characters from drop down boxes. Which three, obviously, changes each time.
You just won't believe how vastly hugely mindbogglingly big it is. I mean you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to the earth.
1,000,000 people could be starving in the hands of a maniacal dictator, but still the U.S shouldn't get involved (in fact, they are the ones that are the dictatorship).
When the US does something about the situation going on in the Darfur region of Sudan at the moment i'll be willing to believe they care about the common people in these countries.
Until then, kindly stop pretending that the invasion of Iraq had anything at all to do with the suffering of the populace.
All true, but bear in mind this is an application not a codec, and it apparently has some form of DRM attached which will prevent the shows from being played later than a week after they've been downloaded.
The BBC's interactive media player (iMP) is a new application in development which will allow users to download tv and radio programmes from bbc.co.uk to their PC or laptop and watch or listen to them for seven days after the transmission date.
Anyone wanna bet it'll be Windows only.
Guess i'll probably end up sticking to bittorrent.
I've got several live sets which are 3 or 4 hours long single mp3s , and it's tricky to split them into single tracks because they're all mixed together.
I once found a remarkable proof of this fact, and wanted to share it with the world, but there was not enough space in the signatures on Slashdot to write it.
And for those of you across the pond with no idea what he's talking about, it's a misquote from an episode of Brass Eye, in which Chris Morris demonstrates exceedingly well that people are more than willing to suspend their higher brain functions when someone mentions "Please, won't someone think of the children"
SYD RAPSON (MP Labour) : We believe that paedophiles are using an area of the internet the size of Ireland and through this they can control keyboards.
RICHARD BLACKWOOD (comedian/musician) : Online paedophiles can actually make your keyboard release toxic vapours that make you suggestible. (sniffs keyboard) You know I must say I actually feel more suggestible and that's just from one sniff.

The Earth is big. Really big.

Of course they're conducting proper research.
They're researching how many whales one boat can successfully catch at a time.

Err.
Bandwidth costs money.
Which do you think uses more bandwidth
a) One dns lookup against an rbl to discover that the mail is likely spam
or
b) Accepting the whole data.
Remember, the dnsbl lookup is done the moment that the remote sender tries to connect to your mailserver, before the mail itself is transferred.
Possibly because, of all of those companies, Microsoft is the only one which is a convicted monopolist.
Lots of behaviours which would be legal and acceptable for most companies are illegal for those which have a monopoly in a certain area.

Actually, wasn't that:

Hmmm
Yeah, StarOffice/OO are open-source and free but they don't have the features that Word does.
Which features?
And how many people actually use those features?
So i'm guessing they've never heard of mplayer -dumpstream before then.
Ah well, never mind eh.

from the transcript of that episode.

I've just finished listening to the first episode, and they said a CD will be released on Oct 25th.
Woohoo!
Ah yes, Agrajag
