Technically, you don't have the right to download the songs off a p2p network. Practically speaking, it shouldn't make a difference if you own a copy of the CD, but realistically, that's not what's happening on those networks in most cases. In terms of backup rights, the laws are woefully outdated.
If you ever see Bill Moyers' interview with Joseph Campbell (The Power of Myth), he actually shows you statues of Osiris and Horus that inspired images of Mary and baby Jesus.
I will stick with the yellowish, sun-like tinge of light bulbs. I can't stand the GE "Pure White" light bulbs. It sounds like a good concept, but it felt like my eyes were burning.
It is not difficult to copy and paste from. I probably do this on a daily basis. The only time you can't copy and paste is if the document author was an idiot and blocked the copy/paste/print functions, or if the source content for the PDF was a scan of an older printed document.
The page navigation system is no different than word processors or web browsers. In fact, it's a little more optimized. Using Adobe's reader, you can even turn on thumbnails and skim through a document like you're using microfilm.
If the fonts look blurry, that is a function of the source document and not the PDF format. G-I-G-O.
While we're lamenting the death of a tiny segment of Kodak's business, I have a far more urgent crisis. Can anyone recommend a digital point and shoot with RAW support for about $200-300? My GF's birthday is this weekend and I need to scramble. Thank you!
The difference there is that Unisys just sprang the licensing issue out of nowhere when the web finally took off and they realized how much they could make in licensing fees. There are no submarine attacks here.
Digg has replaced Slashdot for me by and large; I'm basically here for legacy reasons. Quite frankly, it's the feedback system. If I make a useful comment on Digg, I'm rewarded by many thumbs up (my record is about 720 IIRC). On Slashdot, your score goes up to 5 and all the "Insightful," "Informative" stuff is subjective, so it means nothing to me. You can't even reply quickly here without getting a warning message. I can reply to threads instantly and quickly on Digg, and they'll let me go back and fix a typo for 4 minutes afterwards. It's much more efficient for debates.
Furthermore, some of the article summaries have gotten so damn pessimistic they're practically flamebait. But, I think that's a symptom of declining readership. In my opinion, the way to turn Slashdot around is to get rid of the bitterness that appears in the article summaries and the attitudes of many of the users. It would be a bold move, but I would recommend purging all of the user accounts and forcing everyone to re-register. This would go a long way in getting rid of the haters.
And seriously, what's this nonsense about exempting people from having ads appear on the page. This bitterness toward ads is a symptom of the attitude here and in this case is very self-destructive. You need ads to survive and should not be apologetic about it...no one should be exempt.
That model makes more sense because you're going to cut your face often and bleed if you don't replace your blades every so often. That, and it's not as if a razor handle is a very complicated item. Content, on the other hand, is much more ephemeral and it make take me several months to get through a book depending upon my schedule.
A lot of stuff I enjoy watching isn't in the mainstream, but I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is and pony up the cash for my entertainment, rather than acting like an entitlement whore for media. Luckily, quite a bit of niche stuff gets sponsored anyway (ie the Revision3 network).
Under fair value accounting standards, you would first look toward a "level 1 observation," which is a transaction in the same item. So, probably $0. But, given that this is another government cash grab, WINDOWS 7 SUPER DUPER ULTRA DELUXE EDITION: $499.
Easy. The question itself is irrelevant. Regardless of intoxication via alcohol or cannabis (marijuana is a racist term), an individual should be punished for their degree of reckless driving. If you are chatting on a cell phone, driving angrily or aggressively or just being clumsy (without any chemical intoxication), your punishment for reckless driving should be just as harsh, including loss of license and/or jail time.

This is what happens when the populations has historically been considered "subjects" instead of "citizens."

It goes deeper than that. Some of the users' signatures are actually ads in disguise!
Yes, their leaks were planned and approved, which makes them strategic. You did not have that right.

That way their own crimes can go unreported.

This is the type of pedantry that keeps me coming back to Slashdot.

I am not.

Evolution is not a process; there is no "path" and it has no mandate to allow our survival. It's just something that happens.
I've heard about MagicTeapot.com
It must be frustrating when someone walks in the opposite direction!

That doesn't mean people shouldn't or can't complain.
I can watch all sorts of PBS documentaries on Hulu...please take your pseudo intellectual indignation elsewhere.

That looks like a high-tech version of Dungeons of Dagorath.
The experience of the pharmaceutical industry is that Americans LOVE drugs, especially the old folks.
