I feel it's my duty to the internet to point these clowns to h4wh4w@127.0.0.1.
You'd be suprised how many sites will actually allow this, since the regular expressions that check them usually allow for identifier@sub.dns.com.country, with each allowing [a-zA-Z0-9].

Hey, I read the article, and still believe that he didn't write his music, or study it for his entire life, for the purpose of making money.
Not trying to have a dig at your message, I do admit that he made money from teaching, as well as performances, but this is a far cry from having music written for you, and looking pretty for a camera. These guys were hardcore musicians and deserved to live well for their contributions to music, whereas N*sync, well...they have their music written by company songwriters, and have helped music very little with their contribution
P.S: I never actually post my opinion on Slashdot, and do not know how to post anything but replies, so you should know that my posting was not in reply to yours, and I was not having a dig at your posting, but I know no other way. (fill me in if possible:))
"However, the best opportunity for artists to make serious money is to write their own songs."
It is such a shame that music has become another talentless investment. Back in the day, people like Beethoven didn't write music because they wanted to make some cash, they loved it, and they got the crap beaten out of them by their parents if they didn't play.
Gee I would love to see N*Sync get slapped around for not being corporate hoars, and lip syncing a song because they want to be as rich as The Backstreet Boys (Pop music in all its evil).
"If you believe the Australian Election Results last week, a majority of Australians are scum-sucking xenophobic racists. Let them rot."
"majority" being the operative word here buddy. Think of the 40 odd percent of people who voted against the racist. Do they deserve to rot for belonging to the same country?
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again: democracy just doesn't work" - Kent Brockman from The Simpsons.
The funny part of all this is, that a lot of violence and porn: a big target for censorship of the youngsters, is ditributed by Aus teenagers, to other Aus teenagers via their websites and at schools. Do they think they can eradicate human nature that is seen as 'ugly' by politicians?

Slashdot Mirror
Microsoft is insisting that everyone install SP2 via Automatic update,
The default time set on Automatic Update is 3:00am, in your (wherever you are) timezone
Everyone in any given timezone will be attempting to download a 200Mb patch at the same time.
...So, Microsoft have scheduled DoS attacks on themselves.
Hey, guys, how well do hotcakes sell? hotcakes, they sell like iPods.
hmmmm...all this bandwidth being wasted.

When everyone has these rediculous cards, there will be no lines, and no need to sign up. Easy.

Great, kick them while theyre down...
A company does this to please their shareholders...
How do the shareholders feel about the workers' kids going hungry for their pretty portfolio?
They would crap in their pants if their stocks were worth 50% for a month right?

You probably won't see past the pollution, which is quite colourful and shiny itself...
