Yeah, the CDJ-1000's are fun. I haven't used them that much, but I like them better than my CDJ-100S. I haven't tried the CDJ-800 yet, but I hear they are pretty much the same as the 1000, just a few less features. I'd consider buying a pair, but I just don't use CDs that often. Maybe I will in the future, but I still don't want to give up vinyl.
Slipping? Don't think so. First, you can get the Technic SL-1200 M3D Turntable (industry standard) for about $500. The Pioneer CDJ-1000 will cost about $1000. The only accessability factor over vinyl is for CD-Rs (and I'm sure you can see where I'm going with that.) I have 2 Technics 1200's and a Pioneer CDJ-100S. Sure, I download tracks and put them on CD-Rs occasionaly, but if I like the track, I'll buy the vinyl because it is much, much easier to work with. I'll admit the CDJ-1000 makes working with CDs a lot easier than most other CD players, but until the price of those players drops to equal or below that of the turntable, vinyl will still be the best, most popular choice. It's not slipping...at least, not yet. And if you think so, take a look at DJMag's Top 100 DJs and point out how many of them use more CDs than vinyl.
To check Kazaa and download one of these copies, I know waiting for the big screen experience will be worth it. I saw the first twice in theaters before I downloaded a copy (yeah yeah, you can take that with as many grains of salt as you wish.)
I heard a customer in the electronic dept of Sears speaking with a sales person about buying a computer. He said "I wanna be able to download CDs and use a CD burner" and the sales person said something to the effect of "this Compaq model can do that for you." I guess RIAA will be suing Sears now.
So unless I read this wrote, they want to add restrictions to prevent restrictions of "fundamental human rights of end-users." Sounds like a good idea at first, but the solution of adding more restrictions to promote rights sounds an awful lot like the way Microsoft promotes their Digital Rights/Restrictions Management and I dare say that has done nothing to promoter the rights of users.
I have a few friends who work at customer service for a couple different cell phone providers, and one of the biggest tips they me is, don't believe the dealers. Dealers say whatever makes the sale and earns their commission. So before you believe their pitch (and sign a contract), call the customer service center and verify the facts.
From the title "Home security robot", I would expect this thing to guard against intruders with stun guns or something. My initial thought was "Okay, some moron's gonna buy one of these and it will attack his kid for trying to play with it." Hehe.
I'm all for security updates as long as they don't force Digital Restrictions Management or their usual abusive EULAs upon those who install the updates. I want my windows box to be secure, but not at the cost of limiting what I can use it for and what control M$ would gain over my system.
Perhaps Columbia pictures (that's the correct studio, right?) fucked Marvel out of their percentage so they in turn are trying to do the same to Stan. Geez, what a dirty, dirty business.
I never got to see the movie in theaters. This gives a small amount of incentive for something I'd otherwise regret.
Or maybe it was the conservative Christians who want to ruin the movie companies for trying to teach bogus witchcraft to their oh-so-innocent and impressionable children.
Seriously, I've never read the books. I didn't watch the first one. I don't plan on going to the theaters when this one is released. And I'm certainly not going to spend an hour or two downloading a poor quality version of a movie I don't care to see anyway.

And who has more of it--RIAA or young people?
RUNAWAY!!
I'll pitch in.
I wonder what they think about me blocking images and cookies from their site as well?
I was planning to open the Dr. Samuel Skinflick Memorial Online Museum at www.skinflickmom.com
:)
Damn the luck.
Sounds like a plot for a halloween episode of Futurama with "Dr. Bender, Heart Surgeon" :)
"media and tech companies should work together in the best interests of both industries."
Meaning "we should work together AGAINST the interests of customers."
Excellent point.
IE bugs can format a hdd now. What's next? A bug that will literally kill you in your chair.

Actually, that might make msgboard moderation a lot easier. Die, troll!

I know this is bad taste, but I wonder if they'll pronounce it "Rinux."

Yes, yes. I'm the insensitive clod of this topic. No offense intended

Yeah, I know it's not an accurate joke, but I didn't think you guys would jump me for it. I'm gonna go cry now :`(
M$ give them the source code and we get the spy planes back :)

How would this affect sales from sites in Canada, U.K., and other international vendors?
