The arguement that anything we cannot explain must be wrong is just ignorant.
Not to mention that it gets the religious/creationists/intelligent design-proponents no where. The gist of their argument seems to be, "yeah, well, if we evolved from single cell organisms, where did those single cells come from, hmm?" "Oh, the big bang, huh? Well, where did THAT come from?" Of course, their answer would be God. Very well, but where did God come from them?
Both camps are equally unable to trace the origins of the universe infinitely far back. For much of the scientific community, the universe began with a immenseless dense point of mass. For the religious community, it begins with God. Until the creationists can convincingly tell me where God came from, they can't dismiss science simply because we can't tell them where that point of mass came from.
Plenty of people do as hobbies what others do for pay. But the artists whose work is distributed by TimeWarner (whom "victorvodka" wants to "stick it to") have chosen to make music not a hobby but their income source. If they just wanted it to be a hobby, they would not have signed with TW, or any other major label. It's not our right, through stealing, to turn their money making career into an unpaid hobby. It's not our right to force them to choose a new career.
True, economic, political, or technologic changes sometimes do force people into new careers (the poor buggy whip makers, for instance). But I hope that we can all see the difference between those forces and illegal activity.
It would be its own internet, the way the internet was first envisioned.
Strange. I always thought the original intent of the Internet was to develop a redundant network that would withstand enemy attack, and to exchange research at universities. Never was I aware that the original intent of the Internet was to rip off content producers and commit criminal activity.
Oh come now. We, Slashdot readers, are all geeks, whether we post anonymously or with an account. And referring to the site with punctuation is hardly going to convince anyone that you are any different.
So, hoist your glass--short and wide or tall and narrow--and toast our geekiness. For the geek shall inherit the earth!
P.S, To my wife (who also reads/.): I'm just kidding of course. I never did that. Especially since I met you.
If your wife is anything like my ex-girlfriend, that statement ("Especially since I met you.") did nothing to make her feel better. She'd prefer to think that I used that trick only on her, and that I was a monk before meeting her. Even though neither one of us were exactly angels before we met.
Reminds me of those terrible "introductory paragraphs" people would write in high school and somehow wind up getting an A from the teacher who was impressed with such pretentiousness.
iMac mini server system media edition. Something with a built-in wireless AP, broadband connector, and separate dumb wireless set-top box to make your HDTV a terminal with wireless keyboard and mouse. Also include software to access the mini-server anywhere in the house, and as many laptops as necessary and there you go. The fully media-encompassed house.
While I think the product you describe might not be such a bad idea, I can just about guaranteed that Apple will not call it "iMac mini server system media edition." In fact, I doubt that Apple will ever again (under Steve Jobs' watch, at least) use the word "edition" in a product name. That was, like, sooo late 90s.
Dude, you slashdotted Microsoft!!! That's gotta count for something!

Let's be fair. No released version of Safari passes the acid test. Nor is IE 7 release yet. If Microsoft suddenly gets CSS religion, it may pass the acid test when it exits beta.
I agree. Besides, whether video games or football causes more violence is irrelevant. The uproar isn't so much about the violent content of the game, but the sexual content.
Though come to think of it, playing football can cause you to get laid, while playing videos most certainly will not.
Could they update and XCode to be released next Jan. in San Fran. that would compile to both architectures simultaneously.
If this article is true (which I have a hard time believing it is, but who knows?), I'll bet they'll do even better than that: They'll release an updated XCode at WWDC that will cross-compile. The tools are mostly already there: GCC will already compile to practically any processor there is. And, if rumors are to be believed, Apple has been keeping an Intel-compatible build of OS X ready.

Apparently, at least 4 newbies.
Apparently, so would most Windows users.

It's been renamed MacPatch.

The buggy whip makers were not put out of business by thieves and illegal activity.

I've never had a working Windows machine in my presence.

While I applaud the posters' detective work, this is a test that a network admin at GoDaddy should and could do if he had half a braincell.

They better not drop dead on MY sidewalk, unless they've paid me for it!
Actually, I think they were chanting "Shitty!"
I do not see that line anywhere in the article.

Actually, a 1GB iPod shuffle is $129.
Color me off topic, but you spelled "burnt" wrong.
The Camaro does everything the 911 does for a quarter of the price. Except get you laid...by somebody who isn't your cousin.

I'd expect this sort of chicanery from the New York Times or Newsweek, but not a respectable publication like C|Net!
