Just when I buy a solid-state mp3 player, apple announces a they are coming out with one. Why couldn't you have announced this one week earlier, why? After years and years of waiting, I finally buy one and murphy's law strikes.
For those that are interested, I bought a Creative MuVo N200 512MB for $120 at newegg.
This is a bit late, but I don't remember exactly what ground TW was claiming. I think it had to do with TW claiming that NKC had an exclusive contract with them to provide cable TV, and the creation of this network by the city would allow the city to persue cable options from other providers (even though the city claims it's building the network for broadband access only). He said it boiled down to TW not wanting any competition.
When I was back home in Kansas City over Christmas, my uncle-in-law, who is a lawyer for the city of North Kansas City, was telling us about how Time Warner Cable was sueing the city because they were trying to put in their own cable broadband lines.
Oops, my bad. I RTFA and realize that in this case the watermark was not only a watermark, but a superwatermark at that.
Personally, I thought this was the definition of a watermark: watermark is a design embossed into a piece of paper during its production and used for identification of the paper and papermaker. The watermark can be seen when the paper is held up to light.
So if it's invisible what the heck are we supposed to call it?
Either way, Missouri still has had this "The licenses have a security feature in which a reflective image appears to float above and below the card when the license is tilted," for years.
At least is good to see there are some slashdotters who know what free speech is about.
Just a little reminder, free speech works both ways, for and against.
"If you think that it might offend me, it is not your right to infringe upon mine."
They are not infringing upon your rights to view smutty televsion. They are however using their right to say that they don't like the type of programming on TV. They didn't come into you home and put a gun to you head and make you watch "7th Heaven" or some crap like that. They have just as much right to complain to the FCC as you have to send praises to the FCC for what ever TV show you want.
The decision to watch or not watch should be left up to the audience...
The PTC is the audience, albiet a small one, who just happens to have an agenda and is persuing it.
Dowell likens it to leaving your garbage on the curb--anyone could conceivably go through it and take whatever is there for their own."
The analogy seems a little wrong in this case. You throw stuff out because it's trash that you don't want anymore, thus you relinquish all rights to it being yours in the first place.
What Microsoft is doing could be likened more to plagerism, since google is doing the work and Microsoft is passing the results off as their own.
but it's an outside possibility that it was engineered.
Except that according to the Wired article it wasn't an outside possibility since they didn't find any evidence of genetic tampering. The conclusion was that it was natural selection.
Now I know I'm a complete bitch and everything, but since when where X and TCP/IP features of the GNU/Linux system?
Since the moment that they were featured in the first comprehensive Linux distribution.
All Linux distributions have features that were not necessiarly created by Stallman or the creators of the distro, but that doesn't make them any less of a feature.
Warm office, bah. I get all my best work done in the deep freeze. Nothing like having your keyboard frozen solid to make you work extra hard typing that TPS report.
Right, and charging between $199-499 doesn't cause anyone to pirate Microsoft XP or Office.
The only reason why Ballmer is saying cheap hardware is because he still wants to make maximum profit off the software, while makeing the consumer happy because they got a computer for $400, ie $100 for hardware and $300 for software.
It should be that that hard to realize that the same people who couldn't poke holes ballots are the same ones who can't e-vote. Stupid people remain stupid people no matter what they use to vote.
But that's when you fall into the 35-80 audience. Better yet, just wait till you're dead, I don't think they've devised a way to advertise in the afterlife...yet.
(lets just hope theres no Coke ads in games based on other planets/times.. that would do the opposite, it would make the game less realistic)
But, wouldn't it be reasonable to expect that Mega-Corporations will still be around in the future? A few Coke ads wouldn't be a big deal, but "Unreal Tournament 2006 brought to you by Coke" is a different story.
Slashdot Mirror
Brits love spelling things like that as a way because they know how much it pisses Americans off.
This should read: We Americans intentionally changed the spelling of words after the Revolutionary War to distinguish ourselves from Britian.
he's working on a new Trek feature film that will have "a larger scope and budget" than ever.
So does that mean it will suck on a larger scale than the others.

What's this then? Title of the article "Phantom console spotted in Snow City."

That's funny because I heard that the best remedy for a headache was to have sex, or at least that's what I tell my wife.

Type of waterfowl, sorta like a duck but different.
That's the funniest thing I've read on slashdot in a long time.
What's an orange?
Type of fruit, sorta like an apple but different.

How is this news?
Missouri has been issuing drivers licenses with a digital water mark of the state capitol for a number of years.

but i thought this was a free country
It is. It's free for them to complain and for you to complain back. That's what free is all about.
You know, there are easier, and much more fun, ways to create clumps of white goo that contains your DNA.
Except this is slashdot, so most people will be creating DNA by themselves, and it's just not as much fun by yourself.
Or the wholesome, trash-free alternative known as the internet.

Now the hard part is convincing everyone that real-life wars are outdated and we should start using the virtual battlefield.
