  1. Re:True story... on DMCA bad for Apple Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, you can buy, as I did, an upgrade copy of iDVD2 for $19.95, (which is actually the full version), and install an aftermarket DVR-A04, which is recognized by iDVD. iDVD does not recognize an external DVD drive, and will not launch if a internal drive is not found. The software patch for an external drive, as I recall, was created by one of the fellows at Small Dog Electronics, who heeded Apples warning, and stopped providing said software. This may or may not be about DCMA, but Apple chose to portray it as such, as the story goes.

    Pierce Brosnan needs to take a flying leap to another job. He's become unwatchable as Bond. I say give Clive Owen the 007 spot for awhile.

  3. Re:I'll move there if... on The Free State Project · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...they name it Nevada... Marijuana initiative might pass in November, and that only leaves Xbox mods, but you could sell it to the locals as gun storage. Trust me. They would buy that.

  4. cowering on Cringely On Civil Disobedience · · Score: 1

    We Americans haven't even got out of the lazyboy to question the ethics of a preemptive war that will color our future for possibly generations. Protesting DMCA is number 608 on the list.

  5. Re:ipod peer to peer on Slashback: Drives, Pods, OEMs · · Score: 1

    Well, assuming that there's more to the iPod than meets the eye, where's the peer to peer functionality that Firewire is reknown for? iPod owners ought to be able to "sponge" mp3 files from any other iPod with a mere firewire hookup, and a little app that "assimilates" any files that aren't already there. RIAA be damned, get a firewire hub and have a aural orgy with your friends!
