Yikes! Liv Tyler should have been banned from that movie
I agree. This movie isn't about romance, though there was a smidgen of it in the books, it was not focused on at all.
It's not like the geeks/nerds reading and watching LoTR really know much about seducing a hot woman anyway. You gotta play to your audience, right?
BTW, I was comparing how great the background of LoTR is compared to the new Star Wars. A beautiful canyon, a perfect valley, beats a computer generated wizz-bang traffic jam in a futuristic city any day of the week. Anyone else agree with me?
Fans can copy tracks, burn them to CDs and transfer them to other devices as much as they want "within reason", he added.
Obviosly, "within reason" is as little as they can get you to agree to, without damaging sales a heckuva lot.
They really don't specify about restrictions in these articles. Which is unfortunate, because that's what people really need to look at. Isn't it the big companies (MS, *AAs, SCO) that are telling us more and more to watch what we're doing with copywrights, to stay 'legal?' More info needed please!
Oh, and i hope this doesn't work, as i don't seeing Media Player having some property that implies to the general populace that it is better in some proprietary way.
Set up a searchable WHAT? Direct Connect is the easiest solution for a simple use. Sure, other people can share things, possibly legally, possibly not. But a LOT of things can be used illegally. Telephones for example (but AT&T doesn't monitor every phone call). does this make telephone companies liable for what conversations occur on their lines? NO. Go away, i have better things to do thank talk to scum FUDders like you
So, in summary, people should take responsibility for their own actions. What a concept!
What it also infers is that you take responsibility for others' actions as well. I have a friend who is running a server on a campus (please, anonymity here) running Direct Connect. He shares about 60 gigs of data himself, all legal, such as 'nix ISOs, and free videos, clips, and the such. But, i know, and he knows, that there is a lot of copywright infringing going on.
How can a person like this host a network such as this? He has neither the time nor resources to monitor everything, nor the money to pay for lawyers, or a program to do it for him. What can someone like this do to protect themselves? Encryption, limiting users?
No crap, 5mm or 15mm, you're basically creasing the fiber. Imagine a 90 degree bend, with light coming in. Duh, it's going to hit that corner a lot. Duh it'll heat up. Duh, insulation goes bad from heat.
Slashdot should have an "obvious" topic or tag... or are they catering to the complete idoits who have been showing up more and more?
what. Is there some place that the coordinates of all these hotspots are shown? I think it would be helluva cool to be able to see GPS coordinates, or some sort of listing of where there are these hotspots around. It could be helpful in traveling, and the such.
I don't have a wireless card, much less a laptop, but if i wanted to travel, i imagine that having something like this would be quite helpful, rather than roaming around looking for the symbol etched on a roadsign.
Seriously, have you seen IPv6 IPs? They're not numbers anymore, like 216.239.57.99 (google.com), but more like afbc.3fa31b.ca329b and the such. it's just hideous, and not as well known how to work with by regular schmuck programmers.
You can buy your own singular IP for about 50 bucks. It's very helpful if you don't want to change it each time you change ISPs, especially if you're running a personal box as a server.
the parent to your post (my post) got trolled?! my god, what kind of yuppie faggot loves harry pooper that much?! YES i blow karma, but fuck that. YOU ARE A BUNCH OF BLEEDINGASS FAGGOTS, YOU FUCKING MODS!
it's mods like you who keep the GNAA and other real trolls posting, and gaining more people every day. You lead a sad sad life mr. mod.

The translation of that Harry Pooter book quicker, though perhaps not perfectly grammatical or literarilly good. Me, i don't read that fodder, but translation is interesting nevertheless. Was it the Germans looking to translate it before the German-release?
Light moves differently than that... it's the same speed no matter where/when/speed of the observer(s). it's really messed up, and even i didn't understand it well in Physics3
I'd like to see real applications. For example, if someone had a few cells on top of their Prius, and were driving cross country, or in Phoenix, how much would it help? This is the news i'd like to hear, the stuff that matters to me.
You can complain about all the SCO articles, but really, people have to realize that this has a HUGE impact on software in general, not just *nix. The decision here will set a precedent to possibly be used for decades, if not a century
But, here's my gripe, which you can skip by not reading further. I would like to see more home-jobby builds, not necessarily case mods (though, i would like to get a layout of how to build an ATX wood case. heh). We like to see the simplest webservers, the cheapest way to do things on a college shoestring budget. I'd like to have an automatic CD-burner. I want to see what random Linux distros and programs can do for me, though i may never use them. More of the fodder! That is all./rant
the war on piracy....it'll have the same results as the war on drugs, or the war on terrorism
Actually, the war on piracy has been going on longer than you thought! I have a video, and there are still posters of "Don't Copy That Floppy," an effort to prevent people from copying floppy disks of games. There are still quite a few of these posters in Gov't buildings, featuring a young, rapping Arsenio Hall look-alike, a couple dumpy kids, and an Apple][ E. Google for "don't copy that floppy video" and you can probably download it somewhere.

Someone, make a .torrent of that 186 meg .mpeg file. It won't last long!
ok, bitch companies. heh, i threw them in as an afterthought anyway.

The lack of useful DRM. My god, i don't know how i can survive without DRM being incorporated into everything i do! /sarcasm
(Notes, refer to previous /. article on DRM being wanted to boost broadband in England)
Seriously, i don't like that .avi and other crap isn't supported, as it's propietary. Also, it's just not hella easy for dummies like me

I am now more Learnded

Hey, i never said it would make a good translation. Just that it could be used.

The uber-geeks are going to have a field day with Klingon...
nice... :)
Isn't Canada a State by now? or at least a Territory? :P Well it SHOULD be!
Nate? Dude, what's up!? i didn't realize you were a /. poster. Did Waltz get you into it or something?
True, but i don't think that affects what i had said about how it acts in the short-term.
