The "spyware" complaints have persisted for years after someone found one rogue chunk of code that sent us a lot of useless information that was going in the bit bucket (if you look at what was being collected, it really wasn't interesting).
Conspiricy theories are a dime a dozen. What can you do except laugh at them?
Did you know that some people say the moon landings were faked! *shocked expression*
while it doesn't compair the audio end of the spectrum. http://www.doom9.net/ Doom9's website does a nice and fair comparison of the video end of the spectrum (RV9 vs Divx and others).
Oh sure, the phrase "we can change these privacy rules at anytime" effectivly means we will do what ever we want with your info.
Oh and we will contact you for "opt-out" after we have sold your info.
The point I came away with was "Why did it take so long to adapt?"
Before you go off and say "duh!" again, think about it. Given a balance beam, how tries do you think it would take you before you could walk on it without having any balance problems? Once? Twice? Three times? Maybe zero?
So why did it take the astronauts FIFTEEN DAYS before their "timing" even STARTED adapting to zero g?
Unless the experiment consisted of only "thowing" the ball one time in each day of the expriment, the outcome is contrary to normal human adaption.
Just my two cents.....
The point of the article wasn't that the astronauts were off. Like you said, duh, that is going to be a given.

If Netscape had a browser that was as good as IE it would still be in the game.
Microsoft wouldn't even have IE if they didn't buy it, but they do a great job at skining the products they buy. I have to be fair though, I know there definatly was/still is contorversy over how Netscape got its browser.
Will someone confirm/correct this for me. After NT3 my knowlege is limited to what I have read.
WinXP -> Win2k -> NT4 -> NT3.51 -> NT3 ->... -> IBM OS/2 version 3.
AFAIK, Microsoft got (or was allowed to purchase) OS/2 version 3 in the fallout from litigation with IBM. At least that's what I remember my A+ cramexam book saying. Please correct me.
Speaking of which, does anyone know who Microsoft bought from, the componets of MS Office? and Media Player for that matter?

I don't think I can get myself into any by saying the majority of Slashdot readers are very quick to judge....
Uhm.. because they are not their own to begin with? The video and audio are licensed from others.
Will it verify if the hand is still connected to the person's body?

Try it yourself, encode a song you like from the original CD to 64k RealAudio in RealOne.
Whether you may like it or not 64k RealAudio is way more equal to 128k MP3 than 64k MP3.

Breaking the package takes way more time than just ignoring the "fragile" statement. -Flavas
You are not paying for protection.
You are paying them an amount of money such that in the event the package is damaged, you'll get the amount of insurance you paid for.

Where is the hype news that Sadamm and Osama are going to buy millions of these so they can blow up the evil americans?
but the lack of a DVD player threw me a little
So just buy a cheapo dvd player. I like the idea of not having to pay for Nindendo's dvd player when I already have one.
Except Gamecube games are dual layered DVDs not CDs. So there goes you're whole theroy.
I think you're dreaming if you think it will be region free.
