If they ask you the question, "What color is this song?", and you answer "Green", but most of the other players answer "Black"..then they ask you that same question again...what are you going to answer THIS time?
If they had more than 20 questions to cycle through, they might get useful data. As it is, I think it is just a cleverly designed advertisement for Frank Zappa.
...on this issue, he is a nutbar. How can he decry people who ignore all the scientific evidence of evolution or global warming, yet do the same thing himself on this issue?
First, the government will require that all Canadians view at least 75% Canadian content, then someone will make a Firefox plugin that downloads Canadian web sites in the background, letting Candians ignore the ruling. The result, more traffic to Canadian sites, more ad revenues, and even more Canadian superfluosity.
I found that the best book for a C programmer wanting to learn Java is Java in a Nutshell. It won't be good for anyone that doesn't already know C, though.
You should definately give it a song, not a band name. I tried giving it a band (Jethro Tull), and it decided that the song "Under Wraps" was representative of the music of Jethro Tull, and that Jethro Tull was electronica. Only a fool would consider Jethro Tull electronic music.
I'm not one of these fools deluding themselves into thinking that downloading copyrighted music off is not illegal. I'm not trying to justify it as OK because "the money doesn't really go to the artist anyway".
Ultimately, there is no way to prevent someone from anonymously transferring copyrighted digital information across the internet. Record companies are eventually going to have to face that fact. They might already realize it, but it is in their financial interest to delay the inevitable as long as possible.

I disagree. I think a correct version of this statement is:
Printed books will never die until there is a way of reading ebooks that is as comfortable, convenient, and cheap as a printed book.
I think it is obvious that these two statements are not equivalent. Your statement makes the assumption that for ebooks to succeed, printed books must die.
If you have developers in-house, and not just system/network admins, you can get a secondary benefit of fixing bugs/making changes to the Open Source code.

I saw the documentary "Wikileaks: Secrets & Lies" at SXSW, which seemed fairly unbiased, but Assange didn't come off well in it.
Stapledon definitely doesn't get enough mind space nowadays. I especially liked Odd John.
+1 (unless you are female, because he is sexist as hell)
John Scalzi recently wrote "Fuzzy Nation", which is an homage to Little Fuzzy. Quite enjoyable.

I could see someone realizing that they have too much cash to get through customs buying gold.

Has O.J. Simpson written an open source filesystem?

Anyone else thinking "plane of the ecliptic" when you read the headline?

There is a fusion of Kazaa and Bittorrent...its called Shareaza, and its free.
According to this Bittorrent FAQ, BT++ is "unstable" and "abandoned".
