Wasn't down just now when I loaded it. But they recently redesigned it...looks like crap now. The old design was much cleaner...this just looks like one of those crap pages...you know...let's see, how about...ah, like this.
I am forced to agree with you. As much as the clip annoys me, the cat makes working easier.
I think it's his personality. Instead of just doing a stoopid "trick" animation every now and then, he just goes to sleep. Or something else less invasive than "I'M A CLIP!!!1 IT'S SO COOL!!!1"
It's about time. The subject line refers to an article on The Onion about RIAA's intolerance for FM radio stations giving away music. Unfortunately, it is a very real problem here on the Internet. Hopefully this, in conjunction with the backlash noted on The Register today (it's on Slashdot's "Register" sidebar), even Joe Sixpack will wake up to the RIAA's ridiculous behavior.
But basting and searing is not something you need to do everyday to get your job done. If some non-techie office worker can't get a network printer running, she needs to learn the lingo, not just so she can fix it HER OWN DARN SELF, but so she can explain it to a tech supporter if need be. We've had too many of these situations where I work:
"The lines of code contained typos, misspellings and even copyright disclaimers. It appeared to constitute a violation of the license."
Hmm...sounds like a lose-lose situation...To prove that your code isn't licensed legally, you have to fess up to your inability to code/spell worth a darn. *sigh*
Remember folks, Microsoft never does anything without a reason, and certainly never does anything for the good of anybody else but themselves.
Excuse me? You don't just do things without a reason when you've got products to sell. And when was the last time you saw Red Hat touting Windows as superior? ALL companies do things for reasons, and for themselves. Take your mindless MS bashing elsewhere.
I'm aware that's what the poster said, but you may have misunderstood me; They don't need a warrant or proof because you are practically advertising your activities on P2P networks.
If I kill someone out in the open with police watching, they do not need to conduct much of an investigation. It's the same with P2P; if I'm publicly displaying a list of files (say, Linkin Park albums that say "ripped by #ego on efnet" in the ID3 tag) that show I'm distributing these files, it's irrelevant whether or not I own the album. I'm making it available to others to acquire illegally. That's the crime.
How does this have anything to do with corporations? This has to do with artists and creators. Artists and creators, like anybody else who creates something, should have the right to sell what they create
Corporations are getting filthy rich from the artists' will to express themselves. Remember that Napster's website spewed random quotes from popular artists who not only thought that music file-sharing was a great idea, but it helped the artists, rather than hinder them.
No, "security through obscurity" would be if no one knew (or wanted to know) about any possible exploits. If Apple were to hunt down and kill anyone who found out about the.scr 'sploit, that would be "security through obscurity."
Kinda like MS silently passing security hole fixesin certain IE patches. If no one knows they're there, then they won't try to attack unpatched systems.
Try checking out the one in the Flash demo...it's quite nice.:D
I don't think I'd get one that'd be useless when Microsoft decides that they don't want to serve content anymore, though...it would still be a nice looking watch, I guess...albeit an expensive one.
I'll just stick to my fifteen dollar Casio. It's got time AND date.
Well, to be fair, DMCA wasn't really intended for the protection of anyone's person, but their intellectual property. At least, that's what I got out of it.
I think RFID is a great idea, it just needs to be regulated well. It's no big if it's read range is only the width of an anti-theft "gateway" at the exit to a Wal-Mart.
What I thought was interesting was they were able to hack into this karaoke website, and turn it into a CS server...interesting stuff. http://www.karaokevision.com/

Guess I should have qualified my reply. *sigh* Yes, I live in Arkansas.....

I once knew a guy who had a FreeBSD sticker on his door. Does that count?

For the record, it read: "FreeBSD: sending users to

Office Worker: I can't print my document.

Ugh.
Funny, I didn't think Sony Aibo ran IIS...
Perhaps that is why this lawsuit exists, no? To draw attention to their product?
when when will this affect you in some way? No harm, no foul.

Guns can be used for self-defense, not only from other people but from animals. Not everyone lives in a suburban household with an SUV.

maybe they could just make the RFID tag serve as the warning label
