Maybe I'm missing something, but what about the legality of that site? I've seen it advertised often here as a good service (it looks quite professional) but I'm hazy as to its legitimacy.
Check out Dead Man's Switch. If you die, it can send out e-mails to those of concern and delete all of your hardcore porn so not as to destroy your family's last image of you.

Article I, Section 8, US Constitution
The US system is intended for initial exploitation, but whether that's being practiced now is a whole other story.
I'm interested to see how this will affect those who download from Usenet and IRC, my two favorite ways of getting music. Surely they can't block newsreaders and legitimate IRC clients.
TechTV has been part of Comcast basic cable in Detroit for at least the last five years. They cover things like hardware mods, behind the scenes at high-tech places (military, TV production, etc.), computing tips, tech/stock news, video games, and all that good stuff. On the live shows that Laporte hosts, they regularly reference Slashdot when covering the news. Quite a fun station for geeks.
...but in a slightly different form. Back when the Famicom Disk System was popular in Japan (basically an NES with a disk drive) there used to be machines where you would pop in a disk, pay a fee, and it would write, and out comes Zelda II or whatever your heart desires. Only thing is, it was pretty hard to copy these games in comparison to the CD-Rs that are used today.
It seems that the site using anti-leech software (it blocks Opera in this instance) just got issued a notice from the RIAA to take down its CD cover scans section (must be due to lost profits!) If that's not juicy irony, I don't know what is.

Ice caps, anyone?
Actually, ESPN and MSN dissolved their partnership back in July 2004.
Leave it to the new guy to discover the "Enter" key.

MS has no obligation to pirates, and no responsibility for the problems caused by pirates.
In other news, the Spanish monarchy has withdrawn their lawsuit to force reimbursement the 1521 capture and looting of their treasure fleet.

It's too bad that 56K users are forced to download a 273MB file to fix this. That's almost 20 hours at 4KB/sec!

Hey, I don't appreciate all of this anti-Real Networks and anti-Microsoft senti...[BUFFERING 0.03%]
As long as the application has been released, it's no big deal if it's been shut down. I mean, UltraHLE was only out for a few hours, but it survided.

Boy, is that a vicious cycle. "To understand recursion, one must first understand recursion."
DirectX 9.0
64 megs of ram
The odds of getting Windows XP to run smoothly with 64MB of RAM are now greater than winning the actual lottery.
But underneath, Longhorn is the same old bull.
That may be true that dupes are tiresome, this topic is as interesting as the 50-year-old LP format vs. 20-year-old CD format wars.

That quote was actually from PCU, not Animal House.

I haven't seen it yet, you insensitive clod!
I doubt we will see a windows OS that WILL require a GHz machine any time soon.
Of course not! Just like Microsoft says you can run Windows 2000 on a 386 with 4MB of RAM.

I didn't know there were advertisements in Eminem's music!
I have to get out more.
