I'd like to half-correct myself now that I see that the "In Rainbows" album, which is not part of the EMI-owned back catalogue, is also available for unbundled digital download. Without being able to do more research (lacking iTunes for one thing), it seems that what's happened is that EMI's now doing the same for all of their older albums. Sort of in the same vein as the greatest hits compilation and the $160 flash drive 'deal'.
This is the way I felt too, but you have to consider that their new non-EMI album "In Rainbows" has also been made available on iTunes. This could only have been done by the band itself.
EMI made the rest of Radiohead's back catalogue available on iTunes in response, see this article:
I was ready to bid a fond farewell to 2D gaming when SNK died six years ago. That was a pretty sad moment, but I was proven wrong many times over since then.
Don't forget that Erris and twitter are clearly trolls themselves. They absolutely adore the negative attention at least as much if not more than the positive attention and have admitted it numerous times.
A well-fed troll is a happy troll. I have to admit I almost feel guilty advocating the open-source software philosophy because of the divisive, alienating attitude in "their" posts. I know it's just a hideous caricature of how advocacy is typically done in the real world, but still...bleah.
I use Opera for everything - it appears to be rendering fine in Opera 9.22.
You may have a point, though (I don't have Firefox to confirm your complaints about rendering badly). It doesn't seem to be rendering right in Internet Explorer 6 either. To not work right in IE6 or Firefox seems almost criminal.
That's great, except x64-native versions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP were not released until 2005. Until then, Windows Server 2003 was available only in 32-bit x86 and Itanium-compatible flavours. Grandparent's observation is quite astute.
Are you referring to the context-menu option Run As...?
This option is not available with the standard desktop shortcut to IE due to its unique CLSID. Navigate to iexplore.exe, however, and you can run it as any user that you could run other programs as.
I run Windows XP x64, which comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of IE 6. You can even run both simultaneously, and they don't appear to be interdependent in any way.
This is all well and good, but you're actually right that Internet Explorer 6 is more than skin-deep into Windows. Open My Computer, type a URL into it - it becomes Internet Explorer, sort of - but no changes to the process list. Click back, and forward - the transformation is instantaneous. The same thing happens when you type a local path into IE - it instantly transforms into a My Computer window. I haven't bothered to upgrade to IE7 yet, as I don't actually use it, but there you go.
Slashdot Mirror
Trouble is when you shorten it to LoC, my mind automatically expands the acronym to Lord of Change, the Chaos God Tzeentch's Greater Daemon.

Read about the ongoing feud between Radiohead and their former big label here.
I'd bet that the summary article is incorrect and the band itself did not directly approve of the iTunes move.
His post reads to me like he's intent on creating anti-Chinese sentiment.
Yeah, I was so going before this news came out. Totally unlike the PRC!
This kind of crap has been going on for a long, long time. Anybody else remember the MPC standards?
Where I live there is no access whatsoever to cable or DSL - but I'm comfortably in range of a high-speed EVDO network.
Iolo the bard says: "Ho eyo he hum!"
Yeah, you have to watch out for those wacky non-IP-based Windows and Apple networks!
Maybe he's from 15 years into the past and is thinking of IPX and Appletalk??
This troll has been going around the slashdots for near on ten years now.

I believe this is the original version. You can see that with a little modification it becomes an easy trap for internoobs, producing much lulz.
Like it or not, that's just one of the man's idiosyncracies. I think he just likes to project the "dirty commie hippie" aura wherever he goes.
I was ready to bid a fond farewell to 2D gaming when SNK died six years ago. That was a pretty sad moment, but I was proven wrong many times over since then.
I ran Windows (95, 2000, Server 2003) without a paging file for years, just because I could. It still worked.
"strong electronic flair"??
Don't let Abcd1234 fool you. The Eraser is the *definition* of laptop music.
233 millibytes isn't really that much of your computer's resources, when you get right down to it. Add in the virtual memory and it's only 0.97 bytes.
Got no highs? Got no lows?
Only midrange! Must be Bose.
250? No way, this article will get /way/ more comments posted than that!

Being crushed to death under a really fat guy :P
Does there have to be a CowboyNeal option in every poll?

WHOOSH! The attack misses!
Easy, just drag it into an open Notepad window.
