You know, I think the Apple case supports Cringley. They ousted Jobs, Apple surged a bit and tanked. The got Jobs back, and they fluorished again. Plus, Jobs' compensation package is very different to the typical CEO's.
I like this idea, and I will buy several (many?) songs as they become available. If they go Palladium, I'll stop buying their music. If enough of us do it, they'll have to wake up and smell the coffee...
Whichever way you cut it. Activism doesn't belong in a technical list, even if he says that it's an ethical discusion. In Slashdot, he would be already at (-1, Offtopic). (Well, he wouldn't, but he should).
Actually, it made me copy the text and paste it in Notepad in order to read it, which means that, in order to use the information, I was actually forced to infringe on their copyright because of the "protection", which is about par for the course I guess...
Yeah. So are car crashes, but if you regularly go 100 mph on heavy traffic, I won't be surprised when they scrape you off a concrete wall. My point being, you can get cancer through no fault of your own, BUT don't expect any sympathies when you develop throat cancer after 5 years of going through 2 packs a day.
Go around the filter. List it as: "This is a CD that is recordable, that is, it is a cee-dee-dash-arr. If you don't get that, please mail me".

You know, I'm pretty sure modifying DVD players to multiregion is legal. Totally. It's hardware, there's no EULA, and what you are doing is not copyright infringment in any way. DVD regions are not law, not by a long shot.
I've heard a similar one, relating my own country.
One of God's assistants saw Him during creation, and noticed a particular spot. "Hey, Lord", he said, "I see you've distributed your gifts all over the world, but you went overboard here. See, you put forests, oil, jungle, gold, silver, plenty of coasts, beautiful beaches... I mean, it's hardly balanced, is it?". "Oh, it is balanced", said God. "See, that's Mexico. Just wait until I put the Mexicans there".
You know, I think you actually DID troll yourself. And got yourself to reply. Lost karma and all. I'm not trying to bug you, I just think it's real funny... you should see the lighter side and recognize it as an acomplishment. I, for one, salute you:) (Not trolling, it's a joke... and if it isn't funny, hey, yours wasn't very funny either);)
So, following your witty analogy, what we need is to provide cheats to all gamers who don't usually cheat. You know, if you outlaw cheating, only outlaws will cheat (or something). Me, I'd rather see something done about problems, instead of listening to the "it won't work, let's not even try" crew. But, hey, whatever floats your boat. (Not trolling. OK, maybe a little);)
What is with that junkyard? How come there is so much stuff that is still actually working (motorcycle engines, for example). I mean, is it an actual junkyard and the contestants play the odds, or do you make sure that there's enough good stuff to build whatever it is they have to build? On a related note, my girlfriend (yes, she love the show) is curious about one thing: It seems that on every show both teams attack the same problem with very different designs. Is it casual, or do you somehow make sure that they won't try to build exactly the same thing?
Akira died???? Gee, thanks for the spoiler. At least the Lone Gunmen are still around... what???

Then came the 2600 for me. I can play Combat by myself for hours.
Dude, that should have been extremely boring, since Combat was 2 players only. Unless you played both tanks-planes, or just shot at the sitting enemy... That is, unless you had some weird-ass version of Combat that I would have killed to get at the time:)
Yeah, but nobody was forcing him to stay in one place. He did it of his own free will. Why? To game. What makes it newsworthy (and, to me, fascinating) is that gaming was compelling enough to, as you put it, "Force [him] to sit in one place for 86 hours without sleep, food, or water".

You spammed your own father? Man, oh man, I'm sure there's something in the Bible about that, and it's not nice.
Repent, sinner!
If, after you explain the situation to them, they refuse to relent and inist upon going through with it, you should have them killed.
I can't believe you got modded "informative". I would metamoderate that "scary".
and teensexwhoreslutlittlegirlswithbigboobs.com type companies
I wouldn't worry about them. The URL doesn't work.
Do you have any other?

But anyway, "Tardis" is strictly an acronym, so it should be written thusly. Unfortunately, the BBC chooses otherwise.
You, of course, mean the Bbc, right?

Castigation != Castration.
Yes, the difference can be quite important.
Of course it's a bit rich saying it was a rouge PR
;)
Of course it is. I mean, yellow journalism is bad, but red PR? That's just intolerable.
So, the Lone Gunmen might still be around? ;)
