Our initial experiences have been disappointing and frustrating, and guess what the culprit is once again? DRM. Why the DRM failed to work on 50% of our purchases is not clear, but whatever the cause, it's simply unacceptable.'
Once again proving the point that DRM is nothing but punishment for being a paying customer.
The studio also confirmed the film will be directed by J. J. Abrams, who said the film will 'embrace and respect' Trek canon, but will also 'chart its own course.'
It's great that the guy charting that course is best known for a show called LOST.
Moreover, we show that the failure to use the word 'evolution' by the scientific community may have a direct impact on the public perception of the importance of evolutionary biology in our everyday lives
The role of science is not to manage public perception. It's to find out how things work. Unfortunately, receipt of grant money is often tied to public perception (positive, or negative).
Understanding how Apple's FairPlay DRM works helps to answer a lot of questions: why it hasn't been replaced with an open, interoperable DRM that anyone can use, why Apple isn't broadly licensing FairPlay, and why the company hasn't jumped to add DRM-free content from indie artists to iTunes.
The Drupal Association will help with these needs but will not be directly involved with Drupal software development. Donations are now being solicited.
So my donation to Drupal will not be used to suppord development of Drupal? what?
CNN television, however, this morning reported that every fighter completely lost all navigation and communications when they crossed the international date line.
I've heard of a software glitch causing a crash before, but this is ridiculous.
what if you woke and found a strange and beautiful woman in your bed, and she was inscrutible, unpredictable, and dangerous... but oh so beautiful? That's Vista for you.
Yeah, but the problem with women like that is that they're like chocolate. Sweet at first, then increasingly bitter.
You betting against him? He has crawled in the network, have you? Personally, I am not betting against him.
Has he? How do you know he's not a disgruntled ex-employee, who would have knowledge of their network legitimately? How do you know he's not in cahoots with an ex-employee? Why make persistent efforts to expose this unproven "flaw" in a public manner unless the intention were to harm eBay's image and/or their stock position?
Slashdot Mirror
You could have at least made reference to a user group based in Virginia: the VAGinA User Group
Doesn't that cover nearly half the population? (present company excluded, of course... this *is* slashdot, after all)
Groovy in Action (GinA) is the book that I'd wished was available back then.
Is this 'gina freely available in bookstores, or do you have to show ID to see it?

Microsoft's Internet Explorer sends typo domain names to a page of pay-per-click ads

Can Apple Penetrate the Corporation?
Why not? They're already penetrating consumers.
I don't know about you, but I didn't even think of using it for that until now!
Welcome to Slashdot. You must be new here.
And that raises some tantalizing possibilities, including a real long shot: Open-source, royalty-free formats win.
Why is it always Ogg Vorbis? What about FLAC?
NewYorkCountryLawyer updates us now that the legal issue -- is it copyright infringement merely to "make available" a copyrighted work?
This of course, leading to 2011's legal dilemma: Is it copyright infringement to "view" a copyrighted work?
Across the US, beekeepers are finding that their bees are disappearing -- not returning while searching for nectar and pollen.
Maybe they just don't like their family.

Because the DRM locks people into iTunes + ipod, and locks out competition. Why do you think they're keeping it?

Let me guess -- the Pentagon now has everything it needs to proceed with the Death Star?
Nah, it'll get stolen by some guy with a chair for a head who wants to make a name for himself.

So they have designed a new space rocket which works as it has a five-gear transmission system.
That must make for some pretty awesome burnouts.
I would love to have a desk-based solution.
Ah, then you want one of these. And don't even tell me that's not practical. Because it totally is. And by practical, I mean awesome.
OMG, Borat is teaming up with Steve Ballmer to spew out 6000 page docs!! Run for cover!
You should run for cover, because he's spewing chairs with those documents.
Putting this to the test, Håkon has published a book using HTML and CSS.
Uhm. I'm no expert, but isn't a book that uses HTML and CSS called a website?
The company will make money on these usage fees, as well as credits from the federal government for spreading the use of solar power.
So then who gets the income tax credit for the installation of the solar equipment on your property? You? or them?
The bot's creators hope it will make a great working companion for places like, say, the Moon. Or Mars.
Oh, sure, send it to Mars and leave us completely defenseless against King Zarkon.
The answer is... Yes!
Well it's certainly not a big truck, that you can just dump something on.

This sort of information would be worth a lot of money on the black market, if it were true. Why doesn't he sell it?
If his goal is to protect ebay users, why doesn't he work with ebay security, privately?
I don't understand why people insist on believing this kind of stuff right out of the gate without any critical thinking.
