  1. Re:The real reason it's not a threat on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 5, Funny

    That is all well and good but there are something like 200 million Windows users out there who aren't bound by the dictates of an all-powerful system administrator.

    Well obviously they should be!

  2. Re:Stenography on Software To Stop Song Trading · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why, do you have a protocol for P2P via court reporters?

    The Electoral Roll perhaps?

  5. Re:64K Limit (2^16-1) on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing? · · Score: 1

    Or you could use Bank Swapping, as commonly seen on the Apple II series.

    I don't know if any CP/M-80 machines supported bank swapping, as CP/M-86 was shipping about the time it started to matter.


    The Australian Z-80 based Microbee computers ran CP/M on the 64K and 128K models, and the 128K version definitely used bank swapping. They were actually more common in the high schools that I went to than Apple IIs (this was in the mid-1980s).

    he was my favorite character in the first 2 Matrixes (or would it be Matri?)

  9. Re:something doesnt add up on RIAA Settles With 12-Year-Old Downloader · · Score: 4, Interesting
    You might find this interesting then. Earlier today, the following was posted to a popular discussion forum for music industry professionals:

    My source in Manhattan says the kid is a fake. A child actress hired by the RIAA in order to spook other people into fast settlements.
    We're talking about an industry that pays people to call TRL. An industry that hires kids to stand outside the windows of MTV to wave signs about how they are devoted to an unknown act. They are not above faking an out of court settlement in order to make the kids think that this is the easiest thing for them to do.

    Personally, I think their action is very offensive :-)

    The natives call it Aotearoa.

    Thank you - that verse from 'Six Months in a Leaky Boat' finally makes sense now :-)

  12. Re:Once again, the content is the problem on Lessig on Streamcast/Grokster Decision · · Score: 1

    What has changed, besides the available technology?

    As the comment you replied to pointed out - the content (more specifically the quality of the content) has changed.

    Read the comments for just about any article on slashdot which relates to the music industry, and you will find people complaining about albums containing only a couple of good songs and a bunch of 'filler' tracks. I can remember a time when I could buy an album and have the opposite expectation - mostly good songs, with a few average songs here and there.

  13. Re:Typical MS on Namibia Says "No Thanks" To Microsoft Donation With Strings · · Score: 5, Informative

    Did you actually read the article?

    MS was giving them $2000 worth of copies of Office, but they would have been required to spend $9000 in order to buy Windows to use it!

    I wish someone had told my math professor that :-)

  17. Re:no on Kazaa, Verizon Propose Compulsory Music Licensing · · Score: 1

    I'm sure 'circumvention of a stranglehold' will be found to be illegal under the DMCA shortly...

  18. Re:force me to listen? Oh wait... on Kazaa, Verizon Propose Compulsory Music Licensing · · Score: 1

    I'd be more worried that they were going to force us all to listen to Britney & N'Sync!

  19. Re:nak! on Navi-Like Network Predicted · · Score: 1

    Don't you know by now that if you actually try and distribute content on the web, the xyAA will come after you with an army of lawyers?
