music. Let me on behalf of my Russian counterparts assure the original author that niche music is very much a beneficiary of trading and scene releases. That any author might complain about lack of diversity points more to the superficial level of the authors knowledge.
And FTR, I pay for most of my music. But the scene is one of the best resources for discussing and discovering new music. These kids really love this stuff.
The original mp3.com or the cnet advertisement with the random give-aways? Because Michael Robertson's mp3.com was novel, and way ahead of its time, the spam site is/was garbage.
He's saying that out-dated distribution models have created a market for independent distribution channels and because of the current state of things those distribution channels are training the consumer that the product is free.
You're familiar with careers right? If I break the law to further my career am less guilty? Something always motives both good and bad behavior, the idea with the bad I think is not to reward it.
not a url issue. There's no reason they couldn't parameterize it with a more legible url like developers.slashdot.org/comments/119647 by parsing and then interpreting the url.
I lived in Hawaii. Not the same and the parents point is probably statistically accurate. The Hawaiians still have their culture, their pride and probably even more importantly, their land. If the Cherokee had say...all of South Dakota, we might have a very different United States today with perhaps a somewhat less myopic world view.
Then good luck. The United Stats should be considered a warning of how big government doesn't work. Not because we're malicious or evil but because a population this spread out and dissimilar can't be expected to agree on enough things to maintain control of the very country we've created leaving a power vacuum someone will always be willing to step into (and probably thinking it's for our own good).
..y? What this guy is trying to do *is* more difficult, if he feels he has to he should be able to explain that in terms that convey he isn't simply trying to extract more cash.
If you think the story shouldn't have been posted:
Or maybe to provide feedback so that the maintainers of the site simply knows how the reader feels.
Frankly, this should simply be another kind of moderation but it seems like the moderation system has long been out of development. Still, this is another way to moderate stories (or editors).
Ya, opening a remote services like it's no big deal is always stupid. If you want to be that stupid do it with logging on, and check your logs and counts the failed logon attempts. Now do that for a couple of weeks, or hell, months. Eventually you'll get the pictures that the bombardment of you services will be constant, and ongoing. And that was before this automated trick.
I like to use ip based restrictions so first the perp would have to compromise (and discern) another trusted system. Only to then find they have to go through the whole process over again to compromise this systems. Let them reconsider the low hanging fruit. There's no point in making these things easy for anyone, after all, apparently a lot of us already are, use that to your advantage.
Has it ever struck anyone else that aside from a mediocre Update center Microsofts software delivery mechanism is archaic, almost fundamentally useless? If this level of innovation wasn't systemic throughout our industry (and many others) they would have been laughed out of business a long time ago.
Trying to attribute 'human' values, even malice, to a company is like dressing your poodle. 'Microsoft' has no intent, only individuals have intent. What they do have is a large, constantly changing body of managers along with a history of cut-throat business policies and more often then not, sub-par products.
but never treason. At what point do accidents like this trigger government concerns of possible treason? Clearly Diebold and businesses like them aren't going to be dissuaded by outrage alone, but maybe building the tools for democrasy shouldn't be a particularly lucrative endeavor and the cost of mistakes should probably be considerably higher then in many other fields. Elections aren't business. I'm not a consumer of democracy.
Heh. Respect. We don't pay for that, we pay for service. The one the OP was imagining we got for free. If people are pissed off because you give them a shitty tool, that's business and ironically it's only weird strategies like DRM that even allow shitty tools like this to get shoved down our throats.
Imagine, without the massive circle-jerk of arbitrarily limited distribution we could focus on things like quality and service without having an army of lawyers to sign agreements to pay other people to use inferior technology.
That's right Microsoft astro-turfers, I'm looking at you too.
Thanks. Everyones help is really appreciated and you've helped make something as basic as a router something fun to use (and more useful then most manufacturers probably intended).

You should never need to remove the disk unless you need to replace or repair it.
I'm sure this has been pointed out else where, but thanks for the tip. It's a nice browser without the crap.

Figures. The day after mine points expire.
In other words, it's a glorified view-finder and moving your photos to any other device or media would be pointless.

What do you think they'll do?
If you don't need them, avoid them like a money grubbing plague. And pay someone who really provides value to the Linux (our) community.

Microsoft and logic. That's cute.
Sure it is, if you throw in a handjob and some paper towel.

Lol. You lost your credibility after saying youtube and quality in the same sentence. Then you go on to say free and subscription??!!laksdfuyasdf
