How is a digital VCR that uses a hard drive any threat to Hollywood? Jack Valenti is an idiot. This is the same guy who compared the VCR to the Boston Strangler, and said it would kill Hollywood. The VCR turned out to be a new licence for Hollywood to print money. To hell with the MPAA.
If wifi multiplies like rabbits, and several dozen incompatible wireless networks are set up, and no one of them has enough users to pay the bills, they'll all die like rabbit did in the UK. People will be stuck with expensive hardware that doesn't work any more, much like cellular phones. I personally have two that can't be activated anymore from providers going belly up and being bought out. It hella sux!
I guess there are a lot more people than I thought who just don't get it about spyware. They'll learn the hard way if this software is part of an RIAA sting.
Wow! AOL is beginning to figure out that people don't want to be bombed with ads when they are paying for the use of a service. AOL has more garbage in it then free Netzero and Juno, Their paying subscribers have figured out that AOL views them as a cheap commodity, and are leaving in droves. My computer illiterate father, who they could have kept for life if they had 10% less advertising, is even switching to a real ISP. Maybe if they would let him just log in without saying "no" to three sales pitches first, he would stay. AOL will fix their problems too late. They are circling around the same drain Worldcom just went down. Ha! Good riddence.
I doubt that anyone with as much as half a brain will use this turkey. I bet Bertelsmann sues them for using the name "napster." If they don't, then the whole thing may be an entrapment scheme, courtesy of the RIAA.
Black Cat, Moon Traveler, and several dozen other manufacturers already make missiles that could take these out. They're called bottle rockets! I wonder if the Air Farce thought of that.
This "asteroid" is really the mother ship, but you must shed your shells, because only your inner spirit can be beamed up. There is a very small window of opportunity to join the Gods on the mother ship. You must consume the poison at precisely 8:00AM PDT on August 18, and be covered with a purple cloth arranged in the shape of a pyramid. Don't forget to wear your new white Nike shoes!
Geraldo Rivera, eh? Searching for treasure in Al Queda's Vaults? Maybe he could send one of those robots back into Al Capone's Vaults, and maybe it would find something this time. For those too young to remember, it was the highest rated TV special of all time, and there was nothing in there. If Capone had ever used that hidden basement as a vault, he cleaned it out.
The three laws of robotics are science fiction. These are reality. Did you read the part of the article that said they could be mounted with grenade launchers, and shotguns? They are a lot closer to The Terminator than those "I will not harm a human being, nor through inaction allow a human being to be harmed" fairy tale robots. Hasta la vista, baby!
Sometimes the only way to kill a virus is by booting from a clean boot floppy, and running a rescue disk set. The floppy is also heavily used by repair technicians to run diagnostics, such as Forefront Troubleshooter. It can also be a pain to install windows without a boot floppy. Rumors of the diskette's death are greatly exaggerated
Hooray for the Chinese finally doing something about it. Samuel Clemens would be amused.

PC magazine is a classic example of what was wrong with the content of ZD magazines. All it did was cheerlead for Microsoft, Intel, and manufaturers of garbage hardware. They also tried to play three card monte with advertisers by claiming the people they sent free magazines to as real subscribers. Advertisers eventually figured out that their ads were getting thrown straght into trash cans by people who didn't read mags they didn't subscribe to. The best example of this was Yahoo Internet Life. I doubt that any advertisers will stick with them once they file. Adios, ZD.
When you boil it all down, America does not have to submit to an international court because we are wealthy and powerful enough to tell the rest of the world where to go. We are the new Roman Empire. Rome did not consider what the rest of the world thought even for a second. Rome fell, but the Visigoths arent coming over our hills, yet.
They better be careful on the dark side of the moon. I read that there is an alien base with a death ray hidden there. If they could get N*Stync blown up, but not themseves, that would be cool!
Let me get this strait. He shows them they have a flaw, so they can fix it, and they call him a hacker, and arrest him. No good deed goes unpunished. Never be a dogooder. I hope from now on, no one in the tech community helps out another government agency or company unless on their payroll, with a written agreement that finding the security flaws is their job, not hacking. To hell with them all! I hope a real hacker teaches them a lesson over this!

Looks like the thing between her legs, dimly lit by candlelight. I'm getting wood!

That bacteria was from Uranus.
You are smoking butt crack.
International law only applies to the losing side of a war. No winning side was ever put on trial for war crimes.

What's a stealer? Is that illiterate 'marikan for theif? "I is NOT illiterate! My parents wuz married three months afore I wuz borned!"
I do not think we face a significant threat from Asteroids, but we do face a serious threat from Space Invaders!

The slightest wind gust will knock these expensive little toys out of the sky. That will severely limit their usefulness.

Can it repel this "pest"? Bill Gates would like to know.
That's not the demon duck of doom! Here's a picture of the Demon Duck of Doom! run for your life!

Now that such large drives exist, you will need one to install the next version of windows, and a second drive if you want any apps.
