  1. My Sony DVP-C600D Does Play CD-R's on Is Sony Turning Its Back On CD-Rs? · · Score: 1

    I believe the DVP-C600D is a generation older version of the player in dispute, and mine definitely plays every CD-R I've put into it.
    So, this leads me to believe that they're either using a cheaper mechanism, or did it on purpose.
    Make of this what you will.

  2. A Handle on the New Millenium on Slashdot Readers Write The History Of The Future · · Score: 1

    You should all go listen to "Hot Dog" by Limp Bizkit.
    Then, you will all understand everything, as I now do.

  3. Free Speech & Spam on MAPS RBL Is Now Censorware (Updated) · · Score: 1

    A modest proposal for making spam easy to deal with while dodging free speech issues:

    Pass federal and state laws requiring that the subject line of all unsolicited commercial email begin with the following:

    UCE:

    Add in jail time & big fines for noncompliance.

    Anyone who doesn't want spam could stop it with one filter, or create absolute hell for the noncomplying spammer; they've got to have *some way* for people to contact them in the message.

  4. Re:AT&T Digital One-Rate on What's The Best Cell Phone Calling Plan? · · Score: 1

    I Have AT&T One Rate and am very satisfied with it. My travels are mostly up & down the Western US and coverage is great. $40 to $100 a month for a set number of minutes (several plans), + $ .25 a minute after. No roaming, no long distance. They have never screwed up my bill, but I have gotten a couple spam calls,(not billed)trying to offer a better rate for another year contract.
    I can live with that.
    I got a Nokia 5 series triband phone, PCS, Digital, Analog. So if the town you're in has any cell service at all, you're good to go.

    My $.02, hope it helps.

  5. What about other barcode readers? on CueCat Goes After Online Barcode Database · · Score: 1

    From the way DC is going on, you'd think that they invented barcode scanning.
    Do they even realize that someone out there might have a scanner that >>is not<< a Poo Cat?

    Seems to me the real issue here is whether upcbarcode.com will stand their ground or fold under the threat of a lawsuit they can't afford, no matter how unjustified or unwinnable it is.

    DC's panicky squealings used to be slightly amusing to me, but this is too much.

    *This company is EVIL and must be DESTROYED!*

    IDEA: If you travel a lot, say, for work, why not stop at the RS in every town you happen to be in and grab a Poo Cat under a false name?
    We could have a contest to see who can get the most! ;^)
