but I find that I, while being scholastically inclined and possibly considered a nerd, am not unpopular. Perhaps in the 60s and 70s when football and cheerleading were the only forms of American entertainment nerds were segragated against, but in the 90s and 00s, I see no such discrimination. Maybe what the author said was relevant 30 years ago, or maybe he was just trying to justify his inability to fit in with the rest of society - whatever the case, I guarantee those who haven't had recent school experience that applied to the present, this article might as well be complete fallacy in that "nerds", or intelligent people, are as equally respected as the idiot jocks or the slutty cheerleaders.
What you're overlooking is the obvious problem (so obvious that it went unmentioned in the article) -- the power consumption. Now, I know that sometimes small details slip by, but you don't have to get a 1600 on the SATs (like I did) or a 175 on the IQ test (like I did) to know that the glaring problem that these will present is the prolonging of the electronic and oil consumerism that is destroying nation as a whole. There's basically 3 problems with your comment:
1. You overlooked the power consumption issues
2. You did not get 1600 on the SATs.
3. You did not get 175 on the IQ test
While I'm all for equal rights for the less intelligently-advantaged, I ask that you please don't post something inane like this again.
You weren't whining. A slashdot bug misadjusted the parent of my comment who was bitching about American citizens (while being a bitching American citizen himself). Sorry for any confusion.
Let's make stupid jokes about a guy's semantics when those semantics, used incorrectly, could land him a life sentence in prison. "I'm No Murderer" LOLOL.
Has anyone else noticed the mediocrity that seems to surround all these movie renting services? I think that perhaps this is a paradigm shift that the current technology simply isn't equipped for. What is the advantage of this compared to going out and renting a DVD from Blockbuster? Now, nobody has to listen to me, (after all, I only got a 1600 on the SATs) but I think we should stand up to these subpar corporations and say, "We don't need your crappy services! Online companies have to be good companies too!"
I think that it would be much better if people taught themselves how to build a computer. If you teach a man to fish, he's just going to ask you questions. Don't give in to the temptation of "friendliness". I may have gone to Kreskin to improve my SAT score, but that doesn't mean you should go to your friends to help you build your computer.
Before 9/11 I could say things like "Let's go fly planes into buildings" or "Wouldn't it be really cool if a plane crashed into the pentagon?" without people really suspecting much.
Many of his lyrics are closely intertwined with science. While it's a bit peurile for mature people like me, it would be perfect for an ignorant person like yourself. You can't deny his contributions to physics.
Like in "Kill You", when he says "You faggots keep eggin me on/ till i have you at knifepoint and then you beg me to stop" is simply a stroke of genius. This song has the best explanation of f=ma that i've ever heard in any of my ivy league university's classes.
Or perhaps in "Bitch Please II", when he says "here want me to tone it down? / {*LOWER pitch*} Suck my fuckin dick, you faggot", it simply sends shivers down my spine the way that he contradicts himself in the same way that Newton's laws contradicts the perpetual motion machine.
"My Dad's Gone Crazy" is another stellar example. "Before I'd ever bite my tongue, I'd slice my gums" is a prime example of tooth inertia in humans. I highly recommend that physics novices pick up the latest Eminem CD or single.
My colleagues and I have discussed the finer points of DRM in the new millenium. Since I make money solely based on my music, I find such actions important. If an artist cannot reap the fruits of his production, then he will stop trying to farm.
Maybe you don't want to pay $20 for a CD. That doesn't matter. I want you to. There's a reason for that. I'll give you a hint: Its not because I got 1500 on the SATs.
The problem with most people reading Slashdot is that they don't have jobs that depend on the goodwill and kindness of the community. They're telling musicians like me that I'm supposed to. What would you do if your boss told you that unless the software sells 3 million copies, you get nothing? Welcome to our world.
So before you go raging about palladium, blow your wad over the DMCA, or bitch about the CBDPTA, step aside from your gigantic corporations, and think about the little man that is the music industry.
I've had to work on many different UNIX workstations, and the lack of Microsoft's word program was crippling. You can call me stupid (we'd all know that that would be a farce) but perhaps more linux distrobutions should include a copy of Microsoft Word. If you want Joe Sixpack to buy a copy of Redhat, you'll have to give him something that doesn't require him to remember arcane keystroke commands. IMHO, Microsoft Word is the key to linux advocacy.
A really, really long time. Your firewall has extremely legitimate purposes besides blocking DRM outbound requests. Plus, with the stance that the government is tacking on hackers (seeing them as terrorists), any measure to prevent "terrorism" will be most welcome. Come to think of it, if they found a way to get around your firewall, they would be in violation of the DMCA.
As evidenced by my stellar SAT score, my knowledge of the business is immaculate. This is a very specific case, and it requires specific attention. In my post-college days, I'm becoming very comfortable financially, and am beginning to meet many lawyers (I call them "free world crusaders"). My free world crusader friends all think that Verisign, whose practices are unethical, should keep doing exactly what they're doing. Exploiting the law is the American spirit.If you stop Verisign, the terrorists have already won.

Mexico probably doesn't want whiners like you.

It's enough to make you think that retired politicians would endorse viagra. Oh, wait a second...
