You didn't read the article. and it does not match the headline/slashdot comments
The # 5,000 does not even appear in it, and it says they sold MORE copies, not less. they concluded that file sharing actually increases CD sales for hot albums that sell more than 600,000 copies. For every 150 downloads of a song from those albums, sales increase by a copy, the researchers found.
Well, thank you for the math.. if not the presentation.
I usually leave before I manage to hit the 1/32 odds.. living near Atlantic City, I often accompany out of town visitors to the casino, this is what I do, when I get ahead by 100$, I usually quit for the night..
I suppose you could make something of it, why is it that porn site eula's (which NO one concerns themselves with) all contain language to the effect that, you must be in a region/country/community where this is legal..
Much like the RIAA finally realized they must go after the individual. Legitimate enforcement is to have to be made against the folks doing the gambling, not the gambling sites. that's where the law is being broken.
If I am from a state that bans gambling, and go to vegas, I'm not breaking the law. if I go to montecarlo.com, where am I? in whose jurisdiction?
when I have a large file to move to different computers in my home network, I always first create a tracker for local use, and then copy it to all my computers.. the best thing is the decreased load on the original PC!
you should see my share ratios! it's just ever so much more efficient!
until the first time you forget enough cash and pay via credit card or check debit card.
surely you know, your name is encoded on that little magnetic strip?
with your real name- they can find your snail mail address-- truly..

it does not hit my processor that hard, while running at idle, I have 2% usage, this (after startup) floats between 5 & 8

they slow down, pages take forever to load, and pingtimes shoot way up... new windows take a while to appear, and my email send/recieve even times out.

Slashdot Mirror
part of that whole 'reality' is a 'projection' of the common conciousness belief system.
truth is stranger than fiction...
I read the linked to article from the slashdot paragraph. the value 5,000 is not contained within the article.

the killer is the 2.5 inch.. this box holds LAPTOP drives.

you need about 100$
step (1) bet 25$ on black, if you win, step 1 else step 2
step (2) bet 50$ on black, if you win, step 1 else step 3
step (3) bet 100$ on black, if you win, step 1 else step 4
step (4) bet 200$ on black, if you win, step 1 else step 5
step (5) bet 400$ on black, if you win, step 1 else leave casino, you just managed to beat one in 32 odds (give or take)
every time you hit, you are ahead 25 dollars.
Say I've never been to DC, does that mean no court there can have sway over me?
Class action lawsuits can be based in a state where I don't live and neither does the company have it's headquarters there.
political?

then shouldn't this be +5 redundant, but still insightful?
and you can change it, or clone it, and it's not guaranteed unique...
do you have a cite for your claim that p 4's have individual serial numbers?
see for example, this link at intel for the faq or this link where intel started defending it or this link, last updated 4/28/2000 talking about the fact that psn's (pentium serial numbers) will not be in the next generation of pentiums that last link has many bits about why the PSN was a headache.
although you could turn the volume to zero...
go search for the artist "lords of acid" and read the song list.

do you always pay cash? no? then it's no longer anonymous

Slashdot, google, the in network veo camera that I use to look in on my son, and something else I don't want to name
I can click any of them to start there.. but if I click home, that's google.-- but, I have four start pages
it's still my fav bittorrent client. best legibility and maintaining of multiple torrents at the same time..
is that it's running under java, and always brings my computer to it's knees...
even at minimal up/down kb settings, all my web browsing, email checking is extremely reduced in speed, and I CANNOT play diablo with it runnning at all.
but don't you have to divide the bits (by 8) to get the bytes?
tough deal....
have you paid for the next 98 years registration for the sumbitch that took the name away from you?
Yes, I now own (as of 48 hours ago) a heavy duty hand router
this in addition to the jigsaw, dremel, and various pieces I already owned....
