Why not shoot them an email and thank them for their great support and understanding? Slashdot has atendency to be up and arms about companies that do wrong, but nothing when they do right.
In my experience its always nice to congratulate someone on a job well done. They tend to repeat their performance again in hopes of winning our continual support. Even though, ultimately they just want our money, we are still their target market. They continue to play nice, they get free publicity and lots of sales. I guess, sort of how companies should in reality always run (instead of a vast marketing/lawyer shield). Just my 2 bytes.
I think you're right. Why wouldn't cd sales follow the current trend in American consumer spending?
Current American Economic News. Next thing we're going to hear is that CD sales are WAY down because of those evil Pirates/CD-Burners/Non-DRM devices...etc.
Does anyone else think that this release was timed especially well, especially with the release of the much published MP3 "negative" and unfounded press? Right on the heels of that article the sarcastic response.
Exceptionally paranoid or well played media match set?
1.) Make cool techno-sounding wiz bang device that clueless managers will buy thinking they will save their company from evil-doers.
2.) Stick head in sand when confronted with silly counter-devices like sunglasses, contact lenses etc.
3.) Charge $1600 and $2500 for each monitor.
4.) ???
5.) Profit.
I use freesco at home and it rocks. Best of all, compared to the above commments:
Freesco:free+legal=no criminal proceedings
Hacked Cisco: not free+illegal=meeting Bubba in showers.
thought that brainwaves transcribed and played back to insominiacs is preposterous. I mean really, who believes in this type of garba.....Zzzzzzzzzz ZZzzzzzzzzzzz ZZZzzz
I agree and have seen a similiar solution. If you use the company's computer to access the internet, you are using their resources (both time and money) to do so. If you do not want your private email monitored, simply wait till you get home and do it then.
I think that most companies should implement a junk email address as well, for signing up for information on the net (similiar to a throw-away Hotmail account). That way you will not need to use your own personal accounts.

Reminds me of a famous quote from a movie:
"I'm gonna make him an offer, he can't refuse".

Yes but that would have been a voluntary mission. This one wouldn't have to be...
Sure, but Bill and Ted also gave the idea to Socrates. I mean sheesh...get your history right!
I agree completely. I actually want to try this mod out, it seems like he spent a good deal of time creating.
I am still trying to buy the original quake version, but cannot seem to find it in any stores. Anyone know of any stores still selling it?
1.) Start a small website dedicated to nerds and current technology.
2.) ????
3.) Profit.

True. Might as well make it more useful. Put some hors d'oeuvres on it or a soda fountain.
BUT make sure you put a sign saying this is NOT an ash tray. Nobody needs a blazing, screaming robot streaking across the dance floor.
