Hey, my family came to the states united fewer than two hundred years ago. You're the ones who settled the place and then couldn't control the crowd. You forfeited the right to control language when you unleashed its geography from your governance, you puny wipers of other people's bottoms.
There's just no economic incentive to pay the prices the recording companies are asking for.
Yes, but nobody said that they were reasonable or honest prices to begin with. In most industries, prices will fall or the companies do. In the few which have such... influence, the consumers buy by the Leaders' terms or they'll be legislated into a box where there are no other terms at all.
I was always under the impression, never having heard of "IAP," that the "Service" in ISP mean the service of receiving access to the internet, not the services on the internet. In AOL's case, they started by providing their own services, and _then_ introduced connections to the internet; so from their point of view, your definition may make sense. But for an ISP (IAP) who connects you to the internet for ten bucks a month, their main services include mail, dns, and the actual connectivity.
Sci-Fi network shocks viewers: Farscape, its flagship series, has been cancelled.

In a surprise chat yesterday night, David Kemper, Richard Manning and Ben Browder announced Sci-Fi network's decision to cancel Farscape, critically acclaimed and much beloved SF series, now in its fourth season.
Although Sci-Fi has previously contracted for two more seasons of Farscape, they have now excercised an out-clause. This was made known to the creators and cast only after they have finished filming the last episode of Season 4, which means that they have had no chance of even finishing the story. Farscape will thus end with a cliffhanger and unfinished story threads.
I'm not sure he was talking about VCD. Isn't "MiniDVD" something different? It's supposed to be DVD quality for 18 minutes or so. Where VCD is longer, but has poorer quality.

Your post has nothing to do with this thread, especially under the last two or so comments.
You do realize that Slashdot is implementing a broken, unrealized version of a karma-based system, right? No *real* karma/mojo/merit-based system has ever been tested.

That was one of the most surreptitious and coherent trolls I've ever seen on slashdot. It made me laugh. If that's what it meant to be a troll, then we wouldn't worry with it. It'd bring needed satire into the fray. However, this is rare.
Let us just say that this points to what is becoming more and more true in the wake of DRM and palladium fears -- licensing is a religious issue.

Fuck you too, Frenchy.
That's what I was wondering...
And you may think you're kidding... they couldn't pay anybody but their lawyers for this kind of publicity.
I think a better way to handle that would have been to place a link to explicit instructions as to how to avoid DRM (wink wink nudge nudge).
I love that old hippie.
Not more freedom, since they have control of their means of communications, not (just) their machines.
There will... there MUST always be a non-drm hardware platform out there, if for no reason other than price.

Please consult this informational piece, you idiot.
There are much more skillful ways to present that troll. Go back, read some more comic books, and try again.
And get (-1, Offtopic) every single time, somehow.

Needles to say, the fanbase is in an uproar and the cast is shocked.
And not suprisingly, Dilbert has seen it coming.
If you like Farscape and would like to see it go on, add your voice to the enraged masses.

Yep. And Microsoft just finished plugging all the security holes in XP. *fffffp*
Well, that's close, but that's not where the joke came from.

Not at all. That's exactly the info I needed, too.

wait... 18, 19, 20...
Uh oh... you read the article. I'm sure the editors will surpress this post in order to stimulate their kind of dialog.

Ooo, sounds tasty. Got any links or starting points? (e.g., specific posts in google cache, etc.)
Here's the screenshots in the easy to navigate "NakedBrowser".

Satire will be my epitaph.
