  1. Re:Or Not on Technology Buying Slump · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why replace MS software when you can just fire me and hire an Indian for $35k/yr?
    Oh wait... THEY ALREADY DID THAT


    Slightly offtopic, but wouldn't we (the people working in the US) benefit from having a weaker dollar? If $1 = 60 yen, then wouldn't we be competive with the rest of the world? (which hopefully will stop all this outsourcing)

    Of course, foreign goods would cost more too...

  2. Re:Price on 60G Nomad Zen vs. The iPod · · Score: 2, Interesting
    What's wrong with a USB Flash Drive/MP3 Player?
    Granted, it doesn't have OGG support, but it's small (in more than one way), stylist, and under $100US.
    It even uses a Lithium-ION battery.

    Disclaimer: I do not work for any of the companies mentioned.

  3. Re: Looking at the wrong problem on Shortening Copyright After Eldred Loss · · Score: 1
    Why don't we just propose that all copyrights are retroactively made non-transferable?

    Only the original creator of the content can benefit from his creation, not his heirs or beneficiaries (such as corporations).

    If the original creator dies, the work is automatically (and immediately) placed into public domain.

    This way, Congress can extend the terms of copyright as long as they want, if they still cared to...

    If we blindly accept their views that copyright is property, we'll lose every time.


  4. Re: Slashdot Help on Is Windows Ready For Joe Longneck? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I like the following quote, "3. Stability. Netcraft has announced that Windows 2000 server has finally gone for over 2 years without a reboot." After checking netcraft, we can see their server is at byteandswitch.com. So fellow slashdotters, want to give them a hand?
