    Error! The comment you have submitted is too packed with stereotypical superlatives. Please hang yourself and try again later.

  2. Re:Best. Excerpt. Ever. -MINORITY RIGHTS!!! on MIT Student Grills Valenti on Fair Use · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What ever happened to the idea of "majority rule, minority rights" This entire interview brands users that aren't of the majority as invalid- and a law that restricts a morally unobjectionable use by a minority should have never been made.

    The thing is, this isn't Soviet Russia, you can't just reallocate labor into different fields. If people want to work on electrical CPUs then they will and if they think it is lucrative and interesting enough to do hard drive work then they will also... we can't just say "Hey you, work on hard drives and be more communist."

  4. As a Direct TV Viewer... on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I still get those damn scrolling messages. Haven't looked to see if they covered them up with anything, but it's quite a freaking shame to have MY PAID FOR channels have a scroll-bar at the bottom because of a scuffle with an entirely different company.

    The message itself was inflamitory, saying how customers should call Dish to keep the channels that "they [the consumer] paid for!" when that doesn't describe the scope of the suit in the least...

  5. WTFipedia... on Russian Rovers on the Moon · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hi Slashbots! This is claimed for the GNAA!

    Is this message normal to wikipedia or am I just a newbie to it?

  6. Re:Not if you want to get things done. on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 1

    Very true, IMing is much more well... instant, and as such things are less planned and are more spur of the moment and immediate. Sometimes, like you said, conversations in mail-chess-like fasion are a good thing at times.

    I'm sure all the main backbone server keep logs of all traffic and probably statistics of some sort.

  8. Email is on the way out.... on 75% of Network Connections Not From Browsers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Serously, the second AIM puts ICQ-like away messaging in, email is dead.

    It's much more convenient to just start up a program, punch a few numbers, and see who is on for real-time conversations and get all the messeges they sent while you were away. Further, with the increased use of Webmail based email servers, it is becoming more and more inconvenient to check it... It's become rare to have a non-isp provided email account be POP3 by default.

    Is AIM ready for the spotlight? Not quite... AIM, the popular one with teens, i'd say, still needs to work on privacy, logging, and message ability while someone isn't logged on. ICQ is a more perfected clinet, but the settings and UI are much too complicated for a novice.

    Until recently, I only checked my email every couple weeks.. i'm on AIM almost constantly.

    Incase you haven't noticed yet, TONS of stuff in Bowling for Columbine is falsified.

    It's the constant barrage of fear-mongering in the media.

    You don't like media fear-mongering.. and you're... recommending Michael Moore's "documentary?"

    Something is not right with this logic...

    I'm pretty sure a kid shouldn't be playing a game called "King Of Figthers" anyway.
