Fortunately, none of them seem to have been used fraudulently.
And how exactly do they know that all 2.2 million credit card #'s haven't been used fraudulently? I'm sure that there are at least a small percent of any given set of 2.2 million credit card #'s that are used fraudulently.
It looks like Nintendo may be interested in using the GBA to enter the PDA market
And how many other successful PDA's can you name that have no touchscreen or keyboard (other than the control pad and a couple buttons). Or are they going to come out with the GBA keyboard? Seriously now, the thing isn't even backlit!
Uh hello, thanks to the DMCA, if I write a program that copies a file from location A to location B and I don't respect the "copyright protection" of every known file type (such as DVD's, fonts, etc.) I could get sued!
No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.
In addition, it makes it illegal to distribute a program that breaks the copy protection on these new CD's that won't even play in computers.
I'm not concerned about free music downloads (and have no idea how you inferred that from my post). Obviously, you don't understand the direction the RIAA is taking the country.
Terrorism, the war on Afghanistan (if you can call it that), and even the economy are all second to what makes the US the "land of the free". If we let organizations such as the RIAA destroy our freedom of speech and cripple our ability to learn, then there will be no point to trying to protecting this place from the "axis of evil". I say that the most devistating attack against the US, would be one that alters the fundamental ideals of US...Not rocket launchers mounted on camels.
Why not use the recycled water to fill up the toliets again instead of putting it on the mountainside. Not sure if I'd want to be skiing on a wastewater snow slope.
I must disagree 100%. I do think there is a very legitimate reason to allow music, games, and other works to be accessed through the internet. I find it crazy that in this day and age I can't legally access the music I've purchased from anywhere (work, my friends house, at the gym, etc). I think MP3.com had a good idea by having the user "verify ownership" of a CD before being able to download the music on the net, but it got shot down by the RIAA. In addition, why do I need to have a CD in my computer to play Warcraft 3 (minus the video scenes of course)? Now its even illegal to use (or write) a crack on a game you purchased just so you don't need the CD to play. I don't mind companies trying to keep people from stealing the product, as long as they don't prevent fair use of the product to the legit customers. And it seems like the companies are winning all the battles... Whats the next step anyways? I bet they will force us to connect to a validation site everytime we try to play a CD we purchased...and they will probably even tag on a per use service fee!

Ok, I must admit, I'm a bit confused. Wouldn't an OUTLINE font be better that one with holes in it?
Wow, a Microsoft product being product being pirated??? Its unheard of...its its, a sin! Its illegal. Oh yea, and it happens all the time.

All of the home's basic functionality is available in a pocket PC-turned-light-switch.
Just what I want...to try to turn the lights on and realize that the light switch has blue-screened.
So does this mean that the ants in space experiment posted a couple days ago on /. is gone?

I've heard of WarDialing, WarDriving, and WarFlying...whats next WarBoating? I sure hope they aren't relying on 802.11b's security measures.

What's next, SimAnts in Space?
I thought the next release was Trade Wars XP.
Yes, when are they going to create a new version of Trade Wars anyways? That game was revolutionary.
