As a previous poster said, Apple has a sustainable computer hardware business. Therefore, even if they do close iTunes, they'll still be around. There's no guarantee that Roxio will still be doing anything when Napster dies.
TurnItIn accepts PDFs. I believe that if you create a PDF that is just made up of images of the pages of the report, they don't OCR it, thus defeating the system.
The high school I go to uses TurnItIn.com, but so far we haven't had to actually turn anything in using it. What interests me is that there are dozens of schools that put TurnItIn class usernames and passwords on their websites; I've created a TurnItIn username that is enrolled at almost 50 classes around the country. I've even created a teacher account at one college foolish enough to leave that info on an easily-Googled Web page. Ahh, stupidity...
Reading this thread at a threshold of 1 seems to work for me - the vast majority of this trolling seems to be anonymous. I am, however, amazed at the sheer volume of this crapflood. I've never seen anything like it before.
If you break a CD from the store, are they obligated to give you a new one? What if it gets stolen? This is no different from the way it's been in the past. I see it as 'you bought something, so it's not their responsibility anymore'. Besides, iTunes (and perhaps others) allows you to copy the track to 2 other machines.
That's not a troll, it's the truth. I know from experience on my 466MHz G4 that Java is dog slow in OS X. Cocoa programs run much faster than Java programs.

I don't think that Windows XP is any better. What I really think is that computers just shouldn't default to root. As someone else mentioned, Mac OS X is the one consumer OS that gets this right: root isn't even enabled by default, and sudo is the only way to act as root without mucking around with NetInfo. If Lindows didn't have that stupid security flaw, it would be a better choice for machines like AOL's.
And what's the big dealio about Lindows defaulting root for the primary user? So what? So does XP! This can now be changed in Lindows 4.0 just as easily as creating a user in XP. Problem solved.
Remember who we're talking about here. These people aren't going to change a thing from the default settings. They don't care about security, and just want everything to work right. No, defaulting to root is a very bad idea.
...is now really the right time to be doing this? There's a lot going on in the US right now (Iraq war, etc.) in the middle of a recession, and going to the moon just doesn't seem like the greatest idea for us right now.

Did you even read the blurb? It said right there that it'd use Bochs.
The parent was saying that "FREE" software should only be available under the GPL and nothing else. I have no idea why - isn't choice a Good Thing?
Karma whore. Forbes will never be slashdotted.

So is Bill Gates "B-Gay"?

Fucking amazing. I went to the main page and right now it says "50 of 633 comments". Wow.
No, but perhaps a DMCA violation...
I got an Airzooka for my birthday in October, and it rocks. I can blast people twenty feet away and make them yelp. It's great, I tell ya!
I think "Interesting" perhaps wasn't the best way to moderate this post.

Going to be? It is. Check out this article about Wal-Mart's ruthless business practices.
I think they were talking about how many updates there have been in the past few days, not about security vulnerablilites.
The files remain on your computer back at home, so you don't lose all your music if you break your iPod.
That's only 7.2MP.

They all got debunked.
