You obviously haven't upgraded to the New Speak 9 Directory. You just have to say it loud enough and long enough and enough people will believe it to save Sony a great deal of money. Then they can replace the units for the few remaining protesters that won't go along with the deception.
Just look how other words (which I won't mention for fear of being labeled flamebait for telling the truth) are being relabeled, sometimes after hundreds of years of known common usage, to "new progessive" meanings. They'll get away with it until we stand up and stop them. This battle with Sony is a great place to start.
And if Sony doesn't like it, put a bright orange sticker on every PSP box proclaiming: This unit may contain up to 10 stuck pixels. Buyer agrees that this is not a defect. Then we'd have some actual truth here.
[A} unit with a new screen does not neccesarily mean a new unit.
It probably doesn't mean a very old unit either, however, since PSP hasn't been around that long and it is unlikely they can send you a banged-up unit in replacement.
And what are the chances for a Class Action suit by TiVo owners who did not have it disclosed when they purchased their box that ads were coming? Love to see that happen.
I have a Dish Network DVR box that still has instant 30 second and back 10 second skip. Hit the skip button 5 or 6 times and I'm completely through most commercial breaks in a second or less. The "fast forward" stuff is crap on a DVR!
I pay for the TiVo device itself, then I pay a monthly service fee. Now I also have to put up with highly invasive advertising?
Let me see:
1: I drive to the movie house (have you seen the price of gasoline?)
2: Pay an insane amount for a theater ticket (not to mention popcorn)
3: Get 5 minutes of commercials for other products (that's before the 10 minutes of trailer commercials for other movies)
4: PROFIT! (for someone else).
Yeah, its happening everywhere because we aren't pushing back hard enough. So far, legislators in one state are pushing the idea that theaters will be requried to post the actual starting time of the movie.
There is nothing out of touch about the ninth circuit court.
I would have to say that any court that is overturned on average 90% of the time on the cases accepted by the Supreme Court is severely out-of-touch. You need to check your figures over the last 10 years, and not cherry pick a single short period of time to try and make your case.
YMMV, although I can't imagine what a court would have to do to be considered out-of-touch by your standards.
And as far as the file browser is concerned, take it out
I do use the File Browser, find it useful, and don't like you thinking that just because it isn't important to you that no one else should have it either.
...Hasbro is not running their own online game. He's not stealing their online business. They should reward him for creating a market where none existed, and license him the electronic rights to the game at a profit to Hasbro.
We also demand that you provide us with information concerning the extent of your uses of any elements of the SCRABBLE game, as well as information regarding the distribution of your electronic Scrabble game to enable us to assess more precisely the extent of the damage done.
Translation: You give Us the rope to hang you with.
Advice: I'd immediately refuse that "offer" on the basis of my Constitutional rights against self-incrimination.
Thought: Does Hasbro have the same lawyers as SCO?
In other words, you're on your own out there, spamwise, and getting off the mountain of mailing lists you'll end up on will be a long walk indeed.
Use a disposable e-mail address just long enough to qualify. So many ISP packages these days include 6 free e-mail addresses. That could be 6 iPods right there.
regulators wrestle with the objections of the cellphone industry
Why are regulators even listening to the cell phone industry? Existing monopolies should not be allowed to control new technologies in their own best interests.

You're the one tarring all downloaders with your claim that they only download illegal material. The original post simply said entertainment.
And this is important to Slashdot readers who probably download their entertainment because...
"LIAR!", I said.

And reduce your multi-hundred dollar investment in their hardware to basically a dumb VCR -- at best. Yeah, that'll show them!

Just how much more of this do you plan to take?
Sure don't want to be one of those people. This is not what I bought a TiVo for.
Pop-up blocker plug-ins anyone?

If you read his RTF-his title, he says exactly as much. Might be karma whoring, but I wouldn't call it outright stealing.
Located just across the bay from San Francisco...
Home of the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals...
The most out-of-touch court in the entire country, if not the world...
Why am I not surprised at this ruling?
Voided your warrenty on that box real quick, didn't you.
More likely, she has never gotten 10 minutes from you.
Just how many days will it get you through, before its capacity degrades below 8 hours?
yes. Yes. Yes! YES!!!!!
Yeah, right. Maybe in a reasonable world.

And how much worse does this torque the bearings of the fast-spinning, gyroscopically-simulating hard drive?
I'm waiting for my chance at a free iMod. Something that will let me mod Slashdot posts up or down in a trendy, mobile package.
