From the article: The idea of all levy based legislation is that some form of copyright collections agency collects tax by imposing a surcharge at the point of sale for any storage devices that could possibly be used to store pirated works.
Does this mean you can "pirate" all you want as you've already paid? So long as the booty passes through an MP3 player first, of course...
Doesn't that defeat the all-encompassing nature of the web?
Unfortunately the all-encompassing nature of the web defeats the geographic nature of markets and governments. Neither are going to change anytime soon.
Scientists... making tiny holes that contain nothing at all.
So these boffins have developed "nothing", but one day, in the far future, this nothing could be filled with something important.
Wow. What an age we live in.
Dell Computers has no plans to offer the new dual-core AMD Opteron
Also in the news:
- Ford has no plans to offer the new Honda engine.
- Suse has no plans to offer the new SP2 patch.
- Cadbury's Roses has no plans to offer the new Quality Street fillings.
I've taken a look at the screenshots and this game still looks like it's stuck in 1989.
You could say the same about the excellent Advance Wars 2.
Personally, I think the basic, "icon-like" (As opposed to "iconic") graphics enhance the strategic element. The pieces are not living characters, deserving of our empathy. They are simply abstract tokens representing various statistics, strengths and weaknesses. This abstract nature promotes the cold, logical reasoning required for the game.
This announcement does corroborate with the rumours that Ep. III consists entirely of Lucas squatting out an angry, sweaty dump on in front of a blue screen while screaming insults at the fans.
It really wouldn't take much to store all AIM communiqués.
I'm sure there's a clever compression tool out there which can take advantage of common data such as "ME TOO!" and "I'M OFF TO MASTURBATE. BRB."

Why?
And you call yourself a nerd...
The Juicer will take a recipe selection serially via either the keyboard or the wireless remote and dispense the juices into the cup below.
Is this a design flaw, or is it specifically aimed at the type of people who always leave their TV-remotes beside the TV?

A funny FP?
Mod that rare beast up, boys.
Does it have a shiny, metal ass?

But graphics can be flashy and functional, take WC3, for example.
Personally, I believe Civ graphics should deliberately be as simple as possible.
The graphics in a game like this are just as important as the graphics in a FPS. It is important that they are simple.

My 2c.
So now when I flick onto a wildlife documentary, or cookery show, I'll get hard core porn.
Putting publishing/broadcasting in the hands of The People has shown us one thing: The People are perverts.
Don't feed the Trolls. ;)
The parent is the first dupe post I've seen on Slashdot. Will it get another +5 Insightful? Only time will tell.

Best of luck, Dancin_Santa.

I'm still going to pay to see it.
Imagine a hackneyed cliché of these!
"The Momentum of Things" is a good movie too.
There's blood on your hands Mrs. Thatcher!
I hate ads as much as anyone, but don't they pretty much fund most sites?
If the advertising companies ever cop on to the fact that many/most people never even see their ads, won't they drop them and leave unfunded?
This better be a joke.
I only got $20K for my kid.
You play one eccentric, British Time Lord, and central casting want you to play them all.
www.goatse.us will be available to the masses.
You've *never* seen the Grinch like this before.
...if I was a professor

That's "if I were a professor".
It's the classic lack of communication between the no-snakes-and-no-film department and the and-they-don't-need-to-ship-their-single-malts department.
YOUR WRIGHT. MY BAD!
Unless Yahoo makes some real headway in the VoIP and movie distribution fronts, they could never complete with Google.

Everything being in uppercase helps too.
