Other than the small size, the quality was great. Perhaps it is the quality of your connection rather than the quality of the streaming. When I watched it, it was just as good as QT or MPEG4. Again, the small size was somewhat annoying. But quality was great.
Nice job of trying to rationalize what basically boils down to petty theft driven by greed, covetousness, and envy. Sinner.
P.S. Post those HOWTO details to a website, will ya?

Dang. I read the first part of this post and thought he was going to talk about the wife and kids. Then I remembered this is slashdot. So no wife or kids. Oh well. Hail the robots.
A vice is something that is addictive and dangerous, not necessarily deadly via vehicular manslaughter. Smoking is more easily considered a vice because it contains ingredients that are, by their nature, addictive and it also contains other ingredients that are, by their nature, carcinogens.
Maybe if you didn't play so much "Vice City" you'd know that the term "vice" isn't always related to automobiles.
I'm all for liberterian ideals but your argument is flawed.
What you describe is already in place for alcohol and tobacco. It's really just an extension of that. I'm not advocating for the law, just to be clear. Only pointing out that what you describe really isn't all that new. It's being done currently with two other "vices" that society deems inappropriate for youth.
A better argument against such a law is that it's a burden for tax-payers, not so much for stores and employees. Anytime such a law in enacted, a large chunk of tax-payer funds is used to implement the law, educate the public AND the companies, and monitor the effectiveness and execution of the law. Therein lies the biggest issue, IMHO. It's just another tax-payer burden.
You are correct in saying that most stores already have this policy. Therefore, it is unnecessary to shoulder such a burden on the tax-payers.
No one cares what kind of burden such a law puts on stores and their workers. But they sure do care when you talk about taxes. And we are talking about California, afterall.
It's a joke. Geopolitical humor, if you will. Just like all the other jokes that are being made about "dot-head" tech support. Get over it. You made jokes about Americans (and got modded "Funny") so why can't Americans make jokes about Canadians? Do you think Canadians have a monopoly on comedy?
Oh. Wait.
Dan Ackroyd, John Candy, Kids in the Hall, Lorne Michaels, Tom Green, Jim Carrey, Rick Moranis, Norm MacDonald, Mike Myers, Eugene Levy.... I guess they do.
Hyuck Hyuck. That's an "American" sound for laughter. Hope you can understand some of this.
When I signed up for the trial, I had purposely not given Yahoo accurate 'personal' information because I didn't want to be "marketed to"...
"Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." Seems to me you got yourself into a pickle. That should teach you to go "love-hunting" online.
I don't know. But that's a very good question -- the greatest question, even -- and I'm glad slashdot has finally covered it. I hope we will soon find out if it matters.
As soon as someone cites Michael "I-Wish-I-Was-A-Journalist" Moore, I immediately dismiss them as a complete moron. And if Michael Moore explains things better than you can, then I can only assume that you have absolutely no grasp whatsoever of the English language.
Mod parent up. He's exactly right. The same guy posing the "problem" also created that thread. Cliff, do you do any research and check any details before posting any story related to Apple? This is 3 for 3. Cliff the "Let-Me-Turn-apple.slashdot.org-Into-A-FixIt-Forum " Slashdot Editor.
What you suggest doesn't allow encoded or DRM files to be copied or used. This myTunes (as well as the previous Mac software, no longer available) does is record the audio stream as it is played, effectively nullifying any DRM. Nifty, but it'll be gone in a few days.
Would you please stop turning apple.slashdot.org into a hints, tricks, and tips forum? You're 2 for 2 right now. This is "News for Nerds" not "Nerds helping Non-nerds."

I put "vices" in quotes because it's subjective. No, I personally do not consider it a vice nor do I consider alcohol a vice but it is subjective.

Oh so if it's in the news, it's automatically true and displaces all previous science? Man, I hope you don't read The Onion.
Ha.

Um, Apple can patch their software to prevent "piggybacking."
