If we can't resell MP3s, simply change the file extension, or convert it to another format. Then it's not an MP3 anymore! Why hasn't anyone thought of this?
I've always tried to take the professional and ethical approach to such things, thinking that it would help me to earn trust with the company and the industry, leading to good references and more jobs down the road. But instead it's mostly lead to me being used, abused, and routinely thrown under the bus.
So as much as I hate to say it, if they asked me to train my replacement, while acting completely professional, I would deliberately mislead them and feed bad information. So down the road when I leave and everything turns to shit, they will beg me to come back and fix the shit that they broke. Doing good work rarely garners appreciation anymore. The only way I've seen much appreciation is retroactively, when they realize what a mistake it was to lose me.
Okay, show of hands. How many of you ever click on a banner ad when you're not using ad blocking? I think I've done it a handful of times on accident, but that's aboot it. Aside from possibly some Google AdSense ads, though. But I fail to see how banner ads ever generated anyone much revenue.
I can successfully argue that nonviolent videogames make me more violent. For example, when I tried to play the new SimCity, it made me want to murder the executives of EA.
This man needs to be show how much CO2 he himself has exhaled over his lifetime and continues to do so. Perhaps then he will realize that his best bet to save the world will be to kill himself. Dunno about you guys, but if this were the man's policy, I'd so vote for him.
If that's the case, how many people use alternative DNS and might not get these messages? My ISP started hijacking my searches a few years ago and I promptly switched to Google's DNS.
Either way, via DNS or deep packet injection, this assume that the account holder is using their browser very often, and actually uses their ISP's email. Let's take an example of a teenager living with his folks, using their internet, a very likely candidate for someone torrenting on another's connection, and also the type to do so unsafely. Instead of the account holder getting a notice along with the bill from their ISP that they always read, the kid, who is surfing the Internet cause he's online 10x as much as his folks, does get the browser popup warning of Strike One. And yes, it wants you to sign in, but dad's password is saved in a cookie, or the kid already knows the password cause he's basically the in-house IT guy, so he signs in, agrees that he received the notification (he doesn't want his parents to find out, durr), and goes along his merry way. Months later when he's clicked through all six strikes, either their internet gets shut off or throttled, the dad calls tech support to find out why, only to FINALLY be informed that they've been detected as pirating software.
Yes, fool-proof plan, you guys! Can't wait to see how this pans out in the real world.
Why doesn't this feature exist as an extension? It looks like there are already a few extensions that do this and more, they're just still in development and slightly buggy.
as far as I know, the only thing you often need your pinky for is the shift key, and since pretty much nobody capitalizes anything on the internet anymore, what's the big loss/
Considering my luck with Western Medicine, I would have been better off with a dice roll anyway. I look forward to AI doctors, especially since they'll probably be a mite cheaper than the real ones, and not constantly late for their own damn appointments.
"Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for lying about a fellow officer he accused of misconduct..."
He ALLEGEDLY lied about the misconduct. C'mon Slashdot, the first thing I learned in my journalism class in college was that you can NEVER outright accuse anyone of anything. Plus, the whole damn reason behind him going postal was because he ALLEGES that he was telling the truth about the misconduct, that he was fired as a result of corruption and ass-covering, and is now taking justice on the corrupt police officers involved.

Should get the point across.
Well I, for one, welcome our new microscopic alien overlords!

You know those little squiggly red lines under words you type? I think they're trying to tell you something.
Almost change a tire? Incredible! What's next? A medical robot that can almost save a person's life?
So THIS must be where that buzzing sound is coming from...
You know the rules and so do I.
They forgot to mention that their Foxconn plants are powered by thousands of Chinese children in giant hamster wheels.

I'm all for this idea, but only because I wanna see how many golfers manage to "accidentally" whack the UAVs with a stray ball.

...but then what am I to use for a stand for my monitor???
You imply that if you did tell the police about your mugger and lost wallet, they would actually do a damn thing about it.

So you're saying we don't need Bugs Bunny's help at all?

Oh, I dunno that! Yaaaaughghhhh!
