But I rather like my cases and being able to display my DVD collection on the walls surrounding my TV (34 feet of Atlantic Penguin and Elf racks), especially those in special packaging, and those series box sets.
Though having to move them all recently into 72"x72"x30" storage prior to renovation work has made me reconsider how I'll store them after the work is done.
Does anybody remember Dongles? Is this a glimpse of the future for DRM's - having to have a flash drive or dongle to play your music/movie/whatever?
Isn't a CSS-encumbered DVD under the DMCA technically a dongle? At least, that was the DVD CCA's contention against Kaleidescape. Which they lost.
Though I suspect they've updated their licensing agreement so that future devices do have to require the disk be present to play a copy off the hard drive.

The hostname part of the URL (between the "http://" and the "slashdot.org") controls what stylesheet set is applied and can be replaced with any other or omitted entirely.
You could set up a proxy that will redirect references to any *.slashdot.org request to your preferred domain and its associated appearance.
Yes, friends have mentioned memory card-based MP3 players, but memory cards still aren't as ubiquitous as USB thumb drives, and a USB interface could be slapped onto a wide range of storage capacities.
There are TVs now that you can plug a USB device and play media directly into the TV. Video files, music, and photos. They should go the next step and let people plug in USB DVD, HD DVD, and Blu-Ray drives directly into the television via USB and play them that way.
Attach a blinking LED, a little chirpy speaker, and an RFID tag to the thumbdrive. Get an RFID scanner which sends out a signal only to which that tag responds and it starts blinking and beeping to alert you to its location.
Then you just need a file to associate movie title with RFID tag signal. That could even be built into the scanner.
(I've proposed similar solutions for managing a home library where maintaining shelf order is not important, passing organizational savings to favor physical book sizes.)
Then again, you could just keep your content on key rings. If there was a simple MP3 player that would play song files off of any USB memory device, your music library could be kept on your key ring,
Brute force attacks also start at 'a' - always. I have never seen one that starts at the end of the aphabet.
I do all my brute force attacks with the California recall election alphabet: R, W, Q, O, J, M, V, A, H, B, S, G, Z, X, N, T, C, I, E, K, U, P, D, Y, F, L.

I have half a dozen email addresses that have never received spam as well.
I have an infinite number of email addresses that have never received spam!
I used to have two infinities, but one of them started getting a significant finite number of addresses receiving spam, so I had to remove the catch-all for that domain. So much spam that my ISP had disabled my procmail filter for using too many system resources filtering my incoming spam.
It may have someting to do with the fact that underpants are in contact with your Arse, and that's about the amount of respect you give the crap product\company. i.e it's only worthy of being where you can shit on it.
Why would people pay a ransom -provided they feel really threatened by the email - if noone is kidnapped yet? They can always pay ransom when the kidnapping is actually done?

"If you are waiting for the smoking gun, when you see the smoke coming out of the gun it is too late: the damage has already been done." -- Ari Fleischer, White House spokesman
KCJJ (A local radio station known for their run ins with the court system) were threatened with a lawsuit for telling people on the air that republicans were being asked to vote on Wednesday to help prevent long lines at the voting places.
Wait a minute. Were they were threatened with a lawsuit for exposing the fraud or for insinuating that there was such a fraud?
The way you said it ("telling people... that republicans were being asked") goes to great effort to disassociate KCJJ as the perpetrator the fraud.
Of course, if you want to make a movie about making a movie about a bank robbery where in the movie the making of the movie about a robbery is in fact a cover for robbing the bank... well, that's been done.
Or was it that the cast in the movie in the movie had been secretly replaced with real bank robbers? (I.e. the actors in the movie playing real bank robbers in the movie in the movie instead of actors playing as actors playing as bank robbers.) It gets confusing.
I believe if I could just think of the name of that trope, I'd be able to track down the movie via Wikipedia.
What is the distinction between prostitution and getting paid to act out having sex?
Paperwork. Specifically, enough documentation on the "performers" to prove their identities and legal ages, possibly to a level of detail a john wouldn't feel comfortable with sharing with a pimp (as producer), let alone a permanent visual record.
I think you mean the Preview formatting. Only on Idle does Preview not show you how your posting will appear (it eats the double-spacing between paragraphs).
I can live with a lot of the quirkiness of Idle, but Preview is one place where it really needs to work properly.

Try putting this in your ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/chrome/userContent.css :
form[action=//idle.slashdot.org/comments.pl] #postercomment { width: 99% }
Since it keys off the action attribute of the form tag before the ID tag selector, it won't mistakenly apply to any other sites.
The typical rule on the other pages is simply:

Yeah, but yer bollocks are in there too.
So, who gets to fly the pace car?
You just know as soon as there are flying cars someone's going to fly one into a parking structure.
The Republican ticket is now complete
Yeah, I still couldn't get the voice of Darth Vader out of my head for that.
Mr McKinnon should burn his British passport and go away from the UK to some country which still cares for its citizens.
You mean the network of cameras watching over everyone isn't proof that the government cares?
The bigger the flash drive, the more area in which to spread the wear, the longer it lasts.

First off, it is not "sex" it is "fornication".
And it's not a baby, it's an unauthorized derivative work and double copyright infringement.
