of course the students pay more - you're comparing multiple people to a single person. you can only watch TV once at a time.
in related news, did you know that all the poor taxi drivers pay more in driving licence fees than all the billionaires with their luxury cars? outrage!
the point is that now this order is made, if someone claims they "accidentally" deleted something then they still go to jail. it shifts burden of proof from AMD proving the document was incriminating to other people proving it wasn't.
>Wouldn't this be a perfect use of BitTorrents? Is there some good reason why they are not using BitTorrents or are they just unaware of the technology?
no, it's probably because torrents are crap. it's now a few hours after this story, and there are zero people sharing.
even when torrent work perfectly the quality they provide is only equivalent to a 3rd rate webserver, not something a site as good as the BBC should settle for.
>But Apple has been really complacent with it's development for the last while.
"for the last while"? sounds like someone wants to make a point but has no facts or evidence so just uses meaningless vague language. congratulations, pick up your MBA on the way out.
are we going to have a new story every time Google adds a little bit more info to its crappy maps?
yes, they *are* crappy, for the UK at least.
at first all they did was sloppily overlay road maps onto postcode maps, with the result that postcodes are displaced from their true location by about 2 streets (a lot since a postcode is supposed to localise you to within half a street or so).
now they've added spotty low-res imagery on top. looking at where I live the map looks quite wrong, but then it's so low-res I can't even resolve streets so I can't say for sure.
this is very very poor. I expect more from Google, even at beta.
it's very simple. no real company would send you an email asking for personal details. and they remind you of this every time they do send you a legitimate email as well as when you sign up.
okay, so it might have been fantastic the first time around, but it has got to be one of the most overrated series ever.
even if nothing was done after the first three films so it was as "pure" as possible, imo once the people old enough to have seen it on release die it would have been completely forgotten. after ROTS (which I think was okay to good but mostly just due to Ewan's enthusiasm) I tried watching the first film again. I got about 10 mins in before I got so bored I had to stop - "stop dicking about in the desert and get to the point!".
glitches, UK sat images only let you differentiate between green bits and brown bits, and postcodes are offset from their tru position by about 2 streets.
not bitching about it being beta quality, just about it being beta quality and yet being on slashdot.
or is MS starting to sound really pathetic with all their multiple-year-till-release product announcements?
to me they sound like a really scared company making very slow progress. have the run-ups to previous Windows releases been like this or is it a new phenomenon for MS?
I have 2 - one at work and one at home for use with my iBook. probably the best keyboard I've ever known. batteries last a couple of months or so. it has a power switch for extended periods of inactivity.
who was the genius that came up with the idea to have a button on the GUI for "slightly change the colour shade of all the wasted space". it's like the worst design built on top of the worst design. I don't believe it's meant to be a joke but the level of retardedness required at so many levels (management, design, coding) for it to have gone through as a serious feature is just astounding.
OSX. even if it were far more expensive than Windows. the fact that it's actually far cheaper is just a sweetener. I simply could not do my work on a Windows machine without installing cygwin or spending lots of time and effort and money.

>The government charges taxpayers for the music and they have no choice but to pay.
shut the fuck up. you clearly haven't got a clue what you're talking about.
it is NOT taxpayer money. it is licence fee money. you don't have to pay for it. I don't.
now fuck off.
stfu with the capitals.
my Mac has a MAC address for networking.
I'm a student myself but you're talking bollocks.
of course the students pay more - you're comparing multiple people to a single person. you can only watch TV once at a time.

if I remember correctly Omagh was so bad because the police accidentally moved people the wrong way - towards the explosion.
> People die in a lot of ways.
yes but this isn't "dying", it's pre-meditated murder.
> I'm a little surprised--why did it take so long for someone to do this?
because it wasn't until last week that someone actually bought a DVD-Audio disk

who is booting a Mac 1000 times?
you're obviously a Windows user.
> If I remember my grammar correctly, it's "I" before "E" EXCEPT after "C".
only when the sound is long e. which, in this case, it is.
it's very simple. no real company would send you an email asking for personal details. and they remind you of this every time they do send you a legitimate email as well as when you sign up.
the MYTH that it was good in the first place?
okay, so it might have been fantastic the first time around, but it has got to be one of the most overrated series ever.

what's the state of linux bluetooth support (for bluetooth keyboard and mouse) ?
>Apple's iPod only being able to play iTunes music
does not compute.
it won't use WMP but I agree about its interface.

I don't believe it's meant to be a joke but the level of retardedness required at so many levels (management, design, coding) for it to have gone through as a serious feature is just astounding.
exactly what part of iTunes lets you down?
did you actually try any of the things you listed before bitching about not being able to do them?
>Which would you use if you had an easy choice?
OSX. even if it were far more expensive than Windows. the fact that it's actually far cheaper is just a sweetener. I simply could not do my work on a Windows machine without installing cygwin or spending lots of time and effort and money.
fools! MS would rather PAY YOU to maintain its monopoly and mindshare than have you turn to linux.
