With a faster managment system the tracks could be divided in sections of seconds each. This would allow for a decrease in the number of physical copies required.
Even better, make sure the library has exactly 1 N'Sync and 1 Britney CD. That should decrease the number of "identical-sounding-pop-garbage" physical CDs required immensely.
Anyone stupid enough to allow incoming RPC packets from the internet deserves what they've got coming.
Isn't this akin to saying "anyone who doesn't personally inspect architectural component X deserves to have their house collapse on them"? I don't know about you, but I think it's more appropriate to point the finger at the manufacturer than to laugh at the end users.
With more than one third of world's population lacking proper sanitation and nearly third of the world lacking access to commercial energy, I sincerely doubt the whole population would need even a single IP.
Well, given that I have two IPs myself, I assume that others will have multiple IPs. That ought to cut down the supply a bit right there.
I realize that it's human nature not to act until necessary, but that doesn't make it the most appropriate solution.
The world population currently stands at over 6 billion, and growing. If only 17% of the world uses simply one extra IP, then your supply is exhausted. Of course, this ignores issues generated by distributing IPs in blocks rather than individually, restricting certain IPs, etc.
Think of IPv6 as "preventative" medicine. Sure, you might feel healthy despite having a 44" waistline, smoking 3 packs a day, and consuming gallons of lard for breakfast each morning, but what do you do when you suddenly realize you should change? It's certainly not an instantaneous solution, and it's far better to have stopped the situation from happening in the first place.
After hitting an ATM earlier today the amount of money in my pocket went from $1 to $40, a 4000% improvement!
I'm amazed you managed to get $39 out of an ATM.
Shouldn't Open Source be promoted by better virtues? I love the whole Open Source community, but adopting any software just because it's not made by a Monolithic Evil Corporation (tm) is just bad planning because:
1) Some rinky-dink Open Source programs are just as buggy as their closed source couterparts. Having just been a TA for the last little while, I know some of the horrible coders who will be unleashing their pet projects anytime now. 2) Some closed source applications do a pretty decent job and are overlooked. Corel Office has served me well for years, with minimal headaches.
Software shouldn't be entirely judged by the ability to see its source code, but by its performance when push comes to shove.
1) Create documents full of random gibberish, thereby assuming copyright on personal creations.
2) Shred documents.
3) When reconstructed, sue individuals under the DMCA for circumventing my "copy-protection" scheme.
Sounds more like a Linux-vs-Windows font issue to me. If you're running OO.o on a Linux box, are you positive you're using the same true-type fonts that Office is using?
I end up with a CD-R with less-than-stellar quality music due to lossy compression.Try a lossless format and see if the quality satisfy you.
So the average user is supposed to download 650MB of uncompressed WAV files for each album they "purchase" online? Better toss in a discount on broadband for all of those 28/56K-ers out there.

and even if you are tired of hearing it, it doesn't make it any less true:
ALL COPYRIGHT = GREED
Copyright has a role in protecting Joe Average as well, not just big corporations. If I invested years of reasearch into developing a specific piece of software, only to have someone monopolistic company copy that code line-for-line and release it under a new moniker, I'd be pretty pissed off that they were taking away my revenue that easily. In this case, there would at least be a need for said company to invest some of their own time and money into developing a functional duplicate.
...I know enough to say that most of his calculations have the right intention but are usually incorrect in calculating probability.
I think he was referring to the fact that 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16, not 1/8 as stated.
Slashdot Mirror
Some groups simply pull random letters from words to form catchy-sounding acronyms. Consider:
attRibute pIracy for crAppy sAles
sluMping Profits, pAss legislAtion

Why are these lame jokes becoming popular again? In capitalist Slashdot, early Pentium calculates YOU!
(stares blank-faced at equally lame Yakov imitation)
It's like the square root of a million -- some things we'll just never know.
SCO will be offering an introductory license price of $699 for a single CPU system through October 15th, 2003.
Linux users world-wide will be offering ass-kickings to SCO officials free of charge, for a non-determined length of time.

Obviously, the review was calculated using an early Pentium.

I would be so pissed if I had to pay for that employee!
You won't have to. It can be automated with the following simple program:
while (customer){
subpenoa(customer);
}
After all, all broadband users are obviously thieves and all P2P networks are obviously evil.
Reality comes from above. God is calling. Don't most religions have "targeted pricing" schemes of their own?

Why not make all music free? ... you can pay $5 directly to the artist to download the cd from their website.
This must be a new definition of "free" of which I wasn't previously aware.
Not only does a stationwagon full of harddrives have a respectable sustained throughput rate, the contents don't get screened by the firewall.
Don't cross the border much, I see.
