Re:Some of the changes (possible spoilers)

Star Wars on DVD

· Score: 5, Interesting
I saw on some interview that the minor dialogue changes weren't even intentional; when they were remastering the film for 1997, they sometimes had to use different takes that hadn't deteriorated as much (or so they say). They claim they didn't even realise they had changed any of the dialogue until diehard fans started complaining... ^_~
Isn't this what (some) DVD players already use so they're compatable with all those disc formats? CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, etc etc... remember how the first DVD players couldn't read CD-R's?
Hold on... I think the article writer might have been a victim of poor phrasing. (Or maybe it was phrased this way to them to begin with and they misunderstood.)
Consider: Previously, the only digitally protected songs that the iPod would play were those that carry restrictions and were purchased from Apple's own iTunes music store. (MP3, etc would probably not be considered 'digitally protected'.)
If you think about it, the original sentence can be interpreted to mean the same thing as my reworked sentence... its problem was that it was ambiguous.
All I want is the shuffle option on the main menu. I was disappointed when I bought my 3g just a few weeks ago to find I could not configure that. There doesn't seem to be any technical reason they couldn't update the firmware to do that, other than they're a bunch of meanies and they expect me to pay $300 again or something.
The college I go to, a SUNY I won't bother naming, has both IE6 and Netscape 7 on every computer. Does that count? Probably not I guess...
I always found it interesting, and a tad odd, how at school I see almost as many people using Netscape as IE (especially adults like professors and my boss). I guess to some people, 'Netscape' still is synonymous with 'The Internet'.
And then there were people like my comp sci professor, who would use one IE one day and Netscape the next... that always grated on my nerves. I couldn't figure out if he didn't know the difference between them, or just didn't care, or what...
People generally start smoking because they like cigarettes, to my knowledge. I didn't say they weren't hazardous to your health, nor did I say Microsoft products were 'good for you' (although I'd be surprised if you made an argument they were actually unhealthy... although I suppose on Slashdot, anything goes...)
Also, MS Word can save as RTF and a variety of other formats, you know... it's up to you.
I've already seen a few posts like this in this thread, and I have to say... the mentality around here confuses me sometimes. If Microsoft products aren't any good, as is repeatedly said around here, then how could people get hooked on them...?
I'm not saying they are good or aren't good, I'm just saying... y'all don't make any sense:)
Yes but no. I also have Firefox with Adblock. Do a google for oh, say, linux, and look to the right. You still see sponsored links. That's because when the ads appear on Google itself, they are not in a separate iframe--Google has control over its own pages, so it can just server-side include them (or however they do it).
Whether or not PGP will work with gmail is another issue as well..
Disclaimer: I'm not actually bothered by gmail's policies either, just pointing stuff out
You know that RIAA notice on movies? The one that says 'protected by United States copyright law and international treaties'? And then they show the INTERPOL logo? Of which India is a member?
And why would the cable companies want to help Netflix out? They've got their own video-on-demand services to push. Netflix is just more competition...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the way the original DeCSS worked is that it included a key that was leaked from a (Russian? German?) DVD player manufacturer, and simply used that key to decrypt... anything.
Slashdot Mirror
Here, I've got your answer for you:
RTFA.
I hope this helps.

Spooky... that page has been removed. What did it say?
Yes it does.
1. Open Internet Explorer (or whatever your workplace mandates that y... nevermind.)
2. Go to http://www.bugmenot.com
3. ???
4. Profit!

Hi there,
Could you cite a source for that, please?
Thanks,

So they're guilty of advertising their products?
Those bastards!!
Wasn't this what Unix (and/or its predecessor, Multics) was designed for?
Nonsense. If your shower screen is unfoggy once, it will be unfoggy again. Then you won't be able to read it.

I guess IHBT, IHL, etc. I will HAND

WinXP Home.
Um... that's what the [x] small icons checkbox is for. They're the same size as they always were, depending on your setting.
Really? Where are they all going? Is there some sort of payphone-eating monster on the loose?
This post made me want to cry.

Yes, and here is a link to the eBay search. Oh, and this is the submitter's website. Oh, and why not this here, it's a link to this very story!
C'mon, if the parent deserves +3 informative, so do I!

Probably relates to this, too...

So like.. how do I use it? On Windows? Or is it linux-only?
I see a bunch of C++ source files, I'm assuming if I had the right compiler I could make something of them.. or not?
