...cable companies already had to share their lines? Isn't this how I'm able to get Earthlink Cable in my area (Rochester, NY) through Time Warner? (Earthlink is actually a couple dollars cheaper for us than Road Runner, since we don't have cable TV...)
So... I was bored, and... wow. I feel like I've stumbled upon something mysterious and wonderful here. Our comments will be immortalised here in the 'lost thread'! How exciting!
Another thing to ponder is, why are we still allowed to post comments here?
Let history show that I came here on April Fool's day, to escape the lameness of what stories appeared on the front page on this day... ^_~

1. 20 fl oz (fluid ounces) is a measurement of volume, not weight. It is commonly (yet incorrectly) abbreviated to simply 'ounces' which is a unit of weight. One fluid ounce is the volume which an amount of pure water weighing one ounce takes up.
2. 20 fluid ounces = 1.25 pints = 591 mL (okay, I have a bottle next to me, I'm cheating)
The Grey Album is an art project/experiment that uses the full vocal content of Jay-Z's Black Album recorded over new beats and production
made using the Beatles White Album as the sole source material. Danger Mouse insists he can explain and prove that all the music
on the Grey Album can be traced back to the White Album and its musical content via sampling. Every kick, snare, and chord is taken
from the Beatles White Album and is in their original recording somwhere.
This Incredible re-interpretation will be one to look out for and will be made available worldwide around Feb/March of 2004. The resulting record is a unique hybrid of work from one of hip-hop's fastest rising production stars via two of the most important musical and cultural forces ever.
In an incredible year, Danger Mouse has already received
critical acclaim from his status as the Producer and DJ of the DM & Jemini duo. His work on their 'Ghetto Pop Life' debut showcased his enormous potential and 2004 will see
Danger Mouse involved in several further projects.
Both the Beatles own remix project ('Let It Be... Naked') and
Jay-Z's retirement Black Album are in stores now.
At the time of writing, neither Jay-Z nor The Beatles were available for comment.

Kind of OT, but does it annoy anyone else how people you hardly know ask 'how are you', in passing for example? I usually end up treating it as a standard greeting and replying only with 'hi'.
Well, geez, I could go on and tell you about what kind of day I've had... but you don't really know me, why would you care? Or I could reply with 'good', even if I'm not really good, but then what was the point of the whole thing? If you want to be polite/friendly, just smile and say 'hi'. That's really enough.
IE asks first if you'd like to install something. Don't click 'yes' unless you want to. Easy. IE also asks you first when a site wants to change your home page. Don't click 'yes' unless you want to.
Video games are not speech because they're kids' toys.
It doesn't matter that some have deep, thoughtful and/or mature/offensive content. It doesn't matter that the average age of a PlayStation 2 owner is 25 or so (citing from memory, might be off by a bit). It doesn't matter that we have a rating system and store policies in place to attempt to prevent preteens from buying Grand Theft Auto.
Kids shouldn't play GTA. And video games are for kids. Just ask the next 50-something you see.
That's what you're up against. Good luck convincing them otherwise.

Yes, you could... RTFS.
For each album, they provide a link to an installer containing bittorrent and that specific torrent file... but also, a link to the torrent only.
They explain it in pretty simple terms, but it might still be a little confusing for the uninformed..
Or was it the fact that one was made by Microsft?
And given that this is Slashdot, do I really even have to ask?

What kind of phone, PDA or laptop has a non-replaceable battery?
Just curious.

Why would you repurchase your CD's in lossy DRM when you can legally make MP3/Ogg Vorbis/FLAC/Whatever trendy-format-of-the-day out of them?
The phrase is 'box of rocks'. It's more funny that way because it rhymes. :)
My name is my only closing.

Guess I kind of rambled a bit there.
SUNY Brockport here, and the vending machines all have both Pepsi and Coke... in the SAME MACHINE. It creeps me out. Must be that crazy BASC at work.
No, not unless you click 'always trust content from...'
Actually, you could just avoid starting a message with 'begin ' in _all lowercase_, followed by _exactly two spaces_. Dork.

So much anger...
The movie doesn't start with that either... maybe it's in the end credits, though, I don't remember... anyone?
On my copy of McAfee, it was off by default.
So what you're saying is... you're communist? It's okay, don't mind them, they're just a bunch of insensitive clods.
Really. Go look!
Quick, let him know... now's his chance to get them for not having a legitimate web site!
Crap.
You have killed my dreams, again.
