If anyone has not seen the documentary, "Trekkies". You must see it. It is amazing. The people, the culture of trekkies is astounding. I mean, I was laughing the whole way through the documentary, although I still respect Trekkies. But..learning the Klingon language? I guess it's no different than learning French or Spanish anymore, eh?
For $30 a disc, there's no point for most consumers to buy, since most people would just want to copy their friend's collection of Kubrick films. It would just be cheaper to buy them, and you'd get the cool case.
If you are doing DV editing or other personal stuff and need storage(4.7 gigs) for your movies , this is good news. Although, this is not a PC ROM, so I guess you couldnt burn from your PC.
There's not alot Microsoft can do to make you guys remove "comments" from other people. Comments are just a way of communication. If people were talking about Kerberos in a cafe, Microsoft wouldnt ask them to be quiet(or would they? hehe). The only difference is that these conversations are logged so people can still read them. If microsoft won, and slashdot removed the comments, that would be going against the freedom to speak and think. I do not understand how they can do this, since slashdot is not responsible for any of the readers' actions.
This is somewhat old news...I remember my Biology teacher talking to us about this. Evidently, the company also wants to patent the genome sequence (raises lots of arguments...I mean how can you patent genes?). Popular Science magazine had a wee article on this i think last month.
I do not understand what the good in Lars Ulrich delivering over 335,000 'usernames' to Napster's office for banning. If the users are banned, they'll re signup. It's not like they can IP ban alot of the users also, for most of them come from ISP's like AOL, or other dialup services where your IP is not static. Metallica should think about things first....and has anyone ever noticed how cheesy they look in all their pictures at Metallica.com?
Sueing users directly will not solve any problem. A few users might be sued, but there will still be 100 more users ripping cd's and encoding them.
If technology progresses it is up to the Music Industry to answer. It is up to them to find a solution. However, it is a difficult situation. The film industry is fine. They rely on theaters for all their profit. Video copying is age old, and does not affect their industry..much.
Still, my point stands. If technology progresses, it is up to the music industry to answer, not sue; for progress never dies.
All you BeOS junkies with nice systems: What's a great system to run BeOS on? what kind of processor/vid card/sound card/do you use? I've been wanting to set up a box in my room for quite a while now. Im just now getting around to it. I think....but if you could help me on where to buy from, that'd be much appreciated.
Rediculous. It's the goddamn programs like this that fuck up America. Let's "rat" on kids for being depressed, or saying stupid emotional crap when they're down, or high. Has anyone ever thought that maybe the American school system sucks. Has anyone ever thought that maybe school should be re-thought. We're schooling kids on a system that was institutionalized in 1776 [well...way before then]. Bleh.
You're rewarding kids for telling on their friends, classmates they dont know. Have you thought about how many prank calls you might get? Probably, about %50 will be phony calls from kids who think this is rediculous. Well...I'm tired now, need to go to sleep. Then I can get up and go to school! Hooray! I'll be sure to watch out for any sad people, or for any geeks who surf the net and who think. I'll be sure to give you guys a call so you can....do what about it? People will call....So what.....the WAVE team will come rescue the school? WTF?
This has nothing to do with OpenSRS, but...I see posts all the time that i like and that would be VERY useful to me, but dont have time to save them, or to write them down. I think it would be a great idea if you could save posts to a personal 'folder' or 'profile' so you can come back to them. Anyone else?
Does this mean that all the stories for NYT will soon become a joke?! Instead of a headline like "Woman Doomed To Years Of Hippo-Themed Gifts " and "Phish Collapses Onstage"? This is some goofy news.
Yesss! Is there also a 'Linux' pictorial included? Maybe some nude kernels and some good headshots of the shell. Welp...I cant wait to check out this one.....linux nudies....mmmmmmmmm
What's all the hype about PlayStation II anyways? I think I'd rather invest in a good GeForce 256 for Gaming needs.(note there are no X drivers for it:| ) But for gaming it would do well. Is the PSII 128 bit?
Why would "Best kernel module" only refer to the "Best linux kernel module" anyways? Slashdot doesnt support just Linux. I would say "Best kernel module" means just what it says, and can include modules for the linux kernel.

FreeBSD is ten times more secure than Linux...and the best part is the cute Daemon(probably why they chose it over Linux...the daemon..)!

Can anyone else enlighten us?

I also came across the MPEG4, Web3D collaboration 'movement'. Check it out here
For all of you who are confused about MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group), check here .

VHS = analog
D-VHS = digital
now, what?
I feel dumb.
I wonder how many other calculations and theories could be proved wrong that are belived to be true. Interesting though.
Hey! It's all computers faults! Sue the computers!

The best had to be when they turned it into R2D2..those damn geeks.

Wave Three is the next generation. Deep stuff huh?

Phew,
Looks like i just missed the boat, thanks to my clever disguise, yeti@home wont be able to pick me up. (hence the name)
Just make a simple program that you run that displays your book on perl :)
