What with this rash of 'flying idiot' posts? We have those already they're called pilots. I'm sure lots of people had the same paranoid complaints when flight became affordable. I'm sure the FAA won't let you waltz up to one of these things and go to the mall, you'll have to go get a pilot's license. Nor do I think the FAA will let you land in your backyard or fly through metropolitan areas at low altitude just because you can. Expect to drive to the local airport to fire it up and land in another airport when you're in civilization.
The only thing revolutionary I see about these things is for military applications and sport flying, not your work commute.
Why is CC picking up stuff like this, is the Sci-Fi channel too busy showing softcore wanna be's like Lexx? Other than Sci-Fi's recent exposure series and that psychic guy (i love watching CSICOP disciples go into conniptions over him) that channel has been a magnificent failure and hopefully will go out of business and replaced with something interesting like that proposed anime/martial arts channel.
Long after I've gone to bed the bar code scanner and the mouse will engage in the eternal predator-prey stuggle, running around my shark fin shaped cable modem until they've both tied themselves up with their own cables. I'll wake up and groggily ask my roommates, "Okay who's been fucking with the computer?"
Stephenson's Batman sounds exactly as impressive as Stephen King's Whatever. Books are movies are two very different beasts. What does Neal know about production? He's not some white knight that will somehow use his literary skills to magically create a great movie. We've seen big names attached to movies before with lackluster results.
The missing photo caption on the working page is, "and this distance represents the time it will take before these things go completely apeshit on us."
You'd think with all the time and effort they've put in they could have come up with a better name than "Space Broom." Sounds like a badly translated anime Villian.
If you've seen the early episodes written by Matt you'll be glad he isn't around. Its not that he's a terrible hack, but the magic of the Simpsons was more or less developed by Fox with their assortment of really talented comedy writers. Remember Matt's Homer Simpson? The stern father? That's not the Homer you've fallen in love with, you love the Jerkass Homer.
Like all television The Simpsons is a huge production, lots of people and lots of work. Matt certainly is the creator but it wouldn't be fair to call him the author. He's a great figurehead, but the less influence he has the better. I'd much rather see Conan attached to this than Matt.
How is the parent post a troll? That's BS, a dissenting opinion isn't neccesarily a troll nor is that post redundant when you consider how early it was posted.
Okay I'm replying to an obvious troll, but he makes a great overlooked point. The only people, currently, who can afford to pull off non-traditional economic models are those who have benefited most from the old one. Prince and Stephen King are as big as you can get, they could literally get away with any wacky pay-me-if-you-like model off their celebrity alone.
These two have recieved more than their fair share of marketing and promotion from the companies their complaining about. I don't see them as hypocrites, but as exceptions. What we don't need is advice from famous rock-stars and pop-authors, but a real distribution system that works to not only deliver content, but promote talented nobodies without turning them into media stars. Just think of all the wasted time you spent on the last crappy King novel when you could be reading something great from a nobody you currently have no access hearing about.
Lets see, its very ad-heavy, their NT servers are incredibly slow, they started putting ad-hyperlinks into user messages long before deja, and put keen.com sig files into every post. Sometimes "free" just isn't worth it, I hope the industry learned a little something from these people.
Why are we clamoring about software solutions, how about just putting in a policy that porn surfing isn't allowed and doing the occasional shoulder surf to make sure everone is following the rules. When the kiddies watch one or two kids get kicked out and lose access permantently for violating policy they'll be intimidated to follow the rules. This works great for government. Eventually they'll learn the porn is best appreciated in private.
King's popularity is mostly a function of his career with big-publishing and especially their marketing department. He can get away with the dollar a chapter deal because he's a big name. I really don't think nobodies, talented or otherwise, could pull off the same trick.
I read Love's speech and I don't find it at all convincing, sure whoever wrote it made some interesting points, but I'm skeptical about rock stars talking about backend code and VC's. Love also bitches about digital music, not just MP3s, yet only a couple of Hole releases are available on vinyl.
Hole is a mainstream alterna-girl band, backed by a big record company and is marketed as being "rebellious." Its their job to keep stirring the pot. To keep teenagers paying $18 a cd to listen music that does its best to diss the "man", while very obviously and ironically lining the the pockets of big business.
I'm sure anyone in the music industry has critical opinions about the way things are running, but its one thing to express your opinion and another to have an insincere, carefully worded speech perfectly suited for internet distribution to keep the kiddies convinced that though Love's been in many mainstream movies and a media gatabout, she's still queen of the subculture.
I don't think people reflect on their own accomplishments as much as they are saddened because one of their media stars is no longer and we cannot gossip, complain, worship, and live vicariously through them. I find it hard to believe that "My life has been wasted" will ever follow someone saying "Obi-Wan died dude."
I don't think its possible to mourn someone you've never personally met, your really mourning characters or what you think Alec would be like.
I don't see how 14 years can be reasonable, lets say I just finish my book this year and it sells pretty badly. After 15 more years of writing, one of my books breaks through to the mainstream and there's suddenly a large community of people willing to pay to read my old stuff which is suddenly considered gold, don't laugh this happen a lot to sci-fi authors, look at Vonnegut's career.
Now the book I wrote in 2000 isn't mine but is public domain so anyone publishing company can take my book word for word and sell it to whomever. Exactly who are we protecting here? Sounds like it just gives publishers the ability to make money off work without paying the author.
Some might say there should be a difference between corporate copyrights and artist copyrights. I don't, why should I lose my rights just because I wanted to go into business myself. I need corporate limited liability to protect my personal assets if my business goes into the toilet.
I find 70 years to be pretty reasonable, it'll cover my lifespan and if I happen to die early my family will recieve my royalties.
Back to the original topic, sure SEGA isn't losing a dime from old genesis ROM swapping, but I don't want to lose my personal copyrights within my lifetime because some video game brats are too cheap to run to the flea market and pay 5 cents a copy for Altered Beast and Phanstasy Star.
I'd love to see the lawsuit SEGA would bring on swappers, "The street value for each game is about a nickel, you are ordered to pay SEGA.50 cents, case closed." The only reason SEGA isn't still selling these games is because the profit margin is so low.
First off they didn't replace evolution with creationism, they gave school districts the right to choose to teach it or not and removed it from state testing standards. I believe they also pulled the terminology too. No, I don't think that's right, in fact I think its very wrong and there is a not-so hidden fundamentalist agenda here but lets not boil this down to the typical hackneyed science vs. religion rhetoric.
What is going on here is political activism vs. political apathy. These fundamentalists were organized and spent *years* getting into the school board to change policy. The same way any special interest group can gain some power, whether you agree with their politics or not.
The lesson learned here is that small municipal and state elections serve an important purpose and can have a very powerful effect on society. Its your job to keep an eye on your politicians, see what happens when you don't?
The CSICOP-style paranoia that the world is under attack by religious people is about as believable as most conspiracy theories. There are people both religious and secular who will do their best to push their agendas when you're not looking. People do it all the time, we just get angry when the resulting legislation isn't to our liking.
. Religion, the crutch that it is, has no place in public life, mine or anyone elses.
I strongly disagree with this, we have very public laws and traditions to regulate non-profits like Churches and Mosques. Not to mention put limits on what some brands of religious philosphy dictate (xtian scientists, animal sacrifice etc).
Personally, I don't like the reactionary tone of your post as I'd rather make my own decisions based on open-discourse and freedom of information than being force fed "facts" from either fundies or hard-core materialists, both calling for the censorship of the other.
If you want smart kids teach them the history and philosophy of science and religion and let them make decisions on their own, not just reciting whatever party-line you most agree with.

Here's a not so new idea, why do we keep feeding these corporate trolls? Someone with lots of bandwidth could put an ad free version of the story up and the story submitters could update the story with 'mirror sites.' We could have competitions for first mirror instead of lame first posters. Could happen.
Or just post the thing on deja and post the link, I'd much rather load deja ads.
Not that most slashdotters load ads in the first place, ad blocking files (mail me if you want mine) and junkbuster help.

Robots? These are RC cars from the mad max movies. I'm sure its lots of *yawn* fun to watch.

Everytime someone badmouths Linux its a feature here, while lots of interesting stuff is ignored. How about the new ISS module Progres s?

Here's a not so new idea, why do we keep feeding these corporate trolls? Someone with lots of bandwidth could put an ad free version of the story up and the story submitters could update the story with 'mirror sites.' We could have competitions for first mirror instead of lame first posters. Could happen.
Or just post the thing on deja and post the link, I'd much rather load deja ads.
Not that most slashdotters load ads in the first place, ad blocking files (mail me if you want mine) and junkbuster help.
