Probably involves something about blocking the port for incoming connections on your firewall...
It seems to me like this would be a problem... Nobody is going to want to give away their bandwidth to Viacom. I suspect the hack to prevent uploading will be swift.
Actually a lot of people hated The SIMS, myself included. But even if they hadn't, the game was made, and made by a competitor, so the slot for "that video game plot" was "used up". There isn't enough room in the market place for non-covariant repetition.
What about the 5,000 or so knockoffs of Wolfenstein 3D?
The article says yes. Of course, low temperature fusion is already old hat anyway (Farnsworth Fusor.) The article doesn't say whether the reaction produces more energy than it consumes, which is what would make it interesting.
I'd think it would work the opposite way. Say you hear someone playing a song. If the song were free to be copied, you could just get a copy of the song from the person playing it. If the song has DRM, you have to get it off a P2P network. Then, all of the band's other songs show up in your search. So, if you might have bought the album in the first case, you already have their entire catalog in the second. As to the drug dealer analogy, it's the difference between allowing pot to be sold legally, versus having people buying pot from drug dealers that also sell crack. Allowing person-to-person transfers of tracks in this way keeps them from having to go to the P2P networks in the first place.
Maybe Apple's contract with the Big Four prevents them from selling DRM-free music? I wouldn't be surprised, since it takes away a big selling point for smaller labels.

Yeah, but your lift ticket doesn't cover the cost of all the treatment you'll need after the ski patrol scrapes you off the hill.
Besides, taxing cigarettes doesn't offset the cost of lung cancer treatment, at least in a private healthcare system like the USA.
You can always bring incandescent lights from home to use at work. It's what I did.
Yeah, and just check out those glowing reviews on the amazon link.
All the reviews seem to say they suck pretty horribly. They buzz loudly and can only be dimmed a bit before going out completely.

So, my daily diet of fried chicken and beefaroni is responsible for me being somewhat social lately? People just said it was bad for me.

I'm personally offended by the way white people are portrayed in GTA1-3, Vice City, and Liberty City Stories.

Yeah, I really regretted getting a Mac for about two months after I got it. Then, I regretted having gotten PC's before.

I like the slashdot way, where there are ads, but you can turn them off by paying directly.
Advertisers are the customers. Viewers are the product.
Yeah, I was surprised. Apparently, all the sites are different.
It's ineffective against piracy because I've never seen anything available on iTMS unavailable on eMule.

Then why did they buy an ipod to begin with?
I don't know if it counts, but NPR shows are in mp3.
Yeah, it also has a 160x128 LCD, 30GB, and costs more an 80GB 320x200 ipod. Awesome.
If they start selling music in 192kbps, it'll basically be admitting that 128kbps wasn't good enough.
Then again, if IBM had used the same strategy as Steve Jobs when it brought out the IBM PC, you'd never even have heard of Bill Gates.
A lot of people who play games are people who aren't old enough to have jobs to buy them. Then, they get jobs, and buy games.
Floppy disks don't have partitions. I assume you'd have to format the raw device with FAT12.
Wouldn't it work better to just pirate everything that has DRM, and buy the stuff that doesn't?
Yeah, and most of the buildings at Kodak are empty now, anyway.
