I stopped reading the article and went in search of the Vudu distro, only to come back to it 10 minutes later to continue reading and realize it was made by germans in jamaca
What changed so much to make Dan Gillmor change his mind?
I don't see anything that has changed so much on the linux desktop that would make me reconsider anything,
And for the packages, you should realy try Gentoo...
Emerge rocks!:) _VERY_ easy, all gentoo needs is a newbie gui to browse/install packages and i think it could realy be the perfect solution for pre-installed linux systems

You wouldn't deny a chihauhau a place among dogs because it is too small
I consider it an ugly rat. anyways:P
there has to be a planet/not-a-planet line drawn somewhere. I wonder who is going to take the time to think up names for all those 'planets' in the astroid belt
but if some site doesn't welcome the traffic, it's it their perogative to block
exactly. and it wouldent be a bad idea to do that now that they are on slashdot
why is this even an article under 'your rights online'? it sounds like this company is flexing their right to control what traffic they receve, not denying others of their rights
besides, sites that are so paranoid about making sure their readers see the ads usualy die out or just never become popular
this happened to a website i had, but the idiots that ripped the site forgot to copy the stylesheet and left it linked to ours, so the next day their site was pink and purple, and a home for gay pride
that only applys if you would have bought the cd/dvd/vhs if you couldent download it. The music i download without paying for, is music that i NEVER would have payed for
they are not loosing out on money they otherwize would have receved
I bought my DVDs, i bought a sony DVD-ROM, but im still breaking the law by watching DVDs on my computer, because im bypassing the digital protections (CSS)
It would be interesting to see the mechanic stick a "Do Not Remove" sticker across your rims, and if you remove it to service the car yourself, you break the law
Music IS free now.
the RIAA get payed off from the taxes from CDRs and 'Internet Tax' thats now in i think 20 US states.
Its the whole reason its there... to "compensate" the "artists". Download away! you already payed for it when you bought the CDR 50-pack
If i download music, i will ether eventualy buy it within the next few weeks, or i never would have bought it, even if i dident/couldent download it.
P2P lets me see what the music is like, and discover new artists.
If i download something and never buy it, its because
1) it was crap (and i usualy delete the crap)
2) only liked a couple tracks
3) the album has a RIAA label on it
that is completly disgusting.
Its things like that nissan shit that just proove that there is no freedom left in the USA.
I wonder if i make Slashdot Food Corp, if i can get a court to force slashdot.org to remove all commertial advertizing...
I just wish people would stop bitching and put the companys that pull this shit off out of buisness.
Dont like them? dont buy ANY of their products, they will fade away and their 'Ideas' will be free once again
who in the right mind could possibly want their name beside SCO's...
And with all the bullshit SCO has already handed out, look at what the new owners would have to clean up...
On one hand, RIAA/MPAA... on the other, SCO...
Maybe they will kill eachother in a blaze of blood! SCO could provide the gangster tools, Hollywood could provide the cameras, now all we need is Tarantino to direct it.

i wonder if the riaa will use that 12 year old's money to pay off the nz government so its not passed

thats actualy prety scary.
I wonder how many other court cases have been thrown like that, to set policy
i want a goatse cottage

Who cares? all those viacom channels blow anyways, nothing but money sucking stations that want to fill your house with *NOW available in GREEN!*
Give me my dollar a month back, instead please
and Off Topic: about this damn GNAA crap, who cares, take it back to IRC, where it came from

so i guess china will have to do without their xfree86
a top search engine, from a country that insists on censoring the internet? HAH!

Slashdot: The worlds only legal DDoS network.
Ignorance is bliss, but only for the ignorant
This page says that "SCO Clears Linux Kernel but Implicates Red Hat and SuSE"... so why is it g oing after linux users in general?
who in the right mind could possibly want their name beside SCO's...
And with all the bullshit SCO has already handed out, look at what the new owners would have to clean up...

you could also use the AdBlock Extension to block *.swf
