The ISPs are hitting internet radio too with their monthly bandwidth quotas. Once you start to pile up usage, every bit counts:
31 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds * 128 kbps (16000 bytes) = 42854400000 bytes per month. That's nearly 40 GiB of data, only for radio.
Even if you get real and cut it back to working hours and assume 8 hours of radio per day on weekends, that's still a whopping 13.3 GiB of data only for radio.
I've never heard of such a thing ever happening either. In fact, if I remember correctly, I can't even re-download a song I paid for on iTunes (i.e. I can't use the iTunes Store as a personal, last-hope emergency backup, even though they keep a list of what I have already bought).
They keep telling us we're buying a license to listen/view the content they are selling to us.
But then they try to lock it down to the actual media.
If I pay for the content, let me rip it so I can use it on my own hardware, the way I see fit (MPAA/RIAA calm down, that doesn't include giving away nor selling copies to others). Also, why do I have to pay full price to get a replacement CD/DVD, my content license has already been paid.
Slashdot, tired of being one-upped by Digg, resorts to crappier and crappier headlines about "hardware wars", "Apple Products Killers" and "Apple is dying" even though they have 5 billion dollars in the bank.

Just because we think we understand something doesn't mean we understand all of it.
Over the years I've seen "scientific truths" being modified or becoming more complex, such as radioactive materials being harmful to humans (see: clip of Walt Disney holding a radioactive rock, bare handed with no protection), atoms being more than only proton + neutrons + electrons (i.e. the addition of quarks). Same goes for DNA (just last week, something about "trash DNA" not being trash after all?), etc.
These tests are being done to learn something, which means there's things we don't know. Therefore it's not stupid to think that it's possible something could go horribly wrong.
Scientists must always question their testing methods and their results.

What, no good?
Nice reply. :)
Qu'est-ce qu'il dit?
Well, if it can run on souls it means it will also lower my electricity bill.
Pentium 1 user, aren't you?
Weird indeed (iMac page is there for the Canadian website, and the UK Mac mini is also present).
Somebody's gonna get in trouble real soon now(TM).
I'm betting new Mac Pros will be launched today.
That's why well-designed software should have good default settings and an "advanced settings" tab/panel/whatever.
Send out a probe.
Very good. We shall use my largest scale.
That's completely insane. First they should test wether they can build a bridge out of her.
Making something easier to use doesn't mean dumbing it down.
They can't afford to pay SCO 1998$ every day.
You just repeated my last sentence. :P

Film at 11.
I have a home business. So, for safety, I always keep one copy of my data at work and one at the office.
Oh wait.
Also, "rouge" means "red" in french (doesn't need to be make-up).
ex: "une voiture rouge" (a red car)
What's a red admin?
I still don't understand why everyone keeps saying the rogue device is red.
I'd think that a red device would be easy to spot in a server room.
Forgot the obligatory YouTube link (quote above is at 2m10s).
