I would have thought that if people wanted to escape technology, they would perhaps go to a park, read a book, pen-and-paper RP, do one of those sport things, or the like. Not play a video game using technology.
Go to Apple's site. Read specs on iPod.
Go to Apple store. Try out iPod.
Don't pester people on Slashdot about it when you have the same resources available we do.
Also, it's a good thing nothing like Napster or Kazaa has ever faced legal heat for facilitating illegal activity. Boy, that would just rip your flaccid argument apart!
Because I'm sure we all know that it would work out that well in the real world. Idiot. You can't possibly, given the current P2P precedent, hope to sanely compare a VCR to this. No, the device wouldn't be illegal. If you'd been able to read you would have seen that I was saying it opens up the user to tremendous liability. Unfortunately, your Slashdot "OMFG MY RIGHTS I DO WHAT I WHAT NEW TECHNOLOGY IS COOL OMFGLOL!!11one" alert clouded your mind.
Illegal content? Copyright infringement? All "without user participation," but I would say that since people can download from you on P2P apps, without active participation, you could draw a precedent from that to apply to this: having shared, copyrighted music on a device that allows (forces?) others to download it simply by being in your vicinity is clearly a violation.
Of course, the second this moves from simply audio to pictures and/or video, you could wind up with other illegal content (i.e. child porn) on your player, just by walking by someone with a similiar device who so-happens to be a pervert.
With all the OEMs that ship Norton or McAffee or whatever with their computers, I have to wonder how Microsoft is going to approach marketing this. I smell a deal with an OEM like Dell in the works, or at least imagine they are gunning for one.
Really, don't most major-brand PCs (Macs not included, but this isn't an issue related to Macs as I doubt MS will make antivirus for OS X) come with AV? And people who build their own, I would guess, are a bit less likely to buy *cough* a Microsoft AV.
"Once they're on your network, they can take their time attempting to hack into your computer and steal information," he said. "It's nearly impossible to find them, unless you see them sitting in their car outside."
Yes, it's so impossible to look out in front of one's house! Whatever will we do?
Really, I see how this can be a problem. But, that was possibly the worst way of detailing why it is one.
That's wrong. And I know because I have ATT Wireless GPRS service, which I use with my Bluetooth PDA and my Nokia 3650 for web browsing. It's extra per KB OVER your plan limit.
A "lot" of people don't do that. The overwhelming majority of people who have WiFi have no idea or comprehension of setting up free WiFi for others when they put it in their home. This is/. so you might not be so out of the oridinary here, but in the general populace such reasons for that config are not statistically significant.
I don't agree with that at all. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ running at well over what's considered 3200+, and no voltage core increase. A few good fans, and my temperature is about 107F right now.
Oh, and my uptime IN WINDOWS is about a month.
Less stable my ass. You're just not doing it right.
If you want to see the video at other speeds...stuff like VLC can change the speed a LITTLE on the fly...and any numbers of programs can let you tweak to heart's content.
I would like to know at what college this actually IS standard:

Maybe in high school, buddy. Not in college. At the good old University of Toledo, it's pretty much expected if you're caught once, you fail the class, and twice you're done. And it can be harsher depending on the case.

For one, half of those are OSes, not browswers. For two...well, IE is there. Not Firefox, Opera, etc. This just makes me wonder.
For me, it basically says that I am never alert. I did a 4am-9am sleep pattern, which is actually being on the generous side for me: I normally sleep more like 4 hours. I had bad insomnia for years, and just "got used to" sleeping little I suppose. Somewhere after 4-5 hours I will wake up without an alarm, and I won't be "exhausted" all day...In fact, sometimes I'm not tired by 4am, but get myself off to bed anyway.
Apaarently, this means that I am in fact never alert. I have to agree with other/.-ers who have cried "marketing scheme."

XVID 1.0 Released

If you're into anime fansubs of things that aren't in the US yet, you'd quickly see how. Anime-Kraze is subbing Chrno Crusade and Inu Yasha now, for example. They use XVid. When a new ep is released of those two, it's usually downloaded a couple thousand times on Bit Torrent alone, then spread over P2P thereafter.

Great idea here, people.
No, but I have plenty of friends (okay, only a handful, really) who live in rural areas that connect at such a rate. It's pretty typical in BFE.
Wait...for professional functions you have to pay for software, but, for the AVERAGE, NORMAL USER, free is fine? Who'd have thunk!

Just to remind you, the Mini is pretty far from absurdly priced. They start at around $500 (US).

This means there are countless more compatible apps. I would have thought that was obvious.

What are you talking about? I've never had iTunes lag on loading on a song even on the 1300 Duron I use at work.
Wait...you're not trying to listen to songs off of a floppy...are you?!?!
You commented on stability, uptime is the easiest measure of stability, I gave my uptime as the easiest measure of my stability.
Extra fans cost me maybe $40. The Silent Boost is also rather quiet, as are the 120MM fans that turn nice and slow and move lots of air.
And I suppose uptime doesn't matter if stability doesn't. But wasn't that the whole point?
I don't agree with that at all. I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ running at well over what's considered 3200+, and no voltage core increase. A few good fans, and my temperature is about 107F right now.

You do realize gmail invites aren't sent automatically, right?
They're called invites because a person who has gmail already--presumably a friend of yours--has to invite you.

We were talking about plagiarism. This is quite different than arriving late for a lecture, so I don't see your point.
At all.

The codec proliferates quite nicely like that.
I only wish I would have listened and not clicked the link...Even the venerable Firefox couldn't stop the onslaught.
