Doesn't matter if it's carved into a brick of lead weighing 4 tons and can only be read by a half blind midget who is kept locked in a dungeon under the guard of five dragons.
The brick being stolen is a security breach, and the information that was carved into it is now to be considered 'out in the open.'
I used to have Adelphia during the whole "lol stealing" problems they had and I loved it. The speeds I got were 2x the advertised simply because the techs were looking for jobs instead of doing their current ones. Now we have Time Warner and Road Runner and while the speed is the same we're paying $30/mo more for it.
Reno 911 is a hilarious show and UCB was even better. I like MST3k a whole lot (every single episode downloaded and watched over and over), but with that show it's more than just ratings. The licensing issue with the movies was a big deal with CC and the reason SciFi finally called it quits.
I don't know about you but when I vomit it feels like I've been beaten in the gut with a baseball bat. Plus it usually causes my ulcer to flare up and gives me a bloody nose.
Yeah, that's a nice thing to do. And knowing how tasers are used now something like a 'sick stick' would be used whenever the cop felt like it.
So if I burn a CD, print up a copy of the album art, put that on the CD with a sticker, print a copy of the little booklet and stick it in a jewel case (total cost:.15 tops) you'll pay $5. But if I just burn the CD, write "QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE" in sharpie on it you wouldn't pay $.50 for it?
And even if the one you buy for $5 is legit there's a huge chance that it's stolen.
Good thing you're not a lawyer because you're wrong.
TPB doesn't make copies of anything. They host.torrent files. That's it. You can use the torrent file to get pirated material, sure, but you're not downloading the actual files from TPB.
If vampires only bit humans we'd notice a huge surge in people wanting to work night-shifts. One vampire makes one a night, now there are two, they make one each.. and on on. We'd all be vampires. So it's obvious that vampires are real and only drink animal blood. Duh. Why do you think so many species are becoming endangered now?
"Want me to write something like this holding up K-Fed's song "PopoZão" as an intelligent bit of verse, in the vein of, say, Lindsay's "Congo"? I can. It won't be true, but it'll sound as good as this crap."

We don't need to build huts, we've got CAVES! Actually, we don't even need the caves, we've got trees! Hell, why even leave the oceans, we've got WATER!
Back when I was just a lad we had a Windows 95 "powerhouse" and it had a card making software package, I remember how impressed my aunts and grandmother were that the cards said "Made by *my name*" on the back.
"or someone gets stuck in the elevator in a building and has a severe asthma attack."
Yeah, because elevators don't have phones in them to.. wait, they DO?
And you forget that businesses have these new things called "land lines" that allow calls to be made even when your cell phone gets no service! It's revolutionary.
Yeah, too bad they tore up those emergency call boxes and nobody knows basic life saving technique.
Wait, hold on. They DIDN'T tear up the emergency call boxes? And they teach kids what to do if someone is choking in grade school? Well, crap. Looks like you're a fucking moron.
Well, I figure if you're a 10 year old with a bad heart you won't know that your chest hurts, so you need someone who is nowhere near you to tell you that you don't feel well and should get to the hospital.
Your state may vary, but it's legal to go up to 15MPH over the limit while passing someone where I live.
If you're going under the limit in the passing lane you can be pulled over by the troopers. If you want to enforce the speed laws, become a police officer. Else, GTFO of the way and let me deal with the consequences of my choice of speed.

Why would they want to talk to us? Because we're here.
Check the user page of suntory. He hasn't commented on /. since 2004.
Yes, and that was the thinking behind the Concorde.

Security through obscurity? Get real.
The problem is that 'bricking' doesn't mean "You have to fix the OS install" or "you're able to correct the problem."t
Why do you have crap in your eyes? Even in the name of science, that's gross.
"Yeah, it would be nice to through a "; is it" in the place of that comma." Clippy says: "Did you mean 'throw'?"

Had to butt in here to correct you.
It's not illegal to download the file. It's illegal to upload it.

Slashdot is a blog not a news source. I wish more people would realize that.

I'd actually like to see that.

Won't someone think of the socially awkward scrapers!
How's a jammer going to kill hundreds of people?

Is a land-line telephone available? If so, use it. If not, that is the point at which the law needs to become involved.
