I am an administrator and sometimes a developer. I must say that i really don't like java applets, and I kind of love Mozilla for taking java plugin support out of the browser as default. As long as this helps remove java plugins in the long run, i am all for it. And i really think Mozilla should have a big cudos from everyone, for taking the heat for this.
Slightly off-topic, but may I suggest that they install a serious fire-prevention system. If one of these robots caught fire, it could turn into an epic disaster...
Just out of curiosity; If there are actually anyone here on slashdot that supports SOPA, PIPA or any of those, what do you think? Speak up please. This could turn out to a very interesting thread
How many times now have similar bills died, only to be reintroduced under more and more bizarrely inaccurate names? Next time I suspect they'll call it the "Stop Online Pedophiles Act" and use the argument that it can be used to combat child predators. After all, you don't want to support pedophiles *DO YOU*?
I propose a law that mandates that laws introduced in the future can only be called by their official Congressional letter-number designation. I'm calling it the "Super-Patriot I-Love-America Act."
Well, frankly i see this as a loose-loose situation. Not only will these piracy laws cause problems for the consumers, but what will this really do to the pedophile-laws. Somehow i think this might also affect the way people look at pedophiles. Worst case scenario: "- So, i hear he was convicted for pedophily? -No, he just downloaded some movies, so i guess he is an OK fellow anyway...."
and by the way, stop messing with our internet. It does not belong to the "content"-industry, and their ways will inevitably fail if they do not pull their head out of the ground soon. Even if they finally get their head out of the ground at some point, thing about all the strange laws and agreements they have pushed into society that will still be there, causing all kinds of weird problems later on...
If the "content"-industry would finally give us what we want, i would gladly pay for it, but instead its bogged down with DRM, and locked to a single player or something else silly. Final product gives no advantage, but rather the opposite. I want to be able to play the content I have paid for on linux, on my mobile phone, on my tv, or wherever I can access it easiest when I want it. Right now, only piracy seems to give me that ability. I have stopped buying DVDs and music all together. That only takes up space. Spotify seems like it was on the right track, but lately it seems to have gone more in the wrong direction again. Stop whining; Use brain!
I have simply stopped considering buying games from the worst DRM'ers. EA is out. I was very curious about a few of their games, but due to their DRM i have simply settled with not playing their games.
I suggests scummvm (http://scummvm.org) Its an engine used in some old games, but some nice folks recreated and made it so it runs on modern computers and phones and whatever. Great to see some of these old games again:) Great fun:)
Guess i dont have to clean up my desk anymore. I'll just buy one of these magnetic tornadoes, and let it suck up every post-it and paperclip. Thats what i call physical storage...
Imagine flying a spaceship around it. If you tried pushing it around, it wouldn't move because of the inertia.
And imagine all the pranks you could do with it. Its way more cool than a milk carton filled with lead.
(Sorry for replying to my own comment, but i just couldn't stop myself:)

Ah, that depends on the resolution....
What is a "manual docking" anyway? Are they using paddles? Or maybe maneuvering by intertia provided by throwing wrenches around?
Catapult. Quick as hell...

Well, maybe the passengers should be required to remove the battery from their iphones and ipads in the future...

Some kind of vibrating anal probe, activated via bluetooth from your phone might work... Probably available on the internet somewhere
Whats the url? Sounds delicious!
Its a bit harsh to kill him, isn't it?
I just want to say thanks for all your good work! Live long and prosper, as they say :)

so this is not something done by MPAA or RIAA to prevent people from accessing thepiratebay? :P

> It's TradElect vs MarketPrizm, which happen to run on Windows vs Linux respectively. TradeNeglect?
The mail was eaten by my spamassassin...
Slightly off-topic, but I wish to buy one quantumdot. Where can i get that?
