if you're into that kind of "stuff", go to the east... hungary, romania, ukraine... hot women : CHECK... CHECK, CHECK... CHECK, CHECK, CHECK!...
aaaaaaa!... my neck hurts!
the italian ruling upon modchiops sounds too good to be true
The chips "avoid monopolistic positions and improve the possibilities for use of the PlayStation," according to the ruling, which described Sony's attempts to limit the uses of the PS2 as "absurd," pointing out that the console cannot play titles from other geographic regions or home-made software products.
The decision was focused on an interpretation of Italian law relating to a company's right to limit the use of its products once they have been sold, with the final conclusion being that "the product's owner can use it as they see fit".
"It's a little like Fiat marketing its cars while banning them from being driven by non-European citizens or outside towns," the court commented.
i really wanna send a sincere "YOUR HONOR" to this judge !
i played the game one time at the CeBit expo this year... but as the place was really crowded and loud, i had no ideea if i lost or win - i did not know if you win or loose when the ball comes to your place.. now i know - miserable failure
why did u peaople post this, i was such a happy winner for several months
Video on demand has been the "next big thing" for at least the last 10 years
VoIP has also been the next big thing for the last ~10 years... and this year is THE big thing!
Nobody seems to want video on demand, and nobody managed to create a market for it.
until last year ~nobody seemed to want to pay for downloading music... now there is iTunes
and the conclusion - the earth is round... and gates may or may not be right.. you just CAN'T DECIDE at this moment !
and btw, if movie studios decide to replace the DVD with somethin else, it'll dissapear in less than 10 years... how many VHS tapes did you buy lately?
It's "open source" in a way that most slashdotters have never imagined. It's kind of like having your whole computer run Emacs...gives us the power to control our computing environment...
sounds like the long awaited Slashdot Mesia has come.
Everywhere around me people are throwing out Windows, replacing it with Mac OS X or Linux. Internet Explorer is slowly losing market share. A general awareness of alternative platforms is beginning to progress.
when was last time you left your basement ?
or maybe you're just coming from that "Linux conquered the desktop" party ?
or maybe you already downloaded the new StarTrek ?
thats because Slashdot moderators are very compassionate with their fellow AC-s...
making moderation non-anonymous would be a nice feature.. although im pretty sure it'll be the start of ww3
btw, my quote is ~english, not jamaican like the original.. "with no users there's no cryin"...
"no woman no cry" seems to have a different meaning for marley.
most of the answers modereated up around here are only wishful thinking.. people just love to fool themselves into "firefox is safer", no matter what...lets see some samples
-- Still, I feel safer using Firefox since malicious persons are much more unlikely to target any vulnerabilites. i wont bet a single cent on that... plus this is like saying : i know i eat approximately the same shit as the other party, but im way better because mine gets no attention.
-- This incident underscores why many use or have switched to Firefox: vulnerabilities discovered and promptly fixed. Not weeks and months from their publication--and not by another vendor--this exploit was addressed by those who have made available Mozilla's code for public scrutiny. as Microsoft demonstrated in maaaaaaany occasions, IT DOES NOT MATTER how fast you release the patch.
-- This isn't really a fix for a security problem in Mozilla, it's a workaround for a security problem in windows. it may be so.. but it sounds like : i live in an appartment building and its administrator's fault that any burglar can break into my appartment bare handed... so easy to blame "the other guy"
and so on.. and so on.
going mainstream was not exactly benefic to firefox... i use it since the first version and this week i got the first pop-up and pop-under windows that somehow managed to slip through firefox' block mechanism... and now this embarrasing flaw.. sadly, it seems that going mainstream its enough to evaporate the "security" of ANY application.
Maybe it's just that British humor doesn't appeal to me.(But I used to LOVE Benny Hill)
those are completely different types of humor... while the circus-clown like humor of Benny Hill exercises your face and stomac muscles, watching a Monthy Python movie could be an exhausting but quite rewarding activity for your brain.. i find them both appealing and high-quality
i'm very sorry to note you are totally hopeless for what i consider the best parts of human mind - abstractisation and perspective... there's absolutely no trace of them in your thinking!
... only strong and emotionally-"biased" ideeas... anyway, good luck!
I understand perfectly well what exactly the UN is for.
no you dont!!!
and u still don get it.. if it's bad it has to be repaired, not destroyed!!!
following your logic, may i ask why dont u americans get rid of your whole legal sistem ? after all, there are tens(hundreds?thousands?) of corrupt judges and the lawyers basically rob everybody!?!?!?!
Sudan, a country with a history of persecuting, torturing and massacres within its own borders and supported by the government, was voted into the U.N. Human Rights Committee...
this only proves my point.. some people just don' understand what UN is!
UN is first and foremost AN IDEEA - an ideea of worldwide unity, collaboration, peace, prosperity and so on... SOME of its actions may be good and SOME may be bad - its an organization of human beings after all!
to make it easy for you americans - saying "all of UN is bad" and "lets get rid of UN" because of some unfortunate incident, is like saying "all movies are crap" and "lets get rid of hollywood" because of Gigli... or like saying "Operating Systems are a bad ideea" because of Windows95.

(just in case you were counting on me)
how it works ... IN JAPAN

could it be that the default keys are all 1 bit ? ... for users convenience of course.

adblock extension does all that and much more
this one may have been better

O--O

O-O
it's also a bi-pedal !
yeah dudes, sell it !!! .. its useless anyway
i guess Registers' readers live in an alternative world .. only there 0,01% of the population means "everyone".
and anyway, >90% of the population knows about pickpockets and still got fooled at least once ... myself included :(
please stop bashing the 419 scammers .. the poor guys have enough problems already
alternative translation for your post : "get karma or die tryin"
or, ooops!
/. faq quote : "being moderated funny doesn't help your karma. You have to be smart, not just a smart-ass."
btw, my quote is ~english, not jamaican like the original .. "with no users there's no cryin"...
"no woman no cry" seems to have a different meaning for marley.
i also fully agree with the good old "no user, no cry" .. and i hope bob marley's producer does not have a copyright on that
it may be fun but its definitely not "fun reasearch" ... giant telecoms just dont do that kind of thing
