The only business model a lot of people here seemed to support was AllofMP3, but honestly 10 cent non-DRMed songs really isn't a viable business model, as much as everyone wants it to be. Well the AllofMp3 guys seemed to make do, at least enough to afford legal fees. And Yah, I purchased music at AllofMp3 when they accepted my PayPal account. it is MUCH more convenient than finding music via p2p. Plus I was allowed to choose the bitrate of my choice. And they were nice enough to charge me relative to the bandwidth I used.
Sure seems like a lot of you guys couldn't stay focused enough to read and comprehend the entire text. I mean I didn't finish it either, but I don't claim to be perfectly sane either.
Must because more and more subbed anime is the only thing worth watching. Right now, on my paid for "digital" cable from TimeWarner, the only thing worth watching i some show on the Travel Channel about unusual McDonnals restaurants around the world. Damned if I had only thought ahead to download so anime ahead of time. Everything else that would have been worth while watching is reruns. The rest is just crap. So Comcast must just have figured that they would getter get more people to watch tv if there was less anime to watch.
Why in the world would the police want that? I'm sure the good cops might not mind it, but that police as a whole.... I don't see that getting through.
It is all well and good to discuss technical ways to escape such requests. But we need to move _towards_ not needing to encrypt your important data and not towards better ways to do the encryption. Ie. I prefer not to have to encrypt that perfect encryption.
Is there some deficiency in the military's current ability to kill people that I am not aware of? Or are they preparing to defend against extra terrestrial attacks? Isn't this the second military research story for week?
On a more serious note, how hard would it be (if they pissed off enough country's) to null route all their IPs at the core peering points? As easy as it would be to do so to the United State of America
Is it fair to translate this to mean they need more time to bump the polygon count? I also don't understand the statement about bringing it to more customers as it seems that less people have PS3s than any other.
It's my observation that people do not complain as much when they pay or at least appear to pay, for a piece of software such as Norton Anti-Virus on IE (comes with Windows). It could just be due to different demographics, but people seem to complain a lot more when the piece of software is freeware, or FOSS. So in this case, being Norton and Microsoft, I don't expect any complaints outside of 50% of Slashdotters.

Which of you p2p users don't pay your ISPs?
Really? Ignoring what I see here as irony... Was there any need to add formating to the comments? Why couldn't a plain .txt work?
That's not fair. They are going to edit it in Office 2007, so the entire layout is going to change.
+1 to that

Since when did the RIAA actually makes music?
How is losing jobs to outsourcing worse than losing jobs to patent law suits? I ask since no one mentions the lost jobs in these kind of cases.

I thought the courts are the one who decide who is and isn't a criminal? So unless they hand that decision down, they aren't protecting criminals.

Because NBC's content is so good it is worth the bandwidth to download it.
Are you sure they didn't use some Microsoft based speech engine?
Based on Xen.
Well you're actually getting two laptops and donating one. Let me know if you can do that on Black Friday for $400.
Did they contain copyrighted material? Were they placed there against the owner's will?
How do you folks intelligently and objectively choose between Python and Java? Or at this point is it a subjective decision?
What percentage of patent filers in the last few years were by inventors? 10%? Any intelligent guesses?

How some people treat everything "Google" as if it were special. It would be news worth *if* Google was beating local searches in foreign areas.
