The main problem with BitTorrent is that files are loaded from the beginning of the file to the end of the file.
Completely untrue. This is not how BitTorrent works at all. In fact, if you use a client that graphically shows how the bits are being downloaded, such as "Bits on Wheels" for Mac OS X, you see exactly which segments of the files are being downloaded.
I disagree, All video games *are* murder simulators. Every time I play Tetris, I just wanna go out and pop a cap in someone's ass, muthaf*&#ah!
And Super Mario Kart makes me violent towards women, too.
An analogy which compares the violation of one to the violation of the other will always be inherently flawed.
According to the US Copyright Office at http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#wwp:
Copyright protects "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. The fixation need not be directly perceptible so long as it may be communicated with the aid of a machine or device. Copyrightable works include the following categories:
1. literary works;
2. musical works, including any accompanying words
3. dramatic works, including any accompanying music
4. pantomimes and choreographic works
5. pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
6. motion pictures and other audiovisual works
7. sound recordings
8. architectural works
Since silence is not music, it is not protected by #2. Since silence is, by definition, the absence of sound, it cannot be a "sound recording", and therefore cannot be protected by #7.
It's easy to browse what's new from 5 different pages if the sites have RSS feeds. Get yourself a good feedreader and you'll save yourself some time.:)
Perhaps my tinfoil hat is showing, but it could be a plot to slashdot these rumor sites. Think about it:
With no webcast, no in-store simulcast, apple geeks will have to get their live coverage from the many rumor sites that will be getting minute by minute reporting via text messages from the floor of the keynote. This extra bandwidth is sure to overwhelm those poor rumor site servers.

Samsung's NDP warrantee is for South Korea only. For US customers, they consider up to 6 bad pixels on a 15" monitor "acceptable"
Next time you're out of state and pay sales tax, does that mean you should get to vote there, too?
No. If you live in or work in New York, you must pay New York taxes.

Shouldn't you be in court, Mr. Jackson?
Hey, that's what my ex-girlfriend used to call me...

Sounds like they OU an apology... ;)

What with the all-too-often story reposts, the real question is "since when did Slashdot become old Slashdot stories?"
Screw that, I wanna print out some more beer!
This unspecified commercial software doesn't happen to have an innocuous looking "pi" symbol in the lower corner, does it?
"And you: friendless, brainless, helpless, hopeless. Do you want me to send you back to where you were, unemployed . . . in Greenland?"

Just a theory...
Oops! Wrong Indians.
Being from America, and having gone through the public school system, I simply assumed that Manitoba was in India... Ain't it?
You might as well just use X's TextEdit. Especially on laptops, it doesn't drain the battery nearly as much as either AW or MW.

Q-Eighty-Eight sounds a bit like "You Idiot"... perhaps that's the joke that's going over our heads?
There *is* a downloadable software solution to popups. It's called Firefox. You must not get the New York Times... ;)
