As a remixer/producer myself, I know a little about this...
Remixing in the U.S. is complicated; perhaps moreso than sampling. If a record label pays you to do a remix, then you obviously don't have to pay any royalties on it. The problem is that labels won't generally let you release a remix unless you own rights to do so. Which is expensive. If you release a remix for free(on the internet for instance), and you do not own the liscence, you can still get in trouble because it's still enough to constitute infringement/piracy.
You know, I was reading the table, and it came to me, that based on one's level of expertise, a video card may or may not talk back during installation. It probably wouldn't make noise, but I guarantee it would piss you off when it did talk back.
This story is the product of what we in the journalism industry call a "slow news day".
But seriously, what I think the article is hinting towards(although masks it through mountains of hype) is that there is a lot of undiscovered talent in the world - across industries. These people are like the underdogs now, but with help from middle to upper management, can bring their new ideas to life. So let's not jump to conclusions about who is and isn't going to shape society, hmm?
You're supposed to forego all of your constitutional rights to fight terrorism.
Whether you're making a clever joke, or telling it the way it is, you're right on the money. Like it or not, since 9/11 we've seen some pretty wack stuff. Random searches? Patriot Act? Holding without just cause? What the hell is that? More and more, the Constitution has become something that only the rich can afford. In the meantime, those who are a day in the sun darker than those in power suffer because what was once regarded as "rights" are being thrown in the toilet. In the name of what? Some crusty white zealot's blood war.
I was once told that if you put a monkey in front of a keyboard at a Unix/Linux terminal, the first 10 things it would type would be valid Unix commands. Is this a related story?
Somehow this reminds me of elementary school, when all the girls you knew had these real popular pink stickers with horses and unicorns and stars and hearts all over them, and they would put them all over EVERYTHING they owned. Maybe some of these people are regressing.
Well, if they do make it illegal, they'll put your insurgent ass in jail. It's called the American way. Yes, you have a reasonableright to privacy, but part of having an "internet(read: public) presence" is being accesible to someone that you probably don't want. Live with it.
So when you use false information to avoid SPAM or protect your privacy are you committing fraud?
Yes. The problem lies within the reality that the gov't has the spammers' back-we're talking the economy here. Providing false information-whether it be for registration info or for good prices on canadian viagra and whatnot- is still fraud. Spammers just have enough money to get the gov't to "look the other way".

If they were proper yuppies, wouldn't they at least try the wines? And no, I don't mean Thunderbird.
You mean Arbor Mist?
Well, the FA says that it won't really be like beer...It'll have more of a berry like taste.
"Sweeter flavors have definitely made an impact on 21- to 35-year-olds. ... It's a bigger part of the alcohol-drinking spectrum."
I really don't have to say anything here, right?

Please move along.
Are they really bringing online gaming to DS?
I'd need a room with padded walls to come home to after a grueling day of putting up with the pointy-haired boss.
You mean you don't have one already?
assuming you'd realy call Dogbert a pet
I don't know...He does so much, he's practically an associate.

"..I was sitting in front of an idle browser window.."
Same place you've been for all major events on Slashdot. Why? 'Cause we can't get our news anywhere else.
I'll tell you what is good...Chocolate Mousse! Bork bork bork bork!
Oops...thanks for catching it. Must be a glitch in the Matrix...Happens when they change something.

I did my best to uphold my manhood by not saying the name, thanks for taking care of it for me!!
Trust me, noone who wears a USB dongle around their neck is getting the hot cheerleader.
Well, grandparent got one thing right...geek chic would be like a bad dream.

Just great. Now I'll have to wait like, 4 hours to get a new picture!
How about Epitonic for free music downloads! Free, legal, and something that everyone will like.
What are they gonna do?
Well, if they do make it illegal, they'll put your insurgent ass in jail. It's called the American way. Yes, you have a reasonableright to privacy, but part of having an "internet(read: public) presence" is being accesible to someone that you probably don't want. Live with it.
Scared yet?
I'm scared of everything in Texas.
