1) Bring down the full force and wrath of the law upon the fools who enter their passwords and the websites who ask for them. Both deserve punishment under anti-spam legislation.
Only one last-gen console (PS2) played DVDs out of the box, the XBox needed a dongle and the GC had to be bought in a much more expensive, Japan-only "Q" version. If you count the Dreamcast as last-gen that didn't play DVDs either.
No, that's how dictatorships/fascism works, communism is about giving the means of production to communities and making everyone "the government" with noone more powerful than anyone else.
Why care? Other TLDs don't get adhered to that strictly, either. How many non-commercial sites are on.com? How many French sites aren't on.fr? Each TLD defines what content it will host (e.g..cx doesn't want to host goatse) and each website has a choice between all the TLDs willing to take it.
Cell, maybe. RAM, no. Devs have been complaining about the RAM already, there's no way in hell they're going to hand more of that precious stuff to another program.
Yep, "supercomputing" is what the Cell excells at. It may not be the best processor for all purposes but for that one purpose it's one of the best there is.
But if you saw an ant hill for the first time, wouldn't you try poking it? It's more interesting to see reactions towards unusual events than just watch animals do their normal thing.
Apple isn't as big and doesn't have as many infractions (pretty much only the iTunes DRM, Apple lacks monopolies to abuse so they can't get many antitrust violations) but they are being dealt with as well.
Code isn't a good documentation. It documents the de-facto implementation but it does not show anything about the specifications. It doesn't tell you what values are allowed to go through, only what values Windows uses. It also doesn't tell you what values are intentional and what's a bug.
Chrysler is actually doing so badly that Daimler-Chrysler is trying to sell them off but noone wants to buy them. Also Daimler-Chrysler would probably count as a German company so in effect you bought a German car, just one designed for the US market.
Then your shareholders would demand your head on a silver plate because you just abandoned a huge market and gave the competition lots of fertile ground to work with. What would happen if all of Europe would switch to Linux or Mac OS? Do you think developers would still make their programs Windows-only? It would be a temporary setback for the EU, it would be a permanent loss to Microsoft.
Never mind that arbitrary license terminations like that for non-negotiated contracts aren't allowed in the EU so they'd be using Windows for quite some time after that and have enough time to safely migrate to the preferred alternative.
Slashdot Mirror
Masses is an overstatement. Spammers have almost zero cost so one or two people reacting for every billion emails sent is profitable.
No.

It's complex, duh!

As everyone knows, if you have a trademark dispute with McDonald's you flip out and kill people.
We've got so many redundant or ignored TLDs already (e.g. .us), one more can't hurt.
Well, without sex there would be no war...
hotse.xxx will sell better than porn.com
Hotse? That's one step away from Goatse...

I got a gold plated SCART cable for my Gamecube, the thing cost about 5€ and was the cheapest GC SCART cable available.
Cell, maybe. RAM, no. Devs have been complaining about the RAM already, there's no way in hell they're going to hand more of that precious stuff to another program.
(after 25% VAT)
What? 600€ includes the VAT. It's still way too expensive but there's no need to make up false numbers when the real ones work well enough.
I thought that was triggered by the official prototype rendering of the Sixaxis which had a button labelled "serect".
It also doesn't have the power for an very immersive environment for an FPS.
Depends on your definition. I found Metroid Prime back on the Gamecube plenty immersive.

Don't spam links to a poll, if you want a poll contact the editors about using the Slashdot poll space.
Did you intentionally quote the election ad from Wag The Dog?
Not really, "one people" could mean one surviving "race".

Naah, they'll prop up the Maginot line and the aliens will just walk over Belgium instead.
