    Umberto Eco has written some interesting columns on this as well. I'd like to say where they were from, but my professor handed us retyped photocopies with no real reference info.

    what's stopping you from configuring one machine as you like it and then making clones of its hard disk?

    oh ho, you're not only a fucking idiot, but a prejudicial, stuck-up asshole who thinks his "subtle sarcastic jokes" are actually funny to boot.

    This was not just a burn.

    This burn required ridiculous amount of physical therapy and /scrubbing burnt flesh off the woman's legs/

    Coffee is usually served at 140 degrees fahrenheit. This coffee was served at 180. Of course it's made with boiling water you buffoon. But you don't keep the coffee boiling while it sits in the coffee pot, do you? Do you consider 180 degrees (enough to burn through your skin within 2 seconds) a decently hot cup of coffee?

    And if you honestly believe that people "stupid" enough to spill coffee on themselves should be sent away, maybe you should be the first.

    Where a restaurant gets sued because their coffee is so hot it causes THIRD DEGREE BURNS if you spill it on yourself?

    actually in the windows version, it does execute them with a click.

    slashdot desperately wants to be taken seriously as journalism.

    thusly, they need serious sensationalism.

    what you describe (the iRate part) already happens though. it's not enough for those who aren't in the know, dig?

    he doesn't own 20th century fox, though, and they can decide that it's not worth their cash to distribute his movies anymore.

    let's not sugarcoat the actual events. there's plenty of killing and general fux0ring.

    a working government is better than "liberated" chaos

  20. Re:Napster and Shawn Fanning on Shawn Fanning's New Venture · · Score: 1

    that's not marketing.

    even small underground labels promote their artists. you try to book concerts. you try to make people aware of your music. this isn't easy and cheap, even if it's just going around the internet spreading word without marking yourself as spam

  21. Re:Good. on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 1

    congrats. you have completely missed the point.

    i did not say garageband sounds like ass.

    i said that if you record sound with ass equipment, the recording will sound like ass. the software used does not matter. you can make really shitty recordings with anything from cool edit to pro tools.

    capische?

    bullshit.

    if you record an album in garageband with crappy $5 microphones and all sorts of cheap-ass gear, it's going to sound like ass.

    i like apple but you're giving waaaaaaaaay too much credit.

    the CD-Rs you can buy that are labeled as "music" cd-rs are the only Cd-Rs that will work in standalone CD recorders. These cost more because of that tax.

  24. Re:Good. on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 1

    radio promotion is rather tightly controlled by entities who are NOT record labels. labels pay promoters to ship stuff to radio stations. i'm sure there are many radio stations that don't play anything except the commercial crap that gets sent to them, but there are quite a few folks that i know who have made their own music, sent demos into commercial radio station, and gotten airtime.

    You may have not heard of Sub Pop, but I'll bet you've heard of Nirvana, and Sub Pop was their first record label.
