i don't think he's claiming to be the endpoint of experimentation on this issue.
you may have heard of thomas brinkmann, who frequently uses the sounds from slices cut into vinyl records in his music. as far as i know, no-one has tried to really manipulate the actual cd media to find what sounds it makes because merely scratching up the surface doesn't produce much.
now here is a method of modifying cd's without making them unplayable. let's see what can be done with this before we reject it entirely.

actually, record LABELS sell music to distributors, and distributors sell that to retail outlets of various kinds.
thus, iTunes Music Store and Apple Records are not in the same business.
"We're getting closer. I'm a pretty regular video game player, but I was at a party were a GameCube was playing one of the new football games. The game was put down (but not paused) on some penalty announcement, and it took me at least 10 minutes and 4 or 5 glances before I realized it wasn't a real game."
A big part of that is how well these games mimic the camera angles used in television broadcasts. That part was done fairly well at least as early as Virtua Racing (the arcade edition with the separate screen for spectators, anyway)
There has been work like this over the past ten years at least. If you find a copy of the video "Beyond the Mind's Eye", there is some very nifty stuff (visually anyway) inside.
My personal favorite is the flyaround of a Mac IIfx motherboard done by Apple Computer, but that's just me.:)
No, there is no plot; it's basically a long-form music video for Jan Hammer (or Thomas Dolby or Kerry Livgren in the other members of the series).
Have a public cached version that is separate from the version that is available to only "important" people. The public server gets DDoS'd, but big deal! you have mirror!

a band that sounds almost exactly like the Smashing Pumpkins, but with David Bowie singing, no drummer, and a game of frog baseball.
Oh, and MORE COWBELL!
Reviews should stay as far away as is possible from favorable comparisons to other works. That ground is dangerously close to promotional literature.
Television channels make their money by selling advertisements. (obvious) However, you have somehow been convinced to actually pay for a television, and maybe even pay for cable when the primary reason for the content you're watching is to get you to look at ads!
If you decide not to buy something, you don't have it. If you decide to get something for free, instead of buying from me, you have it, and I don't have my money.
Radio stations have licenses to distribute their content. They pay royalties to the songs' creators. Filesharers do not.

Another thing to do is not name your kids similarly.
For example, if you have two sons, don't name them "Peter Michael Jones" and "Michael Peter Jones".

The kind you eat with milk.
he oughta slip the managers some cash.
in some places in india, that's the only way to get things done.
Some other more recent examples are:
The time travel scene in Star Trek IV (yes, the one with the whales)
The "Matriculated" section of The Animatrix
I can't think of any others offhand that I thought were effective, but I have a lousy memory when it comes to movies.

You're thinking of JOHN CARPENTER's Vampires, right?
fox movies have soundtracks, ne?
well sure, but that's a different problem. a technocracy, while it would allow me to be top dog, would probably not be a good thing in general.
aw, what do i care? IT'S GOOD BE THE KING!
Slashdot sure as hell isn't going to save the future. It's too busy bickering, just like the rest of the Internet.
I think you might be a bit optimistic about the true nature of this place, eh?
Next time do us a favor and drink your coffee first.

I would blame OS/2's marketplace failure more on Microsoft for pulling out than on IBM.
That said, I've seen OS/2 running on quite a few ATMs and things of that nature.
surely you're joking, mr. feynman!
Most television is spam.

However, you have somehow been convinced to actually pay for a television, and maybe even pay for cable when the primary reason for the content you're watching is to get you to look at ads!
(why am I telling you this? this isn't news)
Errrr, that was supposed to be 'everyone', not 'anyone' above.
Although the namecalling really does make you look smart, coward.
Some of the sharers may have indeed bought licenses for personal use, NOT redistribution.
"the fact that one download doesn't mean one lost sale."
You're correct, but the opposite extreme isn't true either. Strangely enough, it seems to be bandied about constantly.
"I decide what to do with my money, period."
But you don't decide whether your money is enough for me to give you something.
Do you really have the complete misunderstanding of copyright that you seem to?
That does not matter. Filesharing is still illegal. In my eyes, it's immoral as well, but this is not a moral argument.
If you decide not to buy something, you don't have it.
If you decide to get something for free, instead of buying from me, you have it, and I don't have my money.
