  1. Re:The size will be the limiting factor not DRM. on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Nah, it's more like:
    1) Find out which XDCC bots have the files you want
    2) Get queued
    3) Find out it'd be easier to get by donating in order to access their "good" bots
    4) Find out you saved like $10 by doing so

    Because the Xbox doesn't have a floppy drive.

    You get the RAR files with the expectation that you will continue to share them outside of BitTorrent (e.g. XDCC over IRC, eMule, FTP).

    Being a Disney movie, wouldn't that be on Bluray?

    Er, why does it add the XHTML/CSS/etc. links when it clearly doesn't and cannot follow said standards without the ability to rewrite the entire page?

  6. Re:Everyone uses it on Inside MySpace.com · · Score: 2, Informative
    They shouldn't have made it so freaking hard to use. (It takes three times as many clicks to do on something on MySpace than what it should take.)
    I've read that they do that in order to get more ad impressions. Just take a look at how messy their pages are and try to say I'm not right with a straight face.

    You rented a mainframe but buy a Mac. Big difference...

    Our wireless speeds are far faster than any internet connection they will be hookedup to, unless you're at a University campus. Why bother spending for it? It won't yield any extra download or upload speed.
    Because 802.11g isn't fast enough to stream 1080p HD video? And it's a bitch to copy anything larger than, oh, 50 MB, across an 802.11g network.
  9. Re:How would you sell that? on Fluendo To Sell Proprietary Codecs For Linux · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll do what RAR does and just check for your rarreg.key file (~/.rarreg.key also works as a location) to see if you have a legit licence for the program.

  10. Re:Good luck with that on Fluendo To Sell Proprietary Codecs For Linux · · Score: 1

    If you're editting video, you probably have raw streams for the video, so I don't think patents cover that (how could you patent a format where each frame of video is represented by a bunch of individual YUV values?).

    That's existed since tags started, so problem solved!

    Whatever percentage all Mac OS X, Linux, and BSD machines make up at least. There might be more, but those are the three I know of.

    Realistic would be synchronous upload/download (that's how networking equipment fucking works) and not costing $200 per month (you can get said FTTP in Japan for like ~3000 yen per month).

    You mean like all those PaysForSure subscription sites where you get "unlimited music for a low monthly fee"? Yeah, they're doing real well...

  16. Re:View the ads or find another webmail on Yahoo Mail Forcing Ads Through Adblock? · · Score: 1

    But what's the difference between me blocking ads and me never even looking at much less clicking the ads you shove in my face? So, just because I'm depriving you of a possible $0.02 due to accidentally clicking an ad instead of what I wanted to click, you think I should just fuck off and die? Really?

    I'd assume that AllofMP3 has sold far more than 2 billion songs by now, so there's your free market at work.

    Even better, what if you went up the children that actually showed up and informed them on the dangers of what they just did? How could you convict someone who is helping the children!? Won't somebody please think of the children!

    Not all Slashdotters are alike. A lot of Slashdotters support free software (and the GPL whether it be GPLv2 only or GPLv3 in the future) and enforcing the copyright behind them, and said Slashdotters also seem to defend copyright in the legal sense wherever applicable. Many Slashdotters also feel that copyright needs to be massively reformed as well.

    Digg, however, I can see why...
