A better way. Put a bunch of legitimate sound clips out on the internet, but change it to have the watermark. Make sure your files get spread all over the place. A lot of false positives would render this useless.
And on a more sick note, you could find the "I am browsing gay porn" wav file and modify it. Can you imagine the poor schmuck who has to go review each report to see if it is true?
Nasty cough you have there. Before you infect the rest of Slashdot, let me advise you that Robots.txt is not legally enforcible. FTW - "The protocol, however, is purely advisory."
Governments should not try to micromanage. They may want greater efficiency, but when mandating specific technologies, they risk stifling innovation. Bottom line, ratchet up the minimum efficiency level and leave it at that.
I was about to post a snappy reply, but then I noticed your nick name. With truth in advertising like that, we can't be too surprised with your posts...

I have very little sympathy for thieves (bring out the "it's not theft, it is copyright infringement" whiners). However, if I were subject to this "tax", I'd damn well steal enough to compensate me for this tax. After all, if I've already paid for it, then I am going to get my money's worth.
Interesting reading, for sure. I know I have spent a lot of time writing "complex" SQL queries to accomplish the same thing. Interesting having a built in functions that will help accomplish the same thing.
Question: Performance-wise, is this the equivalent of using SQL subqueries? Or is there some type of database optimization that gives it a performance advantage?
Serious question: What exactly is the advantage of Oracle over SQL Server? I asked that to an Oracle DBA once, and he just got red in the face and stammered about having more options to configure things the way he wanted. I asked what exactly he configured, and basically got a lecture on Microsoft being evil. I then asked if he thought Larry Ellison was a saint, and the conversation just continued to devolve.
Serious question: why is Oracle considered so much better that SQL Server?

I always get N cumber mixed up with Q cumber. Thanks for clearing that up.
But... what if we N cumber someone with a particularly large Q cumber?

Can someone mod this guy up? He got smacked with some flamebait and trolls on some "funny" posts. He could use a karma bump.
Thanks.
They could be somewhat more fun if the photocopier were to print out 3D pictures of the secretary's arse, in full colour.
It loses its luster when it says PC Load Letter about 200 times before completion.

Meh. I'll believe it when I'm simulated by it.
So PCs hit the mainstream when they could stimulate [pron] you.
Quantum computers will hit the mainstream when they can simulate you.
hmmm...

Who needs quantum mechanics? I can do it with an old TRS-80

Microsoft's fault? Care to elaborate how they could set things up differently to take into account all the time zones and special rules?
And then, send a carbon copy to IBM and Sun and thousands of other companies that pretty much do things the same way (and have their own patches)?

Then I suggest an all female crew, plus me... as ... um... an independent observer. Yeah, that's it.
Let's have Slashdot solve a problem revolving around human sexual relationships. I can't think of three words more "anti-slashdot" than that ;)
This is despicable. We need to ensure that our astronauts are up in space. Down here, they try to kill each other.
Yeah. And banks should thank Bonnie and Clyde for making their banks more secure.
Ha! Mine turned me down. And you call yourself a nerd...
$250K? Yeah, I'd love it too. However, I bet the next offered transaction has another zero at the end of it.
As much as I like the name Gmail and would be sad to have to say something longer all the time
Um.... yeah. This definitely makes the list of things that make me sad.

In spite of more attacks, true or not, in the media on HP's image as an honest company, my prediction is their stock price will continue to go up.
My head almost exploded trying to parse this "sentence". Can anyone diagram this sentence and post it on the internet? sheesh.
A "mary"-go-round? Is this what you call the cheap prostitute you pick up when her welfare check hasn't arrived yet?
It involves duct tape, Vaseline, five rolls of toilet paper and the trunk of a mini-cooper.
But we don't call it "orientation", we call it "hazing".
