I do think you are a bunch of chickenshits for jumping on a different viewpoint
Of course they are. They wouldn't have jumped on you if your letter was addressed to Bill Gates.
Take away my Karma.
It seems that's exactly why mods mod down registered users more than ACs. So that they can burn down the user's karma and silence him (by giving him an initial score of -1). They usually don't bother with such comments if you were an AC.
Now that Apple itself is going to release two button mouses (mice, or whatever) I'm sure it won't be confusing anymore for Mac users. Of course, there will be *some* people who will still think that two-buttoned mouses are bad, but they'll either accept two-buttoned mouses as soon as they are released because Apple made the mouse incredibly different and awesome and innovative like noone else before and in a way only Apple can do -- or they will adapt two-buttoned mouses after using them for a while and seeing how Apple has done this right while noone else could and it's truly marvelous.
Personally I've never seen someone who would be competent enough to use a computer (however badly) and yet not be able to use a two buttoned mouse. But then, I've never met a Mac user.
People are stupid and they'll use Nero because it's commercial and you have to pay for it. Really. I've so many times people on slashdot and other places saying they'll buy something just because it's commercial, without giving any concrete reasons. And also for support.
Parent is not redundant. NRG files may look like ISO files (don't know, haven't tried), but I've seen that NRG files are bigger than a corresponding ISO file. Maybe NRG files contain an ISO + additional information. BTW, on Windows, whenever I've tried renaming NRG files to ISO it hasn't worked.
Not much use. The article is divided over many pages with a very short introduction page as the first page and mirrordot has mirrored only the first page. The poster could have linked to the printable version, but then the site would have been slashdotted sooner (or not due to the lack of graphics on the printable versions).
Before making nonsense, worthless comment, wait till the site gets unslashdotted and READ it. Most of you question might be answered there. Many other questions being asked are just stupid or have obvious answers. Like, how can you prove that the violaters are indeed using GPLed software. Many of the violaters are openly using GPLed software. Like using the Linux kernel. And then some question are very silly/small minded. Please.
Just another case of the bad effects of developers (search engines in this case) dumbing down things too much for users. If you don't know how this is such a case, then you're probably one of the users this has been dumbed down for.

Typical of Slashdot to mod down,
Yup

I still know better.
Good for you. Me too.

Typical slashdotter ignorance and arrogance.

It doesn't lack multimedia support. It only lacks support for mpeg and others which are covered by software patents.
Can someone please tell me why they are doing this without going into conspiracy theories/nonsense?
Grandparent is not flamebait. Parent is.
Please don't make uninformed comments. It doesn't make you look smart (hopefully).
and other causes of uncontrollable shaking.
Nah, my mouse-hand remains pretty stable when I'm waxing my knob. Usually. Except when there's Natalie Portman on my monitor. Oh man...
Oh man, you snatched the words right out of my (non-foaming) mouth.

My god... Not even one comment worth reading. I almost killed myself sifting through all the crap trying to find a comment worth reading.
This is news?
Wouldn't the logical thing to say be "Those of you who do not want a radio should buy something other than an iPod"?
Urgh... Parent presents valid points against something related to Apple in a polite manner and it gets modded down as troll!!
Good to see that there is at least *some* sense on slashdot.
Whatever suggestion anyone makes here... Don't you think NASA would have thought about them? They are after all the N fucking ASA.
Yeah right... Opinions of slashdotters matter... And you'll get very good ones...
Come on this is genuiney funny. Mod it up. (the one you can't see coz it's modded down as -1 offtopic)
wouldnt the sourceforge.net domain have been better instead of the sf.net one?
In case you didn't get what parent means, check out the sig of the linked user.
