The first thing that came to mind when I saw the title of this article was pornography, of the general and more dubious types. I was surprised to find no mention in the article. Under the same context as the music references in the article, is there a danger in making stuff like child pornography and beastiality readily available to anyone who knows where to look? Or does that fall into the "they were fucked up to begin with" category that we already apply to subjects such as violence in videogames?
Don't forget, turntables are musical "instruments." Any Guitar Center, Mars Music, or whatever other big box music instrument retailer in your area should have a very nice selection of turntables and needles from the cheepo to premium variety.
Monster's strength is definitely in it's marketing. When I was a wee lad working in a few music instrument and consumer electronics retail jobs, I got to see Monster's spin coming out of the mouths of some of their best marketing minds. The facts don't lie though (I'm too lazy to back them up). If something happens to be a unique feature and not just a fancy name for a manufacturering process or performance rating standard in all other cabling, it usually doesn't actually do anything to improve sound quality. Gas-injected dielectric? Witch craft!
Wait, are you saying we should sneak impovised explosives into Wal*Marts around the U.S and detonate them mid-day in a beautifully synchronized fireworks show? The thought has never crossed my mind! How DARE you say such dangerous things.
Wait, you are just being facetious? Careful, my good man, people don't always pick up on subtle sarcasm here. Goal number one here on Slashdot is to prove someone wrong and make sure everyone knows it.
I think coming out of the company's mouth, "small clips" means "oh no, MPAA, don't worry, people aren't going to watch pirated movies on THIS device, that's NOT perfectly suited for the filetypes your content is NOT distributed in heavily via Bittorrent and Usenet. No, no, small clips, that's where the market is."
eldavojohn, if that's his real name, is refering to things discussed here, and, wait . . . OMG, by George, right here!. Read the articles reported on so kindly by/. and you'll understand which humor he's refering to. Funny (to me at least, I'm sure not you), your post rather answers his own question well.
Excuse me good sir, this is a discusion regarding the correct display of posessive singular nouns in modern English. Please reserve your thoughts about Apple and the movie industry for the proper forum. Perhaps you were looking for this article?

Yes, and interestingly, that magnetic hidden mechanical latch design debuted on the original G4 white iBook from several years ago, back when they hit 1GHz and later were implemented in the MacBook Pro's. I'm not sure if the Powerbooks saw them (my friends from the same period doesn't have it), but I think the screens on the MacBook Pros should be light enough to support this newer non-mechanical latching system. Hot!
I'm a big fan of GAME-games that test your reflex mettle like Ninja Gaiden and Mario-esque platformers, but game-"games," particular RPGs like Kingdom Hearts, the Xenosaga series, and action borderliners like the Metal Gears should be approached from a different angle. If you don't care for exposition, stay away, but if you accept these as vast, interactive BOOKS, they're a pretty excellent experience.
Last time I turned the XP software firewall on to test a connection by plugging straight into my cable modem, I recall the firewall asking me each time a application attempted to send data out if I would like to allow that program to make outbound connections always or temporarily.
I'm all about micro-managing my connections through a hardware firewall, but that seems pretty darn effective for everyone who doesn't care to read hardware manuals to send a picture to grandma. It's amazing how pissed off some people get when they have click a freaking button occasionally. I can't believe MS would make this sort of change to appease these people.
Yes, they actually go further than bios checking (no different than HP or many other retail box mfgs) and place a hidden partition on the MBR drive to assist in verifying the hardware you're running. Not my favorite practice, and with the right image and software not effective for us people, but it's effective in stopping mom and dad from "theiving" their OS across their Pavillions.
Verizon's coporate offices are as bad, if not worse. You think being a retail customer of their's is hell . . . they can barely handle their own billing, let alone providing accurate CDRs and timely support for their MVNE's and MVNO's, some pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into their coffers. Any RSS users out there?
Yeah, but does Linux have Internet Explorer? Yeah, I didn't think so . . . you should really think your argument through to it's logical end next time. What are you going to say next, that Firefox runs on Linux?!
It's the GSM radio standard I think. I had this problem with my old ghetto T-Mobile Nokia phone, and I have this problem with my new Cingular Motorola phone. I don't recall what at&t operates with, but Sprint and Verizon are CDMA. Does at&t use SIM cards, or do you have to manually or OTA program them like the Sprint and Verizon hardware requires?
I don't know . . . I had some consistantly bad experiences on the 520 when I've left work in Redmond heading for warehouse district. What you say is totally true, but I've never found it any faster. We probably travel different times of the day though, so, yeah, you know.
And damn, mode my OP down . . . I just took an already lame joke and totally drove it into the ground explaining it. Sad.
Hey now, come on, this story is cute and funny in a safely humorous, non-tech way. I don't know about you, but I want to know about every navigation bug affecting rural UK folk. Just what I expect here at/. Boy oh boy, let me tell you about the time Yahoo! Maps told me to take the I405 instead of I5 to go to South Seattle from Lynnwood. FRONT PAGE NEWS!

It's gotta really peta be so far ahead of the competition. Nyuck.

I'm an idiot. It was cut the the ESA foundation. I get what you meant.
They did cut him a check for $10,000.

Yes, iChat is an incredible video chat client, the best in my opinion.

Nintendo is also releasing a new DualShock-ish "Classic" controller. If you hate the C stick, this is a nice improvement on a standard design.

PS - don't call people idiots, sir. That's really really mean.

Wait a second . . . . what just happended. I'm so confused.

Oh, damn, that's a dilbert reference. And it IS next to Kneebonia. That Kneeastan was just me being clever. See how fucking smart I am. I RULE!
