Didn't you see Gone in 60 seconds? That movie should have taught you that all car theives are electronics experts who can record and manipulate RF signals on a whim!
Now thanks to the Wasington Post, I know there are a bunch of cars sitting unlocked, and all I need to do to steal them is bring some radio jamming equipment! Sweet!
It seems with this release there is a Subscribe Now! link on the front page after all. I guarentee that was not there before!
But HOW do I give it to them????

Some 3 weeks ago I went to transgaming's website for a gander at how much a subscription costs. I crawled over that thing like a maggot for hours, clicking every link in site, before giving up. I could not find anywhere on the site with pricing info, or where to sign up for a subscription, or how. For a company that wants your money, they sur emake it difficult! Most places have a big "Sig up now!" link on the front page, but not Transgaming. It seems mired in enigma.
Am I just dumb? I hope so. Can anyone post the link that shows how much a subscription is and how you sign up?
I sure am. Not just him but all the karma whores "here is a link to the Google cache" - wowee, I didn't know how to do that myself. I wish I ha dmore mod points so I could -1 the bunch of them.
Single quote? RTFA (Read The Fucking Article). IT is quite clear what the school's stance is.
"A brand-new rule says a computer science student is wrong to try to seek answers to questions ANYWHERE other than from course materials or Georgia Tech staff. Rooting around in old books in the library, checking the Internet, calling your cousin at Caltech--all are forbidden."
It doesn't matter how often you play the lottery, the chances of you winning any particular time don't go up. Every lottery is an independant random variable, it is not linked to the previous lottery in any way.
If you want to support downloadable tunes, then go join eMusic. For 5 - 10 bucks / month depending on the plan you choose, you can download unlimited tracks from their website. These aren't crappy proprietary tracks either, they are high bitrate MP3's, no restirctions. And I have checked out their content, they have some really good stuff available. Not just a bunch of unknoqns like MP3.com has, they have stuff from all kinds of people including GooGoo Dolls, Rancid, Bush, Green Day, and many more. These artists all have multiple full albums available for download.
So if you really want to show your support go sign up. Or, if you want to keep whining and leeching free stuff from Gnutella, go ahead. But don't complain when the whole MP3 format becomes outlawed when no one uses it but pirates.
Hello. I am the automated performance monitor for Slashdot. My job is to keep average repetition rates at a low level, so that users can consistently count on Slashdot to help them stay informed on "Stuff that matters." The last post you made, specificlly "Google Releases an API for Their Database", has already been mentioned on one or more previous Slashdot articles. When I see results like this, I significantly reduce the rate at which I show your stories so you can make changes to your reviing procedures so as to stop posting duplicate content. (...)

Er, a bit of advice.... it's just software. If people bash GNOME and you use it, so what? Who cares? Why are you so emotionally attached to your desktop? If someone says "I hate Fords", an dyou drive a Ford, do you start bawling?
Don't forget though, that the GPL allows him to charge a "distribution fee", which the license doesn't even say must be reasonable. He could offer to ship the Lindows source on another CD for $1000, or even $100,000 and it would be perfectly GPL compliant. GPL doesn't mean it has to be available for download, or even come with the OS.
Er, WTF are you talking about. The Nomad 3 has a firewire interface, and at 30 GB and OGG capable for the same price, it pretty much beats the piss out of the iPod. Not to mention it works in Windows (without buying 3rd party software) and Linux
iPod has only 10GB? WTF can you store on that? THe Nomad has 20 Gb TODAY and the Nomad 3 is going to have 30GB and firewire.
Nomad can play 3rd party formats, iPod can't
iPod only works with Mac. If you want to use it wirh Windows you have to buy 3rd party software. And good luck getting it to work in Linux at all (I know there are efforts, but from what I have seen none have come to fruition yet). The Nomad works with Mac, Windows, AND Linux, out of the box. There is even a Nomad KIO Slave, so yes, you can use it as a hard drive,
Why id iPod superior again? Oh yeah, cause you own one. Sorry bub, that doesn't cut it for me.
It's not like there is some jock who scans the NYT site and copy/pastes the articles in. It is all automated. All the stories are mirrored, period. What, did you think there was a "No Negative Yahoo stores" checkbox? All the major portals use this technology. You can find simmilar no registration links to NYT articles at Altavista and Excite.
Please posters, spend the 30 extra seconds needed to get the no registration link which is ALWAYS at Yahoo. It is ironic that, on a story about privacy and access to your information, the poster doesn't seem to care at all about NYT stroing his information and reading preferences.
Um, you are basiclly agreeing with the guy. Hence:
The cable companies biggest expense is depreciation on equipment purchased 3-5 years ago.
Wrong. The biggest expense in any semi-large business is always the salarys of your employees.
broadband costs the cable company about $12-17 a month, while you are charged $40-70.
Er, that's not really that much of a markup there Jimbo. Do you have any idea how running a buisness works and how much it costs? That markup wont even pay for one tech support guys salary + benefits for one hour of work! Assuming you need at LEAST 1 tech support person available per 100 or so users at any given moment, and these techs earn a modest 15 dollars / hr including benefits, it takes a 30 dollar a month profit just to pay the support guys. Now add in your costs for things like rent, power, heat, and a general profit margin, and see how badly they are "robbing you".
I agree, and the thing that irks me is even the Open Source office suites can't agree! OpenOffice, KWord, and AbiWord all use XML to store their files, but all have independant implimenations that are incompatable! Sure, having them Open Source and all makes filters better and easier to create, but why not just *agree* on a common format? It it really that hard to get together and come to an agreement?
No. A full feature article. People like you are the idiots whoc reate the double post problem. Increase your front page's story buffer to 45 or so, and READ THE GODDAMED STORYS FROMT HE PAST FEW DAYS!!!!
I am a Canadian, and I had no idea you guys had weirdo laws like this. Up here it is standard to have multiple timeshifted feeds of all network programming, which is naturally accomplished by picking up a local feed and rebroadcasting it nationwide. It is very convienent to be able to get home an hour late for a show, and still be able to watch the feed from Ontario, or even later, the one from Vancouver (I live out east). I dunno why the companies put up with it for this long!

Except in communism, nothing is owned, but everything is free. We are heading to where nothing is owned, but everything is rented.
QBasic.
It was a joke. Lighten up.

What are you talking about? I sure as hell have no idea. *I* on the other hand am talking about statistics, a very disciplined branch of mathematics.

Now, here's an even beter idea, how about the posters ofthe stories follow this process to save us all time.

Just for fun, I loaded up qtella and ran a quick "Celine Dion New Day" search on audio. Sure enough, the whole album showed up.
