That I know. I use BitTorrent often, especially when new releases come out (try downloading the Knoppix DVD without it...). Just the way he said it made it sound...indignant?
The worrying part is that they may just turn around and claim that the copyright infringments overshadow the potential positive uses of BitTorrent. And then where will we be left?
They don't have to encrypt each one individually. Just encrypt them all with one key, and provide that key on the DVD, encrypted with another key which is unique to each person. The player then contains the second key. These doesn't have to be much overhead at all if the only difference is the second key.
It seems like a bad trhing from the start, as now they may be able to turn around and say that normalcustomers should possibly follow the example set by these people. How long until all players are 'registered' in a similar manner?
With regards to your mouse problem, have you tried submitting your patch to the development team? That way you wouldn't have to re-apply it constantly.
I hate myself for saying this, but when somebody new is setting up a server on any of the *nixes (Linux, BSD, etc...), they generally install things they don't need because 'they might need them'... This can open up quite a few interesting ports for the outside world's use.
It took me 2 compromised machines to get over that phase:( Fortunately, they were on my home network, so there was no serious fallout.
How is it that nobody has taken him to court yet? Is it simply not worth the effort, or are they scared that it might give him some sort of tinge of legitimacy?
And yet (at least in shops here) home users who ask about routers are being told that it makes them invulnerable to the "nasty people" on the internet:S
I realise that this is Slashdot and that people are encouraged to post meaningless rants about subjects which they know nothing about.
However, could you maybe - just this once - do a bit of background reading BEFORE you post anything else again? Preferably in the doctor's office while waiting for the vasectomy to match your obvious lobotomy?

And you would know from personal experience? :p
That would depend on whether or not he uses filters, and if so how much he has invested in them. The GIMP can't use all photoshop filters.
I believe that this one has already been anticipated:s p/

and shouldn't that be "congrats" instead of "congrads"?

Maybe they can hire the security guards from the RIAA.
Or they simply need to reverse engineer the firmware on the Cinea model...

Just checked. The "headless" option has been on the cards since XP, or as it was then called 'Whistler', but it somehow failed to materialise...
Thanks :) I'll try to cut down on my caffine before posting in future.
MS can release versions of Windows that is more modular and can run WITHOUT A GUI
Isn't this part of the blurb for Vista right now? That it will be able to run without a GUI?
I haven't read the newest documentation, so I could be wrong...
As an aside, would they be liable for some **AA style legal abuse ?
Completely off-topic, but has anybody ever come across a MP system where the chips DIDN'T have to be matched?
The problem here is that this sort of reaction (the parent) is becoming more and more common. It isn't funny, just sad.
weither = whether, perhaps?

Seems like a bit of hair splitting to me. Will the gas not simply percolate outwards from under the seabed?

Security through obscurity...
What is between your (partner's|) legs doesn't quite count here...

OT: How does one write a lambda in HTML?

Yet another dupe. Does the submitter actually read slashdot, or does he blindly post any story which happens to catch his eye?
