What is designed to protect against one thing, does not nesesarily stop another.

(Speaking as someone with a nut allergy (not peanuts...):) this has gotten bloody insane. I've actually had a job where they banned peanuts because we had heired someone with a peanut allergy (They never banned almonds for me, just goes to show you how completely nonsensical and one sided this whole thing has gotten. )Even she (said person with allergy) thought it was insane the level the anti peanut sentiment has gotten to.

A) This is why no RIAA lawsuits have been successfully pursued in Canada.
B) If you think about it, this is socialism (Canada's special brand of socialism) in action, We get the music for free, because are taxes have already paid for it...
(Not necessarily saying this is a good idea, our health care system was originally based on this system... )
You forget RIAA members are the ones promoting Britteny Spears, The Back Street Boys, and Milli Vanilli, actual "talent" is a danger to their business.
Here is my problem with the known vs unknown debate. You are always going to release with an unknown quantitiy of unknown bugs, regardless of any attepmt to fix known bugs.
(Once again, its not a binary operation, you don't either release with known bugs, or release with unknown bugs...)
Where have you been. The primary Implementation for this will be the ads on DVD's and the DVD's for TV shows will start including the ads that ran durring the network run.
Sad part... Was chewed out by my boss a while back because I was "To Geeky" (work for an IT firm btw) Most of my colligues fancy themselfes to be atheleets ("I play 1 game of hockey a month, I'm cool..." bleh..)
About a month ago, I got talked into participating in an office "Wallyball" compitition. Now, I am in the typical geek shape: Never exercise, and I get winded just climing the stairs up to the third floor. So imagine my suprise when I am not only able to keep pace with these so called atheleets, but I out last most of them...
It has taken everything I have not to bring up the fact to my boss that someone who is "too geeky" was able to out last him at an 'athletic' sprot.
very time there's a patch, it reveals that we've all been running massive security risks for years, which the programmers only just discovered.
No, that was back when Patches were few, and far between. These days they are just patching up security risks that were added 10 patches ago.
It is my belief that any system more than 5 years old, and has been patched on a regular basis, nolonger has any of the original security holes. Only the 2^N holes that have been added by the successive patches (Where N is the number of patches.)
But kids already do that, or more accurately the opposite. Watch a bully beat the living shit out of a kid at recess some time. What are the other kids doing: are they helping, or are they standing around cheering on! (BTW, its the later. As the kid getting the shit kicked out of him, trust me on this one. (this was in the mid 80's to mid 90's, so anyone who even mentions violent video games as a cause can kiss my ass.) )
BTW. That is what caused me to become the apathetic, cynical adult that I am. Not my preference in media.
That is what I find the funniest about all of this. Any article or person or... (ect) that cries Wolf over video game violence NEVER sites crime statistics.
I think it's because they know they are in the wrong. They just whant money, fame, ect... and don't care who, or what, they damage in the long run.
Slashdot Mirror
Nah... $10 says Ghost STILL comes out before DNF.
I think the real news here is that PC Mag said a negative thing about a Microsoft Product. (Its been what, 10 Years since thats happened?)
Holy shit I can't believe I'm saying this, but I want to move from Canada to the US! When the FUCK did that become utterable?
Good point...

I believe steve miller said it best: "Take the money and run"
That would explain all the anxiety and depression in the US.
And you expect the Slashdot crowd to have a valid answer for that question?
You mean "expect the slashdot crowd to have a valid answer to "How do you cope with sexual desire over a years long period?""
