Umm... I am a Hulu plus subscriber and find the advertising to be of very little annoyance with the biggest issue being the repetition of ads, at least change it up a little. There are far less advertisements than if I were to watch it live or on my dvr. I don't have the issues of it hanging on advertisements but I mostly watch on my Roku and it sounds like you are watching in your browser. I did have that issue on occasion back when it first came to PS3 but that was years ago and hasn't been an issue for done time now. I don't know maybe I'm in the minority but I find the service to be pretty great.
The criticisms of Atlas Shrugged come from the liberal media, in concert with their liberal government friends, most of whom graduated from Harvard. They see the book and its ideas as a threat to their concepts of an all-knowing, all controlling government. Much in the same light as was exposed in 1984, Animal Farm, and Brave New World.
Fixed that for you. I'm not sure the fantastic John Landis film from the 70's was telling the same tale as those other works. Though if looked at from a certain angle I suppose some similarities could be found.
Huxley, not Orwell. No one is forced to own/watch television.
If it were Huxley all television would be provided free of charge, including all premium channels, so as to keep the working class happy and ignorant of the real goings on of the world. That is of course until we start receiving our daily ration of soma which will make all current distractions seem quaint by comparison. Given the choice, I would prefer Huxleys ignorant utopia over Orwells distopia any day. Then again I am an escapist in every sense of the word . . .
This luser was trying to set up a DDOS attack (even if it was a feeble one). Additionally, he's not a boy or a kid, he's a man - he's old enough to be married, go to war, fly a plane, father a child. He has adult rights and responsibilities.
Lusers like this is why September 1993 has still not ended. He is no better than a spammer or a skript kiddie. I hope he is punished to the extent the law allows for his actions.
Why are people supporting this idiot?
you however are obviously still a child and possibly a "sKript kiddie." i have never seen a mature adult use the word luser . . . . . . . . .
the kid/man/child/adult/teen whatever you wish to refer to him as should have been suspended at the most. i hardly feel that this warranted leagal action and i feel, as many others do here, that the school system has over-reacted and is looking to seriously make a fool of its whole administration.
how is throwing a student in jail going to be a proactive step in educating him/her which is what the schools main concern should be, not to mention what they receive all of that state funding for. schools are far to quick to make an example of one student when they should be looking at why he/she felt compelled to do what they did in the first place and trying to help address that with the student and parents.
ok pardon me if this has been mentioned but i really didn't want to sift through 800,348,120,938,348,643 replies. obviously there is not going to be one of these chips tailor made for everyone in the world, well not yet at least, so my question is how is your personal information going to be placed within the chip??? when i buy a new motherboard from newegg will they send the info they have to the manufacturer or will i have to fill out a "hardware registration form" that can be provided false information??? if that scenario is true and i decide to start buying everything retail will they take the stuff in back an implant all my info on it?? and again will they get this info from my credit/debit card or will it have to be provided by me?? what if i pay cash??? what if i purchase the product used, will i have to ship it to the manufacturer for "reprogramming"??? or will all future hardware require that biometric readers be installed on every computer and every computer be connected to the internet to access a database of all the worlds biometric data???
i can't really see this tech tacking off as i believe it would cause hardware prices to soar due to all the extra implied overhead that is presented, at which point many people would stop upgrading causing profit margins to drop and the whole tech industry to eventually implode. unless there is something even more extremely heinous coming down the pipe that we don't know about i see this as a short sighted tech being lobbied by the music and film industries to save their falling profits from people who are sick of paying $20 for 60 minutes worth of music (a lot of it sub mediocre) and $7 twice a year to see the two good movies that actually are released. of course there are the governmental implications, but i don't want to get all political.
if this chip eventually does come to fruition i believe we will see the scenario proposed by femto regarding the shadow internet and it won't be an issue for most slashdot users anyway.
hey i resent being called a rat, in animal terms i would say i'm more of a sloth. at least us "DDR rats" get up on our feet from time to time to play a game, unlike those EQ2 bastards . . . . . . . damn i guess i just called myself a rat bastard there . . . . . . .

I logged in just to make the same comment, you beat me to it

Nothing has a copyright until a copyright is applied for and granted
Get used to it.. Stop being butthurt and increase your security.
That ranks right up there with 'if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear'.

(Nvidia is advertising a 6 fold power increase between Tegra 2 and Tegra 3)
I think you mean between Tegra 3 and Tegra 4

I also recall the first time CmdrTaco stepped down, I remember it like it was yesterday . . . .
