I think the "liberation" thing shouldn't have been said so sarcastically. What we need is *more* of these devices. If I can legally purchase music and no longer have it bound to my iPod and PC, but have it play on my other MP3 players or phone or whatever else I want, then DRM is more feasible.
No, you have to enable linking to the old libraries using the Tools -> Options -> Folders thing, do libraries, and point it to the Platform SDK ones. Then you'll have good ol' c/c++ and win32. It was a feature left out in the early.NET 2005 Beta's that really pissed me off.
It's nice to see companies committing suicide over scare tactics by the RIAA/MPAA. Oh wait, no, I lied. Really, does the RIAA/MPAA have nothing better to do than send out threatening letters saying "We'll come after you if you can't control the actions of your users which is impossible since we have a bigger operating budget and we couldn't do it anyway. We think piracy costs us money despite the fact that last year was a crap year for the box office and we increased our revenue by 5%. See? Piracy = Denting Our Profits."
What the hell? I'm glad I live in Australia where nobody cares about copyright enough to enforce it and come after grandmothers.
And besides, it's not going to stop other people from moving to Bearshare, or WinMX, or Shareaza, or Gnucleus, or even Bittorrent or USENET.
Cry me a river MPAA/RIAA, maybe you should have used your extra 5% revenue to think of ways of solving the problem non-draconianly.
I remember seeing this recently and saying something along the lines that users should 'wake up' to the fact that they had this device in their pockets with their keys. He also laughed at the fact that the screen wasn't made from some high-grade polymer, which would be cheap enough to cover the square inch or so of the screen.
And let's not forget Apple is making these for a $100 profit, can they really not afford that extra 50c?
Go NASA for whacking a Western footprint on Mars already! Good thing America's first in teh space race.

Rather than spam us with this, please read the post the/. team made regarding this. They said they weren't fully W3C compliant yet, but they would be fixing it in the next couple of days. Mkay? Mkay.
It's not up to the open source community to look after their own trademarks and stuff like that. There should already be initiatives for non-for-profit or (cyber)community-minded groups like the OSS community to get a hold of trademarks for non-for-profit reasons. I live in Australia, and I think we've got fair(ish) copyright laws, but not something like this. Does anyone live in a country that has this sort of system/law?
Maybe a few hours. If you consider that you can accelerate at 5m/s or whatever, after a minute you're at 300m/s, and after 10 minutes 3km/s. Of course you still have to deaccelerate, which would take up half the time.
It's generally a dupe when everybody learnt about Zeta three months ago. Because/. eds are stupid, we get to live through it again, it doesn't matter if madpenguin just wrote it recently means that it happened recently. If I write something about the Declaration of Independence, does that mean it was only written recently? I think ((someone = stupid) == true) resolves to nonzero.
Well it looks like I'll be able to buy one of these for my external USB HDD interface. This technology has applications everywhere, although I think hard disk drives are about to go boom and then bust, as evidenced by the 500gb beast we just saw on/., up from a 300gb HDD. +200gb in a few months? We need a Moore's law for HDDs.
I just love it when/. whores out the top-n lists which are always the be all-end all top-n lists. I don't care what some game editor thinks is the best game of all time, I'm not going to go out and buy it because he says "It's awesome, lol!!!!111one!", I'm going to buy it because I walk into the store, look at the box, read the back of it, drive home, and download it.
I figured that. But I can't be bothered changing the font to Times New Roman rel -2pt just for/. And is it really going to kill slashcode to have font-family: sans-serif; in the CSS?
Soon we're going to need a seperate category on/. for this. Maybe we can change the font from Times New Roman to something "nano". Although if the/. eds can't do it for the frontpage, what can they do it for? Interesting stuff though.
I was listening to a commentry by Dvorak about this, and he believes that Microsoft shouldn't worry about Google because it can't compete against it anyway. Apparently the Google bot indexes websites 10x more than the MSN Search one. Although I wouldn't mind seeing a Microsoft search integrated 100% into Longhorn (we can't see a Google one obviously because of the above), but only if it was decent.
Is this is the way to solve the world's food problem? This way, everything will be non-perishable and suitable for shipping to developing countries.
Although this might be a pipe dream, since the Green Revolutions where meant to end food shortage.

It's already hit 00:00:00 for me. How old since this article was submitted to /.? And I don't see anything. Maybe it's just FF 1.5B

The names from the rover missions are considered unofficial titles, but for some of the larger landmarks, they have stuck.

How about we change the Times New Roman and whatever default font *nix uses to like font-family: sans-serif;

You mean besides the fact that the binaries were removed as soon as they found out?
Yes. That's exactly it
From the article: The infected files have now been removed, but it took some time.

This is where it would be good to have Microsoft SQL Server 200nexGen with it's non-relational database and prediction capabilities.

/. is OSS.
Of course it is,
