  1. Re:The Madness Continues on Why Your e-Books Are No Longer Yours · · Score: 1

    How about this as a solution:
    If the company can prove that they receive > 50% of their income from a specific copyright, they can keep it forever.
    Otherwise, it expires in 10 years, period.

  2. No checkpoints at all on $500,000 Prize for Faster Airport Security Checks · · Score: 1

    Pretty simple. New airport, no security. Only planes with secure cockpits. Passengers sign liability waiver. Any attempt to hijack said aircraft triggers code from pilot to have auto-destruct mechanism activated.

    Alternative: have the attendant button be a trigger. If 2/3s of the passengers push the button within 10 seconds, boom.

  3. Re:Whatever on Microsoft Should Abandon Vista? · · Score: 1

    Not everyone hates mac zealots. In any case, everyone was posting about how hard it was to capture a single frame from a movie. Since I have done exactly that, and it wasn't hard, I thought I'd share. But, this being slashdot, some dweeb has to poke up their head from the endless compiles needed to capture that frame to complain about how easy it is somewhere else, or more accurately to attack the person who lets others in on the secret that they're wasting their time.

    Of course you could boot up into OS X and use iMovie to save the frame. :-)

  5. IE 7+ on Quiz Microsoft's IE Team Leader · · Score: 4, Interesting

    First, thank you for the efforts the team has already put in. I'm pretty sure that the two features that will provide the biggest benefit to developers, and by extension the users, namely better CSS (hopefully some CSS3) support and moving to the W3 standard event model, will be addressed in the next version of IE. My two part question: Do you have any ETA on the next version, and is there any possibility of adding pieces to IE7 via Windows Update? I recognize changing the event model is not really an option here, but adding support for say border-radius or opacity css support seems like it would be a fairly innocuous change.

  6. Re:The only time I see myself paying for this.... on CBS, NBC to Offer TV Shows for 99 Cents · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'd consider paying $0.99 to watch BSG in HD. NBC showed a couple of hours at the beginning of last season, and I was blown away.
