Isn't it about time some of the world governments started calling bullshit on these fucking American sons of bitches who brag about their hundreds years of "liberty", yet who treat their own people like criminals? Whenever they're criticized about their human rights records, they demand retractions so they can "save face" -- i.e. not be shown to have their panties bunched around their ankles. Or they call it "an internal matter". But when the NY Times calls them to answer up, they scream and holler and throw a hissy fit and demand their methods not be reveales and that they get apologies for the mere uncovering of the truth.
I hope that's Greatest Hits as in the greatest instanced of someone hitting Paris Hilton with a blunt object repeatedly and at great length; I can't imagine any other kind of hit that would be associated with her.
One of the games we used to play at school when we were 12 or 13 involved running from wall to wall along the space between two sets of mobile clasrooms (about a 40 yard by 10 yard space); one person would be designated 'it' and have to try and stop at least one other person from getting to the other wall each time a run was made, which basically meant tackling them and bringing them to the ground, or at least pushing and trapping them against the side walls- it usually meant some kind of head-on rugby tackle, and this was tarmac'd (asphalted) ground.
As more and more people were designated 'it', it meant at the end, one or two people were rushing headlong into 10 or 12 people trying to tackle them. Super happy fun time:D
No-one was ever really injured, no blood was ever drawn, and it was one of the best damned games we ever devised.
I think these parents and lawyers would have a fit if they saw that being played.
Did anyone else read the headline as a Ramone virus and imagine some kind of virus that either deletes all iTunes songs by The Ramones (eep) or brings up a BSOD reading

I brought home a shiny new copy of Guitar hero to play on my youngest sister's PS2 a coouple of months ago, since I lack the console but wanted to give it a lash; we gathered round the TV and started up the game, and it fell to me, 5'11 and 120 kilos to strap on this teeny plastic guitar, to some sniggering. The sniggers were soon replaced by 'me next, me next', as the whole family (minus parents) got up to play. We had a ball.
If i can strap on a plastic guitar and attempt Smoke on the Water fir the first tim in front of my nearest and dearest, then I think Wii players can handle using the Wiimote in front of other people to go fishing in Zelda (^^)
1. You can download iTunes without Quicktime. No one is forcing you install it.
2. Quicktime is necessary for viewing video in iTunes.
3. Quicktime is one of the most versatile players on the market. It was the first way of reliably playing most of best codecs; MPEG-4 and H.264 were both supported way ahead of their time. It's also a neat editor and file conversion tool if you choose to pay the incredibly measly $29 for the tool.
Ireland has one of the highest literacy rates and educational standards in the world. University education is free (actually you get paid to go- everyone gets a grant of about $6,000 a year) we have one of the highest University attendance rates per member of population in the world.
We also have one of the highest rates of economic growth on the planet, and have a democratically elected govornment (unlike the good ol' U.S of A, who even managed to elect a Cletus-clone as president).
Oh, I forgot, Americans have one of the lowest foreign travel rates in the world, and most of you couldn't find Canada on a map. I really shouldn't have expected more.
You don't get killed for being the wrong flavour of Christian, you die for being either a Nationalist or a Loyalist, which tends to run along the same lines.
It's not only an excellent point, it's the point. I can't see Sony getting their online service right for another year- they need a unifying framework that all of their game developers can use to provide one login, one matchmaking service and one game update platform.
Microsoft had it 80% sussed with the Xbox (there was no tangible dashboard, but the basic core was there) and are doing extremely well with the 360's service; sony have, it seems, only reached the 30% mark:|
Gogle video *does* have ads; they've been letting people watch clips every day that would ordainarily have to be paid for- you watch an ad and then get to watch the clip.
It has the dual effect of generating ad. revenue and allowing users to access content which they may later consider buying regularly.
Slashdot Mirror
From outer space? :p
Shaving ads..... a science unto themselves.
Well since it was free...... as in cake I guess they did :D
If that's the case, we need to find out who's originating all these ideas and use theirs!
Is there anyone out there? Heloo?
Yes, but will the revolution be televised?
Bullshit.

This is slashdot, consider it a bonus if a poster is actually wearing anything over their underwear ;)
That's the second time that's beeen posted on the site this week; I posted it on the Iraq translation machineybob. Ta!
What if you could put multiple chips like these in one machine?
;)
They'd probably be obsolete in three months, as opposed to one month

Every time you launch iTunes
And in the naked light I saw
Ten rounds of chemo, maybe more
Tumor growing without shrinking
Pack a day, what was I thinking?
Things are going wroooong,
I'm loosing all my hair....
It's not fair
This is the sound... of Cancerrr
