But people are going to believe it. They don't know any better and they don't care. Most people just want a computer that works and if they have to sell their soul to get it, they will. Especially if Microsoft says it's "for their protection".
Ah, but it's a way to appease fate, not tempt it. All the little rockets are a sacrifice to the God of Explosions. They make it safe for the Big Rocket to launch.

Neither do I. IANAL, but I think it's just someone trying to take a personal issue and make it a legal one.
The database is still there and lookups still work. For now at least.

Thanks a lot for that! Also, freedb is still accepting lookup requests, at least for now. I guess things aren't that bad. It's just weird to see a project that I thought was stable end so suddenly.
True, but all CD info databases have that problem, some more than others. But still, freedb was cool for when you just want to *play* a CD without ripping it. (Yep, people still do that.)
That sucks. I hope that freedb2 will be compatable with the old freedb protocol. Pretty much every open source tagger/ripper/whatever I know of uses freedb.
Then again, maybe it's time for MusicBrainz to take over.:)
Slashdot Mirror
True, I've always thought the en dash (-) was kind of useless since it looks so much like a hyphen (-).
It's not even regional. I find myself pronouncing "the" slightly differently in different contexts. (Should I say "thee" or "thuh"?)
I have an idea. Maybe Slashdot could get some editors. Then they could read the stories ahead of time and fix errors.
When password crackers are outlawed, only outlaws will have password crackers.
O RLY?
Wouldn't an SCO box be $666?
Well, put it on the scale and let us know how much it weighs. :)
Your kid reads Slashdot?? Him seeing the word "shit" is the least of your problems.
There's a difference?

Kind of like early versions of Windows?
Yeah, but maybe the reason they still the old games around is because they're still fun. (Galaga, anybody?)
But does it explain about the tubes? And what to do if someone sends you an internet?
Hmm, somebody sent me an internet, but it took forever to get here. There was a WHOLE DAMN BOOK in front of it in the tubes!

Which is better for the Chinese, a censored Google, or no Google at all due to firewalling? I guess it's just a matter of opinion.
Er, was that the sound of a chair being thrown?
