People are really THAT LAZY these days they cannot rip the damn CD's themselves???
Having a company rip a CD for you: $10
Amount of time it would take you to do it yourself: 5 minutes
Knowing you paid money for something you could do in the time it takes to mastubate without paying: Pricless
There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there is/.
Poor RoR got/.'ed, poor, poor them, maybe next time they could get a better server and internet connection huh???? Ever heard of http://www.mirrordot.org/ It's MAGIC!!! Now, back to the real story, RoR looks quite promising, a blog engine in 58-lines of code certainly gets me excited.
All hail the Creative Commons, if I were in a band, that would be our lisence, DRM is always to restrictive and drives down the numbers of people who listen to your music. The DRM on iTunes is pretty fair, but it has to be played in iTunes or a iPod because of it, generic MP3 players are left out, this is the restrictive part to me. DRM had it's place, and it is worth it in some cases, but in it's current state it is not Play(ing) Fair to consumers. And how did the parent get marked redundant, it is the first non-stupid post in the thread, do we have rouge mods again?
The average, now AVERAGE, obviously if you visit/. you are NOT 'average' person doesn't care about DRM, UNLESS it contains a Rootkit or it prevents them from doing something they should be able to do, like ripping a CD to copy to your MP3 player. Also just to shut people up about Sony and the rootkit, don't blame all of Sony, for one they didn't know(maybe?), and second only Sony BMG is to blame, Sony Electronics etc.. do their own thing and had nothing to do about it. Anwyas, the only part of the parent that will matter to a 'average' consumer is cost.
Wow Tux lovers as mods...I don't know if that's good or bad, but considering this IS/. it doesn't suprise me, but honestly the parent shouldn't have gotten modded troll, and to improve his post; install Windows, but in VMWare, that would make the Tux lovers happier(including me). But a REAL way to increase productivity using Linux, Evolution + Firefox + Gnome, everything a Linux user at work should need, minus OpenOffice, forgot that.
THE LEGO PC, our lego-brick structure makes adding that new hard-drive and video card a *snap*. No longer will you have to deal with cables, our patented block power and data-transfer system codenamed LPCI(Lego PCI) can support even the most bandwith and power hungry components.
I agree with everything you said. But the general population of Mac users(obviously ones that aren't on/. for one) think they are invunerable to viruses, worms, etc... that was my point, but thanks for the insightful look on the subject.
OK, it was bound to happen, Mac users are now VUNERABLE TO HACKERS/VIRUSES, now it is time for all of you to stop saying, nothing can touch us 'cause we have Macs. Granted, this ism't a bug in the OS, but might as well be one. Anyways, I'm just trying to say, no matter how onscure the OS your PC is running now, when it gains more followers, a hole will be discovered, explotied, etc.
The only 'damage' it has caused so far is a nasty torgan using the rootkit, we all hate DRM, but with so much piracy you can't blame them. I agree that Sony went to far and they have realized their mistakes, I hope this will show the other record companies a thing or two, WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!!!
NOW a mod finally uses their mod points on me to mod this post down as troll, instead of using them on my other non-trollish posts??? Is all of Slashdot going to hell, or do we just have a bad batch of mods?
XUL is a Javascript/XML language, if it was (LUA, PHP, PYTHON)/XML I'd really be happy, I already new about XUL, but a different scripting language to use in it would be nice, IMHO Javascript just isnt enough for web applications these days, getting off-topic so I quit here
Why is it that someone who says the exact same thing I said a few posts up gets modded insightful, but I get nothing??? Are the mods THAT lazy??? But agreed, no ActiveX is one of the largest advantage of Firefox, along with its alternative XUL is sandboxed and can do most of the stuff ActiveX can do with a little coding.
Slashdot Mirror
4. ??? :P
5. PROFIT!!!
Oh wait, didn't you mean to say that
Isn't this basically the same as traditonal gas-power, but the cars are using the gas? Of course I never RTFA. Nothing to see her folks, move along.

How much pr0n can you store and watch on it? No seriously, isn't that what DSP is for, making pr0n more vibrant and clear?

I wonder how much time it will take for the mods to mod this down, I give them 1 minute.

You can turn JAXA into AJAX using only two moves. Anyways....why did they send the probe up anyways
