How much do you think they're paying Zonk for this extra marketing? I'm willing to bet that at least Zonk and Taco, and maybe a few other editors, will have comped 360s arriving on their doorsteps within the next week or two.
Dude! You can't call dupe for an article that was posted on a different site. If that were the case then everything on slashdot would be a dupe. Oh, wait...
It's actually a reasonably capable program (obviously, since it's used in situations like this). But yes, it's generally considered to be the retarded cousin to Adobe Illustrator.
I realize the link is a joke, but it doesn't hit too far from the truth. I'm amazed that someone hasn't tried to outlaw footballs or baseballs. After all, there's a good chance of death resulting from their proper usage.
Your reasoning is just as flawed as saying If ManExist == true, then DinosaursExist == true. Different forms of life have existed at different periods in time.
How very true. I used to live in Venice, CA, and would get offered tickets to half a dozen different shows every time I went down to the boardwalk (which was often, I had an early shift). I never took any of them up, but I could've seen tons of gameshows and bad sitcoms live had I wanted to. I'm sure there were crappy awards show tickets available, too.
Yes, it is. Keep in mind that most plant fossils are merely imprints of the plant (or seeds or spores), which means that the mud/silt/ash had to dry and harden before the organic matter decomposed. For some types of plants this works because the outer skins are tougher (think bark or stalky plants). With grass, it's pretty much all soft material, meaning it will usually decompose before a good imprint can be made. Another side to this is that many fertile grass-growing regions are not exactly conducive to preservation. Also, grass fossils have been found, just not dating back to the Cretaceous (145-65M years ago). This is the first indication that grass did exist back then, and had existed long enough to have diversified.
Thanks for the link. However, this was one of a whole 3 articles that comes up for a google news search for "sony bmg rootkit merger". Also, the article doesn't particularly offer a whole lot of proof that it was BMG that brought this along, other than saying that BMG has used DRM in the past. It should be noted that ALL of the (now 4) major labels have used forms of DRM in the past...
Could you please point to your source regarding BMG being the ones who brought DRM into the picture? You make it sound like Sony is new to the music game. They've been at it for a very long time, via the Sony Group, Columbia Records, Epic Records, and many imprints that fall under those labels.
Actually, I can think of one example that flies right in the face of this. Interpol's first CD was released at the whopping $10 price point (and was initially on sale many places for as low as 7 bucks). It was a pretty strong album (not quite my cup of tea, but that's besides the point). The exposure that they got from that album and it's related pricing certainly helped them out a fair bit...
I knew someone who got a free machine through a similar program run by PeoplePC around 1999-2000. It was a modestly speced machine for the time (low-mid end). IIRC, PeoplePC abandoned the program after a year or two and told everyone they could keep the machines.

...and allows those of us with large digital music collections an easy way to get from PC->Stereo without any special hardware.
Funny, I'd consider needing an Xbox 360 and a Windows Media Center equipped PC "special hardware."
Why the repeated references to dry lake beds?

Loud doesn't = right
lemme say that again for Jack's benefit
LOUD DOESN'T = RIGHT
Alright, alright. We got it. You're right! : p
Others have said he's not sincere and so many other [nasty] things. Some outside America have called him a chimp! Will he sue them?
But he's not sincere, and he is a chimp. These are facts that can be proven in a court of law. That's exactly why he won't try to sue them.
Yeah, so do I. Oh wait: MAKE comes from O'Reilly, the Publisher of Record for geeks and tech enthusiasts everywhere.
Serval cats are cooler looking.
Oh you would, would you?
Love this line from TFA: The laser cutter uses Corel Draw, which is kinda cute.

You'd be surprised. Documentaries of these professionals in action seem to sell very well.
They got one award right:

I don't remember that movie though...

Hey! He was gonna be my example!
Correction: somebody is making more off ringtones than itunes songs. I highly doubt it's the artist...
