It can't be mirrored. Harry Fox got his fangs into lyrics.ch a few years ago and forced them to serve the lyrics through a java applet that won't allow saving or cut-and-paste. That means no wget, and no cut-and-paste jobs. Your only hope is some sort of automated link-clicking script combined with a packet sniffer. It would probably be simpler (and legally safer) to just do a clean rewrite of the whole site in a country with less stringent copyright laws.
Perhaps you forget that we're talking about lyrics, not the actual music. With Napster, you actually could just download mp3s, have the music, and never pay the artists a dime. All you get from lyrics.ch is, well, the lyrics. It's not at all the same.
I mean it's not as if anybody thinks to him/herself "I really like this song, but I'm feeling like a cheapskate today, so I'll just go read the lyrics instead"

You don't kill terrorists to punish them, you kill them to get rid of them! The more terrorists you kill, the less terrorism there will be. Duh!
You're right! That tactic worked so well for Isreal, they've run out of terrorists to kill!
Dumbass.
Pure FUD.
Linux has supported bongs with any number of chambers since kernel 2.4.1 The generic waterpipe driver has been re-written from the ground up to support bongs up to 1024 inches. The only trouble items are the so-called winpipes. These pipes don't have an actual bowl, they're just an empty tube and a driver that makes windows *act* like it's stoned. Due to poor real-world performance and their unsatisfactory smoking experience, they are unlikely to ever be supported.
Hookah support for multiple users is now available through the tokin' ring network device. The new tokin' ring driver also supports 128-bit encryption of the smokestream, to prevent "sniffing" of the connection by local police.
We do. If you have four gas stations on a block in the U.S. three of them will have diesel. Timothy would be sitting in front of the fourth, whining about how hard it is to find diesel here.
Both sides put up a good argument on which is dead and not
If people think your game is dead, they aren't the ones you want to play with anyway. Let 'em go play the latest and greatest eye-candy shooter, and leave Q1 and Q2 to the real fans.
Yeah, Quake is dead. Punk is dead too, now go back to listening to your crappy top-40 "alternative" and leave us alone.
If it's so easy to get the information why is CDDB the only one who did the work to actually do it?
They didn't. The information in the database was submitted by users. That's why people were so upset when gracenote decided they owned copyright on the database.
There is an old proverb (Swahili, I think) that says "when elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers". We, the users of the internet are the grass, and we're going to get trampled by both sides as they grapple for total domination of the net. Brace yourself, it's going to get ugly.

Terrorism n. The use of force or threats, etc. esp. as a political policy. (Webster's New World Dictionary)
It sounds like it would be hard to be pro-Iseralerrorism, since their domestic policy toward the Palstinians is terrorism. Piss us off and we'll bulldoze some civillian's house? WTF tactical genius came up with that strategy? All Isreal is doing is ensuing that it will have another generation of Palestinian terrorists to justify the existence of their police state.
Turner has finally pulled his head out and realized that our mindless support of Isreal is unjustified. Now colorizing "Casablanca" - that was unforgivable!:)
If I remember correctly the molecular structure of glass is a mess, just a bunch of random bonds everywhere. I can't remember what the term for such a substance was. "amorphous", I think
But then we know how technically literate US federal judges are...
Prosec: "When we examined the system."
Defens: "Objection: Prove that the system was not tampered with or completely ghosted by a backup system between the time of the events in question and the time the material was secured."
Judge: Counselor, if you don't stop spouting electronic gobbledygook, I'll have you held in contempt. The prosecution may continue.
Most CS guys are just as immature as that cheerleader. Just wait 'till you get to an analysis of algorithms class, and learn about the "big O" (worst-case running time for an algorithm, and the butt of many CS jokes)!
I can't understand how 'Rip, Mix, Burn' doesn't violate any copyright laws
Maybe you've forgotten because of all the propaganda surrounding the napster case and the RIAA, but there is a legal doctrine called "fair use". If you own a CD, it is within your legal rights to rip a few tracks from that disc and burn them onto a mix CD. It's no different from making mix tapes to listen to in a car without a CD player. As long as you're ripping from CDs you own, it's legal. Don't listen to the RIAA's 'all copying is piracy' line. They're full of sh*t.
a suborbital parabola is cheaper in energy than an orbital hyperbola while still allowing the nation that fired the shot to have claimed that it reached space Not to mention that both the USSR and the US already had rockets made to fly a parabolic suborbital trajectory. They're called ICBMs.
It's coming. DirectX support is underway. The new cvs versions of wine can use hardware acceleration for Direct3D games. I've seen screenshots and howtos (don't have the address handy, sorry) for setting up Half-Life to run under wine.
The party's over as soon as the ad-ware people figure out how to use the banner images as a decryption key to unlock part of the program. Then, not only will your ad-ware fail to work without it's constant ad supply, but it will be illegal under the DMCA for you to try to crack those restrictions because they are used as encryption to control access to a copyrighted work.
Furthermore, what is this "violation of international law" that the Chinese officials keep yapping about?
The Chinese claim that their territoral waters (and airspace) extend out 200 miles from the coast. The US recognizes only the 12-mile limit set by international treaty (don't know if China ever signed that treaty, though). Therefore, the navy claims their plane was in international airspace, and the Chinese claim it was inside their territory, in violation of international law.
One part of the review caught my eye: "That's right, the Linux operating system that works so phenomenally well for web servers (including the two running the Brighthand web site) grinds to a halt in this version "
You missed the "open six or more (apps)..." bit of that line. First off, who in the hell would run 6 apps at a time on a tiny screen like that. Also, it hardly seems fair to slam linux for not being ably to cram 6 apps into a pathetic amount of RAM, and juggle 6 tasks on that CPU.
a whole slew of stable, fast and good wordprocessor will become available for UNIX
A slew? I'd settle for Kword not crashing every 5 minutes. Koffice has a great design (lifted straight from M$, but hey, go with what works), and in terms of control over layout and embedding pictures, graphs or tables, kword is lightyears ahead of Abiword, but it's just not stable enough.
Yea, but before Daylight-savings-time Slashdot was on eastern time. Are you telling me it as a sudden unannouced descion for slashdot to move to Central time?
The slashdot crew lives in Michigan, which is in central time. The physical servers are in California, which is in Pacific time. If you see times in Easter time, it's because you set them that way in your preferences.

As soon as the rest of their dev team gets out of Azkaban.
