As someone who's spent a bit more than a decade dumbing down user interfaces(among other things) I can attest that being tech savvy doesn't imply any talents at all
Give-away-the-recordings-to-sell-the-shows works if your shows are interesting and varied enough to attract a regular audience
Exactly
I'm more surprised to hear about it working in a country where "GDP_per_capita some_limit" than the reverse.
Well, in those countries there isn't much of a choice, really. Either you do it that way, or you go bust.
Virus isn't life. Upgrade your argument to bacteria.
The preciousness of life is inversely proportional to genetical distance between you and the (possible) victim. Having common kids counts as very short genetic distance (although technically it's not short at all, unless..uhm, let's not talk about that)
Wake me up when we have artificial womb good enough to make pregnancy obsolete - that'll revolutionize the society... in a scary way. All these "I love my sex toy" stories are about fringes of society.
why MS seem to be doing this case by case. rather than a full-frontal assault Perhaps to sustain fear, rather than have all patent issues resolved at once
It could be very interestingly dangerous though - like mp3, sue linux distro's until they have no functionality left and problem solved, who would want to use a linux desktop that has nothing worth while anymore? PLF users?
Even if Japanese were the worst plane builders in the world, they'd not sleep, eat, and would beat themselves bleeding, rebuilding the damn plane until it's better than the US one.
I find your choice of Japanese movies alarming. Too much BDSM is no good. Try something else. Tentacle porn, for example.
Tough luck! 500 mln years at most. I'm not talking about the Red Giant phase. I'm talking about gradual temperature rise due to hydrogen being replaced with heavier helium. Global warming will be hardly noticeable comparing to that. And by the way, the last time we had a significant rise in global temperature (with catastrophic consequences), we had to adapt. So the civilisation was born. I hope we won't repeat our mistake.
We *need* this goddamn world. You won't lose it during your life time. In the long run, the Sun gets hotter, so will Earth, and there's nothing you can do about it. Earth is a lost cause, get over it.
This is slashdot. The article is about Antarctica. Penguins live in Antarctica. And this is slashdot. Antarctica-penguins-slashdot. Slashdot-penguins-Antarctica. See why we're concerned?

SELECT country_name, "Pop Music Scene Thrives on Piracy" FROM countries WHERE GDP_per_capita < some_limit
can we just skip all the "In Soviet Russia..." jokes? Regulars don't find them funny
Ok, but only once

They won't go there themselves, they'll hire a cockroach crew to film the test.
If you still can't find a reply button - uncheck "try new slashdot discussion system"(or something like that) in your preferences
Never seen it. I'll try to find it, thanx.

PLF users?
just a few hours after I wiped out Numenta's software from my HDD
These are not pixelated regions. That's how Japanese gals/guys actually look down there...
well, actually not using fancy photoshop filters instead of good old black squares is safe enough
the only plausible explanation is that Ballmer can't read, I guess...
That's pretty smart of you, young man. But can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these?

No chance, dude! In Soviet Russia Sakhalin takes you!

/me goes back to playing with WinUAE
Thank God it's in the prefs.
School is boring. So is work, so it makes sence. On a separate note
HELP!
How can I disable this fucking slashdot's new discussion system?!

Toss away old dihydrogen monoxide petitions, it's time to save Ozone Hole!
