MP3's are a proprietary format, not content unlike the movies made just for the AppleSoup service. They aren't going to be showing the Matrix they are going to show their own shows.

Ok this is a good idea, take video and share it like Napster. However,
1. They want to charge people.
Noone is going to want to pay for this, especially since it's
2. Proprietary Content
This won't be a place to shoot around your vcd dump of The Matrix, they are going to distribute their own content. Until they are putting up some kind of programming that people know and like there is no hook for people to sign up in the first place. People loved Napster because it's easy to get something that (and this is important) they want for nothing. This program doesn't seem to offer that, and if Valenti jr. is involved, you can believe that they will be keeping close tabs on what goes through the service.
I got an idea, why don't you get a life? You just wish you could have a +1 bonus like us elite uber-posters do. Idiots like you who seem to think that the karma system affords you something outside of this web page.....
Scene: Linux Expo, Andover Booth, Rob and the gang are playing Diablo 2 on their win2k boxes.
Rob"Guys, go to tux screensaver here comes some SlashBots!!!"
All hit their hotkeys. Up comes Joe Slashbot, With a CD full of Slashcode, looking for an autograph.
Joe"Hey guys, uhh remember me? I uhh, like posted that +5 insigtful comment about why Microsoft will never be as cool as Linux?"
Rob"Yeah sure right uh huh."
Joe"Yeah my karma is up over thirty now, and I have the +1 bonus!! Now everyone can see what I right!!
Rob and company nod and smile, and begin to crack jokes as the Slashbot wanders off. Once he is safely out of range Rob goes back to checking his E*Trade account, and the rest go right back to Diablo 2.
What is your problem? This post was not redundant. Not interesting maybe but not redundant. What the hell are your problems? You know sometimes I'm glad for the bitchslap.

You realize you are just splitting hairs here. You sound like ESR trying to force cracker on everybody instead of hacker. Hentai is simply a subset of Anime, but it is anime none the less. Sorry but movies about tentacles raping 15 year old girls is kiddie porn. Have you ever seen Kekko Kamen? That is some disgusting pedophilia.
Well they don't support the business edition of it because it includes PeachTree which IIRC isn't ported. But wordperfect home version is still available. There is no reason for them to drop Linux support if they are selling a version of Linux!
So you don't think weed laced with opium can lead to regular opium use which can lead to Heroin?
You don't think that E laced with coke leads to regular usage of coke? Don't tell me that it doesn't and don't point to studies. I've lived it and the story is the same everytime. Of course not EVERYBODY becomes a crack head if you hit a joint. But I've seen it again again and again, and I'm tired of it.
feel that it is imperative that we do not allow our rights to be gradually taken away, one by one
However I would argue that my rights are taken away by drug users who drive, drug users who assault me on the street, crack users who have children, destroying lives before they are born...
Well that's kind of my point, sorry if it was unclear.
I am against censorship.
I am against drugs.
I am against web sites that promote DIY drugs.
I am against big government.
But something has to be done. I do all I can to educate, but as long as criminals are coddled in the courts, and people aren't educated as to the REAL effects of drugs are, I take any solutions I can get.
I am a drug using geek. I think it's pretty hypocritical for people to be "anti-drug" and then go out and get hammered on a saturday night
. I have to take issue with this. As a recovering heroin addict, I watched many a friend pass out and never awaken based on having a little too much, air in the needle, etc.. Yes I know there is a difference between weed and heroin. Yes I know that alcohol is addictive and damaging. But to be a part of an "anti-anti-drug movement" is just too much. I've seen way too many lives destroyed by the horrors of real drugs. You can call me weak or say I have no will power, but I am not the only one out there who has been addicted to something. These people need help. Drugs must be stopped at all costs. Weed Shrooms and E are all gateways to a much much worse area of society.
Well besides an idealogical perspective what is the problem between the two? Either allows you to do pretty much whatever you want with the software, so what are you worried about? Just curious this isn't a flame or anything.
Did anyone think this test was kind of...I don't know stupid? I mean, what's the point of giving up numbers like "2-3 times faster" or "much better" That's not a benchmark. The author went into detail about the setup and then proceeded to not give any real detail about what happened. He aldo didn't really say what a connection was, was it being banged at constantly every second? Were they lagged to account for reading the data it was pulled up?
. Threading wasn't invented in universities, and MIT didn't write the most-promogulated implementation; Microsoft did, and first!
Who said that?
Moreover, I'm glad you cleared up everyone's misconceptions about multitasking - I'll never look at pre-emption the same way again! Damn those researchers for lying to us, and damn those vendors for selling us multitasking systems since the mid 70's!
What are you talking about and who are you responding too?
I could care less what any of you use, I'm a BSD man myself, but your post was neither insightful, informative, interesting, or funny. It wasn't even on topic relevant to what the parent had said. Why don't you just admit that you took this opportunity to flame an MS user trying to get some cheap karma?
Of all companies to hate, I don't think this is one of them. Why? The Ronald McDonald House.
Here in Cleveland the RMH is a wonderful hospital for children (part of the University Hospital Systems). RMH provides amazing care for children who otherwise would have to spend most of their lives in sterile hospital beds next to 90 year old heart patients. They also provide entertainment, recreation, and rehabilitation. Now granted it is not free or anything, but many of the facilities there would not exist without the McDonald's corporation. Sure they are big business and we are supposed to hate them, but at least here, they are doing the Right Thing(tm).
I think that while it is good that the FTC is getting involved, I think a little bit of caveat emptor as well as some common sense needs to be applied when people purchase things.
Everytime you buy one of these "free pc's" you have to sign a contract. I don't know about some people, but when I sign a contract I read it. Anything that is not stated in the contract cannot apply to the deal being made. Unfortunately people sign things without reading them. They forget that they are bound to do with these contracts say. They get screwed by extra charges, they get pissed. Sorry but I think that's their problem.
and I found it especially amusing when you claimed that Japan, in particular, is so similar to the US that it can be thrown out in the "well traveled" competition.
Wow are you stupid. I said economically it is similar to the US. If you are going to deny that you really are an ignorant fool. I said the same for Australia. The UK and Canada are culturally very similar to the US and yes it goes beyond language. You are also very ignorant for assuming I am an American.
8/10 of THE MOST POPULAR "kkk" matches have nothing to do with Nathan Forrest's little hate group.
The search I did did not yield those same results, the first ten were ALL about the klan. And you say this like the KKK is somehow no longer a significant factor in the US. You act like the net escapes all hate groups, racism, sexism and everything else. Goddamn it even happens on this site. DId you read the India story? Did you see all the anti-Indian posts? By people who were logged in not some trolls? You are the typical ignorant fool who thinks that the internet is suddenly the great equalizer. You better wake up. All the hatred that exists in "meatspace" is right here, even on your precious little SlashDot.

I have visited five countries outside the US,
I addressed that earlier

I've visited Canada, The UK, Jamaica, and Australia on various vacations, and once visited Japan on business.
Bad argument. UK/Canada are too similar to the US. They are thrown out. Ditto for Japan, Australia (from an economic standpoint). That leaves Jamaica. I would be interested to know just how many indeginous people you saw online there, or did you never leave Kingston? Tell me, how many people are online in Uganda? In Haiti? In Mexico? Tell me about free internet access in Somalia, a country that can't feed it's own people. Tell me about free internet access in Uzbekistan, where terrorists are constantly attacking the government. You are a deluded fool.

, but I've seen enough of the world to know that genuinely underpriviliged people don't go around ranting about imperialism, don't use the word "egregious", don't try to play the guilt card and they sure don't read Slashdot. I also know that the Third World people who do behave that way invariably come from rich families, had a lifestyle I've never dreamed of for myself and obsessively project their guilt onto me. Of the two of us, I'm thinking exactly one grew up with a house full of servants. And it sure wasn't me.
