Yep. Considering the only video on YouTube that doesn't look like utter crap is professionally shot and probably violating copyright laws, you are correct. I still don't know how Google thinks they will make any money off this...
If a CD has DRM on it, it must state that on the outside packaging - at least in the USA. And they are not aloowed to use the "Compact Disc" logo, as the previous poster mentioned.
"The iPod can only play purchased music from iTunes or a independent music source."
Or any other source if it is a non DRM MP3 - like ripping it yourself, or downloading a ripped version. Not sure if that's what you meant, but it sounded like you were saying that ONLY songs purchased from ITMS would play on the iPod.
Does anyone really still harbor the illusion the jail is for rehabilitation?? Jail is for revenge and punishment... oh, and to learn how to become a better criminal, and make better criminal connections...
"Enron guys go to some country-club prison at taxpayer expense for a few months"
Well, CEO Jeffrey Skilling was sentenced to more than a few months, he got 24 years - or 288 months to be exact. And former CFO Andrew Fastow was given a 6 year term after cooperating with prosecutors and helping them secure Skilling's conviction - or 72 months. Ken Lay would have probably got at least 10+ years, but the bastard died before we could punish him. Skilling also faces a possible $18 million dollar fine - still less than he bilked investors and workers out of though...
Yep, I put Startup Control Panel on every machine I maintain at the university I work at. Much simpler than digging through the registry and much faster than using msconfig. Thank you Mike Lin!
Why are people so stupid? Gore never claimed he "invented" the internet, merely that he help with legislation regarding it. And WTF does a BBS have to do with DARPA/AARPA/Internet anyways? Do you want a cookie? You apparently do not have a clue about the history of the internet - but don't let that stop you from repeating false information at every opportunity you get. This is after all, Slashdot.
Really?? Did you buy a copy of OS X last time you bought a smart phone? No? Then I think that selling a license of OS X with every one of these phones sold would certainly boost OS X's sale numbers. If someone who deosn't own a Mac buys one of these phones, they wouldn't have bought a copy of OS X anyways. And even if they did already own a Mac with OS X, that menas they have then bought 2 licenses. How exactly is that not driving sales of OS X?
"Allowing a crime is far from facilitating it."
Exactly. A White Pages book could technically allow a murderer to find his victim's address. Does that mean Ma Bell is an accomplice to murder??
And my employer's perspective also. I have a $50,000 life insurance policy they would have to pay off. That money could buy a quite impressive RAID setup. Plus, last time I checked online, I was pretty much "out of stock" everywhere.
"Wherefrom do you think laws come?"
Laws come from congress, and are passed by representatives voted in.
"And why is it that you believe that a handful oligarchs which are selected based on their ignorance and heritage and not their merit are doing a better job than the majority?"
Why is it that you believe all elected congressmen are "oligarchs which are selected based on their ignorance and heritage" ?? That is just ridiculous. The people that pass laws are voted in by their respected states. If the majority of people want and "oligarch " than they can elect that person. Is the majority right or wrong then?
"Why is it that you do not realize that the more people have to decide, the less probable is action and that inaction is in most cases the preferable course of action?"
Why is it that you do not realize that sometimes the majority isn't always right?? For instance, the majority of American citizens are Christian. Does that mean it would be okay for the majority to outlaw every other religion?? Sometime laws need to be passed specifically to protect the minorities from the majories...Do some fact checking before you shoot your mouth off, Coward.

Damn submit instead of preview button... That should read "tripled" and not "tirpled"...
Or just wait a month and it will be 4.2 trillion reais....
I lived in Rio de Janeiro in 1993 and my American currency tirpled in value in about 6 months...
Debit card + overdraft protection at bank = problem solved without need for one-time number generator.
Sony = new /. Microsoft?

"the threat of anal rape is the bedrock of the justice system."
So how does that explain criminals who are gay bottoms?
Damn, and I used up all my mod points yesterday....All I can offer now is my kudos...
You have apparently never met a meth head before - naked, in a Starbucks, disassembling their clock radio "to let all the little people out"...
"Can you please specify the PC brand that has 50% problems."
That would be the one he just made up in his head.

Try to make them so obscure, that even Douglas Adams fans won't get them...
I can save them a lot of time and expense - the answer is 42.
