I don't see why the fine shouldn't be $1 million per song. The RIAA will collect that just as fast as they'll collect the $62,500 per song they were awarded in this case.
"I don't recall which book it was, but one of the stories I read recently had the phrase 'its soft pedals giving off a gentle fragrance', or some such"
I don't see the problem. (In the absence of further information, I am assuming that the author was describing a bike that had recently crashed into a mint patch.)
Every single person I know personally who saw it agrees that it either sucked or was mediocre (depending on which person I ask), but that they loved the special effects. I think 3D is completely worthless just like it was in the 50s with movies like Creature from the Black Lagoon, and I only made it through about 20 minutes of Avatar before I had to turn it off in disgust. You saying it was an "excellent film" makes another piece of my soul die.
The person you responded to made no value judgments whatsoever on this, but merely answered the question with facts. If your skin is this thin on the issue, perhaps Slashdot isn't the place for you.
The fuss is, religious people are crazy and things like this are somehow important to them.
On the other hand, I don't know why English Nature has a hard-on for the nearby field that might have had a house on it once. If the disturbed graves freak the religious nut out that much, let him relocate the damn badgers.
Valiant effort on Free's part, but I have to wonder how long it will be before the French government grabs its ankles for the corporations (again) and fixes the loophole.
Ah yes, like the CWA, which I was forced to either join or give an equal portion of my pay to charity. I chose the union because I figured maybe they would at least help me in the event of layoffs. So after the company laid off pretty much everyone, the union told me to get fucked when I asked about job placement, references, or anything else they could do to help keep me in telecom.
So I'm not against unions because of my slight libertarian leanings, I'm against them because the only behavior I've seen out of them is "fuck you, I got mine." You go join a union. I'm happy telling them to shove it.
I thought of that as I was running the tutorials, but then I saw the competition. Calculations for one or two gravitational influences aren't hard, but once you hit three it starts to get hideously complex. The competition has five influences (Earth, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and the sun) acting on the craft.

Sorry, Slashcode, I type much faster than 15 characters in 20 seconds, so here's a bunch of meaningless shit to take up more screen space until the time limit is used up. Doot doot de doo.

Yes, welcome to the joke.

That's a great price point to me. It did a lot less damage to the perceived value than the title did, at least for me.
And in this case, e-books will be 100% of sales for this title, because it isn't going to be published any other way.

"this probably isn't necessary for most of the Slashdot crowd"
Probably not, but that didn't stop three other people from pointing it out after you did.
"It would be ridiculous to say that politicians aren't also businessmen. Well, that seems to be all they're good at."
Judging by the plunging economy over the last decade, they suck at that too.

Ignorant, gullible people are paying for shit they don't need. Film at 11.
This is a not-at-all-terrible idea that will ensure people are up to date with such security patches as WGA. Bravo, Microsoft, bravo.
"If he doesn't have anything incriminating, why wouldn't he give up the password?"
Why should he have to give up his password if he doesn't have anything incriminating?
(It turns out that's a fundamental freedom guaranteed by the Magna Carta, which I believe still has some small influence in the UK.)
Bad idea, because investigators typically image the entire drive and attempt file access on the image, not the original.
I pay for cable. Your argument is invalid.
No, no, and hell no. I'll keep using the Usenet channel. Thanks anyway, google.

+5, Insightful.

"The first thing I notice is the binary string is a palindrome"
I noticed that too, from reading the summary.
"I suspect that this, along with the thorny issue of using now-capped bandwidth to serve ads, is going to put ad-supported apps out of business."
That would be a fucking tragedy.
> So what are they paying
FTA: "The command has a budget of about $120 million this year, and is scheduled to receive approximately $150 million in fiscal 2011."
So to answer your question, ($150M - overhead - equipment - military waste spending) / 1000 = $not very fucking much.
I think they'd be more concerned about your failure to learn basic English in elementary school than about your "gamming" habits.
