I am annoyed by how many people here that say they so much oppose censorship find this law to be a good thing. It's future abuses are clear, and the problems this may cause to websites (what if someone else joins a porn site with your email? Happens a lot more then you would think). I don't see anything about this other then blind internet censorship, ala China.
So congratulations porn people on fighting it! Sadly you stand no chance against the thinkofthechildren masses in the end.
I think their mobilization plan is "launch all vista", however in their haste they forget to patch vista... or maybe just "run out doors and run around in circles". Who knows, it's M$.
...or you can stop "feeding the trolls" so to speak and stop fighting them and let them live in peace. Iraq, Afghanistan, this new war... none of it is making them want to kill you less, you know. In the end, if they want to die and take you with them, they will. Simple as that.
Step 1: Do funny things.
Step 2: Upload the video to youtube or google video
Step 3: Wait for the YTMNDs to be made and the video to pop up all over.
Step 4: Post the original large file on your site.
And you will always have them on some geek's hard drive!
Same old bitchs, same old bitching. If they can't stop pirates with their DRM might (and they can't) they need to stop them some other way... there are many other ways if they stop thinking the old IP/DRM is the only way to go.
Come to think of it, the "drug addict from the middle of nowhere" plan maybe better. Goes a little like this...
Caller: "Hello sir, would you mind taking a short survey ab-"
You: "IT'S YOU!!! I know who you are! You are the aliens! Well listen here, you will never have me! NEVER!"
Caller: "Excuse me, I think you may have missundersto-"
You: "I know JUST FINE what you and your kin want! And you will never have it, hear me?!!???"
*If they don't hang up, hang up*
There was more to the Soviet Union then Russia... and Russia by itself is hardly any different then most other world nations. "There is worse" is not an excuse to become worse. Just like being best isn't reason to not be better.
Like they are NOW? They are just too blinded by power to see it. As they always will be. We need the gov to stop hand-holding them (like they do after a nice sized "donation" to the winning candidate...) and the problem will fix itself. But as long as the gov is helping them take out those who don't agree, we will keep seeing this BS on both ends.
The new age of white overpriced cars that only have 2 seats and can only go 40 MPH, but it will have a good sound system (that only works with Itunes) and the air condition controls will look uber hip.
We are sorry, windows has detected and error and needed to close the program.
A report of this event was cerated.

But knowing anything about graphics will tell you that just doesn't work. You will need 3+ times the power, NOT slightly more. A video card for each video out. There is still one way, make it a third as good (3rd the size/texture filtrating/etc)... but in the end, it's a big cost for little use, since the whole video process would need redefined to allow it in any case. One pipe in - one pipe out is quite diferent then 1 pipe in - 3 pipes out.
"What PC people don't understand (likely because they haven't bothered using a mac) is that EVERYTHING JUST WORKS on a mac."
My x86 apps and hardware without Mac drivers beg to differ. I have installed visual studio myself, and know many people who did, no problem. And you complan about lack of "1337 skills" on part of the users, WTF? You arn't installing a music player, you are installing a programing app. I would hope you know how to at least install the damn thing before you kill your computer with a syntax error in the C!

Yes... yes... I know, we are idiots. What can I say?

You can't make people happy about the alert system, because it's so stupid there literally is no right way to use it...

I guess we need to give Bush applause for only invading/starting wars in half the middle east.

And these are the people that bitch about software pirates! We are only doing the same as them, or if anything they are worse!
I agree, no love for Ipods here. Just trying to point out Apple's loss of any focus on real needs and rather focus on useless accessories/gimmicks.

Yeah, but still get the shit. :( Bush (+ gov and friends) is all the bad of voting with all the bad of dictatorships rolled into one.
This works for me...
"Screw off Neo-hitler cock sucking bitch!"
Probably will not ever call back, ether. Sadly it may give innocent bystanders heart attacks, but... ask yourself, isn't it worth it?
They will kill each other deciding what to say to you.
(Note: I was and know many communists, and they will mostly agree with this. The ones who don't are busy killing each other over it.)

:P)
(ps: "funny" not "troll"...
Sadly slashdot is the geek's lawyer, and I think the question is more "where do I buy an EMP" then "how do I sue an old man" anyway...

Apple interfaces just got stranger.

...No matter how odd the task, eventually, you will find an application made to accomplish it.
