  1. Not the only one by cvd6262 · · Score: 1 · on The Customer is Always Wrong

    Steven Levy so far is the only person in the mainstream press to pick up on the the travesty of the SSSCA hearings.

    Not true. Dan Gilmour of the San Jose Mercury News has been talking about it.

    Check it out.

    2002-02-28 20:27:33 Intel backs consumers over Hollywood (articles,news) (rejected)

  2. Another related article by MiTEG · · Score: 3, Informative · on Slashback: Decade, Fragmentation, RDRAM

    A screenplay written by Jack Valenti?

    More information can be found from the SJ Mercury article from today's paper, although it was written Dan Gillmore, who tends to be quite sensationalist in style but is consistently pro-consumer and anti-DMCA.

  3. Microsoft hasn't changed by JoeBuck · · Score: 3, Informative · on Cryptogram Judges MS Security

    See this story in the San Jose Mercury. Even now, Microsoft is still treating security as a public relations problem. Their response to the discovery of security holes in their products is still, in too many cases, to deny it.

  4. Hurray for Ashcroft by fm6 · · Score: 2 · on In Defense of Disposable Cell Phones

    I don't see why everybody thinks the AG is an enemy of civil liberties. He's a staunch defender of the second amendment!

  5. Released on bail by jdunlevy · · Score: 1 · on Sklyarov Bail Hearing Monday
    Well, he was released on $50,000 bail this morning.

    $50,000? And I thought the Eighth Ammendment stipulated that "Excessive bail shall not be required."

  6. Re:Where's It All Happening by Computer! · · Score: 1 · on Ballmer Calls Linux "A Cancer"
    Nope.

    Things are happening worldwide, not just the valley. Wake up!:
    • New York
    • Chicago
    • Dallas
    • Bombay, India
    • Scotland
    Etc, etc. The Valley just crashed the hardest, and started it all, but the cat's out of the bag, circa 1995.

  7. Re:This regulation simply enforces existing law by N3MCB · · Score: 1 · on FCC Seeks Comment on Internet Filtering Rules

    There is already a case before the court of appeals in California about filtering. As this article points out there have been succsessful suits against libraries that do filter. They are in a catch 22 they get sued either way. No matter how the FCC rules on this it will end up in the courts.

    Personaly I'd rather the 12 year old go to the computer than try and shoplift a playboy from 7-11 ... the latter results in a lot more paperwork and trouble when I have to take him home in the back of a patrol car.
