Slashdot Mirror

Nope, he didn't. These addresses were never used. You lied or he did.
But it doesn't matter anyway, since hell.com closed the webmail system one year ago and expired the last addresses (except for the patronage ones) in early oktober.
You could sign up at http://hell.com/PAY/X.html, but this is also "dead" now.

Welcome to Hell on Earth 2006.

Because he made a link ;) Learn well young padawan, slashdot mods are easily willed by shiny links all over the damn place.

Hell.com had a web page which would capture and stream the user's webcam. I came across it while poking around their website. They had a chatroom type page and, if the user had a webcam, it would be displayed. I don't know how the functionality was available, if it was java script, a java applet (I don't remember clicking any acceptance box), or something else.

I often wondered, after that (circa 1999), how many other website administrators were happily scanning and capturing the webcams of users. Presumably, after a single visit to a page, the web cam connection could be preserved indefinitely.

Maybe it's better if the general public doesn't know these things. Can you imagine the uproar against MS when the yuppie soccer moms collectively find out that their online escapades away from their business straitjacket executive husbands have been captured for amateur pr0n?

Shift -a delight.

Critical Arts Ensemble doesn't fit the traditional requirements of net.art but I believe it's equally valid.

Deviant Art is more of a gallery. I think what the poster was getting at was sites that are art, not that contain art.

On a related note, Hell.com used to be one of the best 'Web as Art' sites out there, and it led into a whole rat's nest of other sites, all as snazzy as it. Unfortunately, it seems to have gone away.

It's interesting to look at sites like these -- I always feel like I've wandered into an issue of wired magazine, only with more movement and blink tags. Kind of post-modernist, avant garde, art deco 'busy-ness' brought to a new medium. Sometimes it hurts my eyes.

Well, there is no law of physical nature that then prevents them from sneaking up behind you and OJ'ing your neck.

Except the law that if you do, you will go down there. Four major religions (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism) have a religious law against taking of life but no law against sharing of information. (Besides, OJ was never found guilty of any homicide.)

It's called civilization, folks. You set up rules that people can agree on. Hopefully they are logical rules, which is to say, things similar to the Golden Rule and Your Rights End Where My Nose Begins.

Except my village is several kilometers away from your nose. You aren't harmed in any way when I copy your cookie recipe unless you accept copyright. I'm not taking anything from you unless you accept copyright, as you still have the cookie recipe. Try reasoning your argument for perpetual copyright from a standpoint that doesn't assume copyright as one of its premises.

Anti-IP whines are nothing more than bleats about not being allowed by Daddy to copy others' months or even years of hard work with no consequences.

How much did you copy to create that very sentence? Every single word has appeared in another published work. It's a good thing the English language itself is largely unencumbered by government-granted monopolies; otherwise, the owner of the English language would have us all in debtors' prison.

If you don't want me to copy your recipe, don't show it to me. Copyright was designed to be a bargain that promotes the progress of science and the useful arts by saying, in effect: "To compensate you for creating this, you get a monopoly for x years; after that, anybody can copy it." This article is about the fact that corporations managed to bribe Congress into laws that keep the "anybody can copy it" from happening within a natural person's lifetime. And we can do little or nothing about bribery without lots of money to out-lobby the lobbyists; everybody has a price.

hell.com. I signed up for their mailing list over a year ago, and they invite me to intersting portions of the site. Check it out.

kuro5hin is already old, it sucks, and how do you pronounce it anyway?

Try this DotSlash.

hell.com the smell of burning flesh and brimstone this is at least one website that could use the sence of smell for dramatic purposes.

No, but if there were other people in the car (read:forum), I'd talk to them about the problem. I would also hope that they wouldn't get angry just because I was wearing an All Advantage T-shirt.

If the car ran out of gas five times a day, I'd point that out, too. Just as I point out the worthless articles. I mean, who really cares what's going on in Brazil?

I hate the way Hemos posts articles, with all these stupid links!

Personally, I like nyc because there are still a million places that a person on crutches (let alone a wheelchair) couldn't access. There needs to be some crazy whacked out sites like whatever hell.com or something (kind of preposterous in the first place). But if a group is preposterous enough to call themselves america online (Hey I had an account back when the fam had geoworks ensemble), they should try to at least be somewhat compatible with some of the accessibility standards.

"This page does not yet meet the requirements for Bobby Approved status." is what bobby says about www.aol.com. Sure, not that many sites are (including the venerable /. in full-on mode, but I bet the stripped version passes (check your user config)), but the major service providers should at least think about making their sites accessible to all.

Of course this goes against free enterprise or something, but hey this is the good ol' U. S. of A. goshdarnit. Let the people complain.

I know my homepage rocks in w3-mode, and hence emacspeak, but I don't think a single blind person has ever checked it out.

Oh yeah, check out www.ssdp.org, the times they are a changin'.
