Felten Will Present SDMI Research At USENIX

iamblades writes: "Edward Felten is scheduled to present his research papers on SDMI on Wednesday at the annual USENIX security conference. Apparently the RIAA backed off their harrassment, which makes sense, as SDMI is almost completely dead already." And a Semi-Anonymous Coward writes: "Despite the RIAA's attempts to silence the Princeton Professor and his students, USENIX will broadcast the SDMI Crack Live via the web. The broadcast will be available for the world here along with a discussion concerning your Freedom."

    Jesus christ. The internet destroys yet another one of America's great experiences for youths.
    It's called shoulder tapping. Get off of the internet and go down to your local liquor store.
    Ask people to buy you beer, some will, some won't.
    The key is to get good at deciding which ones will before you ask the ones that won't. (Sometimes the ones that won't will also want to call the police or tell the liquor store owner what you are up to)
    I have found the easiest marks are drunks. Yeah, if you have a homeless or bum population ask them first. Give them some extra money for a cheap bottle of booze and they'll buy anything you want for you.
    Another good one (sometimes) is people who just turned 21. They remember being beerless and will sometimes help you.
    Just don't ask cops.
    Remember, just because the internet allows you to have no human contact, don't do it.
    Get out there into the real world! Live!
    Shoulder tap to buy your beer the way I did before the internet existed!

    when will we get a forum to discuss this?

    Never. Nobody cares. Nobody.

    You want a forum to "discuss this"? Fine. Make one. Go stand out on the street for an hour with a cardboard sign saying "NEED MONEY TO START E-COMMERCE SITE WILL TAKE ANYTHING"; take the $20 you get from this and set up a moderated (to remove crapflooding only, of course) UBB-based site at www.slashdotsucks.com (it's unregged.) See? You now have a forum to discuss it, and you can go and have people who write good slashdot posts put the url in their sigs. Now there's a forum to discuss abuses of /., and everyone knows where it is. wouldn't that work?

    Oh , wait , i forgot, you don't *want* a forum to "discuss this". You don't actually give a crap about micheal hypocritically burning libraries in michigan to the ground, or about how timothy is actually a eunech or whatever. You just want to whine obnoxiously about something, anything, as long as it has nothing whatsoever to do with anything anyone would care about (i.e. the slashdot editors.).

    I AM SO FUCKING BORED OF YOU PEOPLE. FIND A MORE INTERESTING WAY OF BEING IRRITATING, OR GO BACK TO IRC. GRR!!

    i realize all criticism of slashdot, its editors, and its groupthink policy will get moderated to oblivion. but where is anybody supposed to discuss this besides going to kuro5hin or hitting the troll sites? the hidden sids aren't any good either.

    interesting how slashdot can give it (forum for other articles, etc) but can't do it to themselves.

    more proof of slashdot hypocricy at work.

    do you remember the days gone by, or is there no point for us to even try? back when we didn't have a care in the world, getting drunk and chasing girls.. do you remember the times gone past, and how we always wanted the good times to last? the time we spent hanging out is how we learned what life was about.
