Microsoft Media Player "Security Patch" Changes EULA Big Time
MobyTurbo writes "In an article on BSD Vault a careful reader posts that in the latest Windows Media Player security patch, the EULA (the "license agreement" you click on) says that you give MS the right to install digital rights management software, and the right to disable any other programs which may circumvent DRM on your computer." So if you want your machine secure,
you also want microsoft to have free reign on your PC.
eula or fp?

THE OFFICIAL TACOSNOTTING FAQ By J Wipo Troll Esq Revision 116 This article attempts to document a vile ungodly practice that runs rampant through the homosexual geek and hacker community a practice known as or simply Tacosnotting is something that few geeks dare talk about in free or open conversation but it is nonetheless a widelypracticed and dangerous form of homosexuality If you or anyone you know has ever engaged in Tacosnotting please get professional help before it is too late Why do I keep receiving emails from an individual calling himself You have been receiving unsolicited mailings from a certain Robert Malda owner of the popular technology website slashdotorg Actually itnot a very site in the common sense of the word the site is rife with pimply antisocial geeks and hackers zitfaced nerds communists dirty GNU hippies and other societal rejects and outcasts Italso home to one of the worldlargest suspected prings the infamous crewMr Malda gets bored and who wouldnrunning a site like Slashdot all day he roams through the user database penis in hand looking for people who might enjoy engaging in homosexual activities with him How he determines this is anyoneguess but if you have a homosexualsounding nickname or a nick with a letter of the English alphabet in it youa potential candidateThis time he found you Lucky you Mr Malda seems to be speaking in some sort of code Do you know what it means CmdrTacocode language is relatively easy to decipher This pervert prefers to speak in thinlyveiled sexual innuendo yes thatright he wants you to evade the watchful eye of Slashdotparent corporation VA Software Mr Maldais of course his penis a small withered little thing that lives in his pants and only comes out in the presence of other male geeks or at the beck and call of Maldaown lubedup right hand His bellsare the shriveled testicles that droop beneath his Commander and his sauceis his thin runny semen It should be more than obvious to you now what he means if he asked you to his Taco bellsor his gourmet Taco saucewould also guess CmdrTaco asked you to engage in a practice known as and if he was in a particularly depraved mood at the time a Good Lord And yes he did What is is the term used by Robert Malda to refer to the depraved act of fellating another man homo or heterosexual CmdrTaco is rumoured to prefer raping unwilling victims then blowing the semen out his nose and back onto the face and body of his victim Naturally a long bubbly stream of milkywhite semen is left on CmdrTacoface dribbling out of his nose and down his cheek hence the term if thatnot bad enoughis a Tacosnotting circlejerk another practice common among the Slashdot crew CmdrTaco CowboiKneel and Homos get together and snot each other with their gooey sticky cum spooging their jizzsnot all over each otherfaces and pasty white bodies until theycovered head to toe with their own and each otherman juice This vile ungodly ritual can go on for hours For the homosexual penetration that follows this lengthy foreplay Roblowme is usually there to provide plenty of anal lubricant he owns a limousine service and has ample supplies of motor oil and axle grease ready to goTo complete this perverted orgy fellow faggots Michael Timothy and Jamie will usually join in dressed in tight leather mockSS uniforms jack boots and leather gloves The homosexual shenanigans that follow are nearly beyond description The whole group begins to snot each otherspunk and whip each otherpudgy asses with riding crops and chains until their pale white geek bodies are exhausted and soaked in stinking sweat from the hours of passionate homosexual revelry Ewwwwww So can I stop receiving these emails Hopefully but I wouldncount on itTo begin with you most likely forgot to uncheck the to Snotcheckbox in your account preferences CmdrTaco has probably already got the hots for your wad do you have a homosexualsounding nick and heprobably already been lurking outside your bathroom window for weeks with a camera some tissues and lube just waiting to pounce and declare you his new bitch Thereno escaping a geek in heat trust me so itprobably too late

SnotMaybe heignore you Probably not I canstop receiving these emails from CmdrTaco If you indulge him in a Tacosnot or two he might leave you alone You might also want to look into mail filtering restraining orders or purchasing a heavy blunt object capable of warding off rampaging homosexual geeks in heat Trust me when they chargeoh the humanity If he gets you and you let him Tacosnot all over you you will most likely end up tied up in his basement to be used as his sex slave for the rest of your life or until he accidentally drowns you in spunk in a circlesnot Have you ever been Tacosnotted Unfortunately yes I first met Mr Malda at an Open Source Convention He invited me back to his room for a game of Quake and some Tacosbut when I got there the perverted geek jumped me and handcuffed me to his bed stripping me After taking his out of his pants Mr Taco made me suck the withered thing six times virtually nonstop He then performed his vile Tacosnotting ritual on me three times over the next two hours bringing me to orgasm after orgasm after sweaty mindnumbing orgasmthen he snotted my own thick gooey jizz back onto my face out of his nostrils He snotted me two more times first into my mouth then again on my exposed bellyCmdrTaco invited several of his Open Source or rather Sauceman sauce buddies over to continue their ungodly snotfest European hacker and known Linux Torvalds raped my ass with his kernelhis partnerincrime Anal Cox used their stackin a multitude of unspeakable ways on and in every orifice of my defenseless tender young body Michael Sims was there in his leather Nazi uniform caning my previouslyvirginal ass with a bamboo pole and ranting about those Censorware freaks out to get himThat is so disgusting How did you finally escape After about 16 hours of countless unholy homosexual atrocities perpetrated against my restrained body they all finally went to sleep on top of me sweatsoaked and exhausted I was left there completely covered in bubbly translucent jizzsnot chained to the bed with half a dozen fat pastywhite fags lying around and on top of me Fortunately the spooge coating my flesh worked wonderfully as a lubricant I was able to squirm my way out of the handcuffs and slip out the back door of the apartment not their back doors Ijust glad I survived the awful ordeal These sexuallyrepressed hackers had a lot of builtup spunk in their wads I couldeasily been drowned Thathorrible Does have anything to do with CmdrTacotacoNo thata different disgusting perversion CmdrTaco indulges himself in Mr Malda is usually not satisfied with merely snotting your own jizz back onto your face he most often enjoys involving his own bodily fluids in his twisted games WeatherTroll has spent some time trying to educate the Slashdot readership about this vile practice emphasis added You may be wondering what CmdrTacotacois You will be wishing that you hadnbeen wondering after you finish reading this post To make his tacoCmdrTaco takes a taco shell and shits on it He then adds lettuce takes out his tiny withered dick otherwise known as his puts his taco sauceon it which means he jacks off on the taco and adds a compound to make the person who eats the taco unconscious Of course the compound does not make the person unconscious until the taco is fully eaten Thus CmdrTaco forcefeeds the taco to the unsuspecting victim After all who would knowingly eat shit and CmdrTacojizz After the victim is unconscious he is held against his will and used for CmdrTaconefarious homosexual purposes This includes shoving taco shells up the victimass Tacosnotting and getting Jon Katz involved Trust me you do not want Jon Katz anywhere near your unconscious body Also rumor has it CmdrTaco is looking for a new goatsecx guy Donlet it be youDifferent ungodly perversion yet no less revolting It should be clear to you now that Robert Malda is a very very sick individual as are most of the Slashdot editors Does Jon Katz get involved in any of this I thought he was a pnot a homosexual Actually Jon Katz is a homosexual pHealso a coprophiliac and many suspect a zoophile Mr Katz is somewhat of a loner and doesninvolve himself in the circlesnots but that doesmean heany less of a freak than the rest of the Slashdot crew Katz often engages in a game called with a harem of littleboy slaves that he has collected over the years yet another vile practice which involves administering an enema to himself of the little boyurine forced out of them with a pair of pincers spooging the vile muck from his ass back into the enema bag then dribbling and slathering the goo all over himself and the boychained naked bodies If hein the mood he will sometimes skip refilling the enema bag from his distended anus and just squirt it from his ass onto the crying terrified boys Unwilling boys are further tortured with the pincers until they comply and allow Mr Katz to juicydouche them at will A boy will usually last about two years before Mr Katz either accidentally drowns them in diarrhea or kills them once they get too old usually around 13 or 14Not content with being a pcoprophile Mr Katz is also quite the zoophile As if the sexual escapades with the helpless little boys arenenough Jon usually enjoys his juicydouches best when his penis is firmly planted in a female goatanus He is also rumoured to get off on watching his little boys eat the goatsmall beanlike turds and he often kills his older boys by letting his goats trample them you getting hard writing this Why yes Join me in a WIPOsnot No

What does TIFF do that PNG doesn't?
:)
IE's PNG support sucks balls. In fact, PNG support in general is kind of weird. I had to resave a PNG three times to get it to reliably display in IE, Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla. For reference, Opera has the best PNG support out of any browser I have seen.
Since the link to PNG won't load for me, and I am not too familiar with the format, can you tell me if it can do the following?
CMYK encoding, YCbCr, L*a*b
Resolution Metadata
Extensible Metadata
A really cool magic number (42)
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
oops I am not allowed to say that word. Hrm why the hell can just one person complaining about the usage of the word god in the pledge of allegiance get the courts to rule it illegal and no matter how many people complain about Microsofts EULA nothing gets done?
