New RedHat Kernel Patch Illegal to Explain to U.S. Users
Russellkhan writes "The Register is running a story about a new RedHat kernel patch that cannot be explained to U.S. citizens or others in the U.S. because of DMCA restrictions. The illegal explanation is hosted at Thefreeworld.net, a site created specifically to deal with these DMCA issues."
Unless suddenly Presidents get retroactive veto power, yes, yes I WOULD vote for him. AGAIN.
Never confuse volume with power.
Hey, *I* sure as hell didn't vote for Bush. Word of caution: your submission could be taken for trollbait.
Will you vote for bush again? *sigh*
I didn't think anyone did.

Axis of Evil - speech by Bush
One Nation Under God - Congress is voting to make that part of the pledge a law, also under Bush's watch.
Settle down bitch.
Actually, with all of the "enemy combatants" running around, I think a bunch of US citizens might be getting carted off to Cuba for the same treatment.
I could be wrong, but nobody can prove it one way or the other because habeas corpus appears to be missing, too.
Yeah, I know, off-topic.
I ask a simple request. I want it so when you click a linked story in slashdot it puts a cookie on your hard drive. After that you are allowed to post a comment in the acompanying thread. That would hopefully cut down on all the fuckin idiots who insist on refusing to read a story and post their idiotic opinions without even having a glimmer of an idea what the story is about.
If you think about it, the DMCA has some similarities to the so-called "holy" Bible. The purpose of both is to oppress you into obediance. The Bible has had pretty good success (over a billion people), whereas the DMCA just irritates people. Then again, if we stop believing in the DMCA we're all going straight to Palladium.
P.S. If Jesus comes around, somebody steal his wallet. I bet his driver's license picture is hillarious!
best solution would be to vote libertarian
*Repent!Quit Your Job!Slack Off!The World Ends Tomorrow and You May Die!
Just say no!
We do that a lot. We let our less "civilized" allies, who have no qualms with torture, handle our suspects. Why is this surprising?
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
Could someone moderate the parent as Funny instead of Insightful?
I'll do it for cheesy poofs.
I know that my Cox was patched a while ago and it wasn't a violation of the DMCA. Of course, now that it's 12 inches long, it violates plenty of young virgins. I don't know what Alan's problem is.
>Am I the only one who heard Roxette to sing "I'm gonna get blitzed for some sex"?
I reckon you are yes.
yes, www.dotcomforwardslash.com is my real URL.
Yeah, we got some great bombing practice out of your Presidents' home about 190 years ago!

And every single congress critter (95/100 of the Senate IIRC) that voted for it should be tossed out of office on their ass for violating their oath. How is this upholding the Constitution?
This is very bad moderation. He is correct.
your right, in camp delta, the prisoners have BETTER living quarters that the soldures.....
I have heard a few soldures who are back from Camp delta complain about just such issues.
BTW, Camp delta conformes to 21 and 22, 25 has NEVER been broken except perhaps while they were being procesed in the begining.
right now, 70 is being borkern, however, that would be why they are illegal combatants and not POWs.
the fact is that they are phisicly and mentaly treated no worse than a POW. writing home is the only thng they cannot do and it is sufficient enought as to have queld critics in the UN and the International Red Cross
