Analysis Of Symantec's Stance On Censorship
robochan writes "According to this report in the Sydney Morning Herald, Chief Operating Officer of Symantec, John Schwarz, was quoted as 'calling for laws to make it a criminal offense to share information and tools online which could be used by malicious hackers and virus writers.' This article takes a look at the negative affects and also a couple of recent examples of "censorship legislation" backed by the COO of Symantec, and what little effect it has had on criminals, while having a substantial affect on responsible citizens."

I just heard this on the radio - Michael Moore, dead at 41! He was involved in a plane crash, flying to Texas to investigate the Bush/Bin Laden families oil dealings.
Even if you didn't like him, you can't deny he made an important contribution to Communism in the United States.

... right now. I know so, 'cos I saw so in my slashbox.
I find your ideas intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Amiga is a dead platform.
I guess thats reason enough to troll a usenet newsgroup. I used to have an amiga way back in the day. It was a lot of fun playing games. I took a look in the usenet forum you are talking about and it looks really ugly.
Nothing but a bunch of people complaining about people pirating 15 year old software. How can you get anymore lame that that.
Even worse, people taking about copy right law and crap. I get more slashdot than i can possibly stand right here at slashdot. Last thing i want ot do is go on usenet and read the exact same bs crap there too.
I for one support your noble efforts to troll the shit out of that newsgroup.
You can look forward to seeing many of my troll posts in the future.
Yeesh. Why is it the slashdot community, some of the brightest people around, cannot grasp this simple concept?
"Effect" is the noun form. "What effect will it have if I punch your smug, stupid face in the mouth?"
"Affect" is the verb form. "Would it affect you negatively to have your tongue removed?"
GET IT RIGHT ALREADY!
One day, I decided I wanted to start smokin' crack, so I started smokin' crack and I liked smokin' crack, so I kept smokin' crack, and now I'm hooked on smokin' crack because I like smokin' crack, so I got my friends to start smokin' crack because it was more fun that way than smokin' crack alone, because it is always more fun to do things in groups, especially smokin' crack, and because of this and how much i like smokin' crack, i'm smokin' crack right now, and by the way, my name is Darl McBride and i'm smokin' crack and i was smokin' crack while i hacked this guy's account to post this message about smokin' crack; and by the way, smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack!
