This is another example why when you call overseas there is no expectation of privacy. You can't expect a call from the US to Sweden will go unmonitored, and you damn well better not believe your call to Mohammed Al Muhammed in Iran isn't being listened to by MULTIPLE countries' security agentcies.
Or maybe we shouldn't invest so much power in governments that create laws so complex that nobody can read and understand them prior to voting on their passage? You know--power, money => government == whiskey, car keys => 12 year old boys
Vietnam was full of new and shiny tools for soldiers to use in combat. Stuff like microphones shaped like shit, dropped en masse over a jungle in an attempt to track VC movements, failed miserably. Some like night-vision goggles were huge successes. But while loading down soldiers with eventually useless gear is annoying in peace time, in time of war it can be deadly. Which is one of the reasons (other than bureaucracy, corruption, incompetence, etc) why the military takes these kinds of innovations slow. And thank God, seeing as how we've got maniacs like http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/media_archive/jan -11-2007_a.html this guy and his amazing seven-timezone-cock-cock running around trying to "help".
If you don't believe that a government-regulated internet won't throttle bittorrent, you are fucking high. Government + regulatory power + money from lobbyists @ RIAA etal = NO bittorrent. I don't care how many people are seeding Azumanga Daioh, not a single one of their pimply weaboo asses is going to emerge from their parents basement to speak nihongo to power
How is this a Vista vulnerability? Any speech recognition program is vulnerable to this. Also, its vulnerable if somebody walks by and talks into your microphone. Or if you have the phone on speaker. Glad the release of Vista brought this kind of voice recognition vulnerability to the forefront.
Hell, they could have given people a 1:1 tax break (1 dollar spent on CFL = 1 dollar off taxes, not taxible income), which would have worked like gangbusters for organizations like hotels and other businesses. Probably less so for individuals, but it still would have had a definite positive influence on the consumer's decision which light bulb to buy. But its always much easier to hold a gun to somebody's head to get your agenda across. Thanks, government!
Playing HD at 1080p on a Celerot? ARE YOU HIGH??????????
BTW, DRM is on the MEDIA. Don't by DRMd media. Simple. If the market won't purchase DRMd media because it plays like non-DRMd lower-rez media (which is cheaper), people won't buy it. All this pissing about DRM is such a big waste of fucking time.
I only sign one petition a year, and I already put my JH on a petition against women's suffrage. Although I believe this is a very important and extremely cool petition here, we gotta end women suffring. But once they're not suffring anymore, I'll be right beside you.
Ya screwed up, spyrochaete. I've got Vista Business and Office 2k7 pro on the way (says 6 weeks after RTM), and I didn't have to get out of mien kamphy chair... powertogether.com
It does matter, when you're attempting to use avarice, greed, hatred, envy, and other base human emotion to garner political power. Quite frankly, what some CEO makes isn't a bit of your goddamn business, unless you're a stockholder in the company. About 99% of the people reading/. make a whole FUCKLOAD more than your average 3rd world dirt hut living person; maybe we should do something about that? Or maybe the people in here who care so much about income disparity should do something about it themselves and give all their money away to people who have nothing. Of course, I'm high, you know.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and make a prediction:
After 1000 years, the waste contained in these ceramic hoonanies will be easily salvagable and converted into fine roquefort cheese.
I mean, give me a fucking break. In 100 years people will be mining our garbage dumps. Unless we're all gone, in which case none of this 1,400 year bullshit matters.
Speculation about a yet-to-be-released operating system not being compatible with yet-to-be-released video discs on yet-to-be-released hardware? Here's a news bit for you--monkeys may fly out of my ass. News at 10 on/.

Please save me from these idiotic FUD articles on /.!!!!
What happens when you open your browser and see an article of F, U and D about vista? That's /. for you.
it was also discovered that these ancient muslims also developed something thought to be a modern invention: Beheading infidels.
Lessee, Edwards ventures into the world of blogging and hires left wing maniacs with a penchant for using the word "fuck" (in its many forms) while hating on anybody to the right of Lieberman. Now he's venturing into Second Life, a world chock a block with http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2006/11/did_li ve_help_l.html furries sporting erections, http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2007/01/agepla y_in_seco.html pedophiles and http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Sec ond_Life other faggotry. I can hardly wait until these deviants start filling up the Edwards campagin office, trying to volunteer virtually. Maybe they should put up a sign outside that says "No shirt, no shoes, graphically depicted animal penii, no service".
5, insightful??? How about 100, cranky. 'Scuse me, fucking kids are on my lawn again, gotta go.
...The dead will walk the earth. Dude, stuff coming back from space is bad. I definitely don't want to eat no zombie sweet potatoes.

1) Grow millions of acres of hardwoods 2) Harvest 3) Tow them out into the ocean 4) Sink them. 5) Go to step 1. Can I get my money now, in cash?

Another bash M$/Vi$ta article on /. What the fuck is this, Digg?

This post is a goof, right? Nobody is actually this stupid, somebody tell me, please.

But Vista has DRM!
"Screw them" brings up the original Kos post as the fifth hit; I believe that's as high as it ever went.

Nice article, mods. Please remind me of why I still read /. before I leave for home today, k?

Simple. Most of the supposed libertarians here are actually stinky hippies with unix beards and Che t-shirts.
