Why are the fed so worried about Metnik making a few bucks telling people they need to get better at security. I didnt see the feds get worked up, with Kevin Poulson when he went to work for ZD ? Mind you I dont think mass murders should be writing books telling us why and how they commited their crimes.But to me this sounds like a case of the goverment,getting pissed off at Metnik becuse he found a way to make a living with out flipping burgers at burger king .
With the lawsuit going on Metalica wont be releasing any new music,in fear of lost profits. This is a second and the best reason to have Napster. I can see the headlines now "Keep has been 80's rockers from making new cd's Buy Napster Now if we can only get Van Halen to sign on!!!
In a press release announcing the suit, publicists for the band and music companies even threw in a statement from Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, who said it is "sickening to know that our art is being traded like a commodity rather than the art that it is." In my opinion Mettalica is to Art what Ripple is to fine wine.Hey Lars your an idiot, people tape songs off the raido all the time you going to sue them next.Metallica is now nothing more than lame corperate rock band that uses lawsuits to to make up for there lack of talent . Metallica's lawsuit aganst Napster is lame . But then again Metallica is lame. Do the world a favor retire !!!!
Why does Slashdot have to pander to the lowest common denomanator by having stories about the Oscars.I have nothing aganst Mr.Katz but this is a total waste of good bandwidth. I would rather have hot grits poured down my pants than worry about interactivity with the Oscars,remember this is Slashdot not ZDNET. News for Nerds not News for Numbskulls
I wasnt planning on watching the Oscars before or after Robin williams sings that song . South Park isnt funny and neither is Robin Williams,maybe I missed the point of the whole thing or I didnt do enough drugs and my one remaing brain cell keeps me from getting what it's all about
It's their test they can do what they want . This does mean I like it,but what the hell I dont consider a MCSE a good reason to hire somebody(I dont list it on my resume) It's not something I am proud of . It kind of reminds me of riding a moped or screwing a sheep it's ok to do untill you get caught.
Printed words on paper will always be with us . I have not lately tried to haul my pc into the bathroom and I sure as hell would not read anything like a book off of a computer
Does any one remember the phone company break up. Look at how much money they (AT&T) made from that . Does anybody seriously belive Microsoft didn't look at that example and see this as a model for even larger profits in the 21 century. "Those who fail to remember the mistakes of history are destined to repeat them"
I cant help but wonder is this money going to be used to create a new Three letter name agency or is it recuitment money for the Three letter agencies (CIA NSA )and BTW what is their stake in electronic warfare you think these people would be leading the way in this feild ?
Steve Jobs putting the "i" back into idiot . Why does putting certain color of plastic on a box and call it a flavor make it a better device? iPuke on the Maggotbox.
Is it me or does it seem that Law enforcement community spends a lot of time enforcing victimless crimes.I mean going after an electronics supply house is not very high on my list of priorities to make America safe. BTW I bought Ramsey products in the past are the Feds going to kick my door in next ?
1.For Incompetence above and beyond call of normal yellow journalism. 2.For piss poor trade show with almost no new technology (Networld+Interop 99 )both Atlanta and Las Vegas,do yourself a favor sell the shows to IDG , Linux world is better. 3.For 24x7 Fud on Zdtv. I nominate Ziff Davis. The multi function fud media masters. p.s ZD should have left Softbank alone

What will happen to Linux is any one's guess. I think some of the stock prices are currently over valued and eventually the market will self correct.But this can be said for a lot of tech stocks not just Linux related ones.As Warren Zevon would say,"I'm just looking for the next best thing "
Being that I work In San Francisco,I have noticed a lot of plywood in the Bussiness district. I also noticed thge police left forms in our lobby wanting to know who is in charge of our building.San Francisco is not the place to be,with every cop on duty something bad is going to happen knowing these trigger pumping morons . I guess this means no alternative shopping,this year damn
. Dot-com paper millionaires. You have to live in the San Francisco Bay Area to appreciate fully how these folks have changed the way things work. It's amazing what money will do, especially when it falls into the hands of a 20-something with no taste. San Francisco, the capital of dot-com mania, is transforming itself into a menagerie of so-called live/work renovated loft environments. What's interesting to me is that the new construction of live/work housing is fashioned in minimum-security prison style, with cameras, metal gates, cement stairways, and uninspired architecture. 100% True I thought SOMA was a drug in a sci fi book .
Only 20 % of all Americans are nuts I find that hard to belive when companies spend millions daily selling Prozac/Zoloft,just tune in USA network there always advertising mood altering drugs. For whats it worth heres my 2 cents I think Drug manufactures are drumming up there own bussiness. Convince everyone there nuts and your profits will soar.I have not looked at DSM IV but I would bet the drug companies wrote it
Slashdot has set a high standard,when it bring stories to it's readers . I am glad to see your human and admit you make mistakes. Now Zd should do the same but one better , admit they made a whole bunch of mistakes and close their doors .
Most computer magazines are dead for a reason. The useless morons who run Ziff Davis have decided to mount a disinfomation campain . Make Zd publications and websites unbelivable and people will belive Microsoft.There by making computer magazine a thing of the past and making Micro$oft look good .
Lets face facts Microsoft Windows is a Virus . What else can cause a computer to crash on a semi -regular basis.I would complain to Micro$oft but lets be real.It's not in their best intrest to fix their own piss-poor programming.Talk about planned obsolesence.

In death race 2000 the French are blamed for the destruction of the US phone system. Isnt it ironic how life imitates art ???

I wanted ZD to go out of bussiness not be purchased by anyone having ties to Microsoft . Maybe they should rename ZDTV to FUDTV
