System of Down's website is the most annoying to navigate site on the web I have come across. While it must have took the webmaster a long time to make that remote control, it makes the site utterly annoying to navigate.
I never enter arguments where people contend something is a natural law, in this case, xenophobia. You will pass water through solid objects before you can convince most of them. Valiant effort, though.
You bloke I never said anything about liberty being a left wing concept. I was just talking about how the Libertarians hijacked the term libertarian. As an anarchist, I get pissed when I hear all of these Libertarian party tools hijack the word.
I know very well that the term libertarian refered to the anarchist tradition of Socialism long before Ayn Rand and other hacks were born.
I thought his stupid anecodatal evidence sucked as well. Too bad I do not have the points to mod him down. Most of the people posting racist shit on the slashdot and usenet are trolls. That guy must be dense. I unleashed countless racist trolls on usenet and slashdot.
"I know that (especially in America) people are afraid of being called a racist more than death itself"
This argument makes little sense. Why would someone who think other races are inferior, be scared of someone calling them a racist? Racists do not care about that, or else they would probably not be racists. I think you mean that non-racists are scared of mistakenly being called racists for their positions on race-senstitive issues(immigration, to name one), which completely invalidates that part of your argument.
The world will be heading down a scary path when we are tolerant of racism and when there are more racists at KKK, and Neo-nazi marches and public gatherings than there are non-racists. Right now, wherever these groups assemble their numbers are drowned in the sea of non-rascists assembling in opposition to their assembelage and their preaching of hate.
Well said. That guy was full of shit. I bet he will never find out how Rand and Nozick and Co. hijacked the term Libertarian.
The corporate oligarchic republics like America hand the people a few shreds of rights they call freedoms. They do this to get idiots like mrgrumpy, focused on a narrow plane of thought and stuck in reformism. He gets righteous about freedoms, when he should be after freedom.
You will never obtain liberty under any government, all governments in history have existed to protect an opulent minority from the majority. Whenever this minority feels threatened or gets rapacious you will see your so called guaranteed rights go away real quick.
For the most part, whenever you move from a rural area to a city during the summer, it feels alot hotter in the ciy because of increased humidity and a small increase in temperature.
"The owners of Morpheus, Grokster and Kazaa, on the other hand, are expected to argue that since they don't use a Napster-like central server--even the indexing software is distributed among users--it is impossible for them to monitor the activities of the millions of people who use their programs."
I went to his website and saw: "Over 600 book reviews, covering all kinds of books - fiction and non-fiction, with a broad range of genre and subject."
You know what this means? This man must have no television if he has read and reviewed over 600 books!
Oreilly Weblog is real slow. This text does not include picture of the nerd who wrote the article, which is a good thing.

"Apache on warpath over Java license"
by Steve Anglin Feb. 20, 2002
According to vnunet.com, "The Apache Software Foundation's battle with Sun Microsystems stepped up gear last week as the open source community struggled to loosen Sun's cast iron grip on the Java platform." This is in response to, first, Lutris being turned-down for J2EE certification, and then JBoss, which is J2EE compliant from a technical standpoint, but apparently not J2EE compliant enough for Sun certification.
Last week, ONJava.com published O'Reilly editor Mike Loukides' follow-up on the possibility of open source J2EE from Sun: Will You See Open Source J2EE Implementations? Not Likely. TheServerSide.com also published an interview with one of Sun's J2EE principles, Karen Tegan. While Sun essentially says it supports open source efforts, it does not want those efforts to impact the J2EE certification process, a process that clearly is closed source at best. See the conflict.
As a high ranking member in the Java Community Process (JCP), Apache is part of the JSPA (Java Specification Participation Agreement). In this capacity, Apache can actively propose new and revised Java API specifications as well as integrate a particular specification under Jakarta, Apache's open source Java projects. Apache's reply is here in Apache's JSPA Position. According to Apache, "...Sun doesn't give a hoot about whether J2EE licensing restricts open source J2EE products (in case you missed it, it does)."
Sun benefits from its relationship with Apache. Apache gives Sun "...an advertising statement...to claim that it (Sun) has a 'vision which uses open standards and non-proprietary interfaces'." If Apache's reply and suggestions go unanswered, Apache can put pressure on Sun in other, more severe ways. Without Apache, Sun could lose many of its Java developers as Jakarta projects would be affected. The impact could be quite severe, certainly in terms of publicity. Financially, who knows?

The difference between dictatorship and parliamentary democracy--or should I better say capitalistic oligarchy--is that the first one is mainly imposed by raw violence and the latter, the presumed democracy, is mostly imposed by the intellectual control of the citizens, through the weapon of the mass media, through deception. The US mainly controls its population through ideological insititutions.
In the USSR workers were better off than in America, but they were more politicially repressed. They had a disparity in wealth; the bureacrats were better off than the average citiziens, but it is nothing like the gap between rich and poor we have. In America we are less politicially repressed and more economically repressed compared to the average Soviet.
... we are down right now. However, this time it isn't because of technical reasons but for legal issues.
This site has been disabled as requested by Blizzard Entertainment and it will remain closed as we have no legal recourse other than to file a lawsuit against a large corporation. This is due to 17 USC Section 512(c)(1)(C) (AKA DMCA, supposedly required to be passed by WIPO treaties). Blizzard claims bnetd is in violation of 17 USC Section 1201(b), though we do not agree with their interpretation. Blizzard refused to specify a specific list of files on this site so the whole thing must be blocked. We are very sorry for the inconvenience but there is nothing we can do.

Let me guess, anarcho-capitalist?

Alot of the 'racists' posting on slashdot like Ralph Nader Jew Hater, are joking. I personally find some of his posts humorous and refreshing.

Millions? Did they even check their facts.
I never knew the Kazaa network had Sopranos.
No wonder why he has over 600 book reviews on his site. I could review 600 books in two months, if I avoided reading them.

TTHB!
Time to hate Blizzard! Woot!
worldwide democracy- never mentioned in that article, I searched for it to be sure and it was not there
global pluralism - is when there are more than global powers like what we had back in the days of two superpowers, the USSR and the USA
supra-society - the large multinational corporations that are usurping government power
You are just an idiot, those words are only doublespeak to people who do not know what they mean.
Most of the worlds capital belongs to a the large corporations.
