Yes, but if they blocked everything but their own specified content I think that Chinese citizens might notice that 90% of their internet just went away and never came back. That kind of thing is what starts people thinking more than the goverment would feel comfortable with..
why not complain to microsoft, as a customer, and see if you can't get the beast to go after them for causing problems with their product. =] wouldn't it be funny to see one huge company take out another one we don't like. kind of like in doom when the imps kill each other.....
just a note, i dont know what you're talking about the "frank herbert estate atrocities", because if you're referring to dune: house atreides and dune:house harkonnen i think they're great. just because they weren't written by frank herbert himself doesn't mean they aren't worth reading. in fact i like how they provide a story that leads directly into where the original dune started and i, simply put, will cream when they complete dune 7 and i get to read it and figure out what happens with all the honored matres crap. i guess it's just a matter of opinion =]
set up a win XP box on a network behind a cable modem and have it go through a linux gateway with a packet sniffer and figure out EXACTLY what its doing then.
i personally still use win98 for my windows machine cuz its all i need. i'll never use win XP because it scares me =[

one problem i can see in your ideas for the search engine. ping times to the node could only be calculated if you knew their actual address, but since freenet is designed to obscure the true origin of files it wouldn't really work. unless of course it calculated the ping time between you and the node you connect to, then them to the next, and so on till the file is reached and then the ping times would just be added together and returned.
all they claim is that you can say "where is this IP located?" and it gives a general approimation of the geographical location it would be located in. businesses could target ads using the geographical location of the IP as a guide for what a person might be more interested in buying(like mariners caps for IPs located in seattle, a sea world discount pass for people in florida or san diego, etc). it doesnt mean they claim to be able to track usage of somebody based on their IP.
regardless of who "owns" the fetus, the mother has the right to prevent it from leeching her own bodies resources. you'd probably have no problem, morally, with picking a leech off of your skin. you'd never say "its the leches right to be there". while a fetus forming and a leech eating may not be the exact same thing, it's the sameprinciple. if a woman doesn't want a baby in her it is her right to remove it. if people are so concerned with saving lives, what they need to do is design a machine to support a fetus until it is fully formed, and not try to force a woman to let another body leech off of her against her will.
haha. you are a funny guy. i find a person who anonymously calls somebody a loser based on something they do for fun to be just as much of a loser. especially when it has absolutely no impact on them(and no, it doesn't. i do it in the privacy of my own home and never bug anybody.)
i was gonna write this huge reply to this but i actually got high about 15 minutes before i read the article and am having trouble following my train of thought long enough to write it down. lol
i'm high at this moment and i can say of the few times i drove(very few) i actually drove with the same sense i usually do. if anything i was more freaked out about doing it perfectly and did it better. its not like a chris farley movie where you get all slow and stuff(whle you do actually feel slower, you learn to control it after about 2 times smoking). so when i go the speed limit of 45 it just feels like i'm going fast instead of feeling normal at 10. so many bad assumptions about weed it saddens me. i think i may move to holland or seattle someday but still can't decide which would be better. lol

if that were true wouldn't US players play all regions since there is no censorship requirements inside the US?
right click it, when you get the message box, hit space and quickly right click again and the right click menu will open(works in netscape 4.x and IE 4 and 5, not sure about mozilla). i use it to get around pages that get a little javascript happy and all i want is a link from the page. have fun.
if something happens that proves somebodies beliefs wrong, then obviously they are wrong and are foolish to go on believing it. if they can't deal with cloning its their own problem . not the cloners problem
I don't think anybody would use a microsoft linux distribution. nobody who already uses linux would at the very least. newcomers would ask their friends who use linux already which distribution they should use, and would be directed away from microsofts version. it wouldn't really be a big deal.
we're not borg. every person has different opinions on slashdot. i guarantee that not two people on slashdot have the exact same opinions on things. what you just did is called generalization. and its a bad thing =]
if any elite script kiddies are reading, think how funny it would be to DDoS www.flatplanet.net. "what?!?!?! you mean people are doing unethical things to US!!? i would've never seen it coming...."
as soon as a possible competitor comes up on their radar(there aren't any so far that scare them except napster), they will use their still much larger size to crush them, same as microsoft.
they are able to price fix because they have a monopoly(yes monopoly) on any artist who's music they sell. metallica's label has a monopoly on the music of metallica. nobody else sells metallica's music except metallica's label(or people selling second hand but that doesn't really count). people think that because there's more than oen label they don't singularly control the market but it isn't true. any given label 100% market share on any band they promote(with probably a few eceptions). it goes beyond having the monopoly, they ABUSE this monopoly. if 50 different companies were selling metallica albums do you think they would all still cost $20 each? no. they're be trying to undercut the others and it would drive the price down. thats the big problem that needs to be fought against. consumers are too lazy to organize anything themselves(especially if they don't really realize a problem exists), so the government has decided to step in and take care of it themselves.
on windows 98 and ME, IE is loaded into memory at startup, or at least a large chunk of it. NT is the one microsoft wants to make look fast, so they don't have IE load at bootup.

That's so funny that you should say that because, here I am, wearing a "Metal Up Your Ass" Metallica T-shirt at work while reading this.

copyright, not patent. if you circumvent copyright protection then you're in for it. nobody ever said anything about circumventing a patent

not to mention that if it spreads in the same manner as the original worm it will suck bandwidth just like the worm does.

i flew out of my body once(okay thirteen times) while i was on shrooms.
one person used this example in his argument:

3 the law in various territories is different with
4 regard to censorship requirements. So we cannot
5 simply distribute the same work throughout the world
