    So your punished without even a fair trial to prove that you where shareing illegal content.

  3. Re:Anon blogs may be best way to curtail abuse on Police Director Sues AOL For Critical Blogger's Name · · Score: 1

    This is yet another attempt at silencing freespeech.

    Whats wrong with libel?

    Is it not free speech?

  5. Re:You are NOT sharing your password! on MySpace Joins OpenID Coalition · · Score: 1

    It's true about the mail box.

    But openID doubles the risk since there are now 2 accounts that can be compromised instead of just the one.

  6. Re:OpenID? on MySpace Joins OpenID Coalition · · Score: 1

    I've ever heard of it used on. I've never been to an OpenID site.

    That's because most people try to encourage their users to be MORE secure.

    So now you really are fucked if someone gets your password.

    1. Too logical.

    Ummm..

    Ok.

    Why not disable the voicemail?

    Followed of course by the conventional phone call.

    Off?

    What is this concept?

    We /.ers don't understand.

  13. Re:Nice pictures on It's Not Just O2 Leaking MMS Messages · · Score: 1

    If it's the former then requiring authentication might be possible, but that'd be a real pain for the latter. Having random, unguessable paths as unique keys is about all you can do without crippling the ability to share them.

    I'd rather recive pictures via email than use link to someone else's server.

  15. Re:I'd be happy if pirates* would acknowledge... on Companies Coming Around To Piracy's Upside? · · Score: 1

    Why, then, should anyone pay for the software?

    Because if you like something it's nice to support the author.

    I payed for mIRC despite it being free.

    I have also purchased DVDs even after downloading them, I fail to see any harm in downloading something for free, I don't even take any bandwidth from the author.

  16. Re:I'd be happy if pirates* would acknowledge... on Companies Coming Around To Piracy's Upside? · · Score: 1

    Because software isn't food or clothing. You're not entitled to it. If you can't afford it, use a free alternative, or nothing at all. You'll still be alive tomorrow even if you don't get to use the latest and greatest software.

    So let me reverse the question with the above: Why is it that you feel people are entitled to luxury?

    Because they can get it!

    What gives you the right to tell someone they are not entitled to it, them gaining something doesn't affect you in anyway.

  17. Re:I'd be happy if pirates* would acknowledge... on Companies Coming Around To Piracy's Upside? · · Score: 1

    I download because I don't want to pay?

    Products are only worth what someone is willing to pay, and Im not willing to pay.

    most people don't RTFA,

    Why not copy the whole article onto slashdot? that would reduce the load on linked sites dramatically.

    If we are going to learn a new system we should use morse code, not only can we do it with just one button but we can also recive messages by touch quite easily.

    The point is we shouldn't have to use a third party DNS.

  22. Re:Good Grief on Canadian ISP Hijacking DNS Lookup Errors · · Score: 1

    So if my server is offline my visitors get redirected to another site, what happens when my server comes back online? I guess I have to wait for the user to flush their DNS.

    I don't want my users being taken to another site if the server in oneday offline.
