Support for.wmz skins? Right on. Now I can get all those cool skins that my friend has on his Winamp. Next feature to look for? An anti-sysadmin mp3 disguising tool specifically for those that like to put mp3s on their school's servers...
Should be fun, but I still won't use it.

What I'm waiting for is the release of the OS-X source.
'Cause you're one of those evil 'hax0rz' that's out to take all capitalism out of the software and hardware industries. I don't know the laws of Norway enough to offer any advice, other than saying good luck in court. Try to get a court date during which the moon is in Aquarius. People tend to be more understanding and open minded during those times.
Too bad I don't have time to actually be at this chat. Then again, since this is on/., I expect a netsplit to occur. Illiad barely got away with 120+ simultaneous visits during the 2 year anniversary.
Is this a group just boasting or is there any fact to it?
I was listening to Art Bell a couple weeks ago and heard an old broadcast, I think from June or July of 98, with a few "hackers" on there that said they were dead serious about being able to take down the Internet in 20 minutes. I chuckled.
I mean, come on. Does ABC really have that much influence on legislators? 20/20 is nothing more than a video tabloid and World News Tonight ought to be renamed "Weekly World News Tonight - Now In Full Colour!" or something sensationalist along those lines. Oh, I hear you. "But, Count Spatula, people really do take notice of programs like this one, and politicians get their cues from these newscasters!" Drek. The people who take these programs seriously also think their cats are actually their children and buy the Enquirer because "Elvis isn't really dead, just hiding in Poughkeepsie". As far as politicians go, the more criminalization that occurs, the better. It makes them look good at election time.
Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft's thieves have conveyed to every goiter with the potential to combust in the cup industry. Through its conduct toward Netscape, Caldera, Compaq, Advanced Micro Devices, and others, Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense mice to harm any firm that insists on pursuing initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's flatulent products. Microsoft's past success in hurting such cars and stifling innovation deters investment in technologies and dictionaries that exhibit the potential to plunder Microsoft. The ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly benefit ledgers never occur for the sole reason that they do not sit with Microsoft's fan.
Spam still is a problem. How much bandwidth and storage is wasted daily on unsolicited commercial email? I actually sorta admire AOL in that they fought the spammers and won. I doubt this will "deter" any future spammers, but it will give them something to think about.
I know a few states, at least, have anti-UCE emails. However, it shouldn't be a nation or world wide thing. Suing is the correct path of action, because the spam itself takes up precious bandwidth, costs the end-user (in terms of connection time), and costs the ISP (in terms of storage). I'm hoping that this makes an impact on the amount of spam, but I'm not holding my breath.
Now, I have to get back to making my AOL coasters...
The question still remains: for what purpose are we exploring Mars? Sure, knowledge about other planets is good, but would Mars be a viable colony, or Yet Anther Dusty Rock? Even the discovery of water molecules in the subsurface of the planet doesn't speak much of its possibility as a future base. I think the best we can hope for out of this mission is just a better understanding of extraterrestrial environments. *sigh*
I have used, for example, the first letter of the first name of my immediate family, alternating the caps according to gender, sorted on age. Or, sometimes, I will use the third letter of each name, arranging them in alphabetical order on first letter, or on age, or even on gender/age. It usually generates good, easily rememberable passwords, and someone else would have to know both your method and whole immediate family to guess correctly. If I feel the need to throw a number or symbol in the mix, I put it either after the parents' names or at the midpoint.
With the cost savings of bypassing micros~1, we could spend more money on the hardware.
This is exactly why I want to convert my office over to Linux. However, with the lack of a business version of CAD, it's not viable. I'm really hoping this goes down, so I can get my boss away from this Winblows crap and on *real* computers.
I told him that he and his other designer (construction company) could save mucho time by going with Linux running Apache to serve the office, rather than the NT behemoth we have to deal with daily now, and he agreed, but didn't find a CAD or design program that would do what his AutoCAD does, as far as designing houses, decks, etc. goes.
Any ideas on where I can get info on how to get him to finally let me install?

Pretty much sums it up, too.

This is *almost* as frivolous as the HUD suing gun makers.
"Oh, they were/are a part of something that we don't like? Well, we'll just sue them."
It's crap like this that makes America a less likable place. Emigration to Holland, anyone?
