Actually, I think it's kinda funny. They could completely lock out people's MAC addresses by changing the MAC, getting themselves banned, changing the MAC, getting themselves, banned, repeat, repeat, repeat. Then the banning would more or less become useless.
Think they can monitor the credit card number? There's plenty of fake/stolen ones out there, and they can use those.
And in other news, the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act illegalizes the sale of Mary Jane. That's some tax, isn't it? What about the new name of the Super-DCMA bill? (S.2048)
Actually, around 99% of the files from FTP are there to trade copyrighted information, and everybody knows that most of the web is used for porn. (Only during 9/11 did news sites surpass porn sites, and only for one day.) Most of IRC is being used for trading of copyright information, also.
My question is: what's your point? We like warez and porn.
Well, when you're doing a free online comic every day, it takes more time to do it in color. Be grateful that you're able to read the comic, instead of bitching about it.
I totally agree. I've been searching desperately for reruns of DS9 ever since it went off the air, and just haven't been able to find them (on television). Most people claim that DS9 was a bad ripoff of B5, and I tend to agree, except for the "bad" part. I thought it was well written, fairly well acted ripoff, with much better special effects. I do wish there were equivalent cast members for Leeta and Talya [sic?] on DS9 though.
I always enjoyed B5 better than DS9, but DS9 was welcomed diversion that I would keep up with since they were on different timeslots.
I loved TNG as a kid, but now I watch it and wonder what I was thinking. People in tights standing in a room talking about "issues" while the camera gets shaken every now and then. Nowadays I just feel bad for Patrick Stewart for having to put up with the whole concept (having experienced several of his performances off-broadway).
I agree that TNG is starting to get dated as a sci-fi show, but it's still good stuff. I think Patrick Stewart liked the idea much better than some of his other roles. (What was that stupid kid's movie he was in? He's been in much worse stuff.) Considering he was in X-Men, I have a feeling he enjoys being in diverse roles.
I always thought Voyager was a joke. How couldn't it be? First ever (televised, on a Trek) female starship captain. Pilot episode: she gets her crew hopelessly lost and spends the rest of the series trying to find her way back. To add insult to injury, how many times was the Enterprise and its experienced, battle-hardened crew completely destroyed by a broken, underpowered, 20-year old stolen Klingon ship, or a subspace anomaly? Yet Voyager (and its ragtag, fresh-from-the-womb crew) were indestructible, even to the Borg and Species 8579 (or whatever)! Too bad there was never a punchline.
Voyager: A three-hour tour...a three-hour tour... Definately the Gillian's Island of Star Trek.
Of course I like TOS, but after you've seen every episode 700 times, it gets hard to watch. Although I still try to watch it now and then just to support "space-oriented" shows on the SciFi channel.
Yeah, but the best way to support your sci-fi shows is to get Farscape back on the air.
Enterprise? Uhm. Right. WTF? Does _anyone_ enjoy that PC drivel?
Ugh...pure commericialized bullshit. Ever since Gene and the Wolf left, the whole ST universe has turned to crap. The ST:TNG movies are mostly BS, and they seem to screw with the characters too much. Data's emotional chip is merely a lite diversion, rather than a total change of character. (They turn the thing off during the entire First Contact movie!)
Okay, how about some sites that have actually had some success with getting games put into the public domain? I know the id Software and a few other companies do it, but that's just because of their own free will, not because a petition convinced them to.
In matters of freedom, the door swings both ways. You can't throw out the bad without throwing out the good. Case in point, the ACLU has defended the KKK's right to assemble and hold their rallys several times.
Do I support the KKKs cause? No. Do most ACLU members support their cause? No. Do I support the ACLU's stance on protecting the KKK's right to hold a rally? Hell yes!
If I don't, I might as well open the door for my right to rally be thrown out the window, in case MY cause decides to march down Washington.

Well, the media HAS been giving out too much information with publicly announcing those tapes. The first time we saw him, he didn't have a cloth behind him, so one of the media outlet analysts pointed out that they could probably figure out his location by the landscape. Well, of course, Bin Laden caught on and now he has a big sheet covering up the landscape (and his probable location).
There was way too much information that the media covered, as usual. I'm surprised the snipers were actually caught with the amount of detailed information that the media put out. ("Well, he's not shooting kids, so they're safe." Next day: "Oh, he just shot a kid!")
You know, I would put her in my friend's list, not for content, but just for interesting posts. However, I'm afraid it would taint my Friends of Friends list. In any case, it's refreshing to have intelligent females posting in this raving forum of male techs.
Is there an application to this theory with SpamAssassin? Right now, it's more or less human-edited words and phrases, but applying a real Bayesian method to it would increase it's accuracy. I've also consider making a filter that would change the scores of the different SA rules to reduce the false positives, but this would be a long project.
Yeah and it "could" look like a completely grey planet, covered in buildings and streets. Urban development is cool and all, but sometimes it gets in the way of stuff like....ummm...breathing and the temperature of the planet (ie: global warming). You have to maintain a healthy balance, which is clearly on the wrong side of technology right now. Mostly anything the DoNR does to promote how the land "used to" look is a good thing.

Yeah, just look at the Kyoto Accords.
I dunno about you, but I download at 3Mbps, so I don't understand how "a broadband connection is impractical and slow".
Two of the most popular services--Kazaa and Morpheus--do not support the Mac in their latest versions.
What about Hotline and FTP? What about the Gnuttela protocol?

I hate it when somebody mass FWDs a message fifty billion times this one simple joke, with a hundred greater-than signs on it, like:

Ahem...this is Quake, not an arcade machine. Where are you getting this "ROM dumps from the original arcade machines"?

Try telling that to the people that charged $4/gallon on 9/11.

Well, number #2 is Popup blocking, yet the Bugzilla crew still refuses to fix their main bug involving that "feature", listed here.
Well, it would affect my personal scoring of all of the other messages, since I have FoF set to +1 on my settings, and EoF set to -1.

Any links to the archive of devel messages? I didn't see much with the search for "Bayesian" in the list archive.

The back page of Maximum PC usually has some neat case mods. I saw one a month ago that was a combination coffee maker and PC.

No, I'm a dumbass. Sorry.
