Yes, just as I was pointing out how the Dubya whiners are doing the same thing by whining "But Bush did it too!!!" whenever Obama attempts to outdo Dubya in stupid when it comes to foreign and domestic policy. Just because Clinton did something doesn't excuse Dubya same as just because Dubya did something doesn't excuse Obama's latest braindead policy.
Nothing in the abstract or the linked article makes any claims of being the first any discovery. All this is about is that this particular project had its first hit. The rest is just sensationalist nonsense from the summary writer.
If I stole all your banking and credit information and wanted to leak it to the Internet would you realistically entertain me asking you for help redacting information before I leaked it?
Nice attempt at dodging the question. Are you seriously saying you would help someone who took your personal documents in redacting them so they could leak them on the Internet?
Not that I'm taking a stand either way, but to realistically expect anyone to want to willfully help someone redact information from documents that were stolen from you so they can leak them to the Internet is absurd.
Corporations don't have the power to send armed agents to kick in my door and slap handcuffs on me.....
The easy to find FBI raids on behalf of software, record and movie companies speaks to the contrary. They very much do have the political power to get armed agents to kick in your door and arrest you.
And yes, those acts were repealed, but it just goes to show that the 1st Amendment has taken a backseat to government interest since pretty much the beginning.
I didn't say all my posts were me joking. I was only referring to the post above. Either way, the fact that you take what I post so personally means you really need to get a life.
I never managed to make the audio system in Windows XP behave as i would like. I have 2 sound output devices(Headphones and an usb headset) and I never managed to control which software did output to which sound device. And I also miss a Windows application to control the sound level on an "per application" level. And features such as redirect audio to other computers.
So the best you can do is bash a 9 year old operating system for being unable to do something that Linux couldn't do at the same time either? Are you fucking stupid or what?
Slashdot Mirror
...and FORTRAN.NET
Here you go. Though it's probably about 10 years old by this point considering you can find a codeproject page about it from 2001.
Have no fear then.
And he's promised that he really IS going to make you his bitch this time!

No idea how you combine those two into "The claim that this is the first discovery to be made through distributed computing".
Brain damage maybe?
Idiot summary writer coupled with the typical incompetence of a Slashdot "editor".

That's because the summary writer is an idiot. To quote the article:
The pulsar discovery, announced today on the journal Science's website, marks the first time Einstein @ Home has had a hit.
Yeah, well it's wrong. The article nor the researchers make such a claim.
The pulsar discovery, announced today on the journal Science's website, marks the first time Einstein @ Home has had a hit.
That is what the article states.
Folding@Home has previously discovered quasars? What? Maybe next time you should work on actually reading the entirety of the headline?

Wow, you people are still hung up on Clinton? You people are far more annoying than the Dubya whiners and Obama worshippers combined.

Free country, my ass. You no longer have freedom of speech.
You're about 212 years behind the times.

Unfortunately most Slashdotters will never experience either scenario.
One cannot use a product that has not been distributed.
Yes, but the distributor of the product is the one who gets in trouble not the user.
Please allow me to rephrase: I am speculating on the right of United States residents to obtain VideoLAN products.
And it's still irrelevant to what the DMCA says.
My post wasn't being serious. Maybe you need to lighten up a fuckton if you take my posts that personally?
I know. That's why I write all my webpages in x86 assembly.

We have cities with comparable populations to those entire countries.
Since when was there are city in the US with 65 million people (population of France)?
For another, I am speculating on the right of United States residents, including the editors of Slashdot, to use VideoLAN products.
Using the product isn't the issue. The DMCA is about the distribution of a product to circumvent protection schemes.
You've basically made this same post how many times now? Like 6?
They also tend to be able to crush people with their girth.
