  1. Re:You should have to pay to read on Why Not To Meter Internet Access · · Score: 1
    That's not homophobia, anymore than a link to AA is fear of alcoholics. Homosexualism IS a deviant mental disorder, and those who suffer from it need to be helped. They can be cured, just as others who suffer from mental defect can be helped to lead a normal, productive life.

    No, just a whole lot of those 'Do Not Eat' packets. Then there's no pink goo to get rid of.

    As for the "Pro-Drug culture", we are not pro-drugs, we are pro-freedom. You remind me of the anti-abortion people saying that the pro-choice side is pro-abortion.

    Yes. That is correct. THe only 'choice' encouraged by the anti-LIFE side is that of fetal homicide.

    Didn't make much sense to the economy?

    The current economic boom is the direct result of Ronald Reagan's fiscal policy. We are currently in the 20th year of the most productive, and profitable period since WWII.

    Do you really think they care about the /. audience for this stuff? They are looking mass-market. The real money is in selling it to frat boys with trust funds, mall rats, and yuppies. To sell to these people, you need Britney, N'Sync and Seventeen magazine to sell to these people.

    Face it, if these things are hackable, geeks would buy them if Janet Reno was modelling them and they came only in grey plastic.

    It's stupid. The architecture of Gnutella is what's broken, not the code which implements it. A true peer to peer network is inherently limited.

    What is this obsession people have with getting more people to vote. I'm glad so few people vote in the US. A low turnout gives my vote greater weight. Do we really want the great, ignorant, unwashed masses casting votes based on the last political commercial they saw, in which they were promised anything they want from the teat of the government sow?

    Vote for George W. Bush

    Search engines (and any webcrawling 'bots') don't index sites where they find a 'robots.txt' file. This is called the Robot Exclusion Principle

    This is not strictly true. The robots.txt file contains patterns which tell the robot what parts of the site they are allowed to index.

  25. There are parallels... on Hacker Crackdown? · · Score: 1
    in the story of the USA's development of nuclear weapons. The scientists involved in the original Manhattan Project, during the depths of the war developed the first A-Bomb as a tool to end the war quickly.

    Some, but not all continued development after the war, leading to the H-Bomb, after the USSR had demonstrated an A-Bomb. Many o fthe original scientists refused to work on the H-Bomb, many for reasons of conscience. They saw what they had wrought, and began to think differently about it.

    Bill Joy may be having some of the same thoughts. At least it appears that his thinking is moving in the same direction.
