Bad idea to invite government to regulate every aspect of our lives. The computer user takes some responsibility for the work done, by virtue of getting referrals in advance. Low skills should lead to no business... just by simple market forces.
I don't see the Scream guy. What I DO see in the lower left quadrant is a hippy/Einstein character. His head starts at the top of the quadrant, with mustach, eyes and nose in the nearly transparent section... going down hair and shirt below.
If these guys could get their QuickPad Pro beyond the vaporware stage (It was due out in September, then October. They do have another, older, less attractive product), it would be a great "2nd laptop," very light and efficient, CF storage, runs DOS apps, including programming environments.
Something like the old Tandy Model 102, but waaaay more flexible and useful.
The missing hard drives at Los Alamos have been found. Apparently they fell behind a copy machine
Notice that in none of the stories does it say photocopy machine. Consider that it may have been a hard drive copier.
One story today quotes Los Alamos residents as saying the incident was blown out of proportion... as if their opion matters and their wishing would make it so.
It's possible that they're not putting this here to provide "support", but instead are putting it there to give the illusion that it's a common issue for Linux users to want to delete it and install Windows.
If side A tells everyone on side B that side B's boss wants them to surrender, then they kill them while they're surrendering, that's just not very moral.
OK, I now understand that there are already similar laws against lying during war. Still...
Agreed that if they surrender under false pretense, and are killed: war crime.
But, if they surrender under false pretense, and are captured: seems pretty creative. Case could even be made that it's more humane than continued campaign with bullets and bombs.
From what I understood of the article, it was merely saying that the use of falsely generated images during war in order to confuse the enemy is against international law.
Yes, seems about what it's saying. But, I'd call that creative warfare, not really different from any other form of propaganda or deception. Just because it's set in video form? Bah! If they want to label propaganda efforts as war crimes, then all warring nations have engaged in war crimes.
It is the spam natzies out there that are slowly but surely making it impossible to send e-mail to anyone in the hopes of opening new communication streams.
The "non-spam" you speak of sure sounds like spam to me. "Opening new communication streams" would indicate unsolicited E-mail.
My father does MLM in his spare time (he's 55) and even if e-mail is solicited, he still gets reported for spam. Simply because the person who gets the e-mail, automatically assumes what he has sent them is spam.
I see the point, here. But, apparently the recipients didn't realize that they were signing up for an MLM come-on, which is still junk.
I've been playing with filters in Netscape mail. I finally noticed that 99% of the spam I get is not even addressed to ME. (Maybe someone can explain how that works.) So, I made a single filter that requires my E-mail address to be in the "To:" field. It's a beautiful thing!

Damn! You got it. Thanks.

I'm new on /., still getting used to the moderated scoring system. Is there a particular benefit to posting anonymously (FFA in #141)?
