Why sue anyone? It was the responsibility of the parents of the accused killers to raise their kids in a proper fashion. Suggesting that they should sue Sony because of the actions of their kids is sheer folly.
Where were the parents of the two accused killers when they were playing GTA in the first place? Yet another example of the "Victim Culture" the legal system has steered us towards.
I hope the appeals court rules in favour of the file sharers. The thought of all those American

moving up here to Canada was scaring me.
If they can draw parallels between the function of the software even though they were created in different languages (cobol and vb in this case) I'm relieved that the SCO lawsuit isn't being settled in British court.
The submitter writes ".. you can use any programming language you want" but Google's page says
"Use Java, C++, C# or VB.NET. Pick any of these programming languages to code your solutions. All are
acceptable and none is given an advantage." Unless I'm parsing this wrong, it sounds like one can't
use any language, only 1 of the 4 listed. (It's also odd that C isn't there but some proprietary languages
are)
Darl,
How do these numbers look? I spent 4 hours pulling
them out of my ass.

Chris,
That total looks great! Redo it without all the details

"..whose computers allow the propagation of viruses, worms, etc., knowingly or unknowingly.."
Rather than fining the people (victims?) of poorly written software and OSes, why not have a
class-action suit against the corporations that make the worms & viruses possible in the first place?
Most people are up in arms when the RIAA goes after the wallet of individuals who knowingly download their
Evil MP3s whereas the bulk of users that get these infections just don't know any better.
Fining lusers won't give them clues, education will.
Dear biggest retard,
I did read the article. My question was about the "modifies the air" line. It must do something to have the light from the projector reflect back, it can't just hit plain air without passing through.
Remember this lovely exchange when the facts come out, I shall.
Dear retard, I was wondering if it was a mist, fog, etc. It is not just projected onto "ambient air" as the light needs to hit something to reflect to your eyes. duh
I have to wonder if UsePrivilegeSeparation was enabled. (see
the manpage)
One message in the thread indicates it is but this isn't first-hand knowledge. If PrivSep was enabled then
is OpenBSD immune to this attack due to other parts of the OS being hardened (much like the zlib hole a few
months back)? Also are these default installations or are they "tweaked"? As an aside, PermitRootLogin
defaults to enabled, something I always disable as I have no need for it.
Even if this does count as a new remote hole in OpenBSD, it's still a phenomenal track record they can be proud of.
The machine modifies the air above a video projector
That tantalizing bit of information is all that is said about how it works. Does anyone know if it shoots a thin mist or fog to project the image on? One would imagine so, so using one of these displays in a room with active ventilation may screw up the image as the fog is blown around.
Slashdot Mirror
You miss my point entirely.

Lawyers make their living off of society's blood.
So how long before someone develops a cell phone that can be dunked in alcohol
Samsung already has. They may not have intended it but mine has been accidently soaked in booze more times than I care to (or can) remember.

I would like to see just one online petition that has carried any weight. It's the height of "slacktivism".
If I make a type for "slashdot" such as salhsdtot.com it suggests goatse.cx as a top candidate. That's some pretty smart AI VeriSign has.
That someone knowingly breaks an unjust law imparts it no justice.
Which is exactly why I don't free my slaves.
Phew!

Yes I understood what you were implying, I was just being a facetious bastard.
Yeah, that SSH web daemon yesterday and now the Sendmail web daemon. It goes with all those Microsoft RPC web daemon holes... duh.

Does anyone else miss the ability to push the power button and have their computer turn off now?
That capability is usually in your BIOS settings where you can toggle the instant off or delay (4 seconds on my machines).
When they get to TTX I'm sure there's a monitor manufacturer that will have something to say.
Woo! I'm fay-moose! ;)
I think we'd all be better off when solid state, non-mechanical disks become commonplace.
A company named SolidData sells solid state "drives".
"this board"
Are those the AOL keywords that led you to
Right, meaning that all their income is from those two firms during the last two quarters. Ergo, they have no other customers.
If nobody pays them, they go out of business. They have no money left.
Well no shit, Sherlock.
You really should demand a refund from the Albert Einstein Academy of Accounting.

"Canada Immune From RIAA?"
Being that the last letter in RIAA stands for "America", I would hope that all nations outside of the US are immune..
