I really don't care where john puts his articles. If Sengan or whoever wrote a book about politics, for example, I would still be fine with it being on slashdot because it is someone who is working with Rob. Perhaps I don't like the feeling that John is using slashdot to sell his writtings, i don't really like any book review on slashdot, because it feels like a sale.
as for posts being moderated, i don't like it either. I understand people's desire for a better signal to noise, but there is too much room for abuse. That's why I set my threashhold to -5, so I can view everything. Unfortunitly, the average user does not have their setting at -5. I think perhaps a compromise is to have a default of 0 and not have posts go bellow 0. Then if someone wants a higher (someone else's choice of) signal to noise, they can raise the threshold, but joe slashdot will have uncensored content. I would rather not have any moderation at all, but I beleive I would be in the minority. -- Four years in jail No Trial, No Bail
There is a couple people working on playing DVDs. Already there are reports of unencrypted DVDs played under Linux. http://www.rpi.edu/~veliaa/linux-dvd/ says that http://linuxtv.openprojects.net/ can play unencrypted DVDs. There are a couple Mpeg-2 codecs but they seem to be for non-comercial usage. -- Four years in jail No Trial, No Bail

BO can allow someone to steal your keys and take the keystrokes for your password, allowing them to effectivly become you. (i wonder if there is something like this already in windows)
In order to become more secure, you have to have secure protocols using encryption. a read-only disk is a start, a seperate computer only for pgp (or gpg) is another. (but it is troublesome) -- Four years in jail No Trial, No Bail
Slashdot Mirror
Case 1: Law passes
-Spammers get out of state/country accounts
-You still get spam
Case 2: Law fails
-You still get spam
It just doesn't matter.
What's worse is if we lose any rights due to this. But just based on stopping spam, a law won't help.

Almost picked 352 as my favorite instead, when i posted as an AC. A tear came to my eye when I originally read it, it reminded me of years past....
