I know this is off topic, but read me before you moderate. It is a fucking crime that people voted the Backstreet Boys as being the 3rd greatest musicians the civilized world has ever known! WTF!!!!!!
How could a corporately manufactured piece of shit like the Backstreet Boys be considered for anything other than the greatest marketing scheme pushed on pre-pubescent females.
This illustrates the mental capacity of the people who did the voting. They rated Beethoven #10! WTF!

If you hate the Backstreet Boys like I do please moderate me up! Thanks!
---------- No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.
But the larger goal is to solve these problems, not get the greatest efficientcy. If the pretty client waists 10% of the CPU power, but attracts 20% more people in using it, your ultimate goal is more achived.

Then it is heavly loged not to procecute people but to find out how they are trying and make sure their real servers can't be cracked in this way.
How is this any more valuable then just paying close attention to your productive boxen (like any sysadmin would)?
I believe it would have a 10 fold effect if script kiddies were taken to court and cained. I think we should have these honey pots sitting out ready to be owned. Once owned they should figure out were these people are and prosecute them to the full extent of the law... if we fined/jailed a few kiddies it wouldn't take long beofre the whole comunity started to respect other people property... remember - people are not born with an instinct of respect. It is only through cost beneift analysis that respect is given, example... if there was a 10% chance of me being caught, and a mandatory $5,000.00 fine for hacking, then god knows someone with a brain wouldn't be doing it.

I have to agree.... It was near impossible to get the hardware working on my IBM Think Pad under NT4, whereas RH6.2 installed cleanly and I had the modem working in an hour or so... Never got it to work with NT4.

I am glad that there was dialog at the conference that promoted free speech as something of importance. I have been to similar conferences (not in topic), and people get sooooo lost in the financial (bottom line) aspects of such innovations that we end up building a system that sets the framework for true content control. This can only lead to new ?hate crime,? legislation that one day will never allow a packet with a naughty word imbedded in it move through the internet. Never give them the chance to regulate the content, it will only be abused by those with more power, and or money?. Just my $0.02.

Often we lose sight of what makes life worth living... Retire at the age of 38...if you worked like that until you were 38 you would be a fat, un-sociable, loozer! I work 45 hours a week programming, sure I don't make mega bucks, but I have asked myself over and over and over again... is making 30% more worth working 70 hours a week FUCK NO! Life is about relationships with people... how many 70+ hour a week people are human? I love the spending my Saturday putzing around the house or working on personal hobbies, rather than 12 hours in the office being a coding whore/robot... there is no way someone working 70 hours a week has anything left worth living for. Work to live don't live to work! My $00.02

How could this be a problem in a country where we have Intel and Microsoft?
WTF?!?!?! Why should we give them the, "benefit of the doubt," we are talking about a device that __could__ be a key to subverting our privacy. I think we should question every step they take, and scrutinize every word they say. The reviewer's personal feelings about how we ask questions takes a far back seat to the concept of freedom, and the strong protection of it

Katz...... Why are you so protective of the first amendment, but have a distain for the second? In my opinion the 1st amendment is protected by a society who can keep the government at check by being armed! I only say this because you made a small comment about guns being a problem in our society. I know you are smarter than that! Guns are not the problem, but rather the abuse of guns created by a society, which believes violence is an answer, is more getting to the point. Have a nice day:-)
It does not matter what the truth is, or how prior courts ruled on simular cases. It is very simply a group of companies that have chosen to stick to an economical model that is slowly dying... and they have a lot of money to protect it (buying politicians etc..) and will continue to do so untill their model is no longer profitable. DONT FUCKING BUY A CD/DVD... spread the word!
Every time I tried to view the front page of/. it came up waaaaaaay funky. 1 - Did anyone else experiance this? 2 - Is there more to this problem then just a DDoS? mcd
When or how can I get/. on my Plam via AvantGo? Productivity wise I think this could be the worst possibel thing to happen to me... if only my boss new! I could be reading/. while some idiot suit babbles on in one of a dozen or so corporate meetings I am forced to attend. Any help in furthering my/. addiction would be appriciated.
My university only teaches advanced courses in Java. In taking any advanced comp-SCI course it is far more important to learn the fundamentals of things such as algorithms, OO, data structures, entity relationships etc. than to spend all day mulling over the syntax of a given program. Syntax is easy to learn... the concepts of OO are much harder to learn, as seen by the people who think they know how to produce OO code.

Your exactly right... that is why the DMCA and all of this other stuff is B as in B, S as in S...
