Well, I don't agree with the arrest of Sklyarov, but I think you missed the point of the original post.
The products you sited and not illegal in the US (even the gun), but yes they are regulated.
Under the stupid DMCA, Sklyarov's program is just illegal, so yes, it would seem he would be breaking that stupid law if he was selling it.
That's what the DMCA does, and that's why it should be struck down. Selling a gun is less dangerous than this program under current law, what a travesty !
Funny, I don't see the government shutting down the version of the presbiterian church that accepts homosexuality. Nor, shutting down the churches with openly gay ministers.
It's easy to throw accustations around, it's pretty hard to back them up though.
More to the point: an enemy ICBM launched toward the United States has a big, flaming return address stamped on it. Any nation foolhardy enough to attack in such a manner would, for all intents and purposes, cease to exist thirty minutes later.
That's true, but what if the leader doesn't care if all it's people get whiped out ?
Or even more plausible , what if a military "launch base" is taken over by a terrorist organization ? Sounds like a good way to hurt the US and wipe out an enemy country at the same time !
Remind me to invent a virus that could kill off all americans.. might be kinda hard though, with all the races involved. I'll look for genes containing self-centered, paranoid, arrogant and megalomanious behavior, that should do it.
A virus to kill all "Americans" ? What did Brazil , Argentina, Colombia, Panama, Mexico, Canada, and the rest of the Americas do to you ?
Anyways, you'll have a tough time getting your virus to work because we're not the Borg over here as you already noted on the racial front, but also on the opinions one too. Weird that you assume all or most people here have those traits ?
Were do you live, that everybody thinks and acts the same ? I want to steer away from your country !
... to encourage people to get the source and put it Gnutella ?
C'mon people, this is not open source, they were selling the source and are now cancelling the effort (who knows why). But by making little comments like that, you're making us look like a community of software pirates not open source advocates !
I think there is a lot of truth in your post, with the major point being objection to the content.
While salon.com has some articles of interest, they usually just lean "left" most of the time (whatever that means), and offer little intelligent articles explaining the "other side".
As a non-extremist, I'd like to see different views, not propaganda. To me salon.com is just as absurd as it's opposite twin newsmax.com, why a person would trust "investigative" journalism from sites with political agendas will always escape me.
And who says emulators should be free? Other than you?
? Where did I claim to be the representative of all opinions on planet earth.
To recoup those costs, they have to make money. That's a simple fact of life of the capitalist society in which we live.
I believe in making money for software, I just prefer emulators to be free, like the dozens of emulators out there for machines like Atari, Coleco, Apple II, etc.
All I said was they get no symphaty from me, not that there should be a law against what they're doing. Geez !
They have costs involved in coding them
MAME team does too, and theirs is a more robust and complicated product. Bleem must be doing something wrong !:-)
If i wanted JAVA on the PS2 i'd buy a PC. Hell, i have one.
You do that, I for one, can't wait make some cool games for it and play it on my TV while showing off to friends. I'm hoping they port the 1.4 VM which has better J2D support and fullscreen mode.
I don't listen to CDs on my PS2, but I've been watching DVD movies on it for some time now, and love it. No need to waste money on a DVD player, when I already have a game machine that does that.
The messages had quotes and matters relating to Scientology, so I guess the judge felt that would prejudice the jury.
In addition, keep in mind, that they were not allowed to mention Scientology at all in the trial, so the defense couldn't even explain why Henson was opposing this "Church".
Did jurors didn't even know the "Church" in question here was Scientology.
They didn't even get to hear, why this guy was picketing against them. For all they know, he was picketing the local Synagoge or burning crosses in front of a black Church.
Hopefully, with him being in Canada, this case can get more national press and expose the DA & the Judge in this case. What the heck are they doing ?!?!?!?
If you want to maintain a strong sense of Hyperbole, might I recommend instead using non-existent science-fiction weapons? Threaten to use a Death Star or anti-matter weapons. Perhaps you should add a further touch of the comedic by threatening somebody with a 747 full of rabid weasels.
Uh, last time I checked, "Tom Cruise Missiles" was a non-existent weapon.
The DA & the Scientology lawyer somehow convinced the judge to not allow the full thread nor context of the posts to be used.
Why was the DA working WITH the Scientology lawyers ???
This is a criminal case, you don't get to "parter up" with the other lawyers when you are the DA in this manner. Very strange.
Also, Keith's motivations for picketing and posting $cientology criticism were not allowed either.
From the point of view of the jurors, Keith just hated these "religious" people for theheck of it, and from that one quote, he did seem obsessed with weapons.
Slashdot Mirror
... but might not let you use their media player and chat programs (and other stuff) without the "passport".
Wow ! Is like MS is trying as hard as possible to convince people not to buy/use XP !!!
Also, anybody know if this thing pops up for broadband connections ? If so, when does it pop up ?
Let me guess, you've paid lots of money for your M$ certification and are now afraid of loosing your job ?
I pity you !

I could only count about 5-8 in the NY shots. Oh boy ...

Complaints about US human rights abuses are nothing against the ones from China, so please, there is NO comparison.
Do remember that there is no freedom of religion, a real freedom of the press, and other things that are basic rights in China.
And let's not even get into the selling of organs mess going on down there.
... to encourage people to get the source and put it Gnutella ?
C'mon people, this is not open source, they were selling the source and are now cancelling the effort (who knows why). But by making little comments like that, you're making us look like a community of software pirates not open source advocates !
A website for people to whine about George Lucas not releasing a DVD ! Wow, how pathetic !

That looks pretty great, I'm glad they've improved it so much, I really hated the "Modern Skin" when it came out.
Thanks (in advance)

...
I am surprised why I still waste my time here.
I wonder about that too, perhaps you're a masochist ?
Any ways, I don't like Katz and his horrible articles, but c'mon, you're upset because people bash and flame a corporation ?
What's the matter, are we hurting the corporation's feelings ?
Oh my
You can even get a cheaper PSOne, but the point is, I wanted to get a PS2 anyways, so it's a good thing for me.
And who says emulators should be free? Other than you?

This is going to be too cool !

They get no sympathy from me.
I'm all for emulators, if they're free, as they should be.
Bye, bye Bleem !
News for Nerds. Stuff that matters
Quick, come up with an excuse to make this show relevant to slashdot !
Here's my try :
Iron Chef has an Engrish translation.

Well, I agree, but then again it wasn't you or me facing 200 days in jail and 5 years probation.
Also, this guy is bankrupt, guess why ?
You are correct.
The DA & the Scientology lawyer somehow convinced the judge to not allow the full thread nor context of the posts to be used.

What a miscarriage of justice !
