The 1905 incident wasn't Bolshevik - the Bolsheviks hadn't even split from the Mensheviks at that point. The Russian socialists were only marginally involved in 1905. It is historically known as "Bloody Sunday," when tsarist troops fired upon thousands of peaceful, unarmed protestors. It essentially marked when the Russian people really started hating Nicholas II, even though he had nothing to do with the incident.
I think this is the first time I have almost had an orgasm due to an article on slashdot (that wasn't pr0n.) Akira! PS2?! I've got to start saving my pennies!
This has only been on vynil/cassette/CD for decades now. Why don't you guys actually buy a sound byte for a change?

...when other sectors are on the rise. This guy acts like all necessities will revolve around the digital. People will always need food, clothing, shelter, and want other things, like cars. The local industries in my area have been thriving because of the "New Economy." Factory workers are driving bimmers around town. Maybe Reagan was right on his "trickle-down" theory. (That'll be the day!)
My physics: motion and forces class is doing a pumpkin launch this month. Now if I only had a budget, I could get something like those launchers, launch those gourds off campus...
Many "undernets" will spring up across the Internet which use strong cryptography, tunnelling, and have their
own email, news, and other systems. I know for a fact that this has already happened, and they have restricted
access and fairly complex entrance systems.
This is news to me. I know of stuff like gnutella and locked IRC channels, but are there authentic undernets that corolate to scientific and military übernets like the Grid?
If I remember correctly, they're doing that. Check out http://www.discovery.com/
They found a mammoth in the north. As soon as they dug it out of the ice, they immediately harvested its genes.
Has anyone here even cracked open one of those things? Those things really are pieces of sh*t! The encryption is weak, pretty much alpha-numeric, the scanner itself hardly ever scans, and about the only thing you can really do with it is take out a few chips and turn it into a regular scanner like the one your school library uses (which, BTW, is what the librarians at my school would like me to do now that they know this). I really don't see what the big deal with all of this sh*t I'm seeing posted up every other day. G*d (asterisk added because I'm Jewish and it's rosh hashana), this is worse than MPAA/RIAA articles every other hour (when I hate what both organizations pump out!)
This would definitely pave the way for more operating systems for the masses of people who really don't give a f-ck about what kernel they're using or what video card they're using. This would really be the whole point of the anti-trust suit, disrupting the monopoly.
Anyone here ever played the Monopoly board game with the FTC involved? It's fun as hell. Especially when you own the railroads and you refuse passage for the federal investigators. hehehe
Despite the Watchowski bros.'s Luddist lifestyle (the Matrix was written on a mechanical typewriter), the Martix was more about rebelling against the social norm of accepting the illusions of your reality for the truth.
A good example of this would be turning on most any sitcom. By accepting this as a mirror of life, you would assume that it's all good. No troubles in this world. But, the reality is much worse, once you turn on CNN. Think from a different perspective. Take the red pill.
Anyone here started hacking into the Cue:Cat units? They really are some neat little devices. We're (the other hackers in the dorm and I) going to the metalshop on Monday and doing a litttle desoldering. I'm considering turning the one that our library recieved (w/subscription to Wired) into a barcode scannner for borrowing books. Save the school a couple of bucks. Get the computer dept. into an outrage over messing with their shit. I love being a hacker.
The privately-funded SETI project will be far ahead of them, by then
SETI has no money! They've been reduced to using spare CPU cycles because they don't have enough cash to get a supercomputer. Not like any of that is worth it.
Identifying hackers with Jedis? Since when have hackers used their powers for good, beyond selling their knowledge to huge companies to save them from other hackers.
Luke Skywalker never sold out the Rebel Alliance to the Empire. A Jedi craves not these things..
That's probably the worst analogy I've ever seen in my life!

Not in the direct reading of the first amendment, but the idea that the government doesn't favor one group over another in cases like these, unless in a trial, but that's covered in the fifth.
Well, if you want to get anal retentive about it...
What term would be used to describe to overturning of a patent by a government agency after it was patented, at the request of a special interest group? I'm no Constitution expert, but I think this would violate the 1st amendment, which reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
media.org's concept is absurd! How do you expect any government comittee to be able to constitutionally repeal a patent? This whole concept, my fellow open-sourcers, is known as "censorship." The whole original concept of the patent was to protect intelectual property. Now, I know the Open Source movement, like a bunch of stupid hippies, thinks that all ideas should be free, but that isn't quite constitutional.
Even now, the sludge-brains at the record companies are offering music on the internet for - surprise - the same price you'd pay for the CD at Wal-Mart...
Actually, the Feds just got the RIAA on that one. Price fixing. It was proven (I think, not sure; anyone else have an data on this?) that the consumers were gypped about sixteen billion dollars (once again, I'm not sure on the exact amount, but it's in that range).

I never trust New Scientist very much. They'll report anything. Have you noticed how many things featured in there are nominated for Ig Nobels?
First off, bad grammar. Second off, there are many.

This was actually the reason behind prohibition, another period in which the law was dumb.
