. . . my High-End iPod Speaker System is a 20 something year old Pioneer SX 1050 in my living room, and an equally 20 something year old Pioneer SX 5580 (the Black version of the SX 1050) in my bedroom. Makes the cat spin in circles and the dog howl . . . do that with one of THOSE three . . .
. . . however, it was MORE interesting two days ago, when I submitted it. I've been reading Slasdot since 96? 97? Talk about going down hill. Old news for Nerds. Hey Taco, fuck you, your editors suck, no matter how much you try to spin it. Bye
"They get modded down because they can't post without a level-head. They resort to swearing like a troll. Simple as that. If they would present their case against new.net more professionally then I doubt they would be modden down so ferociously."
Honestly, I could care less about the Karma. Present the case more professionally? I've spent probably close to a week in man-hours the last month or so getting rid of their shit on company computers. I have NO desire to spend even MORE time "professionally" presenting a case. There's the saying: "behind every sleazy lawyer is a sleazy client". The corollary is: Behind every sleazy company there are sleazy employees. That goes for SCO, that goes for NEW.NET, and that goes with sleazy AC's with a know-it-all, holier than thou attitude.
I must concur with the AC post eariler, even repeat it word for word to make the point, Karma be damned.
New.Net must die. Their "special DNS software" has sneaked into and completely screwed up thousands of windows systems. Having this crapware sneak onto your system is one thing, but having it corrupt your TCP/IP stack so you can't fix the problem -- manually, or with AdAware or SpyBot Search&Destroy -- is quite another.
I would have pointed you to this link [cexx.org] at cexx.org for info on how scummy new.net is, but if you visit it you'll see that new.net's scumball lawyers forced them to take it down! Instead, see this link for new.net info & removal instructions [spyany.com].

Plueeezzeeeeeeee. The USSR would have hoisted us (US) by our collective nutsack if we had claimed to have done it and then faked it. I'm sure they spend kizzillions trying to find out if we had or not. I'm sure if there was even a shred of doubt, they would have been screaming. I'm not the brightest lamp on the Christmas tree, but gezzz, some of you folks seem to wake up in a new world every day.
Whitley Striber writes some great stuff (WarDay for example is one of the best books I've ever read). He also wrote "Breakthrough", which is described as:
With the same curiosity, awe, and undeniable credibility, the author of the million-copy bestsellers Communion and Transformation again crosses barriers into the unknown and recounts his experiences with extraterrestrials, providing very compelling proof of their presence here on Earth.
Ya, this is THE person we need to listen to about Global Warming all right . . .
. . . Timothy, quit taking lessons from the "Jon Katz" school of journalism. It cheapens you. And for the life of me I can't understand the logic behind "buying an X-box so that Microsoft loses money". Hey, Einsteins, what happens to Microsoft if you buy NO X-boxes? Just a little common sense goes a long way, folks. It's a cool hack. It's not going to affect jack otherwise.

Oh, wait...I AM one of the Rubiks' Cube Overlords!
I still have 37 different kids of Cubes sitting on my shelves. It's been a great part of my life.

Some one should mass mail Valenti with copies of his 1982 speech, along with some fresh batteries for his clue meter . . .
Mine WERE checked. Go figure.
