    Yes but so is clearing your cache to try to fix a obvious hack. I have never attended any convention thinking that I would just be a fifth wheel. Having seen this though I am inclined to believe I would be far from the worse. I am curious if this would work if you had your browser pointed to a proxy such as squid? Also couldn't you look at a packet dump of this to find the mac address the anus in question is coming from?

  7. Re:but it could have been 2 billion on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 1

    Yes as an american I am aware of how capitalism works. But with almost all media being represented by groups with profit as their only motivation. They are not motivated by giving us a good price or quality for what we buy. I'm sure somebody will say that is fair but I think movie and record companies who fund groups like the MPAA and RIAA should be considerd a monopoly and subject to current antitrust laws. But as we can see from the microsoft case this is unlikely.

  8. but it could have been 2 billion on Besieged Movie Industry Suffers Record Takings · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hey there will never be enough profit for most people. As the profits go up the need for higher profits will push them to make more and more claims against their customers. I haven't been to see a movie at a movie theater in 10 years. I wait for it to come out in the retail market and pay more than If I had just bought a ticket. I have it to watch anytime I like Which is usually once or twice. I have looked at camcorder rips of recent movies and all I can say is that I will wait until its out as a DVD. After all its new to me when it does I just run a few months behind everybody else.

    hell a pentium 120 or 486 can act as a dialup router with no problem. I use mine as trot line wieghts but if you have one laying around it will install a thin version of slackware. Install webmin use it to setup your firewall and you dialup. It works fine I have done it for buisness's to run their whole office off of a dialup. Slow but it works.

    yes I am cynical and my proof is rather subjective.
    But that doesn't mean its not true. As for my phone bill mine is 25 bucks cheaper now than it was one year ago Thanks to DSL. I am making the same amount of money as I was 2 years ago and can buy less with it now than I could then. Am I complaining? .... You bet your ass I am.

  14. they don't care on Ethanol From Waste Straw · · Score: 1

    Big oil companies are just scared bio fuels will catch on without them in charge of it. They will tinker around with it and then dump it later. They did the same thing in the 70's. They will ramp up the price to a new high and when they lower it back down it will never quite reach its old low. This is how they raise the price. First they raise it way up and then suddenly the price will drop. Most
    consumers will never notice they will just be glad its not 2 dollers plus a gallon.

    Remember tierdrop and winuke. I remember two days a few years ago when microsofts whole network was down. they finally had to use cisco routers that rejected everything except port 80 to get their website back up. It took them weeks to come up with a good patch that would stop it. It only took a few hours to get a tierdrop fix for linux.

  24. Its What you are used to on Toy Penguins and Male Egos Drove Linux Acceptance · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The problem with migration from windows to linux is really a question of what you are used to. People gripped a lot when microsoft made its migration from windows 3.11 to windows 95. They could not find their programs, screensaveers, etc.etc. The gnome or kde desktops with koffice work just fine. They may not contain all the bells and whistles of microsoft products but they are fully functional. They may have trouble with printers or external devices but I have to show one lady how to print to a different printer on her machine on a weekly basis. Users will get used to anything. After all they got used to haveing to restart twice a day. Personally for me a move to linux would reduce the number of virus ladden emails I can't convince them not to open. It would also reduce the spyware I have to clean off weekly.
