  6. Re:we need a lawyer on GPL 3.0 Concerns in Embedded World · · Score: 1

    this is what always amuses me. My school always says "We have lawyers." That means absolutely jack shit. Assuming they have a competent lawyer, I doubt they paid for hours upon hours of legal research for each time they 'consult' them. And even if they did, all that matters is a judge or jury's interpretation and/or prior caselaw. Anything else is speculation.

    ummm..they wouldnt need to return a damn thing. Learn what fucking copyright means. It means the right to COPY. IT doesnt have much to do with any original document.

    Ya, thought so. Why does every nobody feel the need to trash slashdot everday. get a fucking life. If its so bad why the hell are you posting? Much less reading this garbage! It just shows how sad you really are. "This place sucks." The next day, youre there again "This place sucks." If it sucks so bad, leave. Not that hard of a choice.

  13. Re:Smoking gun... on Documents Reveal Rambus' Patent-Enforcement Plans · · Score: 1

    exactly...as people they can still be liable. Suing them != suing the company. When someone sues a company, the people are liable to what they own because what they own is the company. But suing/charging the people has nothing to do with the company itself. They are liable as PEOPLE not as owners of the COMPANY. Incorporation creates a seperate entity. An executive usually owns stock(making its value part of the company) and is still a person able to be held personally liable for HIS actions. The tough part, well not-so-tough with these memos, is proving the individual had all knowledge of the crime committed.

  15. Re:But in theory... on Is Computer Sex Adultery? · · Score: 1

    those that do not have those discussions are at their own mercy. Not mine, yours or society. Will they face ridicule or judgment? Of course. If they let it rule their decisions, they are weak...and it matters little whether or not adultery was actually committed, since others are defining it for them. We could then be the ones to dictate how the relationship goes. I suggest that those so-called 'real' people are not in a 'real' relationship, so it doesn't matter much. Maybe this discussions needs to be restructured off the people, and more onto the game that has to be played in order for it to be right in societies views.

  16. Re:According to the Bible (for what it's worth) on Is Computer Sex Adultery? · · Score: 2

    the definition of adultery is to be discussed and determined by those that are in the relationship. Thats the way real people work.

  18. Re:The Schools are being like overprotective paren on When Students Become Informers · · Score: 1

    and also, besides that. Tipsters need a layer of accountability, otherwise people would lie about others they didnt like. Forcing them to be responsible for what they say can help limit the lies.

  19. Re:The Schools are being like overprotective paren on When Students Become Informers · · Score: 2

    you cant have it anonymous, that opens up even more room for suits and overturning. A person has the right to confront their accuser, and even if the school/police use the tip as a starting point for an investigation...many judges will throw it out if the starting point is tainted. THROW OUT EVERYTHING. Thats why anonymous tips, dont really work.

  20. Re:security through obscurity? on Vixie And Others On Members-Only BIND Info · · Score: 1

    Open source security doesnt claim to prevent bugs or holes, it claims to get them fixed faster. Just like whitehat hackers. Lets see: Privateonly list reveals bug in bind. people on the list fix servers they own, maintain. Prepare for a fix in the next release.
    The millions of sites not on the list still have the hole, dont ever upgrade bind because there is no bug known...and stay that way for a while...meanwhile they are experiencing unexplained bugs and attacks.

    OR:
    Hole is found and documented, everyone can access this info, sysadmins fix their servers in fear, some sites go down because the admins arent doing their job.

  21. Re:Where will it stop? on The Unblinking Eye · · Score: 1

    Umm...they are giving the pictures to police. Guess what....a citizen, doing this thing is consider acting under police control...IE: they are doing it *FOR* the police. So, there are the standard rules regarding what police can and cannot do when it comes to how they gather this information and etc. Those rules dont apply to standard people, but when they work in conjuction with authorities they cease to be standard. This is the problem. THIS is like highschools searching lockers with police dogs. High school staff are allowed to search any locker without probable cause. Police are not. Bringing in drug dogs==police, as shooting one is copkilling. Therefore Schoolwide drugdog search==conducted by police == need probable cause== everythings thrown out.

    Are you an idiot? If Im pro-choice..dont assume I hold your own morals. Im not going to tell you when to shit...dont tell a woman when to discard an organism growing in her body.

  25. Re:Generally sillyness... on ACLU Takes on ICANN · · Score: 1

    yes...they are fucking up..they are supposed to be serving the peoples purpose and not theirs...but still...ANARCHY? Jesus. How hard a concept is this. There are physical things involved in this. It isnt magic. It isn't as simple as allowing anyone to make up a tld or a domain. It costs money, physically. Someone has to run those servers, someone has to be responsible enough and liable enough for them. That said, nothing is stopping ANYBODY from starting their own root servers, nothing is stopping anybody from subdomaining...in fact, lotsa hosting companies do it. Its very common. And I highly doubt you use ips now do you? You use urls every day, all the time you are online. Dont act like you are magically above it. Thats why its serious. Its a huge part of the net, a basic part of its functionality. And it isnt going away. As much as its 'just a label' for a bunch of numbers is bullshit. And those numbers are just a label for a route for packets. Maybe we should start routing packets by hand? Ya! Fuck ips! I wanna send it from device to device! URLS are EASY and simple to comprehend. Same reason there is 1800COLLECT. Yes, the registration system is fucked. The concept behind urls and domain names is not however, and it will not suddenly change.
