I don't tend to be a grammar Nazi because as long as I get the idea of the post I tend to ignore it, especially on slashdot.
This shit, however, needs to stop. What the fuck do all these 'employees' do all day? How hard is it to read the submission and realize "FOUR OF PARTS" doesn't sound right?
I would have subscribed awhile ago, and continued contributing but not with this kind of crap. Slashdot is on top the same way MS is, mindshare and sheer numbers. They don't do anything better than anyone else these days.
Ok. I disagree with valenti as much as anyone but your argument is worthless. The content of the DVD is for children but the player/disc and operation thereof isn't necessarily so. If a parent lets their small child have free reign of the discs well , tough shit. As any parent will tell you....children have a way of breaking anything.
They are trying to govern a US business. They can block yahoo from their border routers if they wish...but that'd be a pretty assinine tyrannical thing to do.
I dont much understand the use of the lights in that, as the judge makes the actual call since they tend to both hit each other (no real clean one way hits)
Screw that..I may use a lot of gas but I cause no accidents.
How is this fair?
What needs to happen is lower premiums for good drivers and larger penalties for bad drivers.
Simple.....I hate being punished monetarily for a service Ive never made a claim on, while there are fucking bitches totaling a car every year and getting a shiny new one.
Because it wont work that way. Ins companies make their money by having those who drive little....or even more so dont have accidents subsidize those that do. This will never, ever work...except to raise rates to unreasonable levels.
Honestly....You may drive half the time than I, but I have never ever been an accident while you have been in one or two. Accidents are just as much about defensive driving as they are chance and risk.
The whole comment about script kiddies is weak. Thats why we have private ip addresses and private networks. Make the home non-Internet routable and the ip concern is moot. Now....if there is some mechanism to provide outside access....then fine, but there is little reason for that.
If that does come into play, then strong security solutions will be needed but opensource has proven that security can be had. Hell, have an itermiderary than cannot directly control the other devices but can send them requests. Have the devices only accept reasonable requests. (no thermostat to 100degrees during summer)
Do I think this is ready for the comman man? Hell no. DO I think it will ever become common place? Hell no. You average person can't run a vcr or even a LCD thermo....fuck an ip device.
Fuck that. As someone who has worked in LP, they do not have the right to detain you...unless they are absolutely 100% sure and are willing to take the big risk of being wrong. You let them fuck you in the ass, son. It would have been a lot more fun the other way:)
ummm...from talking to many an IP lawyer IRL....it is always the clients who persue these things. There are very few legal specialties (ambulance chasing, to one) where you need to push yourself onto people. The rest, come on their own. Companies are paranoid and greedy when it comes to IP.
Ummm.. Do some research about player death in muds and moos. The concept isn't as easy as you think. Real time is spent on these chars, and real money. To be taken away and destroyed over a GAME. It's a game, it's not meant to be real life....its meant to be entertainment. It's not entertaining to have your time wasted for naught. That said, there is room for improvement in handling player death. Level loss, item loss and such things tend to be sufficient enough. No one wants to die. Aging can be worked in well too.. Have a bell curve for stats, etc. But in the end people just want to login, play and HAVE FUN. What you described is funny, but not fun.

If you leave your keys in, the car running and TELL them so...they won't cover it.
If you tell them, then you deserve the loss.
I have yet to see an ngage in use outside a store.
I see GBAs daily.

Lets pick up everyone off the street too, how can we know which one is the rapist?

this is what the govt does with siezed property. it is far too lax

Ummm...
His laptop was stolen. That has nothing to do with computer failure. I don't think he expected to have his laptop stolen.
that may be the result of spyware opening browser windows......

It's all a scam by textbook publishers.... understanding professors will hold off on editions as long as possible, others just succomb.
It's all bullshit...just another fleecing of college students.
vnc
Ummm
I can prove freedoms are being taken away.....
can you prove those actions which cause those freedoms to vanish also reduce terrorism?
Didn't think so.

Except most of the spam comes back to the US-thats where the market is.

Sweet...I can smell the exploits cooking...God, Microsoft---even when they innovate...do it shittly...

Interesting....Ive been using emerged RCs for weeks.
