  2. Offtopic: HTML tags on Scientologists Force Comment Off Slashdot · · Score: 2

    On your website, you mention that HTML tags should always be in uppercase. Not only is this stylistically wrong, but according to the xhtml specification, it is now technically wrong as well. In other words, HTML with uppercase tags, is no longer HTML

    I would disagree. If the action that is demanded by law is wrong, then it is the duty of a citizen to have no part of the law.

    They did do this. With Microsoft. when M$ asked them to take down the spec to their Kerberos extensions, they didn't, even though Microsoft threatened to shut them down in 48 hours if they didn't. But this is different, this is the COS. Those people will stop at nothing to get what they want, even breaking the law. It would have been a lot more then legal fees for the Andover boys.

  6. strange on Emergence of SMT · · Score: 2

    Well, maybe not by the time I get this up. Actually, win98 and ME don't support dual processors at all, so you're second one will just be sitting on the motherboard turned off.

    As far as SMT goes, I think it's a good idea (well, obviously, why wouldn't it be). You really can only get so much out of Instruction level parallelism, and I've always thought that splitting CPU time up by thread rather then by instruction parallelism would be a lot more effective.

    I mean, the click-through rate on banner advertizing is less then 1% right now, a lot less. so, if 1% of the people who view/download fonts is 1% I'd say you're doing pretty good.

  11. um, win2k? on Document-Destroying Copy Protection System · · Score: 1

    The prime reason this will fail utterly is that Windows was not designed as a multiuser system.

    That may be true for windows 95 and 98, but not for NT or 2000, it's a true multiuser system, but almost every home user uses the 'root' account.

    I still don't think it would be posible to make this totaly secure, though.

    Maybe in the UK, but not here in the US, in order to be gulty of libel, you need to know that what you are saying false. In order to be convicted, it needs to be proven that you knew it. If slashot dosn't already know wether or not these are valid, they arn't betting anything

  18. XPICS! on DoubleClick Banner Ad Patent Busted · · Score: 2

    As far as getting porn from them, well I wouldn't know. I doubt that it was really that good, though.

    On the other hand, getting money from them, well that was a different story. A few years back me and my friends wrote some http client emulators and raped that company for a lot of money, a lot. More then he got for ousting this patent, anyway. (Almost as bad as he raped his 'customers') Hey, the agreement was based on unique IPs not people, and I was a crusader against bad porn and unethical companies, um, yeh.

    sigh if only the money was as free now as it was thing,
