When the fellow is being stoned for saying Jahova(sp)? Then the one running the stoneing says jahove(sp) and is himself stoned. Stop and think for a minute and you'll see the connection.
Peta uses fear to attain their goals. They attack people who have done them no personal harm with. Thay have rammed fishing ships at sea to try to stop them. They may not kill, but terrorism is still terrorism.
Uhh....the problem here is that all of us who want to protest have JOBS. The tree-huggin hippies have rich liberal celeberities to provide them with plenty of cash. Terrorist groups like PETA that hide behind false morality should be treated like what they are.
Blah blah blah, nobody who is worth a damn in this world gives a flying fuck. All meaningless crap that means nothing to the "consumer", hell, it's free fucking software so all of you quit your bitching on how so and so gives whatever away in such and such a way........blah blah blah
There, i think that just about covers it.
Windows unified the computing industry. Apple tried to monopolize. Guess who won.
And what are we going to fight this revolution with? The pansy-ass liberals have for YEARS been stealing the rights of Americans to posses fire-arms. Remember your roots Americans, the constitution allows us to have arms such that we may rise up against a tyrannous government, not so that we can go hunting or for sport.
Remember there turkey lips that there ARE international laws that prohibit that. Piracy, murder..., are against international law. Despite the Simpsons' great teachings, international waters are not completely lawless.
I remember seeing a report MANY years ago on 60 minutes. It was a really powerfull story. I think the town was called *sound it out, my Russian spelling is horrible* "Sink-a-pal-a-tane" A good portion of the tests were to see the effects of radiation on people. I remember one case where they actually changed the direction of flow of a river with a nuke. Then they had russian soldiers build a dam on the river to see how the radiation effected them.
Another part to the story dealt with a *museaum of horrors* kinda place with mutated children that were preserved. Most were still-born. I still have the immage in my head of a infant who possesed no legs but had what appeared to be a fish tail. And one of the children walking around the village possesed no eyes and was very baddly deformed. Radiation can do some horrible things.
Oh GOSH. Now they have the fake name/address/e-mail I always put on stupid registrations. So let Bob Gobman at 1 Happy St. get all the junk mail destined for me. And let the unfortuneate fellow whos e-mail is bob@bob.bob get all the spam destined for me.
Is it just me or do people find reasons to get all up and arms for nothing. For all of you how will respond that this is a big deal, remember your name/address AND phone number are all available in your local phone book. And if you are THAT paranoid about common public information, the DON'T POST YOUR REAL DATA!!!

Well you lazy fuck why don't YOU work on a video editor??? And if you don't have the knolege, the ***gasp, this is the hardest thing for you open source communists to swallow* BUY a video editor. And if you hate that the only decent editor you can is on a Windows or Mac machine, the TOO FUCKING BAD.
Guess what folks, you aren't getting paid to conduct personal bussiness durring your employer's time. While "on the clock" and using company resources, the ones who you work for "own" what you do. If you choose to do personal things (web surfing, stock checking or whatnot) on break time (with your employers consent for the use of their equipment of coarse), then you should be free to do what you will without the company monitoring you. Also, if your higher-ups get word that you are doing illeagal activities while at work with their resources, then they should have a limited right to watch you. And if while watching you, they observe activities that they don't like but are perfectly leagal, the TS for them. Barring the use of equipment for this reason at this point would be just plain wrong.
How about if i came to your place of employment and copied every bit of work you did. For doing such, i was paid a salary similiar to yours. I "latch" on to you, one can not be fired without the other. But after a while, the boss stops seeing the purpose of paying so much for the little work that we do. He then fires you (us).
Did I "take" anything from you? Did all the work you do still make it to the boss? So i didn't "steal" from you. Are you happy with me?
Do you see the harm now? While you didn't physically "take" anything, you prevent (as in your example) Ford from making money from future SVT Cobra sales. What's the harm in that you ask? Well, pretty soon, Ford will stop designing new cars. Slashdoters must admit that this is a capitalist society, like it or not. Money talks.
I am afraid the base point is gettting all too lost. Do you deny that the aquisition of something that people expended their talents/time on without paying for is ok? There is not way around it. Napster is a vehicle for theft. That simple. End of sentence.
Some of you nerds just don't get it.........maybe just maybe some people simply don't CARE ABOUT HTML. You are the kind of person that spends their whole life tucked away from any real human contact.....you find joy in doing all sorts of "virtual" things. You have your virtual friends and whatnot. You are truly a sad person. When was the last time you enjoyed a nice warm day with a real loved one......gotten a thrill out of a dangerous kayaking trip......taken a nice fast drive on your favorite road, and tried to take your favorite curve a little faster than yesterday? I sincerely hope that you are in a tiny minority of people. If the world is ever filled with people who's idea of really "living life" involves a computer, then I wish to quickly wish to leave this crazy ride. Now I am not Unabomber style anti-technology or anything, I just think that there is a time and place for everything.

Sir, I am SURE that you have SOME kind of grasp of reality and how the world works. If much time/money/resources go into developing a new "product", then the company *gasp* just might want to make it's money back, and MORE! The idea of business is to make money. Money, can be exchanged for goods and services.

Sorry to all other readers for stating the obvious, but it seems our friend here didn't get the word.
Ok, don't mean to beat a dead horse, but WHY DO YOU NEED ALL THAT DAMN SPACE!!! Exactly how many mp3's can you listen to??? Do you NEED to have The Matrix in some insanely high res. ON your harddrive?!?!? Hell, if you love it that much go out and *gasp* BUY it!!! Then play it from the damn disc. And how many games do you need to have on your harddrive AT ONE TIME. Why not work more on improving access times for the drives, rather than size. "Yeah, but back when i had my 5 meg hard card, i didn't think i could fill that either" One does need a certain amount of space for some things, such as word processing/entertainment and whatnot. But really, let's think about this. Do you NEED or WANT for that matter a bigger word processing program??? Can't 70 gigs ON ONE DRIVE satisfy you?!?!? *and the rant begins* Hell, for the price (of Office) one would be better off going out and buying a SEPERATE word processor complete with monitor and mouse and ALL THE SAME F***ING FUNCTIONS as Office, except that LITTLE FUCKING OFFICE ASSISTANT NO YOU MOTHER F***ER, I AM NOT WRITING A F***ING LETTER JUST BECAUSE I WROTE THE F***ING WORD "DEAR" THEN HIT "ENTER" Plus, one can transform their info from a WP to a pc using utilities that come with the WP. HA! Anyhow, with the current permanent storage available (and on the horizon (i.e. DVD burners)) the need for insanely large hard discs is just dumb. It'll die one day and take lots of data with it. I think i am going to go lie down now.
This comment was simply in poor taste. The lawsuit was dumb, and easy to make fun of. But people actually died in the incident in question. To mock needless murdur like is in poor taste. You sir seem to have class with a capital A.
Like the V-Chip before it, this type of product is aimed at parents who what to "care" for their kids without actually interacting with them. Welcome to the automated babysitter for the 21st century. If kids are old enough to "surf freely", then they will look for what they want. At which point parents may need to *GASP* trust their kids. They need to trust how resourceful these youngsters are......what is keeping kids from getting porn from newsgroups? In the end, you can't stop the next generation. After all,can the V-Chip keep kids from watching "squigle-vision"? It better not, otherwise they will find a friend who has a porn movie (probally stolen from a parent).
