But they can't have it both ways -- either pressing the shift key doesn't do a damn thing, in which case the student "falsely damaged" their reputation but did not violate the DMCA, or pressing the shift key breaks their 'copy protection' scheme, in which case he may have violated the DMCA but he did not damage their reputation, their lame product did. But not both.
I hope he countersues them for millions and wins. They have essentially claimed he is an idiot and that his paper is wrong. Well if his paper is wrong then it should be simple to find out by trying to repeat his experiment. I am reasonably certain of the outcome of that. This is a frivolous lawsuit by an idiotic company. They were proven scientifically to be idiots by a scientist and then further exacerbate their idiocy by suing instead of trying to fix their bullshit technology. Idiots!

Yes but you forget.. when they make it to earth it will be an irradiated cinder, and since shortsighted politicians did not see any value in the space program beyond military ventures nothing will be left of our civilization but th espace trash and little vignettes like this one.

And before anyone makes some noise about "their execs are dumping their stock holdings now", remember that the one exec who has been selling his stock had filed a plan with the SEC back in January to do so.
Yes, but by their own admission, the current SCO executives had planned this from the first day they came on board. They knew in advance they would be suing IBM, and why. Far in advance of the plans filed with the SEC.
Why hasn't anyone thought of just paying the money to obtain SCO licenses, then, in about five years when the case is finally brought to trial and the truth comes out about SCO, everybody who has payed for licenses can sue for tripple damages? Lawsuits work both ways, you know.
Why not? Because you'll never see a cent of that money. SCO will be a carcass by then, with IBM gnawing at the bones. There will not be enough left over for you to get your money back.
Why on earth would you use 3 different filesystems? Hoping to maximize your failure rate?
I like JFS. In the past it didn't get along with NFS very well, but that seems to be fixed for over a year now. But your far better off picking a single FS and sticking with it, except possibly/boot, than doing a different filesystem each partition.
The only people who seem to need to use an unreliable filesystem for/boot are people who insist on using broken boot loaders. Look, in some distros/boot has the kernel in it, and in all of them, it is pretty dan important. Why mess with an unreliable filesystem for any of it?
I use Reiserfs for everything, and like it very much. The performance is decent, but most importantly it has been very reliable through many power outages, which is more than I can say for ext2 and UFS.
Admittedly a Sci-fi series is probably in a reasonably bad way when the sexiness of it's actors has any particular impact on how much you enjoy it...
Too right. Look what 7 of 9 did for Star Trek! They gave Jeri Ryan such tight costumes she actually passed out from lack of circulation, but people watched the hell out of the shows she was in without caring what the plot was anymore.
Then again, this led to a decline in decent plots for Star Trek, as well.
What I'd like would be a two-mouse setup. Now that would really be something else.
Copying files in Windows is actually quite a chore compared to how easy it is to do in Unix. Not only that, but when something goes inexplicably wrong it is harder to figure out where they went wrong and start from where you left off than it is to start all over again in Windows.
Part of this is the crappy i/o in Windows, part of this is the GUI interface, but my absolute nemesis is the bastard who thought it was a good idea for GUIs to destroy an entire folder if you copy one folder full of files to a location where there is another folder full of files that has the same name, rather than just copying the damn files like normal os's do.
This used to be a problem with the Mac OS but at least in Mac OS X there is a decent command line that can fix this problem. The same canot be said for Windows, unfortunately. Windows and the old Mac OS were, I think, deliberately crippled in the copying department because to the old Apple and to Microsoft, copying == piracy. By contrast in UNIX bit-for-bit copying is trivial and there are a lot of tools to choose from depending on the level of copying you need. This is because to UNIX Vendors and to Linux hackers computer == something that holds my damn data.
I understand you're probably being humerous, but this is for those who don't know:
If you lose an app, look for it with "ps ax"... It won't tell you what desktop it's on, but it will give you a PID you can kill.
If you find an app just to kill it, what is the damn point? Besides, most Linux apps do not give you a chance to save your work if you kill them (though they easily could).
Now, in fvwm there is a right-click menu which shows every open window and allows you to choose one which immediately switches to the virtual desktop that app is on and gives it focus. Also the FvwmPager will show you what apps are on what desktop and to a certain extent even what is going on with those apps in a little radar screen. (For instance, If I start downloading something with Mozilla and switch to another virtual desktop to do some work the FvwmPager shows a little window on the representation of the desktop Mozilla is "on" with the realtime download progress percentage; it's pretty cool!)
Now it's been awhile since I used KDE but I thought they must have something like that. (Though it would not be surprising to me that Fvwm is more fully featured than KDE since it is certainly more fully featured than windows despite being so streamlined..)
When Mr. Bill started the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, he promised and swore it was to research medicine for diseases in Third World countries that were unprofitable for pharmaceutical companies to research. I thought it was awesome that someone was finally tackling this problem. I thought this was the Bill Gates many people admired, now the greatest philanthropist in history, etc, etc.
Now we find out the point of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is to push programs like this that expand his empire and make him richer? Not that there is anything wrong with Bill making money or anything, but this is seriously fucked. To me it represents a grave disservice and at least proves that once again he is up to no good as usual, saying one thing and doing another.
Now some wiseacre is probably going to pipe up and say "Well it's *his* money you dirty hippy he can do what he wants with it!" and I agree. But that does not mean it was not dishonest to get all this press about one altruistic purpose for the Foundation when it is really a completely selfish purpose he has in mind. To me that is the meat of this story and it is no wonder it is underreported. At least slashdot got a blurb in on it.
It does the same thing as the candle truck module and the intelligent slashdot moderator module (neither of which exist at present.)
Damn and here I had bought a candle truck full of speaker bracelets after googling for a manufacturer. I was thinking "Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these!" I guess I should have asked, "Does it run Linux?"
I guess I will be stuck running NetBSD on them and sshing over WiFi to my wristwatch!:)
In my limited experience, that's not entirely true. I had to fight like crazy with a patent examiner over a patent I obtained.
He did nontrivial outside research in the field, much of it directed by the reference materials I included in the patent. At one point he stated that a particular claim was "obvious" after you've read five different sources in different domains which he only knew about because we referenced all five in the application. None of them were patented.
From the Slashdot "IP is bad" standpoint you'd have to give him credit for the effort. He worked very hard to ensure that my patent was in fact non-obvious and not prior art. You really want a patent examiner that hard.
Except I don't. If patents are being given out like candy, why should I have to fight for mine?
Because you are an individual inventor and not a Big Nasty Multinational Corporation with a Bond Villain for a CEO, that is why!
IP law was created to help inventors. But now it is all twisted around so that the people who do not create new things are rewarded and the real inventors are punished, much as the real content creators are not rewarded but the people who steal their work are. It is about Money and Power and Lawyers now. Had you been able to afford a herd of Lawyers, YOU would not have had to fight for your patent. That is THEIR job.
Of course this means that if an individual dares to invent something and cannot afford a Pack of Ravenous Evil WereLawyers they must do ten times the work the Ravenous Evil WereLawyers do without the benefit of being themselves a Ravenous Evil WereLawyer. This is in partbecause a Ravenous Evil WereLawyer can Look Menacing and get away with a lot, but the individual must work very hard to get noticed.
You bet your ass when a patent comes from Microsoft the PTO pays some pretty good notice and hurries that one through, but if it is Joe Nobody, who cares if they shove him aside?
ICQ had something similar, though not exactly. In multi-user chat, you could see what everyone was typing as they typed it. I hated that feature.
Actually some very ancient chat software did this as well. You saw what people typed as they typed it. I remember some modem software like that, but I know there were older solutions as well...
Thus my use of the word "some." What's your take on the phallis temples in some parts of Asia?
Phallic symbology has been used in many older religions in temples, likewise there are apparently many temples in asia which depict gratuitous sex. I have seen idols which were anatomically correct depictions of gods and goddesses in coitus. I had thought this was an asian thing, but I am now reading about phallic symbology in temples in Homeric greece and other parts of Classical Europe, which is an interesting study.
Another point is that the earliest known idols (circa 30,000BC) are goddess figurines which emphasize the vagina, breasts and buttocks (and are often faceless). These figurines are fairly ubiquitous which suggests they hie from a very old tradition which celebrated the mother.
Many religions focus on sex as a means of creation and do not seem to have this attitude that it is a wrongful act of pleasure. However, it seems to me that the idea of marriage, fidelity, and sexual responsibility in general is fairly old and ubiquitous which leads to attitudes akin to what we are accustomed to in the West. It is interesting to me that most religions at least say something about sex and many have very strong opinions about it.
At any rate, comparative religion and history are subjects I attempt to study, but I have to say I am not nearly so educated on these subjects as I should like. My little rant about western literature on this subject was mainly driven by the dead ends I have run into seeking information. Likewise the "neopagans" have done more to obscure and bury the Celtic and early european cultures than all the Romans and Christians put together.
By the way if you have any suggestions for "light reading" on this subject feel free to drop some titles...:)
"Can you provide examples of the pacifist religions where they have gratuitous sex?"
Taoism isn't really a religion, but some of the people that follow its philosophy do enjoy themselves.
Taoism is clearly in a category all its own. It does lend itself to a pacifist philosophy, though its adherents historically had to resort to violence. It does not overtly advocate sex of any kind, gratuitous or otherwise.
I have encountered books which come from a very Western lens which attribute certain sexual practices to taoism akin to what westerners tend to attribute to Tantra. Essentially I have never found evidence that these practices are directly attributable to Taoism itself as a philosophy or a movement, though it is clear there have been several Asian traditions of enhanced sexual practices historically.
Likewise Tantra, which aparently did include sexual rituals as part of religious practice, is far more complicated than just the sex. BUt the sex part is what Westerners are concerned about, and damn the philosophy/religion associated with it, so books in the West on these subjects are terrible (unless, again, you wanted to learn about sexual techniques). I suppose California Tantra, or California Taoism, as such practices might be called, may fit the bill, but whereas they do not overtly advocate violence (which is progress, granted) it is a far cry from ahimsa.
I chose my criteria very carefully. I haven't found a religion which overtly advocates sex and overtly advocates peace. There are examples of one or the other, but with the exception of a random cult I don't think there are any that do both.
Would have a lot of problems finding truly pacifist religions, since they have an amazing ability to get completely wiped out fairly quickly nowadays.:( But religions that preach gratuituous sex are very common, historically, and many of them aren't actually all that violent compared to stuff like Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.
Yes but the Celts and other Northern Europeans were far from pacifistic. Granted most of our data comes from hostile traditions (Roman writers) but the archaeological data seems likewise to suggest some pretty warlike people.

I'm not a fan of the subscription type of licence, but as I said, it is not that much money...
But this is not a subscription type license. If it was a subscription then after 1 year if you did not pay more money you would have to uninstall and destroy all copies of the product. This is not the case with the Mad Hatter. You can keep running it, but if you want support you have to pay. (Someone has to pay the phone bills and wages after all...)
Corporations don't require employees to be numbered. Must be a urban legend.
To be fair, I got it from the movie "The Pirates of Silicon Valley." BUt I did think it was a funny story, and making Darl #0 does have so many apt connotations....
There was a video game about fucking, but unfortunatly it was white people fucking indians. I think it was an old Atari game.
Custer's revenge. It was one of many very politically incorrect Atari 2600 games. There are a lot of porno games, actually; most are not very good it seems, as porno or as games. It really is an underdeveloped field because most people's idea of porno seems to be "oooh we showed some naked people!" and there is no plot or even an attempt to make the prono interesting.
Because of course "religion" (whichever one you are referring to) teaches both that graphic violence is great and that graphic sex is bad. That's the logical connection you were going for, right?
Probably. We could start with Islam and Christianity as examples. Can you provide examples of the pacifist religions where they have gratuitous sex? Because that might be worth studying...;)
