The Constitution also gives us the right to own property. This kid violated that right by defacing websites. Is his right to free speech more important than someone else's rights? And what about the free speech he violated by defacing those websites?
And about the right to free speech - it has limitations. You can't teach religeon in public school. You can't organize sedition. You can't threaten someone's life. If you say something about an individual and it's BS, you can be sued.
Look at history following WWII. "Loose lips sink ships" was a mantra and free speech was curbed. But the reality was German U-boats were sinking ships based on information from spies living near New York harbors. Is free speech more important than the lives lost on the Lucitania? Do spies have freedom of speech? Hell no.
So he implies (and I get the sense that you agree) that he has the right to publish files on the web regarding construction of weapons and bombs. The federal government has for years had laws restricting him from doing this. But post 9-11, they are actually cracking down. Bummer for him. Notice my crockadille tears.
There will be limitations on liberty and over time corrections to those limitations. There are liberties that I am concerned about post 9-11, but I don't think our government is "out to get us." Our leaders are faced with the enormous task of balancing our Consitutional liberties with the realities that those liberties are being used as a weapon against us during a time of war.
Shutting down a website like this is within the sphere of what I am willing to tolerate. I don't give a crap about this kid's motives, He needs a good kick in the ass. If he continues to be a professional protester, he could at least learn a sense of responsibility.
"If I go to jail, then I will go to jail not based on my actions, but based on what I think,"
Wrong. His actions include defacing websites and distributing information on how to make bombs. Either of those are crimes and punishable by law. He's not some little pacifist sitting in a corner getting picked on by The Man.
If you want to find a poster boy for "Thought Police Victim" find a better specimen.
Electrical sensitivity is not recognized by the U.S. medical establishment, and Firstenberg refused to disclose his diagnosis, which allows him to collect disability income.
For cryin' out f*ckin' loud! I'm paying tax money for this flake to sit at home on his ass and fire up?
These people better hope there's never a thunderstorm nearby. Do you know how much RF noise fills the air during even a modest storm? It'll kill 'em all. Or maybe not. Because there's NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM! They just want to live in some hippie commune.
What a great example of mass hysteria. Ultra-liberals have moved from pushing smokers around to picking new targets.
I wonder if Firstenberg owns an SUV to haul his "...bevy of devices to detect radio frequencies, including a meter that gauges electrical, magnetic and microwave fields." Probably not. I bet he rides a bike, and his next "illness" will be an allergy to gas fumes.
If Palm is actually dividing the hardware and software sides of the house, they just might be interesting in selling or licensing Be to AOL.
From AOL's perspective this might be a more desireable move, as Be's source isn't open to all, and It doesn't have a reputation as a "hacker OS".
Be has better multimedia support (important to Joe Average).
AOL doesn't need to worry about code forking with Be,which could happen on numerous Linux projects if AOL gets in our pool. There are some strongly independant types who would do everything they could to insure incompatability with Red Hat AOL. That's not an issue with Be.

A One World Government is a bad idea. There are many people in the world who don't like America (in case you haven't been paying attention) and I would prefer they not have a voice in ruling my life.
I don't care what your stripes are, liberal or conservative. If you feel like Florida was a bad way to run an election, wait until you try to have your vote in a world election (if the World decides YOU get a vote). You will have fraud on a scale never before seen. Take everything that's screewed up in the UN an magnify it by a 6 billion.
No thanks. I like the United States of America. It's not perfect, but it's better than most people give credit.
Star Trek shaceships are cool. But it's UFP is oversimplified to the point of being trite.
My Linux desktop experience dates back to RedHat 5.1, when Windowmaker and Afterstep were both part of the default install. While I always admired the NeXT (the cube is the coolest machine ever), I never had the chance to spend any time using one. I would like to know which WM is a closer approximation of Nextstep's GUI.
For maximum compatability with current software, I have been using Gnome, Enlightenment with an OpenStep Theme, and a GTK OpenStep theme. All of that bloat really eats the resources. It would be nice to run a lighter WM and only call Gnome and KDE into memory as needed.
I have a question for people using AfterStep or WM nowdays - how do you stay compatable with KDE and Gnome based software?
Many interview I've read have the thoughts and observations of the writer interpreting the interview subject. But in those interviews, when the actor wants to convey a key point, a direct quote is used. Not here. I can't tell what Bruce said from what Chrisd wrote. I don't know if anything here is verbatim. That sucks, because I was looking forward to this interview. Hell, Bruce's agent could've answered this stuff.
And it would have been nice if you didn't ask a bunch of stuff that's already on Bruce's website. Hell, anyone who went to bruce-campbell.com already knew why there's not going to be an Evil Dead 4. I felt like I've read all of this stuff before. Next time, maybe the interviewER could do some homework.
My wife gave me a Philips Expanium recently. I'd say the pros outweigh the cons. The sound is good, I don't get too much skipping, and when I insert a disc, the scan process will look for mp3s on any disc. I have old archive discs where I have zip files and misc. data mixed with my mp3s, and I have no problems listening to these discs.
My biggest gripe is the display sucks. I would like to have a scrolling text message, but instead the display gives you a number for the directory (album) and file (song).
It's a bit bulkier than the nifty little solid state devices, but I have 301 They Might Be Giants songs on the disc in my player right now. The mini players with large memory cost more, while the Expanium sells for for only 90 US dollars.
I picked up a 20 hour rechargable lead battery at Radio Shack (part number 23-505) and replaced the headphones with a Kenwood KPM-510 headset. I usually keep the thing in a bookbag anyway, so the bulk doesn't bother me.
Seeing that you've never scored over a 2 on any post you've ever submitted, I find it ironic you're telling me how to post.
I want to know what happened to a gaming site. The subject is related to gaming. Nobody else has asked about happypenguin.org. Slashdot hasn't had shit to say about Linux Game Tome and it's been down for weeks now.
I've read some of the Un-American shit you've written, SubtleNuance. So, I'll use a little karma here and tell you to go fuck yourself. Troll.
At the risk of being off-topic (putting on flame retardant suit) The Linux Game Tome (happypenguin.org) has been down for a few weeks, and I haven't seen any mention of why.
Does anybody know what the story is? They leave a big vacuum if they are gone. I think it's worth a mention somewhere.

If my Mother-in-law were staying over, I might pipe "Pearl Necklace" into her room at two or three in the morning. Or maybe a German scat video. Or a video feed from the next room. Oh, the posibilities....
Back when UPS filed for IPO, they were hit with a class action suit claiming UPS was involved in insurance fraud and antitrust activities.
The Farina action alleges that UPS entered into a "sham arrangement" with National Fire Insurance Company "to enable UPS to charge shippers unconscionable prices for excess value insurance, which was nearly three times the competitive market rate." The plaintiff further alleges that UPS "leveraged its power in the package transportation market to foreclose competition or unfairly obtain a competitive advantage in the package insurance market by steering shippers to purchase excess value insurance from UPS at supracompetitive prices," while other insurers offer similar coverage for "a fraction of the cost." UPS officials have indicated they intend to defend the action vigorously, have characterized it as "groundless," and have stated that customers have the right to insure their packages with any insurance company.
Sorry about your computer. If it helps, I'll stay away from shipping my stuff UPS.
Evil Dead II is a loose remake of Evil Dead, so that leads me to ask what do you think of Hollywood's stream of Special Editions and remakes. In the past few years we've seen classic films and TV shows re-cut with new SFX and the insertion of new scenes. At what point is a film "untouchable"? Do you have films that you wish you could re-edit more to your liking? What movie has been altered that bothers you most?
You've been an actor, director, and producer. Pick whatever hat you want to answer.

X.
Although the name is really XFree86 the common name is X-Windows. How many OSs now run X-Windows? How many platforms?
Can you say damn near all of 'em boys and girls? I knew that you could.
MS has failed to vigorously defend the name Windows. I think the case could be made they've lost rights to that trademark.
If thesame survey was conducted with Slashdot's audience, we'd have Linux on 98% on all desktops.

Good Point. I'll bundle it with an original '95.
Off to Ebay I go!
For Sale - One copy of Windows 98 - complete orginal with box, disk, documentation.
If the Cable Companies want to charge for each computer, they should at least be consistant.
If have 2 televisions, but they charge me for one, does that make me a dirty thief?
What about my VCR? It has a TV reciever, so that's another conection they should charge seperately.
If I run sound out to my sterio, that's another connection. I have Dolby 5.1. Better charge extra for each speaker.
Sometime people watch TV with me. Better shake them down.

This isn't really off-topic. The subject is gaming video cards. When a source for those games disappears, the question is worth asking.

Owch.
The RIAA is starting to resemble that other paragon of virtue - The Business Software Alliance.
Of course, the BSA thinks they have the authority to search private property looking for license violations.
I could never see the RIAA or the MPAA doing that.
It turned 30 and it's crystal turned red.
Time for Carousel.
You can't page count an FTP connection. Hmmm... I guess ISPs will have to outlaw Peer to Peer.
And IRC doesn't have a page count.
When I download files, how does that work?
If I view a portal page and it has a buttload of images, and then go to a site with one image, is it fair to charge the same for both page views?
How do you charge for streaming content?
This idea is BS. I'll keep my flat rate.
With all due respect, why was this parent comment moderated down?
