  1. Nope. on New Front In The Copyright-War: Abandon-Ware · · Score: 1
    "Very similar to Metallica "protecting their interests"... "

    Uh, no. Metallica's works are still bought and sold through retail channels. Abandonware is not. BIG difference.

  2. Re:More misuse of words on New Front In The Copyright-War: Abandon-Ware · · Score: 1
    Since the late 70s, "hacker" has been used to describe someone who uses computers for illegal purposes. It's a perfectly acceptible descriptor.

  3. Re:Hello? We've moved on since then... on New Front In The Copyright-War: Abandon-Ware · · Score: 1
    Someone moderate this to troll, please.

    I'm a gamer - I love the old arcade/2600/Commodore 64 classics, but that's not *all* I play. But I do enjoy the older games from time to time - it reminds me of my childhood, and believe it or not, some of those old games are still fun (gasp! SHOCK!)

    Should be get rid of all literature that's not on the NYTimes best seller list? Or burn all film that's over 20 years old? Hell no.

  6. Re:Ironic... on Web Design Luminary Jeff Zeldman · · Score: 1
    Yes, WPTS is overrated. But the commentary on mystery meat nav is dead on. And as far as Zeldman's concerned, I've been developing websites professionally for 4.5 years now. Strangely, I've *never heard of the guy*. He can't be all that.

  7. Re:When will microsoft users learn? on New, More Destructive Love Bug Variant · · Score: 4
    Uh, I run a MS Exchange server for over 100 users. I simply filter out anything with a vbs attatchment. Didn't have a problem two weeks ago, don't have a problem today.

    It has NOTHING to do with the OS used, and everything to do with the administrator.

  8. Ironic... on Web Design Luminary Jeff Zeldman · · Score: 2
    that this supposed web guru has a big faux pas on his main page - namely "mystery meat navigation" at the top of the page.

    "Seeing how this country is supposed to be free though, i see it perfectly ok if you want to corrupt your mind that way. "

    I could care less if some sicko gets off on kiddie pics. What DOES piss me off is the fact that these kids depicted have to deal with the abuse that was forced upon them. THAT is the issue.
