You should vote for Nader because he wants to destroy the american way of life before its too late!
I felt Nader was a serious candidate until he chose his VP. Winona Laduke is a great activist, and has fought hard for indigenous peoples in Minnesota and elsewhere, but she has absolutely no business being the 2nd in line for the top spot (especially with a guy like Nader in the top position who i would think would have a great propensity to attract bullets)
So that being said, he has some good points -- the biggest point being killing big money influence in government through campaign finance reform. Everything starts there. that is the first step toward making corporations responsible. He also has some good points on ending our reliance on foreign oil by encouraging alternate energy sources and sustainable living practices... (im a really big fan of this)
I'm not sure about his ideas on trade. There is a balance there somewhere, and i think he's a bit off. We can't "quit" nafta and the wto without screwing ourselves. No trade deficit but hey, no trade either... there's a balance there somewhere...
What about healthcare for every american? yeah. that'll work. sure everyone wants it, but as long as we are paying $30 for a tylenol @ the hospital and as long as pharmaceutical companies continue to rape us for their new wonder cures, err.. I mean recoup research costs... and as our hmos and insurance plans continue to decide what is worth paying for, all the while we continue to ignore the way-out-there concept of "PREVENTION" (oooooh scary... don't get sick in the first place by exercising and eating right? That's such a stupid idea... that will never work) what was my point??? I forgot... hmmm...
Yeah Nader's got some good points. He's awesome and inspiring. He gives a damn and has real opinions, not a horde of handlers and pollsters who tell him what to think.
Voting for Nader is a first step. (the least of the 3 evils easily) Sure he'll never win. You have nothing to worry about... It's a win-win situation. The more votes he gets, the more attention the real issues will get. Plus, the green party gets a nice chunk of $ next time around. Then you can vote for Hagelin in 4 years.
Actually the n*zis weren't mentioned. you lose because by mentioning godwin's law you invoke a new law which i now name after myself (bobby shandleson) which states "In any thread with less than 20 responses, a person who invokes godwin's law is a person with too much time on their hands."
I just downloaded this little program and it fsckin' rocks! You can easily log all your telemarketing calls, and cite the specific laws from the federal regulations. Highly recommended!
Can you give us any clue as to if there is any functionality in Carnivore to specifically sniff, filter and analyze encrypted IP traffic?
Is it conceivable after your team's analysis that future of current versions Carnivore would allow the FBI to flag certain encrypted traffic as "suspicous" ???
radiohead.. hmmm
i think i remember one of their songs... it was about slashdot or something
im a geek...
im a whiner...
what the hell am i doing here?
i dont belong here
so why am i wasting my time compulsively reading these comments?
oh yeah, and back on topic.... fuck osx with a pointy stick. what the fuck is up with charging 30 bucks for a beta AND including a bunch of large-ass movie trailers w/ the mandantory quicktime install?
Bucky Fuller demonstrated that we could build domes over our largest cities right now and it would demonstrate massive energy savings over our current method of climate control. A gigantic dome exposes only a fraction of surface area of all our collective little box-shaped homes when you add them all together.
"This four-meter color image features downtown San Francisco and the landmark Transamerica Building. Space Imaging's Ikonos satellite collected the image October 21, 1999."
They should be careful with that image of Sanfrancisco. Trans America doesn't like people taking unauthorized pictures of their building and selling them. even if it is from outer space. It IS trademarked after all...
If you look in any office supply catalog, you will see tons of post-it(tm) knockoffs...
Thats because you can't really patent "a method affixing sticky paper to a surface" -- though in my opinion amazon's 1-click thing is the cyber-equivalent of this.
btw... the post-it adhesive was invented by accident.
adobe snubbed windows as well up until about 4 years ago. They never did simultaneous upgrades. it was always the mac version first, and the windows version whenever they got around to it. Those bastards left me stuck with their POS illustrator 4 for two years, and made me buy a patch so it would even work with windows 95. (super unstable) During this timeframe they upgraded the mac version twice. (yeah thanks)
They did similar stuff after they absorbed aldus pagemaker (which they DESTROYED)
Yet despite all their suckness, Adobe is a very successful company with 2 excellent products i use every day. (photoshop +pdf empire) Unfortunately just about everything else in their product line is second or third rate crap. (In-Design anyone? quark killer my foot!)
What it really boils down to is taht they're pissed cause macromedia came in and ate their lunch on web applications.
Once this technology matures and becomes available to the masses, i dont think the latency will be the biggest problem. We will just have greater access to musicians who suck!
this guy really has too much time on his hands. i can't see anyone doing this actually make a difference. the mountains of poorly encoded mp3's out there is a much larger problem:)
According to the first law of cartoon physics, Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation, therefore it is probable that not every particle in the universe is instantly affected by gravy.
i don't think microsoft is so arrogant that they think andover is going to censor comments on slashdot. this is just a case of more lawyers justifying their existance again.
it really looks to me like the lawyer-bots are looking for stuff to do. They have to keep busy sending out threatening letters to people who are trying to impede their innovation. They probably do it in their spare time inbetween stalling the DOJ and whining about how their market dominance is being threatened.
There were several sites with parodies of the whole elian thing (including the infamous wazzzzup!!! thing which imho was hilarious.) you can find mirrors here
apparantly the associated press has made a concerted effort to "defend their intellectual property rights" by threatening legal action against anyone and everyone they could find who reproduced or altered these images for profit or for fun.
i use a little box called a Casablanca from draco .
its a dead simple NLE box with a 9 gig scsi drive, and it cost about $3500.
i looked into premiere and some capture boards back when i bought this thing, and decided it was just too much a pain in the ass. i would like to have the added flexibility of a computer based NLE, but for my purposes (making sales videos of machinery) it was the perfect choice.
what i would REALLY like to see is a good open source sequencer, with a HARDWARE interface (with lotsa buttons and knobs) for live performance! (like interactive, so REALTIME live performance is possible ) and maybe even better would be the ability to dump your sequences to the interface and just leave the computer at home? Wouldn't it be great to replace all the aging Alesis MMT-8's with something that doesn't crash, but has more flexibility?

Too bad i was so late finding this article.

This is true. It is a patent on the adhesive.

Exactly.
We are the passive "entertained" we think we are interacting, but we ain't really doing anything except talkin about doing something.
Quit reading slashdot NOW. go get some work done. slacker. I SAID NOW DAMMIT...
The state of California isn't making any money offa the internet Waaaah.

Even before the week was out, the rap group Dr Dre had followed suit.
uh... Dr Dre is a guy.. not a group...
i really like that led zeppelin guy
