This brings up the question of filtering websites. There are a lot of filters available that filter out adult sites for those who want to do that. My problem is that when I am looking for porn I often get sidetracked with news, weblogs, statistics, speeches, advertising, political websites, and other insignificant things that I would like to filter out. Hasn't someone built a proxy that will filter out all this extraneous information so I can focus on the important things on the web?
The copyright holders of the songs decide what you can and can't do, which, honestly is they way it shoudl be.
I totally disagree. Copyright is not a natural right; it is a limited privilege extended to works for the purpose of promoting intellectual progress. The copyright holder has limited rights concerning the redistribution of works, but they do not and cannot "decide what you can and can't do." Beyond preventing you from redistributing the work in a manner that impedes intellectual progress, they should have no further legal powers. I believe the DMCA gives copyright holders powers that are not authorized by the Constitution and go completely against the goal of copyright law.
That is correct. The Supreme Court docket is public, and oral arguments are open to the public. Go here for some info. The press usually attends these sessions and reports on them. Also, I don't think that argument has anything to do with why Diebold is abusing copyright law to subvert the US political system.
I wish I could find a way to get in contact with the many people who would probably come see the plays that my theater troupe puts on if they only knew it existed.

Even David Goldsmith seems to believe, based on his comment, that whoever he spoke with at Apple was wrong and that Apple is likely to continue fixing security problems in 10.2. This whole thing is silly.
You're stealing the ones you tear the tags off of; the only one who will notice them missing is you (or whoever you sell them to). You can put them in a duffle bag and throw them in with the truck full of grenades; it will look like 1200 grenades and it's only 1000. You then take your 200 "surplus" grenades to your friendly neighborhood illegal arms smuggler, and profit!
Oh I remember it. But I didn't think anyone other than me and a few other Mac geeks cared. And I certainly don't remember TV ads for system 7 promising the best thing in user interface since the doorknob.
Will they? As someone only half-facetiously pointed out above, switching the tags could easily go unnoticed. Especially when you scan, say, a truckload of grenades or something. Once some unscrupulous person figures out how to lift the tags what's to stop them from passing off a truck filled with 1000 grenades as a truck full of 1200?

Yes it's about time. Finally us Mac & BSD fans can join in the chorus: Microsoft is dying! Whew that felt good.
I wished them a happy Allhallowmas.
They prefer to be known as our SCOverlords.

Yeah, sure... iTunes has also been known to eliminate one of your mouse buttons and introduce copying problems for 17M files.

Funny, that's how I feel about reading and posting on slashdot....
Right. Much easier to start a flame war by bashing Canadians than by reading and responding to the actual article.
There will be a version of Cougaar 10.4.6 that runs on Cougar 10.4.6
You mean Malcolm OS X?
It's "it's."
If you're going to be a spelling nazi, contract correctly.
So, are you saying that Google is "beleagured"?

I would hesitate to characterize the preservation of special collections a mere matter of helping people get phds.
It keeps the iTerrorists away.
... and then you posted about it to slashdot so that spambots can add "notsewmit" to the list of things to search for ...
