Dont worry it is not just Americans. Educated people all over the world dislike the French. French deceit and cowardice it quite obvious to anyone who has read a book on 20th century history.
Aside from the obvious imperial war in Viet nam. The best way to tell the difference between americans and french it to look at how the french treated (and taxed) the defeated germans in WWI and how the US treated a defeated germany a few yearas later. Speaks volumes.
"Your email address suggests you could have Indian origin"
Careful, your ignorance is showing. India is hardly the only country that uses sanskrit. Do you people even use sanskrit anymore?
Kind of funny, though, i used to read the south china morning post and the times of india.I saw some really racist stuff in the indian media during the kargil confilct(1999) . Stuff that makes anything in the american media look tame. The baseless stuff published by the indian media was amazing (hop over to their site its in the archives)
there is that old aying about people in glass houses..
gee what gave you the opinion i was an american?
I'm just stating the obvious. And yes, the french are ethnic assholes. I m not talking about french leaders. Have a problem with that?
i think the site should be in france. I mean, if there were an "accident" no one would really care either. All in all i think it is a win-win situation. works= we get energy. explodes= french die.

"your identity available to spies from the RIAA and other unscrupulous organizations."
If you are the one breaking copyright laws, i dont see how the RIIA could be the "unscrupulous" one. I mean if what everyone wants is to legally share legal files, gnutella would work just fine.
from the article:
"Vaunatian company, with branches in Israel, the US and France"
Does anyone else recognise the name of the country this firm is based in. This looks really really dubious. Anyone build the source and make sure it is the same thing as the binary?
The fact that it phones home URLs you access and it is based in Vanuatu (i'm guessing the article has a spelling error) ought to raise red flags..
Feel sorry for anyone who installed this.
ugh its not a hack. using the API is not a hack. heck its been done so much before "dvd jon" wrote his little program, i was amazed slashdot had it as "news"... geez some people here are such sheep.
talk about liberal media! these are the top stories on the N Korean news site:
U.S. Urged to Accept Simultaneous Action and Package Solution
Abolition of SL in S. Korea Demanded
U.S. Imperialists' Aerial Espionage on DPRK
Japan Not Qualified to Participate in Six-way Talks
Meeting against Evil Laws Held in S. Korea

If i remember correctly, Robert X. Cringely was the same guy who wrote that Win XP ran DOS underneath becasue "cmd" works and that windows should be based on linux instead because linux is better than DOS.
For all the stupid things i have seen on/. , what i dont understand is why this guy is so important?
the problem with LOTR is that each movie is made with a sequel in mind. I mean, walking out of the theater after fellowship of the ring, you knew they would make a sequel. Just like the loud mouth sitting behind me said at the end " man, they so set that one up for a sequel". Same thing with part 2. Heck, im sure that part 3 will be end like tht too. Part 4 will probaby be something like "Battle for the Shire" then they will want to milk the cow even more and come out with a prequel like star wars. Probably call it "The Hobbit" or something like that.
" paid-for, downloaded music is now DRM-wrapped so it can't be burned to music CDs and played on home stereos or in cars"
This is exaclty what apple prevented. I dont think you even know what you are talking about. How about you go use itunes before you make a generic/.-type statement like that.
I love how everyone assumes it is illegal claiming the DMCA or some other law when it hasnt even been judged so in a court of law. The slashdot crowd is getting dumber and dumber, i guess it is time to leave.
look at all the links on the page, see how they try to SELL you the product.. this looks like a really thinly vieled ad. I love the final paragraph though
". Some other MP3 players let you choose between BuyMusic, Musicmatch, and Napster, all of which use Microsoft's secure WMA files. Those files are supported by a wide range of MP3 players but not the iPod. If you want a greater degree of choice in music services, go with an MP3 player from one of the following companies....."
Kinda reminds me of something MS was saying recently... alomst exactly the same if i remember correctly
while it would be very nice, this DOES NOT let you run OSX apps on linux, not on and i386. This simply lets you run binaries for the PPC processor from OSX on netbsd running on a PPC. Not just any binaries too, just those that dont use the Aqua GUI.
Dont really see the point of it aside from it being a nice technical achievement, kinda like running darwin on an i386.. no real point just cool:)
hmm OSX runs on a free OS already ; Darwin. goto the dev site and download the code. This is a pretty pointless project aside from the "cool hack" nature of it. There is really nothing new that can come out of it since you are just going from one unix on PPC to another and they are both free
dude that is so not the point. Find out if you can run ppc code on x86 without emulation. Please im dying to find out.
geez people on slashdot are getting dumber as more noobs flood in..

yes, because french restraunts in the US are not actually owned and run by french nor do they employ french..

"Since when does it make sense to switch the onus for security to hardware?"
You obviously have never heard of DES, that was decades ago. Might want to read a bit on computer security before saying so dumb.
