This is ridiculous. There is no way in hell something like this should have been done. I think it just shows the fact that people aren't paying any attention to technology that they have control over. It's all a bunch of stuffed shirts who wouldn't know a GB from a BK Kids Meal who make the decisions about technology. Now that it's something a generation has been forced to grow up with, I just hope that people who understand it get into office before there's not much left in America to defend.
Sheesh... FlameBait, or Troll, maybe... But Offtopic? Mod it down again, and do it right this time! Sheesh... A bad joke, but ontopic... $3 crack smokers...
2248566290 Here is your navigator : Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98) Just a security hole of Slashdot. You can find this kind of hole in all sites which has a forum. I think that in site like e-trade you can make some people asks for stocks. You can contact me there : Krakus.Irus@voila.fr If you want to retry. If you want to know more.
Not to fall into a trolls hands, or speak the obvious, but this is far from being simple 'Anti-MS crap.' They have brought a battle to the front door of/. They have decided to attack the people who run this site for our posts. They are trying to make a piece of open source proprietary. I don't like it when people attack MS as a knee jerk response either, but now they have gone too far.
Well, there's that stupid thing that they sell on late night infomercials where you can pause and rewind your tele... That sounds like a half assed reason to buy it... But, in general, it sounds pretty fsking lame.
No way. If you install my buggy software, that's your fault. I shouldn't be liable at all. It's ridiculous... Besides, are you going to sue iSpyder? =) If you can't put a lawsuit on him/her, you shouldn't be able to sue me.
IMO, this is just another good reason for open source. If you have potential bugs that can ruin a system, they're spelled out right there in black and white.
You're thinking of Gradius III... It was the SNES version of Lifeforce/Gradius. If you punch in the Konami code in Gradius 1, you get 30 lives. In 3, you blow up your ship. If you replace the Left right Left right with the top L, R, L, R buttons, you got the lives. And now, after that nostolgic moment, I'm going to shoot myself.
That's always been my theory. I think that the 'Dark Matter' problem has always sounded like one of those cheesy Roddenberry pieces of info... Like the inertial dampeners, we hear about them, but there's no science involved, and no proof. Sounds pretty bad. "There's this... uhmmm... Stuff. and it's like, you can't see it, but it's all over! And there's more of it than there is of us, Mmmkay?" I dunno... Now that I've typed that, sounds like Mr Makcey than it does Roddenberry... -Dusty Hodges
I think this whole situation is pretty damned funny, however, there is one problem I have. The idea 'that if your not doing anything to be ashamed of you have nothing to hide.'
Hell, you're not doing anything wrong, are ya Atticka? Mind if I come over to your house, rifle through your drawers, and check your computer for warez and pr0n? While I'm at it, I should probably go through all of the kitchen cabinets too. After all, you don't have anything to hide, right?
I gotta agree with that. I can go down to Hollywood video and get them cheaper than that... Hell, I can go to most any ol Used Console shop and get the real thing for about $25... And Some of the games for LESS that $1.50! It sounds like a good idea, but I really think that, with prices like that, it's pretty horrible... I don't want to wait for 10 minutes for it to download on my LT Win Modem if I have to reboot my POS windows side either.
Do you think that you, as a band, sold out when Cliff Burton died, or was there another reason you broke your promise to the fans that you would 'Never make a video, and never become a sell out MTV band'?
Exactly... Not to post another 'Me Too', but this is nothing but bullshit... The story was horribly written, and intellectual property is not music.
Metallica is, in this case, horribly hypocritical. They say they don't want their music to be 'a commodity', but they allow labels to sell it. I personally think we need to revamp the copyright laws... I think all art, be it code, books, or music, should be written by artists, not buisness people. I think the GNU public license should be the new buisness model. I don't want 'art' from the Spice Girl, or some other group made by a corp. I want art from artists, who make their art for the love of the art.
There is a huge difference between 'No conclusive scientific evidence' and 'no evidence'. I personally believe in erring on the side of caution. Call me a hippy if you want, but if it's going to injure people and the environment, I don't care how fast it goes. I'd rather have a 16Mhz computer with no blood on it than a 16 GHz responsable for the rape of the planet and the death of innocents. Personally, I think anyone who disagrees should have the pleasure of living behind the IBM plant for a while.
Oh come on. What kind of arguement is this? 'I get sick of seeing this, so I don't think it should be posted.' This is inane on a number of levels.
1)Not everyone is/. 31173 like yourself, and thusly, hasn't had a chance to see previous articles.
2)If there is one sort of point that should be brought to our attention on a regular basis, it should be censorware, and all other things censor related. The more this is brought to our attention, the more likely that people are going to get off of their asses, and do something about it... (Letter writing, etc...)
3)This isn't exactly a common sort of article on censorware. This is, basically, catching them with their pants down. Finally someone gave a small peek into one of the lists of a major piece of censorware... Maybe I just need to get online more, but this isn't something I have seen much of before.
Unfortunatly, not that much of the market isn't windows. If you want to make a cheap piece of hardware by using software, you have to focus on the Win side to make any money... Software based isn't going to do it for anyone else anyway... Linux users are smart enough not to pay good money for software based modems. But eventually, someone on LinModems will post their drivers for it. It's bound to happen. I truly think that this is no big loss for any other community. As I can verify, being the owner of an LT Win modem, software based modems are pieces of shit. If I were a more informed geek at the time I had purchased my machine, I would have made sure to get a hardware based modem... When crap is being peddled to the masses, why be upset that they aren't marketing to you? Software based modems are, quite simply, the fast food of connectivity hardware. If you want something that is any good for you, you simply have to go with something else. Just my opinion, Dusty Hodges
Damn it all. I swear I cut and pasted that aut of the box which had the correct question. If you ask it, and click on the one that is spelled just exactly right... (much like the 'Is Jeeves Gay' question' you are supposed to get back 'What do you mean? An African or European swallow?'
I love the new interface myself... I like the idea of a skinnable browser. I'm definately going to have to download M15... I've been running Mozilla since about M13, and I've seen huge improvements each time.
As far as it being slow, perhaps it just has huge system requirements? I have really not noticed any lag on either my 433 home machine, or 450 G3 at work with the few latest builds of MoZilla, or with the preview version of Netscape 6. Am I the only person without huge latency problems?
I'd have to say that the people who care are the folk who don't like to carry a molten laptop. I know the fan broke on my Fujitsu Lifebook not too long ago, and that thing became almost painful to hold in my lap after a few minutes... And it's 233! I'd hate to see what kind of widgets we'll need to put the new GHz processors in a laptop.
Brilliantly phrased. I hadn't realized things had gotten so bad in Brittan. I usually find myself fairly clouded by Ethnocentrism, and don't remember that not everyone has a first amendment. I was thinking that I was going to skip America after some laws were passed (specifically California's Prop 22) and I think that Holland is fairly wonderful... But that is just based on rumours I have heard.
Further, to actually comment on this case. I know I speak for most folk reading this when I say that this is evil and foul. The very idea that people can lash out at that which they don't understand is absolutely the bottom. The only thing I can think of is that we should create a new post in our governments. Call it the national geek. Applicants must be between 20-40, and has the power of veto on all laws involving the internet. It's the only solution I can think of. Either that, or we have to wait 40 years, until the geeks and the internet generation is in power.
