Is it called squatting if someone purchases a lot of land in Silicon Valley, expecting to sell it for 3x the price in 2 years?
Actually yes it is. Common sense and a little judgement and you realize that. The real estate business is bullshit. As much money as there is in it, its the end user that gets fucked over every time when the house sells for 3x what was paid for it. I'm rather sick of it, its been happening in my neighborhood for years. (ohh, but property values go up up up.. fuck that, I like this neighborhood and do not want to be stuck living with the ultra rich. very few rich geeks will come cuz this is the heart of the biblebelt.)
Is it squatting if someone got into Ultima in the beginning and managed to build a huge castle, something which noone else can do as there's not enough land?
Its a video game, if somebody doesn't like it, go to a different server or play a real game (Rainbow 6 - Rogue Spear: Urban Operations comes to mind, but insert any NON-monthly-fee-ripoff-of-a-game here.)
UO is just a bad idea in the first place. You are paying to play your game. It should be open and have 100% free public servers run by anyone and everyone. Use a copy of Gamespy Lite with the game to organize the servers. Just make sure the server has a linux version and boom, you have plenty of servers (every body knows linux geeks like to run game servers).
There's a fine line between free speech and slander. Free speech (in the U.S. anyway) doesn't mean that you can say anything you want. There are restrictions
Whilest its true that you cannot yell fire in a public place to create mass hysteria or *PURPOSEFULLY* give out false information about a person or company, you can still use microsoft.org to tell MS to go fuck itself and be covered under the first amendment. What we are talking about here is exactly free speech. Free speech has a lot to do with telling some government or business what their problem is and that you don't like them. Thats the problem with ICANN and WIPO, no garaunteed protection of free speech, only your corporate money. Its rather scary that mattradio.com could take away my mattradio.org (which I am fully using) just because they registered theirs before me and probably have a bit more money than me.. thank god i get free legal counsel... (note, mattradio.com guys kick ass and are not trying anything against me, just an example). Sometimes you just can't find a shovel big enough to PANG the WIPOs face.
they just dont have a good reference to find out. I know when I was brand new to Linux, the only troubles I had were finding the damn files. If there was some good reference (and I mean a web page, not one of the thousands of books... free as in speaking with BEER. yes it happens) then newbies would be much welcome. I know my problem with windows is the INSANE amount of crap I must rummage through just to get to one thing, when a simple cd/etc/ and vi fstab would get the job done in one hundredth of the time. Windows didnt revolutionize anything, it just made everything and everyone feel stupid.
Low to medium stress situations. Hmm.. Here's and idea: lets make the police the most trained people in the world. You have to go through seal training, give it really high pay, and make them specialized. Put Richard Machinko in charge too. A> No worries about terrorism response on american soil and B>no more police that cant handle the 'stressful' situations. Shit, if my it had been my world, the police woulda joined in the protests at the WTO and in Philly.
When it comes to freedom, maybe I'm alone here, but if destructing private property and blowing up some shit is gonna preserve it for people and not corporations, I say just fucking do it. We've become lazy and brainwashed by the media and those in power. I'm a rational human being and I'm not saying don't try to compromise, but there is a point at which, whether you wish to admit or not, violence is the last stand for our freedom. Now, as for the WTO, Seattle PD should not have arrested 98% of the people. Police forces need restructuring. Train specialists for riots to target only the violent ones, and I know they're doing this, but it needs to be done better. Its the only way our rights can be preserved without mass violence from a poorly trained, easily provoked police force.
The massive amount of ignorance permeating from the media lately is insulting to my intelligence and insulting to the form of government we partake in. Burn the networks, save the books.
Ya know WHY? Becuase Americans have the most presence and spend hundreds of millions on the UN and NATO in the first place. Damn aussies. and canadians.:) hehe. It was the politicians, not the people, who took away the worlds rights.:P Good night and god bless.
Ok, napster wrote some software. It doesn't rip, it doesn't take mp3s from napsters database, all it does is allow people to connect to each other and share their music. Thats fair use. YES it is fscker. Don't try it. Fair use is what we, the citizens say it is, and i say its fair use. Artists can make money regardless of whats on the net for free. Record sales INCREASED last year. I-N-C-R-E-A-S-E-D for christs sake. INCREASED INCREASED INCREASED. No more industry lakeys. RIAA is using Metallica wether they like it or not. Why? My taste of music is different. Who do I buy? Dave Matthews Band mostly(shutup, I liked him long b4 he was top40). DMB, a band that supports taping at shows and has a huge mp3 live concert following. Hell, I have trouble getting a normal Dave song online now. All live. And great. Thus I buy every dmb cd.
''does not justify that a commercial operation can enrich themselves exploiting that,'' Isn't a major whole point behind the concepts of a FREE MARKET SYSTEM? Finding new ways to do business with what you have.
First, please everyone stop saying Indie. Its a record company hype word. Second, I came across some good underground music on napster the other day. How? I was searching for some orbital and somebody had put names of similar djs/bands in the title of one of their songs (ie (If you like Orbital, dj liquid, etc etc then check us out) blah band-blahsong.mp3 ) and it actually kicked ass. Poof, there ya go. Just gotta be smart. And now that the above band has been featured on slashdot, im sure a bunch of their music is about to 'magically' appear on napster.:P mattRadio.org Shameless self advertising.
"but it should fall upon the people who create the software, not a third party"... Actually no it shouldn't. Its your responsibility to learn. However you do your learning, its still your way of doing it. Don't be lazy and want everything. Plus Cold Fusion is pretty much junk, especially because its entire design is propreitary and meant to make a lot of money as a 'web programming langauge' for its authors. Hrmm... sounds a lot like Sun's corporate-side intention with Java...
Its a reaction to something someone said. Not 'your work'. You didnt spend any money to create the comment. You're a geek that reads slashdot. Stop wasting your time in this forum if you dont want people to have complete and utter freedom with your comments.
CoS is for rich people to buy their way into heaven. The rhetoric is full of hypocrisy and general bullshit. I have enough problems with the holes in general church rhetoric, then to see people follow a newer religion that has policies directly contrary to whats in the bible... well its sickening. No I'm not a bible belter (yes I live in the bible belt). Hell, I don't even go to church. I interpret the bible how I interpret it, but CoS dictates what it should be for their members own ends, they do not interpret it. Walk your own path, do not walk theirs and do not let them tell you that their path is your path. Same goes for every religion.
Selective shitfit throwing is not a good excuse my friend. It simply needs to be an open process, and perhaps THE reason for that is a bug that destroys your/usr/local/games directory... a LOT of people would be pissed off (including me). Keep it open, keep people happy. Any 'extreme exploits' will simply need to be fixed quickly. I know its not always that easy, but by this time it should be... how long have the mozilla peeples been playing with that code? After a while, you kind of become meshed into the code yourself. Btw, since I'm to lazy to check myself, is Mozilla fully GPL'ed (not LGPL or any other stupidGPL, G-P-L)or are there use restrictions inherited from netscape anywhere in there?
Thats what UCITA is for, so you can't use that old license. Its the most horrible legislature I've experienced since opening my eyes to the real world.
