    Then after clicking on click here for status I got a message noting that they had been hacked on the 13th and lost some files. It also said something to the effect that they would be too busy on Sunday to do much because of Something to to with a radio thing on Los Angelas 640 or something. I have not gone back to copy the message due to the /. effect

    Poor guys Hacked on Saturday, /.'ed on Sunday. They will probably will get sued on Monday at the rate their luck seems to be going

    You misinterpret your Constitution. The right to bare arms is about halter tops, tube tops, strapless evening gowns, gownless evening straps, Baywatch, NPN&P and many other great things.

    This is one of the most productive database bugs I have seen. It will teach a whole nation the true meaning of their Constitution.

    There should also be a corresponding whitelist

    If you would also like to consider environmental concerns separate from technical/other concerns add a brownlist and a greenlist. However, that's probably another website

  8. Yes this is a trend. on Network Solutions "Owns" Your Domain Name! · · Score: 1

    To quote from an article in linuxjournal

    "Despite the fact that it is opposed by 23 U.S. attorneys general, by every consumer-rights organization that has ever examined the issue, and by hosts of legal scholars, two U.S. states (Virginia and Maryland) have already adopted the measure. (In a noted U.S. pattern called "The Race to the Bottom", you can expect other states - hoping to cash in on lobbyists' bucks and the tax revenues they'll get by attracting software firms to their states - to adopt UCITA in short order.) "

    Definitely a scary trend. If I was living in the US I would seriously consider leaving.

  12. Re:DDOS? on Media On MS Asking Slashdot To Remove Comments · · Score: 3

    Who says Microsoft cannot Innovate. This was actually a very innovative DDOS attack. All it took was one email to /. that mentioned the DMCA, Copyright violation, Kerberos and Windows. Even more insidiously this email was made to look like it was protecting a trade secret in a manner that would sabotage attempts to embrace extend and extinguish Kerberos, but that would be silly, such a thing would fly in the face of antitrust law.

    This email was the direct cause of /. being wired,linuxtoday'd, cnet'd, saloned, washington posted, first posted etc...

    The instigators of this vile DDOS attack should be hunted down and prosecuted.

  14. Re:In the long run on Material From Solar System's Earliest Moments? · · Score: 1

    I did not post to the wrong story. However, I do make reference to a story posted earlier today. I do agree with everything else in your post. I am strongly in favour of a return to the moon (but not to deliver business cards). I would also like to see asteroids studied in more detail with fresh samples from space. Not just those samples that went to live with Tux in Antartica. In the long run for mining purposes metals and other material can be shipped much cheaper from the asteroids than it can be shipped from the moon's gravity well.

  15. Re:An Honest Question on Material From Solar System's Earliest Moments? · · Score: 1

    Creation and Evolution are not mutually exclusive, unless you want to insist that the creation happened as presented verbatim in the book of Genesis.

    I believe in God. I do not believe in organized religion.

    I believe that god created the earth that we experience now by a process not quite totally unlike evolution.

    I mostly believe the Christian faith but I cannot discount any faith held by others.

    Be free to seek your own faith and donnot deny others theirs.

    If you could prove that God existed then you could not have faith that God existed. You would know that God existed.

    If you could prove that God did not exist then you would be promtly killed at the next zebra crossing.

  18. In the long run on Material From Solar System's Earliest Moments? · · Score: 1

    In the long run more material to study would be helpful. A mission to retrieve asteroid samples would be much more profitable in the long run than dropping business cards on the moon and photographing tire tracks. However, I guess you must get initial funding somehow. Materials mined on the asteroids are cheaper to ship than those mined on the moon.

  24. Counter Productive on Microsoft Asks Slashdot To Remove Readers' Posts · · Score: 1

    This move by MS Legal is very counter productive. If it was MS's wish to prevent the spread of these documents then the best possible method would have been to shut up. If they had kept quiet then these posts and links would have spent the rest of their existance unnoticed in the archives. Now that they have raised a stink about them hundreds if not thousands of copies of them are now spreading across the internet. Perhaps they should not have put the Kerberos specification on the internet in the first place.

    This is either a very stupid move by MS Legal or a brilliant move by MS Marketing to spread knowledge of MS Kerberos.

    This was an effective method of launching a DDOS attack on /.'s new server. it's been /.'d for the half hour.

    This upsets me in retaliation I will have to reduce my budget for purchasing MS products for this year.

    Since said budget is already at zero Microsoft will just have to send me some money and I will return the MSN and J++ demo coasters that I have. I should probably change my email account also.
