Never again will any announcement of new hardware technology be received by us geeks with the glee it once was. The only thing that comes to our minds now is "great, another opportunity for them to add DRM and phase out hardware that allows copying"
'Despite the high technology and fabulous effects of the movie, it explicitly handles the issue of existence and creation, which are related to the three divine religions, which we all respect and believe in.'
Ha. So they believe Jesus both is and isn't the Son of God? Yeah, right.
Some people's logic contortions to give credibility to a bunch of mutually contradictory religions but not to unbelief are truly pathetic.

This crap happens to me a lot too, but apt has nothing to do with it. A simple "rpm -e somepackage", sans apt installed, will sometimes lock. It seems RH9's rpm has serious bugs. And there is no update to it as of this time.
Lemme look at RawHide... yeah, here's an rpm package. Maybe this one will work better?

Actually, everybody has apt these days. I tried it for RH 8 and 9, and it works great.
What a steaming pant-load! I work for what you might interpret as a "spammer", we send out millions of messages today. (...) You need a sustained ~9 megabits per second link to handle a 5K message at that delivery rate. On top of that, there are tarpits, connection limits per MX host, and all manner of obstacles thrown up by ISPs (both national and local).
The sad thing is, it seems you are an intelligent individual. Working. For. A. Spammer. And the technical details you describe make your story credible.
Please tell me the alternatives were taking your current job or living under a bridge.
Man oh man. I'm in the first hour of my first Knoppix experience and I already decided to dump Red Hat 8! No one, I tells ya, no one does hardware detection like Knoppix does. My HP 3425 finally works! KLAUS KNOPPER KICKS ASS!

Sun kept talking about it for a while, but it never happened. Note that the Sun press release is from six years ago.
John Ashcroft says there is no such thing as excessive punishment! (unless if it's drunk driving and snorting coke and you're in Texas and... oh, never mind)
I suppose the article's proposal would only be feasible if the anti-fair-use laws had provisions for the preservation of the future availability of a work for the public domain. Like the mandatory filing of unencrypted copies in the Library of Congress or something. Or, in the CBDTPA's case, mandatory time-unlocking technology for automatic releasing. If you go about these laws and start to take out everything that hinders expiration, they lose most of their teeth. And that's why this is utopian -- they want everything, including the right to complain everything isn't enough.
Whoa! Even better, take a look at the "owner" module help:
OWNER match v1.2.7a options: [!] --uid-owner userid Match local uid [!] --gid-owner groupid Match local gid [!] --pid-owner processid Match local pid [!] --sid-owner sessionid Match local sid [!] --cmd-owner name Match local command name
Let it be known that I applied patch-o-matic through CVS, so your average neighborhood distribution-provided iptables may not have these options.
I use pop-up and cookie blocking in my browser. Am I a thief? You seem to think so, but I'd like you to say that in public, using my real name (Juan Carlos Castro y Castro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). I encourage you to say it as publicly and loudly as you can. (maybe a list of Known Thieves on your website, what about that?) No subterfuges, please. Say "XXX is a thief", with all letters. I'm kinda short on money, and a libel suit is as good a way to get some as any.
The Religious Right, incredible as it may seem, can be the killer ally of the digital freedom movement, just like Stalin was in WWII. Remember that morality vs. copyright case? (the right to edit movies to the customer's content)
When talking to any individual with such orientation, we have to stress that the current copyright fundamentalism is made to favor Hollywood - you know, that big, unholy, pornography-peddling anti-God collective in California. Mentioning Scientology might help too. YMMV.
The numerical system is well established, and it's actually not much harder than picking your long-distance carrier. I know my party number is 13, so I know I will vote for the candidates of this party if I cast the votes as "13 OK 13 OK 13 OK...". (...) I am actually an American-turned-Brazilian at an early age
I see you are smart enough to post as AC. (Note: 13 is the prefix of the leftist PT party -- Lula's.)
Seriously, a friend of mine once was fired from a transnational company because he declared publicly that he voted PT. Of course, the company said the cause of termination was incompetence (never mentioned before the damning declarations).
Well, since I'm feeling lazy today, I'll limit myself to "Due Process" (re: detentions without charge and without access to legal representation). I'm sure other people will point out my many omissions (maybe something about religion).
I want to watch the shit fly on this one. Better yet -- someone should make John Ashcroft publicly aware of this fight. We'll have the most powerful Fair Use advocate faster than you can say "morning prayer meetings".
Ah, who am I kidding? He'll probably find a way to favor BOTH stripping or rights AND far-right puritanism at the same time.
Once I hit that magic dollar amount, I'm done. If I spent it on unlimited-play music CDs, I'll just keep listening to those for the rest of the year, and not get new ones. If I did pay-per-play music, I'll find other forms of entertainment.
<paranoid> Aha, but you won't be able to stop! And the friendly credit card companies will give you unlimited credit! (with minimum percentage monthly payments, of course) Ever heard of subcutaneous chip implants? Walk into a building where some Muzak is playing in the hall? Ka-ching! Go into the elevator, different Muzak? Ka-ching! Walk by a store where stereos and/or TV are on? Ka-ching!
I said it before and I'll say it again: everybode owes Valenti, Rosen, Gates et al aleph-infinite dollars. It's just that they haven't started collecting yet. </paranoid>
Amen to that bro. What they are trying to do is rob the future. This article too was written by Dan Bricklin (how can you not love such a guy?) and every legislator should be forced to listen to it, Clockwork Orange style.
OK, maybe Beethoven isn't necessary, but you get the idea.
I believe that things go to far (in the eyes of the law) once you start taking an action to carry out your threats.
Buying a gun, getting the floorplans to the building, etc would be enoughto lock you up under consipirsy charges. Mearly saying you'd like to isn't enough.
