Well, technically, there are only links to three small bits of it. A lot of people might look at those, but the people who will actually take the time to put in the URLs of the other parts and watch all ninety minutes will probably be far fewer...

Hey, I didn't think video's were around back then!!
All those movies that were released from the beginning of the century up through the 70s sometime are just a vast conspiracy of filmmakers, then?:-)
This law was created by OUR REPRESENTATIVES. WE THE FUCKING PEOPLE !!!!
I don't know about you, but I'm not a representative. If someone in Congress does something I don't agree with, I have to sit back and take it, simply because he/she/it "represents" me?
How would you like it if someone came to your house and stole your car, simply because they did not agree with property laws ?
If someone did that, I wouldn't have a car anymore. Now, if someone came along, highlighted my car, hit Ctrl-C, went back to their own driveway, and hit Ctrl-V, I wouldn't have a problem.
So, if Congress passed a law, saying that you had to stand on your head for three hours out of every day while live weasels were stuffed down your pants legs, you'd do it?
No, it is called civil disobedience. And, if it gets you locked up, so what? The point of civil disobedience is that you know what you're doing is illegal, but you're showing that you don't think it's wrong. Learn that there is a difference. Just because there's a law against something, doesn't mean it's immoral.
This isn't an attempt to circumvent the law. No-one is claiming that posting DeCSS isn't against the law. There is a law barring it. The point is that disobeying that law isn't morally wrong, and it gets across the point that one disagrees w/ that law and wants it changed.
If you want to blindly follow every law handed down from On High (read: the top of Capitol Hill), vote me into Congress. I think I could have a lot of fun w/ that kind of power over you and your ilk...
That's exactly the point. People want things like DeCSS so that Linux can run as many apps as Windows. If you want to someday dedicate your machine to Linux, people will need to use Linux rather than Windows, so that more apps will be made to run in Linux. What you're suggesting is that, because Linux can't do all these things right now, everyone may as well give up on it. It never will do much unless people keep complaining.
The one w/ the picture of Tux made up of Linux code? There ought to be something like that made out of the DeCSS code. Perhaps a large portrait of the president of the MPAA...:-)
Well, just looking at the Windows character map, the letter 'a' has seven forms (six different accents plus regular), 'c' has two, 'e' has five, 'i' has five, and 'n' has two. In "galeriacentral", the letter 'a' appears three times, 'c' once, 'e' twice, 'i' once, and 'n' once.
They don't have to by law, obviously. They would have to do it if they want to avoid people registering a similar name and putting up a porn site, or something.
Of course, they don't say just how many links constitute a "series". It may take a while, but you could probably navigate your way to DeCSS via links from just about any Web site. Therefore, what the MPAA is really saying, is that they want the vast majority of the Internet shut down.
Then again, I don't suppose they'd be bright enough to realize something as obvious as that, would they?:-)

That's a run-on sentence. Either make it two sentences, or change the comma to a semicolon. :-)
Making it... a plasma? Somehow, I don't think it gets quite that warm on Mars...
"Pack", not "herd".
As a matter of fact, I think we should all have blinking lights on our asses!

Unless all the overclockers join forces to build a gigantic heatsink around the planet. That's what will really save us...
For that matter, velocity and speed are decidedly different concepts, velocity being the combination of both speed and direction...

I don't think they did invent it, though. Wasn't ICQ around before AIM? Even though AOL owns ICQ now, Mirabilis created it...
Well, in that case, I'll stop holding this gun to your head and forcing you to distribute DeCSS code. Oh, wait... No-one's doing that, are they?

And I hope that was supposed to be black/green up there. I've never heard of nor seen white/green, but it sounds painful...
(3 * 7) * (1 * 2) * (2 * 5) * (1 * 5) * (1 * 2) == 4200.
How do you decide which of those forty-two hundred possible accented domains Docrates gets first refusal rights on?
They don't have to by law, obviously. They would have to do it if they want to avoid people registering a similar name and putting up a porn site, or something.
It may be legal for someone to use the code w/o giving credit, but it doesn't mean they aren't a jerk... :-)

Vulcan is also supposed to be in the 40-Eridani system. I'm not certain which is more widely accepted, but I'm pretty sure it's 40, not Epsilon...
Erm... How exactly do you intend to see both programs at once, if one is on top of the other?
