whoa, chill, it is not that bad, perhaps they wrote in a told them where the hole was but did a little joke on their way out. cos they (as far as it looks) have have damaged nothing but bought a humourous index page instead, and hey they even told what the other one was. i mean what would you like them to do? spend their time completely taking down some important site
and SETI further mankind? how will it?
by that claim, a porn site that gets some guys motor running shouldn't be hacked cos of its gonna further mankind ???
After a little snooping of HTML, youll find yourself back at Alex Gurry's homepage (which is logic serves, he is probably the one who did this.
ok, this is very likely, but perhaps its not him. its like someone who doesn't know much and blames slashdot.its just you've done a little more research and found this e-mail and i disagree with the comment below
Send him an eMail and tell him what you think about SPAM; I did!
doing that (esp if ya don't know 100%) is almost as bad as the original spam. because you're wasting bandwidth like spam does. two wrongs don't make a right, perhaps you should send a polite e-mail to the persons isp and tell them what is happening and they can acctually do something, cos if it is correct, they can do something about it.
for one, by mailing him you're veryfying your e-mail is valid..
Cos its about time BG paid for his shoddy releases. and lets all share the wealth...
And also the article give nice examples for other things to do like killing the MS share price...
ok, i don't think the above should be done(:P)... but it is always possible, wouldn't it be ironic (don't ya think) if his own products would be his own downfall.
-- So what if you can jump over a chair bill, if i have to install windows for the n'th time today that chair won't make it over you...
Internet useage is up, sure. but at the same time voice messages are decreasing (my guess), because of e-mail, icq and others i for one, and many flatmates and friends don't make many voice calls (besides ordering pizza:P). calls that we would usually make if we didn't have the net to talk with.
so their complaints about the possibilities of overloading (which are always possible under dire circumstances) are stupid. and doubly stupid a week after their own flat rate which will increase the useage.
altho, it at least we shouldn't have to worry too much about being kicked off because of overloading
Another thing which is truly sickening is the fact that the government ever sold off the company in the first place.
The lines and equipment that is now owned by [snip] setting up the damn company, it was pre-existing and ready to run when they bought it.
yep. also talking about profits and the oringial price it was sold for for all you non-nzers. it was sold for about $4billion (NZ) in 92 i think so either it has or will very soon pay for itself.
Also about the line quality, when our lines went down for about a day and a half the telecom contracters had to dig up a bit of the sidewalk to get to the cables.. of which we were surprised were from 1956 (if i recall correctly). and they were not replaced at all either... i wouldn't mind paying my bills if they money went to upgrading the wire network so the whole system will not go down like Aucklands power did last year.
i wouldn't havedisagreed with telecom too much about this cos their servece is much better than it was decades ago. but seeing as it came about a week after its own flat rate internet i am greatly pissed
The bootleggers performed nothing short of grand theft.
in the case with the fact that the viewers would have watched the episode anyway and they want to see it i can't see how you can call it grand theft.
because they are not getting it from WB is not their choice, they are not aviding them at all.
i compare this to my getting episodes of futurama and simpsons (FOX).over here in New Zealand we are a few months behind USA. altho i am watching them off the net, when they are on TV i still watch them, so fox, and TV2 (the local Broadcaster of simpsons)will still my viewership. regaurdless of me watching it off the net or not.
and with futurama, Tv2 havn't even mentioned futurama, and i would like to watch it now, instead of months (or perhaps a year) from now, i download the episodes. and as with simpsons, as soon as futurama is shown here i will watch it and everyone will get their money.
and i beleive the viewers will still watch the buffy on tv (if they're not big fans they are not going to go to the effort of d/ling the net version) besides the versions on the net are still not good enuff to be a complete replacement for the TV versions
i remember looking for 'swearwords' in the dictionary at school when i was eight.. should the school be closed down for allowing me to see this... no! because I found out that all the words had meanings (duh) which have no relevance to slang.. eg bloody etc. perhaps something might be refering to the act of intercourse (oh no.. the censor police are coming) (not that i'd see any use in source code). I feel if they're not going to ban every word the oxford dictionary. they shouldn't ban any at all. cos how about if i find the word 'cup' offensive will they go about banning that too?
even tho this article is about Ozzie, all[?] countries have their own censorship laws and they are getting worse...
its sad, when we like to call outselves 'free' we have so many restrictions
>Sayings. Maybe he needs professional help. not the only one it seems buddy
>Star Wars Widows indeed. well ppl say the sky is blue to the naked eye.. but hey, i'm still not going to beleive it
hey its not just star wars addicts that brake up marrages,as addictions of many kinds do, its just that fact that they do, and you are unwilling to see that
hehe, i can't say i have had a day started off as amused as this one. thanks for the link.
if only there was a tv broadcast channel run by us geeks, and aimed at the non literate... we would not have amusing casts as these...nevermind, these are more enjoyable.
Also, i wonder how much the viewership of slashdot is going to go down in the next few days:P
the rest of you ppl are argueing about how, it is other people doing it(advertising etc etc), for sure, george can't do all the work, but noone in anything does that. but he is pushing all the buttons to get this done, he is in control of all of it, it is him accepting all the billions of dollars from here and there. i don't believe jon is attacking the movie itself. but rather only the hype..
looking at the poll results for the star wars hype is amusing, i have checked the results as more and more people vote, yet it is staying at approx (not in order) 40% to be expected (yep ok) 32% pissing me off (and this is the nerd?s voting,.. ie the people that are what is holding most of it up) 11% just media hype (true, but most people are just lapping it up) then finally 14% deserved... and what are you basing this on?. you have only seen some previews,most of the movies i have seen cannot be fairly judgeed once the previews have been seen. how can you say it is deserved. perhaps it may be a good movie but you cannot yet say it. therefore you cannot say it is deserved. hey don't get me wrong i am seeing the first showing over here(i fell to the pressure). but i'm sure its not going to be the best movie i have seen this year.
and finally
why can't you guys handle a little critizism?, he is not saying keep away at all cost, cos hey, hes still gonna see it, hes just commenting on the hype and how this is not in the heart that the old ones were.
your attitude reminds me of MS, there are people who think MS are the best thing since sliced bread (i don't), and can't handle any critizism,. we some is due (as we all agree)
... if star wars:PM is going to be so wonderful by itself , why couldn't we turn around without seeing its hype or adverttising crammed down into our brain. and not totally sold out for every buck there is and more.
>sorta like maybe Anakin Skywalker I guess... how very true
>Just can't imagine Bill sacrificing everything to >redeem himself, but then, who would have after >the first film.
yep, i beleive he *was* a hero of the 70's and some of the 80's (but def not the 90's) but as a businessman i think hes spot on. i mean, hey if noone likes ya anyway why not increase the billions apon billions of net worth...
if only he had decided on pride of good programming than what is more profitable he would have many more freinds (or a freind)
I think it would be better titled Business@ the speed of theft
btw i'm sure this book has real life left out
(it reminds me of the edited (duh)picture from a sun employee with a cuppa java down the road on the "the road ahead" cover) anyway the good ol penguin has some new paper to *ahem* on.
--- i'm sure there are inaccuries in the above.. but i like complaining...
Slashdot Mirror

has anyone sucessfully made a mirror with the whole QT or MP files (esp the highest qual)?
i downloaded it ok, but i get the fault when trying to play it. and was wondering if it was just realplayer on my pc that was stuffing up
anyway, thanks for putting the mirror up
:P
I have downloaded the entire file off the mirror but i still get an general? error... anyone else find that it doesn't work for them?
