I'm curious as to exactly what it is you're trying to say. Perhaps you ought to seperate you.sig from your comments a little better (I know I should)...
I think this can be solved easily: no person may be prosecuted by a country for (non-physical) crimes committed against the laws of that country while not within it's borders. Of course, if you stand at the Canadian side of the border and shoot a US guard - well that's a whole other story (hence the "non-physical" clause, where physical can be defined as an action that does not leave 'meat-space':)
Well, I think they're welcome to use his cached password to login and remove the site if it's available. Of course, trying to hack the server just isn't right, and neither is demanding its removal.
It is the grand flaw of capitalism. When a company reaches the point where it no longer has to care about how good the service it provides is, and merely tries to maximize it's profit without needing any concern for the trade-off, then it is wrong. Take Microsoft. It's not in there best interest to increase their profit by making a better product - it works better for them to screw their customers. That's what anti-trust laws are for, and that's why we try to keep any one company from having control of a product/service. The unscrupulous among us (and there are many) will stop caring about customers. That's not how it should work.
Yeah, or he just couldn't see the little red light above the tollbooth thingy because of the way the sun was angled and decided it looked green. Yeah, you've definitely sat at a stop light at least once spending a few seconds trying to figure out what color was shining because it was drowned out.
Oh, nice - because I remember that the Maine Yankee used to have daily tours until it shut down due to end-of-life. I imagine it didn't take more than a few dollars to get into the tour. Granted it wasn't into the operating room, but it was on-site.
Well, no matter how you look at it, you either have to install this emulation into the windows code (fat bloody chance), or you must emulate the disk below the windows level. Bochs looked interesting, but comments indicate it does everything in software and is hence slow. Plex86 seems promising though; it takes a VMWare approach to emulation by natively doing as much as possible and 'virtualising' the rest - pretty fast.
I'd opt for booting a minimalist Linux over the network that starts Plex86 with a network image as the hard drive. In this manner, I suspect you can do damned near whatever you want, including emulating CD drives.
Wow... most of us feel good about getting a story we've written posted on Slashdot. You got a story written about you! Kudos man... now if only it wasn't a story about something you did that was incredibly stupid!
I mean, geeze. I know some people who aren't the best with directions, but you're the only one I've ever heard of that needs to know the Latitude and Longitude of his house to get back... Or is this just in case the foundation shifts?
Air compressors are so much fun for cleaning computers. Try aiming the output directly at a fan. Spins faster than it was ever designed:). Yeah, I know it's not smart... but it's FUN!
Just make sure the air compressor isn't spitting some liquid out with the air (many spit some water vapor as well).
Given my choice between shutting down the net with thermonuclear war and a technical means, I'd go with the tech. Start by blackholing whatever core routing systems you can with BGP - that should break the net into hundreds of fragments. Then screw over the 14(?) root servers so that they lose their connections. Within 3 days, everything will die, and within minutes of killing the BGP setup, most everything will go. Granted many systems have filters in, but if you're in the right spot you can inject the appropriate messages.
OK, let's put this one to rest for once and all. I can't even begin to use the code unless I've paid for the right to do so. PGP Freeware exempted yes, but if I'm trying to do something for, say, a company, then I can't do squat with the code. Sure, I could theoritically modify it, but I would be in trouble for using that code until I've bought the license.
Uh, that's great, but they still own it. Yes, you can look at the code, but you can't use or modify it without their consent - which I don't think that they intend to give. Open source means that you get those benefits.
www.linuxfromscratch.org - They'll be glad to help you desing your own setup and guide you through the steps required to run off of a read-only medium. Most of the info is in the hints archive, I believe.
You have to remove the spaces that slashdot puts in because some genious months ago figured out this thing called a "page-widening post." About the most annoying thing I've ever seen, really.
BSA is in the interest of selling more software. They believe this can be done by keeping the internet from being heavily locked down. Don't think they're evil before and good now, they're still promoting the same interest: green stuff in their member's pockets.
The.spec file is contained within the source RPM and hence is extractable. Besides, I'm not aware of an archive of just.spec files for Red Hat (though they most likely exist).

And I am making a rather flat joke to what you referenced. haha, lol...
Yeah, and even then listening to the CD isn't quite as fulfilling, now is it?
