  3. to the "layman" on EFF Action Alert -- Online Freedoms In The Balance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    here is my question - how do you convince the "non techie" that crypto/privacy matters? most are quick to give it up to be "safe"

  4. Re:What's the difference? on Your Face Is Not a Bar Code · · Score: 1

    "Information wants to be free. Laws which attempt to stop the spread of information will fail"

    wrong. and by saying that you are guaranteeing our loss. WE want information to be free. laws which attempt to stop its spread will succeed unless we fight to keep it that way

  5. Re:Armchair Bitching on Congress Plans DMCA Sequel: The SSSCA · · Score: 1

    he is right. dont live in SC? find an address or make one up (its required at the website). a site like this really has the power, and doing something like send an email takes 2 minutes.

    can someone summarize? i didnt have time to read it all while i was beginning to build a database, watch tv, eat a sandwich, and download porn. thanks

    im curios as to how much spam the /. guys get - considering their address is around so much. what do they do to block them?

  11. What Journalists on Lord of the Geeks · · Score: 1

    Yes its a flame but seriously,

    "I don't think I really agree with him, but it's an interesting read nonetheless. "

    what is with all this commentary lately? like it or not you are journalists and its time to start acting like one

    i doubt many people on the site care if you agree or not. lately every article has some ad lib by the poster. im worried how much more biased this site is getting. maybe start reading some real journalists' work and see how to separate reporting from op-ed pieces. please.

  15. ahem.. on Checksumming Webpages Patented · · Score: 1

    if these are so obvious, why doesnt someone patent them in the name of "keeping them free?" its like, math formulas are easy and obvious once you read about them, try being the one figuring it out. not as obvious as it seems if you say you already have done it, then shit, patent it so no one else can

  16. time to be responsible on XBox Tidbits · · Score: 1

    "No clue if its real, but it sure looks like it might be. "

    ya, who cares if its real, right? as long as it bashes microsoft we'll put it up! shit, i should write an article about microsoft being bad and get slashdotted.

    come on people, you are journalists now.

  17. its not just them on The Creation of "Fan" Sites · · Score: 1

    although i agree, dont single out the movies on this one. mandy moores management created some, as im sure did a lot of other bands. did you guys ever see the one pud from fuckedcompany made for himself? it used to be at pud.com but he took it down. kind of making fun of the whole thing im going to start making fansites for websites.

  19. dont support it on Security Of Windows/Office XP Activation Code? · · Score: 2

    i have been using windows since i started with computers, use it now. i am an ASP, mssql etc programmer. However, i believe in the motto "you vote with every dollar you spend" (or in *nix's case, dont spend hehe) i have always been interesting in linux and open source, but never enough to do anything serious with it. however, i will not give in the xp bullshit. there is absolutely no reason i should not have complete control over my PERSONAL computer. so, my next upgrade will be to linux. welcome me aboard.

  20. so? on Electronic Pricetag Alteration · · Score: 1

    why is this all of a sudden in the news? i (as im sure many of you) have done this for years

    hehe, one time i tried it at gateway, got this loc'd out system for like $500, but the human in the process caught it

    you know, i dont consider this stealing. i call it natural selection. WHY would you embed the price in the page? you know, i think you can afford mysql. i heard its cheap.

  23. im all for it... on Web Standards Project: Upgrade, Or Miss Out · · Score: 1

    i am glad to see this getting pushed, cause im sure as hell not strong enough to do it alone. the best way is server side (ie silicongod.com) but javascript is at least a good start. what makes this any different than the tv -> hdtv thats coming? except there if we dont switch, we get nothing. so why not do the same? as far as i can see, the only thing stopping most people is them not knowing how to upgrade. so as long as detailed directions are there, where is the prob? i will thouroughly enjoy paging a code ONCE.
