I've been contracting for a few years and looking in vain for something full-time.

the article writer thinks that it's bad for the user to own only his own files?
if the user doesn't have access rights to most of the files on the system, that is clearly a solution.
for a desktop system, the last thing an admin wants to hear is, joe user deleted all the files in/dev because he thought they were cluttering up his computer. this system protects the operating system from the user. if a user clicks on the virus in his inbox, that virus can't overwrite files on his system because the user doesn't have rights to do so.
only the superuser has rights to do that, which is why you don't use the root account.
the problem lays in user misconceptions about security. they think "access denied" is bad. something put there to prevent them from working. the UNIX security model was put in place to protect the integrity of the operating system from users. whether through malicious or innocent/ignorant actions.
there are places up north where the cost of living is very low and you have no problems finding a job at 65k a year. in south FL, the cost of living is outrageously high and salaries are an average of 30k to start. I just interviewed with a company that offered me 20k to be a field tech. south FL is probably the worst offender of all in cost of living vs. salary for techs.
however, due to this argument, that would mean downloading isn't illegal.
because the person who makes files available is breaking the law. Not the person downloading files.
when you download, you're doing so from de facto public domain. unless there are security features in place. in which case, should they be bypassed, then that's a whole other law to interpret.
[Linux] seems to be moored in the backwater ages when everything was CLI (which is dying out in case you didn't notce) and the world was encumbered by the albatross of elitist intellectuals who called themselves "programmers".
btw, what kind of admin worth his salt is asking where the mouse is?
Rome sucks, it's by far their worst show in 10 years.
I use Torrents to download legal things like linux isos and video clips and copylefted music like mine.
I also use it to download the occasional missed episode that I can't tivo.
how exactly does the license work for stuff you send out over the free air waves work?
"we're beaming this into outerspace, but you can't download it from the internet because we could theoretically charge you for it. We don't want to do that because we can't quite figure out a business model that involves what people want."
CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, UPN, WB, HBO, SHO: offer for download for a nominal fee, $1.50 or so, HD episodes with DD sound of your shows on your website in a reasonable format (not Real Media) with decent high quality compression, and I guarantee people will use it. I would consider downloading a complete season for $1.50 an episode.
Copyright litigation:
The 3 questions asked by the court:
- Who owns the valid copyrigt - Was there unlawful copying by the defendent - Substansiality and/or similarity
Was there unlawful copying by the defendant?
this has to beg the question of public domain.
I believe the person who uploads the work is guilty of copyright infringement, but not the person who downloads.
in a p2p situation like bit torrent, where uploading and downloading are a simultaneous mechanism, everyone is guilty.
but where web/ftp/irc sites are concerned, only the person uploading the work is actually infringing upon that copyright.
The person downloading is actually obtaining a work from the De Facto Public Domain.
The RIAA is only suing anonymous and identified users who have been found sharing (offering for upload) copyrighted works.
I've been playing all types of games since 1985. I whole-heartedly agree that game ratings should be enforced.
had they been enforced, hot coffee would never have caused a game to be pulled and re-rated.
though, one question remains:
why is setting someone on fire and then pissing on them ok, and clothed sexual acts are not?
I'm citing postal 2 in the former and san andreas in the latter of course.
postal 2 still has an M rating.
san andreas has an AO rating.
while this doesn't matter to me since I'm near thirty years old, it has an effect on the gaming consumer since most parents don't care and say things like "he's played worse"
I like the idea of enforcing ratings. But this is a job for the store clerk and the parent.
Slashdot Mirror
the entire point of the game is to keep paying that monthly fee.
so, of course, they're going to make everything take exorbitant amounts of time.
don't like it? don't play it!
it's just an AOL chat room with monsters anyway.

that about covers it.
I've got an idea. I'll take over your job and you can have mine.
I'm a contractor. I do linux administration for various companies in my area.
I've worked with several fortune 500 firms.
I work maybe 4 days a month if I'm lucky.
but wow, is the work ever exciting!
so, how about it, I'll trade my exciting job for your boring one.

Verizon has the right to set peering policies on their own network.
no it doesn't
the fact is, the FBI tried to sieze the computers without a warrant.
They expected full cooperation with their demands.
they didn't expect someone to force them to obey the law.
I'm not sure that obscurity makes is much more secure than XPsp2.
once the hackers get to work, there will be new flaws found at the rate of 6 a week.
does that mean that by burning an unreleased hollywood movie to DVD, I have created a new derivitive work not covered by the copyright?
As far as AMD outperforming an Intel chip.
they are no longer rated the same.
plus, you need a set of pratt & whitney jet engines to supply sufficient power to AMD chips.
Then, there's all that heat.
I fully agree with this argument
however, due to this argument, that would mean downloading isn't illegal.
because the person who makes files available is breaking the law. Not the person downloading files.
when you download, you're doing so from de facto public domain. unless there are security features in place. in which case, should they be bypassed, then that's a whole other law to interpret.
it will be vinegar
you haven't noticed because you're not using adequate spam filtering.
this is an illusion though.
80% of the traffic on my email server is spam.
regardless of closed relays, spamassassin and SPF implemented.
it's alot easier to send 500,000 emails than it is to block them.
you'd rather watch the season on a 2 inch screen with headphones, than watch it on television?
maybe he wants you to get rid of the stuff so he has more room around his house.
the reviewer didn't test spybot S&D. that's a major player in the anti-spyware game.

even moreso for the parent.
parents wake up.
