I remember when I was a freshmen in college, many people here on Slashdot were begging the RIAA to attack the individuals that were guilty of copyright infringement, and not the parties that provided the software and networks to make it possible. Now the RIAA is doing exactly that, and the good people at Slashdot continue to cry foul.
I don't cry foul. As long as the recording industry doesn't give special attention to the people who run the networks, I'm ok.
What, pray tell, do you find an acceptable course of action for the RIAA? They are, at the end of the day, merely doing everything in their power to protect their property, their business, and their livelihood.
Offer ways to legally obtain music online (especially titles that are hard to find--many people who infringe copyrights only do so because they can't find legitimate copies of the music they like), and don't overprice CDs. If CDs were cheaper (the recent price cut by _one_ of the _five_ major labels is a step in the right direction, but a bigger step needs to be made), I might consider buying one or two. Finally, they should stop abusing their monopoly--it may not be good in the short term, but it will be better in the long run, as they won't be eventually disbanded.
The ToS is a form of contract, and no contract between two parties can modify the rights of third parties. The contract only indemnifies the ISP if the customer violates a law/commits a tort. The ToS may place some blame on the customer who manages the router, but only for being an irresponsible network admin.
This isn't directly related to viruses, but Resnet at OSU seems to have some incompetence problems of its own. Try going to their website in Mozilla or Mozilla Firebird.
A better analogy would be if airport security doesn't let him through he will find other means of transportation, and expect a refund on services not rendered by the airline.
You can always BCC yourself, and then filters will apply to outgoing messages. I remember Mozilla allowed you to BCC yourself by default, but I'm looking for the option in Thunderbird--I don't think there's a GUI.
The concept for this car is pretty cool, but there's just something I like about riding in a converted WWII amphibious assault vehicle. They're for different markets, but I'd prefer the "Ducks" to this car.
I am. I think instead of blocking referrals on a case-by-case basis, it's easier to right-click the link, select Copy Link Location, and paste it in the address bar.
I was going for Funny, and I said that because the parent mentioned class A, class B and class C networks. 127.0.0.1 is a way for a single machine to network with itself, and since all the numbers are constant, it would seem to be class D.
Believe it or not, some cars that are not exactly alike may look alike. If a FedEx truck was painted brown and a UPS logo was stuck on it, I doubt I could tell the difference.
Wouldn't SCO USA and SCO Germany both be owned by SCO Int'l or something? It seems that there has to be a legal link between the two that incorporates them into one, or SCO Germany could start selling Caldera again as SCO USA says Linux is evil.
I would assume part of this is the fact that Canada's urban areas contain a greater portion of the population than in the United States. Part of it could also deal with how Canada treats cable and phone providers--the only option I have in broadband is RoadRunner, and I didn't have it until last year (and I live in an area recently reclassified as urban). If competing providers had been able to provide access, it might have come earlier.
OpenOffice and StarOffice have similar user interfaces and features, but they are not the same. The difference is roughly comparable to Netscape and Mozilla.
I simply see a button with title "Export as PDF". I can't go to File | Save As to save as PDF. Also, I can't open PDFs. And I'm using OOo1.1rc3. But it's real useful to have that button--I just keep a copy of the SXW file around, and make changes to it, then export it.
And the reason MS doesn't want PDF support is most likely that the PDF specification is open, and thus it is an evil file format.
He could authorize the buyer's Mac to read the file, but that's not the point. The buyer paid the full price for the song (and then some--it's currently at $320.69)--should he not also have the right to authorize three computers that he owns to listen to it?
It still seems that Microsoft would want the servers they produce to be able to handle DDoS attackes, but I guess microsoft.com is a bigger target for DDoS attacks than just about any other site.
It also seems like MS would be able to pressure Akamai into using Windows servers, but I guess MS wants results.
And I meant to include this in my first reply to you, but I did notice that it was IIS under Linux. At first I thought it had something to do with Services For Unix, but I guess I didn't completely think it through.
A) It's an online matter, so that makes a huge difference, I'm refering to only solo play.
I guess the way to avoid those problems is to have a nearly non-existant first person mode. I prefer well done multiplayer and single-player, but I realize nobody pirates Tribes 2 for the single-player missions.
B) Tribes 2 is cracked, I know because I have a cracked copy I obtained a few weeks ago when my brother destroyed my original since I wouldn't ever give up playing to let him play. (It didn't occur to me until afterwards that I could use my old information (hey, I was extremely pissed and not thinking straight), but after I realized that I stopped using my illegal information, so for all I know it may have been tracked down over time)
Well, I looked once just to see if there were cracked copies and couldn't find any. Then again, I wasn't really motivated to find a cracked copy.
C) You can still easily use cracked copies in LAN parties.
Hell, just install the same disc on every PC at the LAN party.
I may be wrong, but as long as SCO has a German office (which I would assume they do if they have a.de domain name) and does business in Germany, and they continue to disobey the junction by way of press releases that are available for Germans to read, they should be fined.
Of course, I don't know anything about Germany's legal system.

Before you post something about them not abiding by the GPL by charging for their software, I suggest you read the GPL FAQ.
Then, just to cover your ass, your ToS should indemnify yourself. I honestly don't know if you need to (your ass might already be covered), as IANAL.
The driver may get fined for allowing it to happen, but the driver will not get charged with public indecency.

There's a bug, but it doesn't seem to get much traffic. Remember, bugzilla doesn't take referrals from slashdot.
I guess it depends on the wording of the iTunes license agreement, which I have not read.
There's one D class "network" as well: 127.0.0.1

So MS doesn't trust their own proxy servers? (Assuming there are Windows proxy servers--not something I keep up on.)
Hence the "+1 Funny" mods instead of "+1 Insightful" mods.
