We get about 3-4 of these a day, roughly 1 per thousand accounts. It has gotten to the point were you have to review them, to live up to your end of the law.
Doesn't the law provide for remuneration ? Something similar has started to happen in Denmark. But the large ISP's have said "Sure we'll, find the information for you - if you have a warrant. We charge x amounts pr hour to do this" - of course "the other side" are annoyed and think the ISPs should help them for free. But the ISP's say they can't they would loose money on doing work for free. And the law backs them on this.
Having been on the recieving end of such treatment, our founding fathers decided that government should only tackle the bleedingly obvious problems. You can't put someone away for what the might do, only what they have done, or were in the process of doing.
Of course that has been changed long since. Now you readily invade other countries based on some unprovable excuse, because they *might* do something.
Star Trek: The Next Generation got a whole lot better around season 3, when Roddenberry pretty much lost control of the show and let Berman take over.
The troll says, overlooking that for most of season two there was a writers strike. Since you also have no idea of how television is made, we must point out that nobody ever claimed that Roddenberry wrote everything, nor that he was a good writer. But he had a good and popular look (what some call a "vision", perhaps that is what provokes you) - he told Berman how the universe was supposed to be, gave him some rules - and Berman mostly followed them in TNG (but most writers hated them), Berman always pretended to accept it but he probably didn't and as soon as he could he started to distance himself from it and pretended that all was great (like doing an "Aids" metaphor about 10 years too late is somehow ooh so great).
Remember that "Bones with tits" season-2 doctor? That was a direct result of Roddenberry insisting that Dr. Crusher be written out.
He didn't insist she be written out. Lying on your part. The studio didn't think she had the right "chemistry".
He made a lot of those kinds of bad decisions, and the show was better off without his input.
That's an opinion, another is that its because of him the show became a success, because they followed his directions, his lifeview for their universe. Although ratings say nothing about quality, their constant decline since TNG ended seems to suggest a lot of people agree with his "vision" (even though you disagree with a better future for mankind).
When I hear people talk about "the spirit of Gene Roddenberry" in a Star Trek project, I usually think "oh, you mean this one is a heavy-handed and preachy humanist morality play that insults our capacity for reason?"
Probably because you are a mean spirited little person who are just envious that you aren't famous.
Enterprise and Voyager sucked due to piss-poor writing and a lack of fresh ideas, not because they somehow strayed from the Roddenberry fold.
Your use of the word "somehow" shows you are not competent on the topic of StarTrek - of course since you just loathe Roddenberry that's hardly surprising. Those two shows very much "strayed" from the concept, much of it wasn't StarTrek at all, this is undoubtedly caused a lot of people to tune out (especially people with some kind of mental maturity) - though you are right the writing isn't likely to win many fans.
Of the three post-TNG shows, Deep Space Nine was the farthest from Roddenberry's vision,
You got that right - But...and it's not only the only watchable show of the three, but it was often better than TNG.
Is again your opinion, and DS9 had much lower ratings than TNG. If they wanted to make another show they should have gone and done that instead of making something that wasn't StarTrek - drowes of fans left then and didn't look back.
I think the movie failed simply due to horrible timing.
I think it failed because of lousy story telling which had nothing to do about StarTrek - Roddenberry didn't want to have shows about space battles, he wanted stories about the human condition (you know, the kind of stories that adults like but the kids hate). Berman has forgotte that he doesn't know shit about Star Trek and forgot that all he ever knew about Star Trek Gene Roddenberry told him.
They would have made piles of money that way. What the fuck were they thinking?
They had the blueprint for a universe that millons of people loved to visit - but they started to move away from that, simply because the people involved didn't like it and didn't believe in it - and woops went the money - what the hell were they thinking?
It boggles my mind to think that these kids got into a university and don't understand that downloading the new N'sync album before it's on store shelves is illegal. Theft is theft, no matter who you're screwing over,...
That depends on where you are in the world. In most places Theft is legally defined as taking something which has physical substance. So downlading an mp3 is not stealing, since you are not talking something from someone else - its copyright infringement - of course local laws may vary.
Its possible its just kids in the US, but in Europe is many adults as well. With emphasis on MANY - the time may come when the lawgivers are forced to accept that the times have changed.
In a civilized world, ordinary people do not run around with guns, on matter how frightened or nuts they are: The army and the Police do, because even in a civilized country it is realised that one has to make a choice between what is destroyed when something must be destroyed (kill in a war, shoot terrorist etc) A gun is made to destroy things. That some immature adults thinks its fun to play with weapons doesn't change the fact that it is designed to destroy, and undelines the fact that such people shouldn't be allowed to use such things, simply because they want to.
To say that a loaded gun is less dangerous than a fueled-up car is the kind of fanatical nonsense which not only flies in the face of statistics
from other countries, but generally cause saner heads to press for laws to restrict this.
I'm surprised the message got moderated up so much, there are many things which are a given for the slashdot populace, but that there was so many gunfreaks here was a surprise to me.
The reason it gets translated to "Man is a strange animal", is because in english "man" also has the meaning of "humanity"! If more americans had been to school perhaps we StarTrek wouldn't have had to change it to "where no one" has gone before...
Since we are in a demoted line, i thought write down the thought that came to me; in Asimovs Foundation, in what i think was the second part, the title is "The Rise of The Merchant Princes"
And it wasn't even bad:)
Look around you, I see people everyday day who don't know a damn thing about computers. Who are bloody stupid when it comes to computers and are likely to remain so, because it seems the mass at large do not WANT to know about them. It's a tool for them that should just work.
So there are many areas where it could be usefull...IF the technology is good enough, and good enough is almost at the level of StarTrek - so we are a few years off.
The big challenge here is not so much the actual recognition, but the parsing - you have to be able to format highlevel queries for it to be of use
"Computer, show me a list of slashdot articles which includes the phrase ''I love pizza'' and where written this month"
"Computer, if we close the Lockheed branch how will it affect next years production of widgets"
"computer, record all episodes of StarTrek, that's wednesdays at 7 on channel 8. Keep doing this until i tell you to stop. Tell me when you need a new tape. And remember to edit out the commercials"
Programming is unlikely to benefit from this in the short term, because clearly it would be faster (for those of us who use all our fingers in the typing phase:) to type it in - but the day may come where programming takes place at such a high level that one is manipulating large data abstraction modules, rather than "Goto oops"
This flaw is not relegated to Outlook only - any email client which uses the IE engine to display HTML content (Eudora is one such mail client) leaves the door open for this exploit
Two points: If you had read any of this, you would know that the problem is in the transport mechanism of Outlook (the components) - NOT the displaying of the text. Eudora uses its own system for that. Eudora CAN (in the later versions) use the MSIE engine to display message (for the extended HTML parsing), but it doesn't HAVE to do this, its a feature users can set as they please.
