Who cares about the MPAA? their using the DMCA to shield themselves from having to deal with the issue that they should not be the people who decide who gets to play DVD's and who doesnt. I own an APEX, so at first i thought 'this doesnt concern me' but when they sued 2600, they went way too far...anyone who is reading this and agrees with me needs to go to 2600.com, get some "STOP THE MPAA" stickers, and plaster them all over your local movie theater! the MPAA is wrong on this one.....I cant believe that they sued 2600 just for linking to DeCSS! I'll tell you what... if you dont have DeCSS, send E-Mail to Netranger9@aol.com, and I'll have NetBoy mail u a copy! Fight the MPAA!!!
Actually, the look and feel of KDE 2.0 will be much more like winblows. no more mac style toggles on the directory tree, thank god:) but the coolest thing for me will be the new laptop support features (KDE has always run fine on laptops once you get past the nasty X configurations) PCMCIA support, as well as the ability for KDE to monitor a laptops battery are a breath of fresh air
Thats the thing about the underground, as soon as normal people find out about it, it ceases to be part of the underground...corporations and government have tried to quantify and manipulate the underground, only to find that this is impossible because it changes so rapidly. Its just like hacking. its not something you do, its who you are, a way of life and a state of mind. we will always be one step ahead because of it. when the media and the mainstream public find out about something that is popular with the underground, its already old hat to us, and we've tired with it and are moving on to something else...
