also, sorry about using the word "crappy" 3x in one post, but, really, can you think of a better adjective to describe these kinds of laws that doesn't involve excrement.
If you could wish away one of the several crappy laws that are of concern to the/. crowd, EFF, FSF, etc. which would it be? DMCA? Patriot Act? the Mickey Mouse Copyright Extension? Something Else? And why that one? I guess what I am really asking is: which of these crappy laws past in the last several years do you think is the most damaging?
The "Developer Edition" and "Max Edition" are hacked together from the Personal Edition that Be, Inc. released. They are in violation of the EULA that comes with the Personal Edition, but, since they are not making the people distributing them any money, i imagine Palm, or the remnants of Be, Inc. couldn't care less.

The guy writing the review is a horrible representative of BeOS users, i think. it's my main OS at home, and I have had little teouble with it, ever (the only time i went into Kernel Debug land was when I managed to crash snes9x with a corrupted ROM).
Why do food companies spend all of this time trying to make fake meat that tastes like meat? if you're a vegetarian, then be a vegetarian, eat vegetables, bread, cheese, etc. and forget about tasting meat ever again. if you don't want to eat meat, then don't expect to taste things that taste like meat. it seems like a lot of wasted effort to me.
my girlfriend became a vegetarian becaus she doesn't like the taste of meat; i'm sure she'd rather that researches look for a way to help grow good, tasty fruits and vegetables.
looks like you didn't read the website before posting either:
11th January 2003: ReactOS now has CD Booting and Self-hosting capabilities! The next release, coming before the month is out, will feature: booting from CD and self-hosting (ReactOS can be compiled on ReactOS). For the impatient, see the developer tutorials (under Documents) on how to check out the latest from CVS and compile the source!
That passage infact has to do with the Roman emporer Nero and certain laws he enacted regarding the sale and trade of goods. If you calculate the numerological value of Nero's full name according to numerological practices of the time it adds up to 666.
Even if he is a troll, you didn't really address his main point, which is a valid one. yes, one should be careful and make sure one's systems are secure, but even if you have a system with all the most recent security patches installed, firewalls in place, etc., etc., someone still could break in. you can never, NEVER, have something 100% secure (that's why it's called pretty good privacy, for example, instead of perfect privacy). if someone breaks in and fscks up something, then they ought to be punished (though a LOT of the sentences seem excessive).
I'm really confused by that last part of your post.
what did any of what you quoted have to do with "the liberal left's tired dogma?" in fact, some of the things mentioned are MORE opposed by the left than the right (e.g. genetic modification of plants).
Of course my characterization is flawed. It was oversimplification at its best.;) Of course, what you said holds true for the humanities, too (would not want to write about the influence of, for example, mysticism on Blake's poetry without putting your own spin on it, and would want to avoid repeating something that someone else has said).
in terms of reading what is cited (being an English major and soon to be English teacher, I know somewhat whereof I speak) I'd say the humanities are better on the whole about really reading what they cite. All we have to write about is what we have read. In the sciences one can experiment, test, etc. and write about those results, then go to the published literature for more info. The humanities do not offer that luxury, so to speak.
Just because a film deals with the limits of human knowledge and understanding and how people react to/deal with/fail to deal with it does not make it a sci-fi flick.
for example you could have the central conflict of this story (the Husbands attempt to reconcile his memories of his deceased wife and the limits of what he knew about her) played out in a fantasy setting (a wizard's spell), or maybe a haunted hotel, where the ghosts play the role of the planet. Or you could just play it straight with the husband talking to the wife's best friend, or her really close sister, or something, and still get the theme of the limits of human knowledge as is relevant to this story (the limits of human knowledge qua other humans).
Similarly, Star Wars is not a Sci-Fi flick. The space travel, blasters, and such is just a vehicle (or should be, at any rate) for an archetypal good v. evil story.
Sci-Fi stories, films, etc. deal with the implications of technologies that do not exist, but could exist. By your definition, almost any film, no matter what its subject, would fall under the heading of sci-fi. And just dealing with science does not make something sci-fi either. Obviously, the limits of human understanding probed in Aronfsky's Pi deal with science, but it is not science fiction, and i think most everyone here would agree.
that just like DVD-region encoding and similar BS that this will begin to disappear in a few years, if the standard is to survive.
also, did anyone else notice IBM as one of the companies ultimately behind DVD-audio? Do you think big blue will give linux hackers information on the copy-protection scheme used in DVD-audio as part of their commitement to opensource/free software?
she should have been notifying people that might send her e-mail to send it to an alternate address. if all the e-mail had bounced back instead of going on to her inbox, i imagine the end result would have been the same.
Dr. Katz (no relation, as far as I know, to the Jonathan Katz of slashdot fame[infamy?] though Dr. Katz was named Jonathan, too) which used to air on Comedy Central. Same animation style, some of the same people involved, if I remember correctly.
More projects like this need to come to fruition. especially speculative commercial enterprises looking to make some kind of money off space exploration (like mining the moon or mars or something).
the age of discovery when europeans (for better and worse) started traipsing all over the globe was driven by monetary interests above all else. it's great to do scientific experiments in space, but the prospect of making cold hard cash will get us a colony on the moon much sooner.
They hate america because the american government has done so much harm to the rest of the world in the past 50 years, and it has done so little to help the rest of the world.
brush up on your history. ever hear of the marshall plan? that helped out a few people. others might claim the fall of soviet-style totalitarian communism was a good thing, too. the US also played a central role in starting the IMF, UN, and other such agencies devoted to helping out the rest of the world. furthermore (i can't remember exact numbers, so forgive me) the US spends more on foreign aid than the next 9 richest countries combined.
yeah, the US does so little to help out the rest of the world. the only rue thing in your post is that fuckers like bin-Laden are insane.

The last drug of any significance to come out of a socialist-paradise state was probably LSD.
I thought the US military invented LSD.
I can imagine this tech being great for mid-air and outer space docking situations? is this kind of technology in place for such applications already?

It even looks like a slashdot headline, what with the splalling errors and all.

It's one thing to not read the article, but now we have people who aren't even reading the post about the article. ;)
/. interviewed someone from EFF?
actually though, why hasn't

That's 19 live albums that they have sold. And they still allow taping their shows.
Obviously, not everyone will buy shows off livephish, but some dedicated fans (like my room mate) who want to show support for them probably will.
I tend not to second guess phish, as they are the most successful "jam band" around; they seem to know what they are doing.

these actually existed. here's a link to cnt_id=2283&FOLDERfolder_id=2279">a photo of one. This was actually on slash dot, not too long ago.
