  1. Mosaic *HAD* a stop button... on Mozilla Rising ... As A Platform · · Score: 2

    In Mosaic, you clicked the "throbber" (Mosaic's logo) for stop.

    I remember using Netscape 0.9 and kept clicking the logo for 'stop' and being continuously bounced to Netscape's web page. I found that quite annoying and counter-intuitive at the time. heh.

  2. Re:mechanics of anonymous million dollar transfers on Million-Dollar Donation To Fight Abusive Copyrights · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The university knows. There is probably a contract that states the benefactor shall remain anonymous.

  3. Re:Maybe it's a good thing. on Adobe Gets Hit By DMCA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Perhaps, but what will probably happen is the law will be modified to allow Adobe, et al. to do what they want, but still eliminate, de facto, our fair use rights.

  4. Mozilla/OEone is working on it... on Can We Finally Ditch Exchange? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    OEone and Mozilla are working on an Open Source calendar server. Support it!

  5. Re:What does that look like on your CV? on ATI Releases Competition for NVIDIA's Cg · · Score: 2

    Personally, I don't like the word "Monkey" to appear anywhere on my resume.

  6. EM Effects on NASA Plan to Read Brainwaves at Airports · · Score: 2, Interesting

    With metal detectors, geiger counters, bomb sniffing equipment, brain and heart rate scanners, not to mention the radar, radios, cell phones, computers, flourecent lighting, etc.

    How long will it be before all of the EM radiation converges and produces some kind of secondary effect, say like a worm hole or quantum singularity, or maybe fusion?

  7. WHOA! Stop right there... on NASA Plan to Read Brainwaves at Airports · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is where we need a very quick temporary restraining order and get this nipped in the bud right now.

    There is NO WAY users of an airport have to submit to a passive medical scan prior to borading a plane.

    Even under an expected diminished privacy defense, this isn't even close to legal.

  8. Re:Speaking of Jon Katz... on Schneier et al Report PGP Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    He has been spending that time reading everyones' email...

  9. Re:An old poke at physicists. on Speed of Light Inconstant? · · Score: 1

    There was a long running thread on this joke on the GIMPS mailing list...

  10. Re:Implications on Turns out, Primes are in P · · Score: 1

    Got a proof for this?

  11. Re:My favorite post on 1985 Usenet About Y2k · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People are laughing now.

  12. Countersue on Australian Spammer Sues Back · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think this guy should counter-sue. Now that news of this suit has reached /., his site is now unreachable. Thus creating a DDoS.

    This DDoS was created as a direct result of the lawsuit being filed.

  13. ASCAP/BMI style on Kazaa, Verizon Propose Compulsory Music Licensing · · Score: 1

    This should be done ASCAP/BMI style... All internet users pay a fee that is pooled, then the P2P client creators find some way to collect transfer statistics in a privacy-friendly manner, then distribute the funds based on "Internet Playtime".

    I would be all for this if it would wipe out all the crap lawsuits.

  14. DVB Systems in US? on PVR For Linux · · Score: 1

    Anyone know which cable/satellite companies are running DVB compatible service?

  15. Re:Who cares? on Napster Finally Gets a Break · · Score: 1

    Your missing the point...

    This could break their copyright.

    If they can't prove they own the music or prove they didn't create an illegal monopoly with it, how can they sue ANYBODY for the use of "thier" music?

  16. Re:This has to be illegal on Is Comcast Intercepting Packets? · · Score: 1

    Actually, this is not illegal. It has to do with who owns the lines. They can't use any information collected in a court of law, but they can record packets traversing their own network.

    If you want them to stop, get a law passed.

  17. Libery or Repression. on Future Pocket P2P - Discreet Data Sharing? · · Score: 1
    Are we living in the ten-year bubble before the collapse of entertainment media copy prevention?


    Yea, that or the total ban on any non-government controlled electronic devices.
  18. Re:Russian Law on ElcomSoft Files For Dismissal Of E-Book Case · · Score: 1

    Well... They passed the DMCA, the Constitution didn't seem to stop that...

  19. Resolution 800x600 on Next Generation Xybernaut Wearable · · Score: 1

    The Website says 800x600 for resolution, not 640x480 as the article suggests.

  20. PDF? on RMS: Putting an End to Word Attachments · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Isn't PDF a secret format too, eventhough there are readers for linux?

  21. Hayward, CA... Dead on Most @Home Customers Still Connected -- For Now · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I had AT&T Broadband, and now it is dead. They called and said it would be two weeks, but that I would get 2 days credit for every day the service is interrupted.

    If they honor that, I'd say that's pretty fair.

  22. formmail.pl on Slashback: Dell, 800, Disclosure · · Score: 1

    I get a lot of hits to formmail.pl (I don't have it installed, it just 404s). I found out that there is a bug in some versions that spammers can exploit to send spam.

    Anyone out there have a good script to put in place of formmail that can do some "interesting" things?

  23. Re:Samba project not hurt, but not helped on MS Settlement: Six States (And Samba) Say "Stop!" · · Score: 1

    Samba, an unrelated 3rd party?

    Samba is a competitor. Used and, in part, written by the citizens of the US. They have suffered greatly by undocumented protocols. They are hardly unrelated.

  24. Vote. on W3C's RAND Point Man Responds · · Score: 2, Interesting
    In early October we announced that we have invited Bruce Perens (OSI co-founder) and Eben Moglen (FSF General Counsel) to join the Patent Policy Working Group as 'invited experts' with full participation privileges.
    Do they have a vote on the committee?
  25. Re:Dosen't matter, Microsoft lost their Copyright. on Microsoft Shuts Auction Doors On Old Windows · · Score: 1

    The trial is ongoing, but only the penalty phase. The Supreme Court has already denied cert on an appeal for the findings of fact and law.

    I am still looking for a relevent case, but read this and connect the dots:
