If I sounded offening, please excuse me, wasn't intended.
But I thought you saw this on the web. (hehe.. i know cnn only from the web. don't have a tv set)
Have a nice day,

Certainly this is fuckingly annoying and not very tasteful.
But you have to imagine how these people were educated, what they went through..
To not become very radical in this situation must be awfully hard if not impossible!
I don't want to defend the terrorists - no way. I don't want these people to go on partying and dacning about the thousands of killed - no way.
But I do defend these dancing and partying people a little bit. Oppression over a long period of time can drive people crazy!
J.
No, this only will other countries and specially their citiziens only more angry about the US. And terrorists will always find ways to "do their job" just as cracker will always find a way into some system.
J.
Please don't get rassistic of all this. Please notice that this isn't an act of "the Palestinians" or something like this.
This is the act of a bunch of mad people. Even if the percantage of mad persons might be higher in some peoples - it wasn't a people who did this.
Please keep that in mind.
Thanks.

.. it's a nice article, yea. And probably most of it is true.
But i always ask myself whether we need to conquer the market, if we need to build things the managers like. Or if we want to make things _we_ like.
I mean - whatfor does the world (including managers, they just dont know it:) need web applications and web services and all this crap?? Does it increase productivity? I dont believe this. I dont believe at all that computers have been necessaery in the first point. Yea, now they are, cause we integrated them into our lifes. But i think mostly they are just for fun.
So let's write applications for fun - not for managers!

In my experience pngs have larger file sizes most of the time.
Perhaps this is not a matter of the file format but of the programs i use(d). Nevertheless it's an important issue - even if the format is cool, there have to be many programs which use this coolness..
J.
nanana, come on.
I wrote something like most of the people still arrested arent the ones who burn cars and so on. I know them a little bit, most of them come from the city where i live, ok?
Moreover it was more the case that the police - our nice and good helper - hospitalized peaceful people who showed their concerns about this conference, about globalization, whatever, ask them. They provoked people, they hurted people physically and mentally, they destroyed the GSF headquarter.
Additionally these "violent morons" as you call them never said they want to protect your rights. Never ever. Probably cause nobody wants to protect anything from you.
J.
hey, an article in the NY Times isnt that bad, isnt it?
Here in Europe there around still around 25 or more people arrested for making culture, for protesting against capitalism. And most of the arent the big big mad bad "Black Block". They are persons expressing their opinions about globalization in a creative way.
I dont say that it is right what happens in the US with this Russiun guy. But it is a fact that this isnt such a very very big event.
J.
And if i write a nice disclaimer somewhere on my site which explicitly disallows this, are they still allowed to "change my site"?
Oh, i am sure MS has a horde of lawyers...
J.
IMO you miss the point here.
i think the main issue here is that if it was open-sourced you could easily changed the installation procedure which is maybe impossible in this case of it is closed source.
J.
Never found this on cddb. Same CDs are twice in the database with slightly different names, tracks are named incorrect and so on.
i admit it isnt easy to keep a big database really accurate when every in the world can submit entries. But they shouldnt be pride on this, because it is a fact the data is _not_ accurate.
J.
thats plain stupid. on 02.12.1942 the first artificial chain reaction started in Chicago in a reactor built by Fermi. the bombs were built in 44/45. Thw whole things was theoretically dicovered around 40.
afilias.info works already for many weeks. Not new. J.

And what about a link to the CNN interview? Or isn't it on the web? J.
The problem with google is that it caches only the front page. Or at least it doesn't change the links. That's an annoyance. J.
Where did you get the CF-IDE-adaptor? I am still searching for a cheap adaptor if posible available in Europe. Thanks J.

I found this as original some weeks ago.

So this would be a good reason for governments to fund the development of open source applications.
Hopefully they'll do..
J.
.. i had this problems..
I write quite much email (not only crap. Sure, also crap, but mainly nice mails) and don't get enough mails. Never.

I seriously doubt that you mean to accuse RMS of being a homosexual
You cant accuse someone for beeing homosexual as it isnt a crime.

once again: according to Darren it was just a license clarification and not a change.

2) Most Slashdot users use Internet Explorer
Do they? Really? I really didnt thought this.. do you have some statistics about this?
J.

According to www.deadly.org it is still in the current (2.9) OpenBSD release.

what about doing the whole thing in a chroot environment and then comparing it with the "original" tree?
Just my 0.02 euros..

What about a multiplayer version of colonization? THIS was the best game ever written..
