  1. Shocker!some people can read but you can't. on WindRiver Will Not Keep Slackware · · Score: 1

    Slackware makes a profit! You really should research stuff before making an ass out of yourself.

  2. Re:how to program? on Linux + Ipaq + MIT = Project Mercury · · Score: 1

    Maybe openwave.com? They have a nice mobile phone emulator. I don't know if this is the type of experimenting you want to do though.

    Try this link.

  4. Mastercard sued Ralph Nader over this and lost on Rec.humor.funny Threatened by MasterCard · · Score: 2

    Mastercard sued Ralph Nader for a commercial that he made for the 2000 presidential election with the same theme. If I remember correctly, as soon as it hit the court the judge threw the lawsuit out.

  5. Re:Here's exactly how he was disruptive on Free Republic v. Aldridge · · Score: 1

    If he has port 80 open with a webserver the owner of freerepublic has put the site into the public domain. Basically their lawsuit is a pile of abstract BS meant to harass someone expressing themselves freely.

  7. Re:How many Slashdotters are farmers? on Can I See Your License for those Plants, Sir? · · Score: 1

    For thousands of years plants have been common property that have grown freely across the earth. Controlling pollination etc is nearly impossible.
    This is just plain wrong.
    And yes my family and I have been involved in farming plant cultivation for generations.

  8. Re:AT&T on Northpoint Points South · · Score: 1

    AT & T is probably using this to strongarm Northpoint DSL users into singing up for cable.

  9. Re:AdCops.com site not even secure! on Day In The Life Of Net Scam Artists · · Score: 1

    I think Adcops is the real scam. I checked out their weak site and it looks ridiculous. They ask people to report people on their site and the like. What if the person reporting is lying. It looks like they have absolutely no expertise in the area of security and technology.

  10. Re:Speaking about Tucows... on EvansData can't tell BSD from Linux · · Score: 1

    I noticed the same thing. Good, concise info easy access to downloads, et al..
    Looks like they are doing it right this time.

    Each node in the cluster runs Linux and Unicos coordinates the nodes.

  12. How long have you worked for the RIAA? on Coming Soon: Burn-Proof CDs · · Score: 1

    I hope they are paying you well to aid them in destroying our freedom.

    Well RIAA corporate lackey Here is message for you and your employers:
    Don't tread on me.

  14. Re:Basic information Theory on Coming Soon: Burn-Proof CDs · · Score: 1

    Yep, Line out of the mixer/amp/cd player into line in on the sound card. It's that simple. Unless a lawyer from the RIAA like Carey Sherman says the DMCA considers this arrangement of home electronics a "copy circumvention device".
    All I can say about the engineers working on these projects to prevent the copying of cd's is: WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND TALENT.

    -- A message to the RIAA and MPAA Don't tread on me.

    Oh and thats why the WWW, HTML TCP/IP, Apache. PERL
    FreeBsd, Linux etc... are so unsuccesful because people a can examine and improve on the code?
    Who cares if Stephen King writes novels? A person who creates will create regardless of whether they profit or not( AS i do i make music). Creativity is part of human nature and profiting from ones creativity is sometimes a pleasant byproduct of creating not the aim of creation. By you definition most of the great works of art literature and science would never have been created and shared because the innovator, discoverer, inventor , creator would not profit and was fearful of plagarism. This premise is as absurd as it sounds.

  16. The IWW on The Jungle · · Score: 1

    Check out the IWW. Unions are social constructs that are beneficial to workers as corporations are social constructs that are beneficial to owner/managers. They can embody the characteristics, goals and values that those who form them have. Unions like all constructs can be useful or detrimental. I happen to believe that the existance of unions has advanced society a great deal. This is evidenced by our acceptance of 2 days off a week, payment for overtime, 40 hour work weeks and the fact that child labor is no longer accepted in developed nations.

  17. Re:Why not raise the spiders in seperate areas? on Spidergoats · · Score: 1

    You would not have to milk them all you have to do is allow them grow and kill them for there fluid then use the dead spiders as feed for the new spiders. The scientist's argument was that it would be hard to raise them together because they would eat each other. BTW Insects are not that expensive they can be bred just as easily as other animals. The amount of space they use would be less as well.

  18. Re:environment on Spidergoats · · Score: 1

    Why not grow hemp? It doesnt require a factory and it is environmentally safe.

  19. Why not raise the spiders in seperate areas? on Spidergoats · · Score: 1

    I kept thinking about the scientists comment about the spiders being cannabilistic and that they could not farm their silk because they would kill each other. As a child I would capture black widows and place them in seperate jars so that they would not kill each other. Why hasn't this dawned on these scientist's? Instead they take the complex route and they breed goats with spider genes. Why not farm these spiders seperately? The cost of feeding them would be less then the cost of feeding goats. Another question I have is why did they choose goats?
    Why not farm hemp?

  20. Re:Exactly on Nasty Bad Men Are Using Encryption · · Score: 2

    Actually if you study history a bit you will find that Bin Laden wa probably on our governments payroll. He was instrumental in fighting the Soviets when Afghanistan was fighting the Soviet Union. the U.S armed Bin Laden and other willing takers in their fight against "communism'. I guess now that the Government needs a scapegoat it might as well be Muslim's and Latin Amercian Narco traffickers.

    Who fixes the prices? The corporations that you think are so good. Why do they fix prices? For maximum profit of course. Otherwise I agrre with you. Greed is the cause of the reprehensible behavior in Africa and California, pure and simple.

    Nothing can be defined as strictly left or right anymore. It's impossible pigeon hole people and their philosophies.

  25. Unions.. on Dot-Coms Say 'Unions Not Welcome!' · · Score: 1

    Thanks to unions like the IWW, (an anarcho syndicalist union that people are free to join and leave at anytime) at the turn of the century we all have 2 days off in a week, have 40 hour work weeks and we are not expected to work before the age of 15. If the "free market" capitalists have their way thes and other labor attrocities will increase. Unions are social constructs which can exprees the desires of their constituents very well.As with all social constructs they have negative and positive attributes. I believe that the positives far outweigh the negatives.
