How do we know? I'm sure that there's things being blocked that aren't just child pr0n. Maybe I've tried to look at one... how would I know? Internet sites are quite often just unreachable, never an explanation. Could be down, could be censored...
As a grown man I'm really not happy with this at all.... I wish the government of australia weren't so ignorant, and so up-for-sale-to-the-loudest-whinger.
As others may have pointed out, this is total bull on the part of Sun.
Sun:you can't make java any more! MS:OK. Sun:You're not putting java on your cds, we'll sue! MS:OK. Slashdot:Evil Bill is using old java. It must be a conspiracy!
What's the difference though, if the second is exactly the same?
If you hand me a coin, and i turn my back then hand you another one indistinguishable from the original at any level, is it the same coin? How can you be sure?
FOR FUCK'S SAKE I WANT ANTIALIASING IN MOZILLA!!! It's not that fucking hard!!!!!!!! Konqueror does it. every other fuckin app does it! I'm using Uncle Bill's fonts, why the fuck must it still be ugly?????
That and the fact that no agent in the world is prepared to pay the 5-15% merchant fees on the transaction, so you'll have to pay them up front as well
HAHAHA! Hardly! One buffer overflow and you've got the one thing better than a r00ted box - memory access. Just overwrite the interrupt table, install a virus on int 21h:-)
Stuff it... Legalize weed, and the tobacco companies can get rich(er) selling their waste plant matter at rock-bottom prices to biodiesel manufacturers.
Personally, I love manuals "translated" from chinese/japanese... full of wonderful text.

Why not just encrypt the card number using the user's password as the key? The user's password doesn't have to be stored anywhere except in the user's brain cells
Because: a) users are dumb, making brute-force attacks easy b) it's very easy to discard a lot of incorrect cc details
Well there goes my moderations for this discussion, but here we go....
Am I the only person who thinks in a hundred years people will be having the same conversations about Bill and [Linus|Steve|Richard|Eric], that we're having about Tesla and Edison?
A buck for an mp3? That makes the average 20 song CD cost $20. Wow, I get all that digital goodness and? Nothing
It's not about getting music cheaper you idiot. It's about the artist getting more of the money, and not paying for a $20 cd when you only like 4 of the tracks.
And Super Streetfighter, my god, that game Ruled. but I guess there wouldn't be enough buttons
Super street fighter II is on gba, and I can tell you it's bloody great. Much better than the crappy SNES versions, plays like arcade, but with a few new levels (ken's is cool, guile's is a bit shite)... Highly reccommended.
Slashdot Mirror
Stuff them, release it AC somewhere, post it here, then by the time somebody starts to "cease and desist" it'll be too late.
That's the point I was making. There's no way we can tell if a site is down or it's been censored.

No, but your bird may be illegal under the dmca :)

Of course you can. Come to australia sometime and go to the summernats :)
So you need to do a destructive read. That doesn't mean that a software bug won't cause multiple reproductions of that read state.

I like it. I could make a backup copy of say, Natalie Portman, have my way with her (with hot grits of course), and then replace her with the backup

Hasn't this already been done?
What's so new about it this time?
Although teleportation of light beams could be very very interesting for telecommunication purposes.

nah the most important thing IMHO is

I love slashdot:
"Lucas is a complete moron. Always was and always will be..... We await for Episode III [but it'll suck]"

Can individuals actually *get* a credit limit in the millions of dollars?
Technically, no. You get an unlimited card before you get one limited that high. The highest limited card is probably about a hundred grand...

Well we shouldn't have much trouble with santa clause, but we could be shit outta luck wrt landing a probe on RMS ;-)
...In other news, Richard Stallman and Santa Clause are fat guys with beards.

Nuclear power is an environmentalist's dream. they're just too busy protesting about the word nuclear they don't see it.
That'd only need a beowulf cluster of Y-MPs to run ;-)
