They're looking for trolls using proxies. They only test for your first post with a new dynamic IP address. I have a nice ST:TNG theme of sound effects when they hit those ports in a row.
The original port is there, but I notice that the coverage of the rest of the thread is pretty spotty on Google Groups. (Even allowing for their feature that changing the subject of a post will de-thread a post.) Possibly some of the posters used x-no-archive?
Lately I've been noticing that Google drops a lot of posts. There have been a few cases where repeated posts of the same content by different people from different news servers (after the first failed) haven't propagated to Google. Definitely nothing horrible about the text, no x-no-archive: yes, and not BI >= 20. Sometimes chopping the text in two and posting seperately will result in one half not making it to Google (but everywhere else fine).
I haven't pinned down the weirdness yet, but people who still use Usenet and think of Google as the definitive archive might want to keep an eye on this.
(It was not until much later, when talking to Jeff on the MacWorld show floor, that he expressed some pain over our "if you're using SoundJam" web page. "In fact, that page," he admitted, "was the only reason we copied your alpha channel stuff!")
See? Just do better than them and keep your mouth shut.
It could be worse. I did a trivial app using one company's object library on top on.NET. The trival app produced a 1.6MB exe and dynamically linked to the moby.NET runtime.
I miss the days when linkers could drop unused object files or even by function. Perhaps OOP languages make it harder to do that, but it would be nice if more work was done on that rather than assuming that all computers will be larger/faster in a few months.
So, did Julio and Augusto steal their months off the end of the year, or did they originally start the year in March? (Considering the bitching about a few days during the Gregorian switch, I'm surprised that even an Emperor could pull it off without major riots. [or has that just slipped out of history?])
We used to have metric months, but then Augustus and Julius got too big for their britches and bumped September, October, November, December down two to make room for their months. It amkes the names pretty silly since they're just the month numbers.
While it is important, I think you're giving the Model Railway club way too much credit. That's like saying that my fridge is the source of all fungus--no, just a place where the conditions were right for some to form.
And getting your feet wet with radio/computers doesn't even require a licence. A scanner, sound card and some software will let you play with neat digital stuff like ACARS Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System, which lets you do stuff like a real-time map display of airplanes near you. other link. (Perhaps not as spiff as this one.) There's other telemetery besides position and speed, so it could make a cool wall display--with no bandwidth suck.
Does Radio Shack still sell soldering irons? The last time I looked most of the stuff I used to get there like wire-wrap and cases had all but disappeared.
Back in university ('81), hanging around VE2CUA was the best place to catch the overlap between the hams and hackers--especially packet radio since a number of the pioneers (VE2PY) hung out there from time to time. What I learned about data packets came in quite useful later. (And watching "live" Slow Scan TV Voyager pictures from Saturn via JPL was pretty cool pre-Internet.)
The name of a person charged with a criminal offence is a matter of public record. (Except when it's not released to protect minors involved in the case.) The time to get nervous is when names, charges and trials are kept secret.
And I doubt too many people will be forming a lynch mob over Windows source code.
Slashdot Mirror
Okay, let's put it to a real test. Post some good pr0n links and we'll try to slashdot them!

Want sound effects for ZoneAlarm? (Shameless plug.)
Oh sure, self-slashdot my local web server. (Depending on the OS, 0.0.0.0 will null-route completely.)
I guess we now know what the 'Plus' part is. :)

And what do you do with the /. hardcopy when you're .. done?
I guess the R2D2 has the recipe for the Death Soufflé.
Try them all and go for Worked All Appliances! (Maybe the printer could do the QSL cards?)

The death-match comes later with the lawyerbots in cybercourt. Judge WOPR presiding.

It would certainly make a game of wool sweater Twister more interesting!

Bwahaha! They stopped asking for names a least a couple years ago. When did you last need a spool of wire? :)
If the network connection goes down, does it start calling CQ? (If it had an IR port, maybe it could get the HP printer to relay...)

I didn't get the memo. When did the split occur?

The HR chipmunk is going to look at your résumé and toss it because it doesn't say Open Source.
