Google and China can *never* filter out the truth completely. Meanwhile, scientists and other bussiness persons in China can work with the rest of the world, letting rights trickle in one research paper at a time.
This actually happened during my software engineerring class one day. We were working on our software eng project using the domain name myslo.com and someone instead typed in mysol.com. Amusing as hell.
Of course, it's college... and everyone had a good laugh...
The best qoute from that quarter, from my professor: "I only visit porn sites to make sure that they are within the law." Yeah right;) I eat dog. Free DVDs. Horray!
I will use this opportunity to plug the CueCat mirror list, to which your mirror should be added if you are concerned about the right to reverse engineer.
My friend and I used to build Lego "Rocket Sleds"... we used to build up this lego device which would contain a model rocket engine. We then stuck a playing card on the bottom of the sled so that it would slide easily across the snow.
They never worked quite right, mostly becuase the snow was fairly uneven and they would bounce up and then shoot off into wierd directions.
We also built Lego rocket cars, which worked a little bit better when there was a good concrete surface.
I remember never having the right tools to ignite those damn rockets... We ended up dousing the things with lots of lighter fluid or sticking tons of matches in the exhuast of the rocket engines. Hmm, I'm a pyro... I eat dog. Free DVDs. Horray!
I was not able to find any information on an possible affiation microsoft has with the Human Genome project. I searched Microsoft, Google, and a human genome site.
Please, moderators, verify this before you mark it down. He may be right (In fact, the post was well worded enough so that there's a good chance of it) He/She did not include a link, so there's no harm in leaving his comment open to debate right now.
I'm just afriad of knee-jerk moderation.
A) Browse at -1 when moderating B) Moderate up more than down. C) Comments which are critical of common slashdot views are often more valuable to the discussion than the standard/. responce.
I wish I was a moderator right now so I could return his comment to the standard discussion.
Michael Robertson originally registered mp3.com becuase it was a very popular search term. He started out with the domain as a squatter. Since then however, he has taken the domain and created something really useful. Now domain registering is a first-come first serve basis, and domain squatters often take advantage of this. Michael, however, has turned something which we all tend to look down upon and actually inovated. So before you guys go beat him like a little girly man, remember that his domain squatting eventually transelated into inovation. I eat dog. Free DVDs. Horray!
While I do agree that naptster was banned form universities becuase it hugs bandwidth, the fact is that the DMCA is a way for an organized and well funded group to get what they want from consumers (See CSS and the way it keeps UK DVD Drives pricey).
The creation of and subsequent prosecution of the poeple involved with DeCSS has *nothing* todo with copy protection. It has to do with control. Control over distribution, creation, and use of various media. It may not be a conspiracy. I mean we all know what the MPAA really wants ($$) but it leads to the limitation of our music, video, and written choices.
As a guy involved in the DVD issue, I've found out the hard way that the DMCA is of direct relavance to me and everyone else who is interested in opensource / reverse engineering/ free speech.
The more interesting parts (for me, at least) of the DMCA are those dealing with the legality of access control measures. This part of the DMCA basically makes it illegal to distribute any software or hardware device which overides some access control measure designed to protect copyrighted works. This type of law does nothing to prevent piracy, bits can be copyed just as easily. What it does do is limit poeple's ability to use *legal* copyrighted works in any way they choose (such as in OS Linux players).
Katz kind of dropped in the DeCSS example at the end with out explaining the legal foundation for it. The DMCA is so broad, however, that it would be difficult to cover it all.
Maybe what they need to do in thier class is write *Documentation* (gasp!!) for the Linux kernel. Or at least those parts that haven't made it into some book yet. The linux kernel is constantly under development, I'm sure there's always something new to document here and there. And it sure would be useful.
Yes, I remember this. It came with Personal Netware. It was the first game I played over ether! Is there a linux port anywhere? I suppose I could just run it under dosemu, but dang, I loved that game.
in my apartment. I don't want my roommates tying up the DSL with thier sick sick rapping music. I much prefer polka.
I also ban porn sites. This is a masturbation-free apartment. I have a web cam in one room, and I plan to add more to all of the other rooms to keep them honest about their masturbation.
Everynight I ask them, "Did you masturbate today? Could you turn down that filth?" and then they beat me, but I think I made my point.
I'm happy that I control the throttle to their internet access. It means that we get 150k-bytes to all that is holy, and 0k-bytes to all that is sinful and evil. Our apartment is truely becoming a lovely place to live.
It's stupid, yes. The only thing I can point to is that DeCSS *does* attact a lot of visitors to your site.
Most likely they are banning DeCSS not becuase of bandwdith, but to limit the colleges liability in the DeCSS trials.
My copy of DeCSS is (was, actually, I'm a defendant) located on *my* web server, not my college web site. CalPoly would be seriously pissed at me if they were caught anywhere near a legal battle cuased by DeCSS.
Microsoft did not orchestrate the ddos attacks. That idea is complete lunacy. They may play real dirty in bussiness, but they wouldn't risk thier entire bussiness on some cheap illegal trick to turn heads away from Linux. Ugg... the lunacy.
It is our fault to some extent, RedHat and other distros should not open up 500 services by default and we should educate more poeple on *basic* security precuations.
came preinstalled on my aunts iMac. She's a teacher in Seattle and she got the iMac through an educational discount. Unfortunatly, this software did not come with any password or information on how to remove it. Maybe they thought the computer would go straight into a class room, or maybe they just think no teacher should be learning about boobies (the bird). Either way, it became a pain to track down the password that would finally let us visit www.apple.com (I think I finally reached it through a proxy server).
I'm all for emotions. I enjoy them on a regular basis, but they don't belong in the library, or on my aunts computer.. at least not other poeple's emotions.
From the second letter they (as in the DVD-CCA) sent me:
"The Court denied DVD CCA's application for a TRO and set a date for the preliminary injunction hearing on January 14, 2000 at 1:30 p.m. The address of the Court is 191 North First Street, San Jose, California."
Of course, this is actually January 18th at 1:30pm (The judge had some sort of scheduling conflict on friday).
I'm the third defendant in the case. I *have* to appear becuase I live in California. I just wanted to say that I would really be grateful to the open source community if poeple made a good show of it.
I think we have a very strong case here. A reaffirmation of the first amendment and a good pounding out of internet law. I think the precidences set by winning a case like this will be beneficial to all of us.
On thing though... I jokingly mentioned to other defendants that I might attend this trial in a Metalica T-shirt with spiked up hair. That's what we call a bad idea. It's dress up day. We all need to look, hrmm, somewhat "professional". Remember, we're talking to a bunch of suits here.
Please, come if you can. Your presence will be felt by the judge, the plaintif, and us frightened (angry?) defendants. Hopefully we can really change some attitudes about open source here.
It used to be that a cracker was some white poor person living in the south. This is no more. Now it's used among the geek community as a term for a Techno-ish Criminal! Hicks can no longer hold thier heads high... *sniff*
I did not expect to see such hate filled comments on an article about bandwidth. I mean sheesh, make due with what you have! If you can get something better, do, but don't get sore about other poeples fortune.

Sorry, horrifically bad joke, but I wish kids would make more lego machine guns than play with real ones.
