So there's this group of hackers creating cool pieces of free software while being condoned and payed by AOL. So if this is true, then this is AOL actually doing a good thing. First, that can't be true. Second, what's it doing on Slashdot? Don't tell me the discussion on journalistic integrity is going to affect you people?!?
It is the end of The Dot as we know it, it is the end of The Dot as we know it, and I feel fine..
a) Have someone (else) read your post before you submit it. For that matter, create a Kuro5hin-style "posting queue" but accessible only to/. editors. Hemos puts an article in there, but it only reaches the front page if someone else signs off on it. In order to sign off on a posting, force a spellcheck and an archive search. If there was a way to force a fact check, I'd mention that as well.PLEASE!!!!! If you want kuro5hin, read kuro5hin. If you want Slashdot, read Slashdot. It's not that hard, now is it? This is a FREE site, on which people can vent all sorts of more or less stupid opinions (go ahead, this one's to easy) while staying within a certain group of subjects. If you don't like it, sod off.
Its primary purpose is to show the process running on your system.
I've got a device at home that allows me to do the same thing, and as such it should be banned and made illegal immediately. It is called a (drums roaring up in background) screwdriver.
Did you ever go to the Zoo? There are those signs around there that say: do not feed the animals. Here on Slashdot it says: do not feed the Trolls. You did just that.
This is a great kind of thread for the average karma whore. You can start piling up links from here to Tokyo, off which quite a lot might harvest a +1 Informative.
Thank you so very much for confirming the point I was already making. And yes, I'm aware of the existence of Tweak UI. I'm also aware of the fact that if you right-click on Tweakui.inf and select "install" then you will not be stuck with the rest of those crappy powertoys. As for those protection methods you described, it's normal for (male) kids to look at pr0n. Let them be. What parents really should look into is giving their kids decent sexual education so that those kids will start respecting the other/same sex.
So, any program that is designed to access a computer system is illegal? Like:
Let's have some more:
Internet Explorer
Netscape
Mozilla
Sur fing means taking information from a server and displaying it on your screen. Thereby you are effectively accessing the server. Therefore this will be illegal and the internet as we know it will disappear forever. As REM would put it, this is the end of the Net as we know it.
No, I'm merely stating what I saw. Please try to find something which can be remotely seen as an opinion in my post and start commenting on that. Oh wait, I'll make it easy. Here's my opinion:
Kids in the stage of puberty find things that are not allowed interesting.
The fact that boys in puberty find pr0n interesting anyway has nothing to do with that.
I suggest that we give pornsites a new type of extension. Try pronouncing www.porn.com using a heavily overdone Scandinavian accent and you will know what I mean.
That's the whole point of the story. The parents asked me to help them block the stuff. The kids are pretty regular kids who happen to have had a computer in the house since they were born. They don't know any different. What I was trying to get across is that the new generation knows more about computers than some of us geeks do, because they've grown up with them.
Let me give a short description of a how a couple of friends of mine tried to prevent their kids from surfing to "certain" sites.
They put a password in Windows, he he. Protection bypassed by pushing "cancel".
They put a password in the Bios. The kids screwed open the computer and jumpered the computer back to default settings after which they manually reset the Bios to the correct settings.
They installed a blocking program. The kids uninstalled it.
They asked me to insert a registry key that automatically started a screensaver with a password. The kids went into the registry and left a message in the key for me:-)
They asked me if there was anything else they could about it. I told them that the only difference between this and a more old-fashioned situation was that Mom had to look in the Internet history instead of under the matrass and that it otherwise was pretty normal for a 14 year old boy to look at "dirty pictures". So they stopped trying to prevent it and the kid lost all interest. Their daughter wasn't really interested in pr0n anyway.
Sounds like a good idea. I guess I'll do just that. Had you not posted anonimously I could have been able to tell you where, when, and most importantly, how. Anybody wants to buy the rights for the film?
Now that's one hell of a way to get rid of your competition. Just picture the newspapers:
Newsflash! In an interview today with a spokesperson from a leading company in processors the statement "We're not having any difficulties in controlling this bacteria" was heard. This same spokesperson had no explanation for the fact that aside from the known 1.13 Ghz problems all other processors from their company are experiencing instability problems as well as spontanious desintegration. Multiple customers of this company have been known to complain about the fact that all of a sudden their computers stopped working after which a yellowish green goo started dripping out of it. We'll keep you updated on this one.
Which is exactly the reason this bacteria needs to be examined very carefully. Who knows, we might actually be able to install Linux on it. And in that case we might also be able to create a Beowulf Cluster of mostly harmless bacteria...
I never said that there was any such evidence. At the same time though, where's the evidence it isn't? As the legal representative of this bacteria it is my official duty to request that you appear in court. My client is innocent (harmless) until proven guilty (mostly harmless) and will have to be treated as such. Any other claims that my client might pose a threat to mankind will be treated in a similar manner.
Women become even more crucial when you want to settle another planet. What has better cahnces of settling Mars, 100 women and a lead box with sperm in liquid nitrogen, or 90 men and 10 (soon to be very tired) women?
Hold on. 90 men and 10 women? And the women are the ones that are supposed to get tired? Better make that 900 men and 10 women.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I can really identify with you, so much.
Less than 16 in Holland? Are you kidding? Where ya from anyway? I am from Holland, and trust me, it's 16.

If slashdot is going to post articles about politcs, then replies dealing with politics SHOULD NOT be moderated down as flamebait.
Then how should they be modded down? Offtopic won't do the trick, now will it? Redundant sounds nice, though.

Resistance is futile. You will be communized.

Perhaps you should check out the 0nd law as well. Or the three laws as they are set in some of the later novels...

Probably this thing is some sort of an early beta version of the final bacteria.
Great, in that case all the original code might still be there! Let's hack this puppy.

Who knows, maybe ancient bacteria will make us extinct.
