They want to run this stupid MS Windoze OS, likely it's pirated anyhow(ever met someone who BOUGHT windows? I haven't), and then they're also too cheap to keep up with paying for Virus software to keep their ShitBox running. If everybody was forced to PAY for windoze, and then they had to go out and BUY additional software so windoze will continue to run, they'd all format and install Linux. I think the new XP is GREAT!!! the anti-piracy feature will surely get many to leave the darkside and join us in our quest for world domination. Shut them down and report them to the link below for Piracy from MS.
I really believe that MS is that EVIL. nothing to do with Linux, and the attacks are a terrible tragedy. I really feel for all of those affected.
Let me ask you this, if you had 100 BILLION DOLLARS in your PERSONAL bank account, wouldn't you retire or at least dedicate your time to doing good for those around you? Good old Bill just wants another 100 Billion Dollars. If greed on that level isn't evil, I don't know what is.
if you deny the request, the worm knows right away, and will move on to another machine. If you acknoledge the request, but then ignore it from there on... it will have to time out before it moves on to the next IP. I'm betting you already know this, but thought it was worth clarifying for those of us who aren't script enhanced as you appear to be.
Microsoft has yet to sign any of the major players to join its trust federation
in some form or another, MS will decide who gets to run.net services and who doesn't. This BS about " These two changes--which Microsoft says aren't changes at all, but rather a clarification of what the company planned to do all along" is utter crap. Had this been what they've been planning all along, they would've made this "clarification" a long time ago. I'm going to bet that you'd better buy a copy of Win2K to run services and pay dearly for it!!! MS should be stopped, really stopped. They OWN our government, and are doing everything they can to confuse issues and LOOK like they're playing nice.
just format your drive now and install Linux, you'l be glad you did. Don't give those MS MF'ers a cent of your cash.
I wouldn't put the terrorist attacks past MS as a way to downplay the ongoing monopoly proceedings.
if I need to encrypt something, I'll go get encryption for dummies and write a script to scramble my messages. so say I was a criminal, I'm sure I'd add some extra code and send a 'key' to the feds.
if the government would quit backing megacorps, and instead fund real research that became part of public domain, the Government would already have superior technology such that encrypted messages would be easy for them to crack. Instead, they're planning on legislating that software allow security holes for the public safety. This is bullshit.
News sites are stating how organized this attack was. I'm betting that anyone with a flight sim program can learn how to operate a plane (especially if your goal is to crash), and you don't need technology to co-ordinate the mission, just meet at denny's for lunch and keep your voices low. I feel that it's perfectly possible to not even need a knife, just your hands and some combat training. get up, snap the neck of one steward, then grab another by the throat and start making demands.
get an old PC and setup a router with help from the Linux Router Project then you can get fancy and have all the features you'd ever want, throw a disk in it and it doubles as a file server, cache dns lookups and web content.
somehow it's more fun that way....or is it just me that thinks this Linux stuff is fun?
I can Sell at Ebay but not Share on Napster

so now someone needs to adopt a front end to ebay and a 'micropayment trading system'. so for each CD I "sell" I get to buy a CD being "sold" with the credits I get. Work out an anonymous payment system like this and we're back on Napster via Ebay auctions. :-)
he who has all the gold Makes all the rules. at least he's trying to use his gold for good rules - overturning the recent legislation that stoppped the federal funding.
and I'm just going to set peoples homepage to slashdot.org, and get them mail accounts from netscape.com. If anyone wants original content, I'll tell them to submit their own stories.
with a mulching mower, GPS, proximity sensors, a few cams,audio, all over 802.11. then I want to control it using my Playstation via usb-802.11 on my tv set.
then I could mow the yard from my tvset using my force feedback steering wheel.
am I asking too much?
How big a fine to impose and what to do with the money. I don't see a breakup as being able to remove MS from the seat of power it now holds. If you open sorced windows, they'd just create a new closed version with "extra features".
Therefore, I think MS should donate it's $30 billion in pocket change to the free software foundation, for advocating and implimenting Free open source software in schools and companies. Ultimately, with enough people working with and on Linux(with enough eyes all bugs are shallow), the government reserves the cash as an asset in the form of freely available software solutions. This does 2 things:
1. removes monopoly power by creating alternatives for not only americans, but everyone everywhere. These alternatives by nature of their open source license are guarenteed to always be available in the future.
2. provide public awareness of alternatives to windows while leaving MS "cashless", unable to rival the marketing power of the 30 billion retrieved in the case.
MS's monopoly needs to be brought down a few notches and I feel that MS should foot the bill for that.(no pun intended)
and then they put pressure on ISP's to have the user cut off if the material isn't removed. This service is offered to the recording industry. Copyright.net browses the file sharing tools to harvest IP's, and report to ISP's. and I 'think' that DCMA forces ISP's to respond and take action. They're grabbing data from your hard drive to verify that it's copyrighted.
Having the ISP tap your line to snoop packets when you share your music collection on port 6346 seems silly.
3. Raises spectre of loss of intellectual property on other levels, and more and more are confiscated for the "public good"
and you think this is bad? Are you Satanic and trying to bring on the end of the world or something? Public good means that ALL OF US GET RICH, and there's more to riches than money.
we need more gonvernments who put the people first and not the corporations.IMHO this reflects well on your people and culture, and the ethics you hold.
instead of just the regular EndUserLicenseAgreement, there's now an ammendment at the bottom of the rest of the text with a letter already composed and adressed to your local representative.
Before proceding you must now click "agree" instead of "accept".
This letter is not from Microsoft, it was added by a non profit organization for the future of world conformance performance, who is only partially funded by microsoft.
but who is paying for the bandwidth? I mean the cable company where I live operates a sonet network that connects most of the city where I live. beyond leaving the local system and moving on a leased line from say sprint to connect to the @home backbone...who pays for that local-to-@home connection, the cable company or @home? there's no doubt in my mind that the cable company has to pay for field support and install technicians, and the cost of running and maintaining the cable lines, but most of this they already do with video and phone cable services, they all run over the same wire.
most @home customers would have a better time using my.netscape.com as more features are offered at most web portals (like webmail that @home doesn't offer). @Home was an 'ISP E-Z setup kit' for cable companies moving into uncharted territory. Several gazillion support calls later I think they've decided to go their own as they have several options for ISP services now, and know more what they want from the relationship. ISP's will be like TV networks, people will get a list of a few hundred or so to pick from just like they'd get nickelodeon or discovery channel.ISP's that allowed running a server would be like the premium pay channel

I don't think breaking the company up will have any efect on their monopoly power. even if broken into 4 or 5 pieces.
