No, he didn't fight "them Germans" so Europeans...
Remember the UK, and all the other Allies...?
We use the metric system, exclusively, in Australia. Doesn't mean the words inch, foot and mile are forbidden. "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile" doesn't need to be explained to children here like morons...
One of the first RIOs... 16 or 32 mb? That's what, 4 or 8 songs? I can't see how that compares versus MD where changing and carrying media, though not perfect, makes life a lot better...
I'd disagree with your first paragraph, MiniDisc players are sprouting up more and more often here (in Australia). MP3 players are a *highly* niche market - i.e. the geek/trendset... and even they enjoy MD.
I agree with the second paragraph, I have an MZ-R90 and LOVE it... I had a Sharp sideloader before and wasn't hugely impressed (woe me for not trying it) - too bulky. But an MZ-R90 with ten MDs fits easily into a bumbag.
Music quality is good. Excellent in fact, especially recorded via optical cable. And I have *NEVER* heard my MD skip, for those who say "But MP3s don't skip"... though my old Discman wish "Anti Shock" would skip when running to change platforms at the station...
In general, I don't think it's dead at all. I think it's growing.
You're right. It is sad. But you seem to think it means something to you - if it does, then you should do something about it. Talk to her when you can, nurture, rediscover that art inside her. It might take a while, and it might not happen. But if it did, she'd be much happier, from the sounds of it, and you'd make a difference. The question is - is it worth the effort to you.
That's different from "I know this site's been cracked. Let me try a few different probable methods to see how they did it". He did a bit more than nslookup, ping, traceroute... He examined their DNS for exploits, the ftp server, etc etc.
On-line graffiti takes time to clean up, and if my company could be billing me out at $100/hr, I'm sure they'd rather I wasn't cleaning graffiti. Especially not when someone claims it shouldn't even be a crime.
I have always wondered why breaking into cars is considered a crime. It seems to me that if I put a car on the road which isn't 100% theft proof, I am liable if it gets broken into. BFD. If someone is smarter than me and figures out a way to open my door, good for them, I am stupid...
At least the moderator used Flamebait, which can be metamoderated. What pisses me off is the jackasses who hide behind Overrated (which isn't). Perhaps Rob should check and if a certain percentage (or more) of a moderator's moderations are "Overrateds" they should be spanked, as is anyone who metamoderates more than four moderations as Unfair (well, their metamods are ignored).
It's not the same thing. The UK law refers to somone withholding an alibi or other information which may get them off until court, or charge, so they can then claim wrongful arrest or unlawful imprisonment etc.
My next door neighbour wants to be a mechanic. Am I gonna be pissed if I come home and see he's decided to pop my bonnet and have a poke without asking?
He's gonna get (rightly) spanked over copyright violations, too. 99.9% of pr0n is a violation of someone's copyright, not to mention his DivX movies and MP3s.
Flimsiest coincidence? They move the server to a new hostname to provide an area for the cracker to be 'detected', this guy wanders in and takes it upon himself to work out what exploit they used, portscannning, checking nameservers, etc, and that's "flimsiest coincidence"?
Who said it was a crime? They said he was a SUSPECT - they didn't charge him with "sticking his nose in". However, his actions are would make cause for investigation/being a suspect VERY REASONABLE, if you ask me.
The people left in the bank after a bank robbery don't go sniffing around behind the counter, examining the drawers that the robbers took money from, interrogating the tellers, and examining anything the robbers touched. That's why.

And that would explain why even on the loopback interface he's still having problems?
Interestingly enough, even England has moved, at least somewhat, to a metric system. Decimal currency, rather than pounds, shillings, pence, etc.

Unicode licencing fees? Huh?
Not clear at all. Very diffuse. Ever heard the phrase "the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law"?
"You are an individual, just like everybody else."
I'd say it was.
It's extremely suspicious just after a site's been cracked. How does port scanning help you determine network latency?
What, probing their DNS server, and other services on their machines isn't the equivalent, all of a sudden?

Crap. If your house is unlocked, is your TV fair game to me? No.
Who claimed he was arrested? His computer was seized as evidence on REASONABLE GROUNDS.

Graffiti shouldn't be a crime? Tell me you're kidding. It's unsightly, ugly, costs people time and effort to clean.

Why is it "entirely obvious he didn't do anything wrong", because he wrote a little story and posted it to slashdot?
