How is that different from having one password for all logins? At that point a sane sysadmin would either ban thoose gadgets or accept same password for all logins
I don't think it really matters if it's open or not. The idea of DRM is wrong and scary and is against freedom. 'Us' making it won't make it a good thing.
I think the purpose of this is to make the FSF/OS folks wamr and fuzzy, and since they won't are you right.
Or do you really think that a company does good just for doing good? It's just about business (like it should be in this market model) not about doing good deeds.
Very nice that they do some good but like IBM is this only an empty gesture. I admint I don't know how many patents they hold but I doubt 1600 is remotely close to that amount.
umm first off, these are not people selling copied goods to others. If I download a movie instead of not watching it in a cinema/renting it it doesn't cost anyone a penny (except me for bw).
Also, mpaa and it's friends might wanna do something about their greed and their sales might increase. I keep hearing how the big movies break new records in profit, they often turn profitable after just a month or so. If movies and music was a well regulated business prices would go waaay down (i have still to hear about another legal business where you can regain all investments in that short time span).
This isn't about poor Tom writing liblickass.so and Red Beard the Pirate stealing it from him so he has to move his family to a trailer park in Texas. This is about a fucked up market with none to compete with the big players.
To keep on ranting, there's also no proof so far that Joe Sixpack downloading material affect sales in a negative way.
Special note: We are an innocent victim of Lycos anti-spam program and our lawyers preparing a lawsuit against it. One Israeli company tried to resell our paintings and they used spam and to save their traffic they put links to images on our site. We broke all contacts with them and nobody is sending any spam. We have NO connection with their spam.
You missed an interesing part in your quoute, the part stating "One Israeli company tried to resell our paintings and they used spam and to save their traffic they put links to images on our site" which means there has been spam sent out with their products.
If they are so innocent they claim, why don't they use their lawyers on the company that sent out the spam and put them in this position in the first place?
I really hope we don't get the same absurd laws here many other countries has adopted. Maybe with the weight of these three dudes it'll help out but I'm scpetical. Tha lack of knowledge people in power have about what they make decetions about is downright scary.
I suspect I have the same VoIP provider as you, as afaik there's only one in Sweden (same company who also give me a 100Mbit for the noble price of $74/month.)
Anyway, this 'small box' you mention is the spawn of satan. I can't remember the model but it's a nasty cisco thingy, and pretty resently it had to be replaced since it transmitted the phone calls on the AM band so ppl, admitedly within a short range like 1 meter or so, could evesdrop phonecalls.
It's sad they use these devices for such an important thing like phone calls.
Apart from this flaw it works super-duper and I can really recomend others to use VoIP as it's cheaper and there's no loss in quality.
We need it because girls and boys aren't treated equally. Boys get more attention in school, get more technical toys, have more role models etc. That's the reason fewer women get into CS and that's not only suprression of a majority of the population it's also a waste of resources for a society since we're more likely to miss out on more than 50% of the geniuses.
No it's not simple or easy, but they are not fine or heroes for doing the 'simple' thing. I'm not the perfect human either but at some point does one has to take the responsability of the actions done. I guess there's a point when you also would think "hmm this isn't quite right and I might have to sacrifice some of my priviligies in life to do the right thing". I think when you have the choices of either killing anonymous people (who also have families btw) or spending some time in jail in a developed country is one situation where the choice should be pretty simple for everyone.
And no, I don't mean that it was a holiday in Vietnam for American soldiers by using the word simple. I mean simple as not going against the (then) current society.
My point was, there's nothing fine in going 10000mi away and fight just because your leader wants you to. By your standard every soldier or terrorist who obeys someone claiming they do it for the safety of their people are heroes, and they aren't. What they should have done before going away to kill (no matter if it's people in uniforms or people without) is to ask themselves why. Every person has a duty to see the consequences of their actions, including people wearing uniforms.
I'm not talking about the rapists and thoose who killed civilians. I mean Joe Sixpack, going there for money or becouse 'his country needed him'.
to utilise a loophole designed to get outta hell a lot quicker than our other fine veterans
What's fine about the people who fought in Vietnam? Doing everything your gov say isn't right, and when you decide it's worth killing people for it rather than spending some time in jail you must make sure you're killing the right people.
It's time to stop sobbing about the fine veterans, they made a bad choice, just like the people who fought for their gov in Afghanistan.
Really scary thing! It's sad tho that all kinds of companies does this all the time, trading your info, altho it's not quite as bad as your recorded calls...
The purpose of the Grand Challenge is to accelerate development technologies that would save lives on the battlefield through the use of robotic vehicles. Even though there was no winner at DARPA Grand Challenge 2004, DoD obtained a number of important ideas that could lead to promising developments.
I think that everyone that considers to participate in this has to think about what their technology will be used for. 'saving lives on the battlefield' also mean 'being better at killing the target for the attack' and lets face it, not all attacks made are good(tm) ones.
Just consider the morality of participating, many scientists who have helped the army has afterwards realised what they did and have regreted it.
you could always vote for somebody else. You don't have to vote republican or democrat. run for office yourself and make some changes.
If you don't belive in marketing and backup by large companies that would be true. Do you have a clue how much money it's needed to run for president? How would average Joe with the solutions to all problems reach out to the millions of people needed to get him elected if he wasn't backed by a large company or a largy party? And when he got elected with the help of thoose, owning everything to them how could he be any better than what's running now?
In the best of worlds your statement would be true but unfortunately are we living in a dump, with too many uneducated people to be able to have democracy.
Really, why should they add more feauters now when they've won. It's sad but still true, average Jennie won't download a 5-15MB browser when she gets it with her 'internet ready' computer, esepcially not when most large websites 'optimize for ie'. The users thinks the problems is with opera/mozilla/ns when they can't use sites they've always been able to access with their beloved explorer
Slashdot Mirror
There are forums and mailinglists for simple (and more advanced) firewall setups. I fail to see why this deserves to be in slashdot.
New technology? no
Advanced special usage of something? no
Something that needs to be review by thousands of serious (and less serius techies)? no
Can someone pleeease explain to me why this accepted!?
And for you who posted the question, search for what you can do with dhcpd, bind and your favorite firewall.

You mean they where too much cowards not to buy into Bush's lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
