Jesus. Mentioning a company != advertizing for a company. Particularly when the company is mentioned in an unflattering light. Is slashdot advertizing for Microsoft whenever it mentions their latest FUD?
Did I miss some meeting where this became a fashionable new form of trolling, or what?
Any chance of getting something like this for Linux? I realize there are iptables and/etc/hosts.deny (though I'm not sure that BT uses it), but when I tried using iptables for one of PG's blocklist, it just couldn't keep up. Transfer rates turned to shit real quick. I also realize there are fundamental differences between the Linux and Windows kernels, but would something like PG be possible for Linux? Does anyone know of a similar alternative (using PG's blocklist would be nice, too)?
[Valenti]:The average number of cassettes per household -- this is fascinating -- Mrs. Schroeder, was 27.7, 28 cassettes. Now, if you are just time shifting, all you are doing is you are away from home and you are taping something and you come back and you watch the commercial, then you time shift, you don't need 28 cassettes. You need one cassette or at the most two. Why do you have 28? Why? Because of the next line. Seventy-five percent have a permanent collection. My own home, we do it in our on home. I know about that. Anybody that has a VCR, talk to them, and I ask you to use your own commonsense, Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Schroeder, Mr. Railsback, just think of you as human beings. If you had the power to sit on a playback of a recording and you could wipe out the commercials or not wipe out the commercials, what would you do? You would do exactly what you said, sir. That is terrific. Of course. We all do it.
But when you do it, you strip away the reason for free television. Now, let me --
Mr. KASTENMEIER. Jack, let me ask you. Do you consider yourself and your family infringers when you engage in that practice?
Mr. VALENTI. I consider myself and my family believing what the plaintiffs in this lawsuit said and they said publicly, they have said it to the press, they have said it to the lawyers, they have said it to the courts. They do not intend to file any actions against homeowners now or in the future. I mean, that is obvious and they have said that publicly, Mr. Chairman, so I believe them. As far as I am concerned, I am going to continue taping because the plaintiffs have said they aren't going to do anything to me. I am not committing any crime. They know that.
Mr. KASTENMEIER. That wasn't my question.
Mr. VALENTI. Do I consider myself an infringer?
Mr. KASTENMEIER. When you engage in such practice.
Mr. VALENTI. Yes, sir, I do. I am taking somebody else's copyrighted material without their consent and I know damn well I am infringing. But as far as court action or anything else, I am safe. First, it is not a criminal act. Again, the opposition would tell you video, police, and criminals. They show an astonishing lack of the copyright law. They know good and well that that is not a criminal infringement unless you do it for profit. But on the other hand the plaintiffs have said they are moving against anybody in the homes. There is no problem, but 1 know and everybody else knows they are infringing.
While I have become pretty good at ignoring banners, I'd honestly just prefer the way it is without the eye-sores. I'll take copying/pasting over "punch the monkey" banners any day.
In a nutshell: people ignore speed limits and drive the speed they feel is safe, regardless of what the speed limit is.
As a result of this, it can be inferred that speed limits (for the most part--though there are exceptions) are set unreasonably low and as such serve no true purpose other than to generate revenue. It seems to me that laws that exist for no other reason than to fund their own enforcement shouldn't exist.
And for those that say speeders cause accidents--read the report I linked to. It begs to differ.

...The problem of speeding..
Laws against speeding are stupid. See this report by the US Department of Transportation.
In a nutshell: people ignore speed limits and drive the speed they feel is safe, regardless of what the speed limit is.

I know someone whose going rate for freelance tech support is nudie pictures, assuming the person is an attractive female.
You'd be surprised how often that results in the person with the problem asking me for help instead.
