Kevin is NOT on parole, and he is NOT on probabation..
He's on what's called supervised release... Right now, he's supposed to be a free man. This is not supposed to be a punitive condition.
These restrictions are placed on him under a rule that allows for occupational restrictions on felons when necessary to protect the public.
Parole is when you haven't done all of your time in the joint, and they let you out early.
Probation is a sentence in itself. He was sentenced to time served and 6 months or so... He did every day of his sentence in jail.
Let's talk about Inalienable rights for a minute: The right to a speedy trial: how about 4 years without a trial... The right to review the evidence against you: denied... Cruel and Unusual punishment: 1 year of solitary confinement is torture and a human rights violation...
This nonviolent and reformed man was placed in solitary confinement for a straight year, and treated like the most violent criminals are. He was forced to plead guilty when it became clear that the government was going to great lengths to conspire to deny him a fair trial.
You don't put "Rights" in quotes. That's what they are... "Rights".. When you say inalienable, that means that they cannot be separated from you.
You obviously have no idea about this case or about law, so I guess the moderators were on crack when they kicked this up to a 4.
Name.Space kicks ass... They won't anyone register a TLD... In fact a TLD (.art,.media,.software) has to be totally generic, and there has to be some popular demand before they'll add it.. Anyway, the DNS chokehold is going to be broken sooner rather than later... ICANN isn't going to do it for you (obviously)...
So you can sit at home reading Slashdot all day and hope it gets better (good luck), or you can DO SOMETHING and support a cool, serious alternative like Name.Space... They've got the infrastructure working today, and everytime I read a what-if post about "starting our own alternative geek-DNS system" I feel like shouting at my computer because this is exactly what Name.Space is doing..
NYLUG and other hackers in town for H2K will be protesting at the Federal Court at the opening of the MPAA vs. 2600 trial on July 17... Be there or be square! We should be getting a press release into circulation (hopefully Slashdot?) next week, but this is an early heads-up for those of you who aren't on the West Coast for this one here...
I'd use Linux if Windows was 200% faster.. A faster Windows still locks me into it's stupid upgrade treadmill... Benchmark results are just statistics.. and as you know, there are "Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics".
You can't just jump up and down when Linux beats Windows on a benchmark. Then you're setting yourself up to hang your head when Linux loses one every now and then (Mindcraft).. In so doing, you're missing the point: The speed, usability, or even stability of free software is not the driving force behind its existence, It's the FREEDOM!
On Independence Day, of all days, you lose sight of this? I'm so tired of these benchmarks.
> > Yes, MAC address, ttl, etc. >Yes, but that is not my data.
Ahh. Now we're getting somewhere.. The optimizations and other _transparent_ processes that gcc performs on your source do not modify your data. The output is a direct consequence of exactly what you put into the compiler... If you put it into another compiler, you'll get the same application. This is ridiculous.. Your lawyers suck.
What the fuck use is Genesis to archaeologists? Oh, so after we've all blown each other away, hyperevolved cockroaches can learn about how God created man and about Noah's Ark and all that other bullshit... I'm sure they'll be thrilled to hear about that.

Vim fucks it up all the time... Particularly when I'm doing weird stuff like outerspace Perl syntax or JSPs or something like that. That said, I don't think I'd want to see the stupid select boxes everytime I type . or ->, either...
You know, we could have really used something like this a while ago, but now Motif seems irrelevant. We have GTK and Qt, which I'm told are much better (tried selecting a country in a Netscape dropdown list lately)?
Actually, the DuPont Corporation had congress in its pocket. They had just patented a new process for bleaching and pulverizing wood pulp. Just one problem: they needed to eliminate hemp, so they cooked up a lot of racial fear and bogus medical testimony (which the AMA protested) regarding marijuana at a 3 hour congressional hearing. Just like that, it was done. As a matter of fact, you could always grow hemp with little or no THC. This didn't matter, of course.
Library/school filtering software would probably prevent you from learning this on the 'net, right?
Exactly... The reason the trademark interests are so worried about new TLDs is because they are used to being forced to litigate over.com.org and.net, which have no reference to industrial specialization. mcdonalds.com is the only choice for McDonald's Food Corp, and for McDonald's Plumbing and for old McDonald's Farm. With a.farm,.food, and.services TLDs, McDonald's Food Corp would have no worries about trademark confusion with the others. This is obvious. Two more domains isn't going to do it.. ICANN's working Group C has suggested introducing 7-10 initially and then expanding. This is closer to the right idea.
Unfortunately, Roger Cochetti (a NSI exec and ICANN DNSO member) feels he has the authority to completely bypass the "months or even years spent in further analysis, debate about abstract criteria, and lengthy, complex and contentious procedures and negotiations" which were mandated by ICANN. ICANN is now very clearly showing it's true colors. NSI should not be able to just step in and choose new TLDs just because it finds the ICANN rules inconvenient. What gives NSI this right? What denies everyone else this right? Legally, NSI has no more claim on making new TLDs than Rob Malda, and their proposal should have just as much validity as his.dot and.rob (ie: none at all). The difference is that they have planted Cochetti on the Names Council, and Slashdot hasn't. This isn't democracy, folks...
That's great link! I didn't know it was so easy... All of those hacks involve going through arcane motions with the remote, but none of the ones I read required opening up the player or voiding the warranty!
This is exactly right.. This is the philosophy of the Name.Space project, which has been operating nameservers (now with 550 emerging TLDs) for 3 years. Point to our nameservers and resolve everything from.art to.zone.. We're taking registrations as well as votes for even more TLDs. Switch to Name.Space's nameservers and route around ICANN and all this beaureaucratic stuff..
The.org TLD lost its Non-profit requirement years ago, so it's a bad example. Such a qualification requirement isn't really useful, anyway. The TLD could be used in ways the registry never intended... Some English words mean something else in other languages, for example... The.club TLD could run country clubs and night clubs, but also golf clubs and TheClub(tm). You don't need to specify a holy purpose for a TLD, only that it's useful for _something_. Why stop with 5 TLDs? By following the instructions at Name.Space you can resolve 550 new ones from.art to.zone. We've been operating them for years.
It wouldn't break any spec. There has, in fact, been a.ARPA for inverse domain resolution for as long as there has been DNS. Nowhere is there any such restriction on TLD length... The only restriction is that the whole name has to be 255.
Slashdot Mirror
Kaplan was HIMSELF the hearer of the motion...
And he denied it (of course).
That is to say, he denied a motion to
dismiss himself from the trial...
and we had a ton of support...
despite Slashdot's very late posting...
Anyway, pictures are here for all to enjoy...

I saw an angry Cuban holding up a "facist"

P.S. the "ag" domain belongs to the country
of Antigua.
"joe.service" is a second level domain.
"service" is a top level domain.
Lots of people get this confused for some reason.
Exactly... .com .org .net, which have no reference to industrial .farm, .food, and .services TLDs,
.dot and .rob
