Sigh. You're right. I think it's part of a larger puzzle too. That's why it's important to report. D.Net (which I DO support) should be above such petty behavour.
You miss the point. The point wasn't that Silby left. The point was that D.Net censored him. Badly. THAT was the story, and I think it still is one. YMMV.
One of the things that I find to be almost as interesting was the fact that this was NOT carried by Slashdot. It WAS submitted. I even submitted it. I asked why it was rejected, and was told by CmdrTaco himself that they were looking into it. I guess they never finished looking into it.:-) It was low of them to remove it, and very unprofessional IM(NS)HO. I hope they restore it, and appologize to Silby for deleting it.
.... Why can't we find Silby's.plan pages anymore? Would Nugget or someone care to comment on that? I understand he was critical of what D.Net has become, but is that really reason to wipe his plan pages?
Link works just fine here. There is also a file by the same name at ftp.sunset.se - I use Go!Zilla for downloads under windows, and it finds mirrors for me. Very handy tool. I'm grabbing the file off Borlands main site right now.
That's total crap! I had a cable modem before I moved, and setup a nice little FTP server for myself. *I* used it. When ever I was offsite somewhere, and needed something I could just ftp it from home. Why shouldn't I be able to do that?
Once again, Moderators on CRACK have struck! How is it EXACTLY that my original comment here was offtopic? Because I bitched moderators out earlier? Makes NO sense to me!
Who is the clueless idiot who marked this down? There are three of us who all basically submitted this question at the same time. It's not a Troll, go watch the FUCKING MOVIE before you moderate it down! There really is a song in the movie called
"Shut your FUCKING MOUTH, Uncle Fucker!"
- In fact, it's right near the beginning, and kinda hard to miss! It's central to the whole show! HOW can you moderate something when you clearly haven't even seen the movie? Don't assume that JUST BECAUSE the work FUCK is in the post, that it's a troll!
I CAN'T WAIT to see this one in MetaModeration tomorrow.
He's a figgure skater. Olympic type. They're always picking on him, Nancy Kerrigan (remember the Jesus vs Satan episode?) and other famous and not so famous people.
I guess hoping that "Shut your fucking mouth, Uncle Fucker" would get nominated was just too much eh? And how about the song Mr. Mackey sings about not swearing, MmmKay? That was a good one to MmmKay? Don't you think it deserved a nod? I do, MmmKay?
Given that this attack could be originated by someone in Europe or Asia, what sense is there in the FBI getting so involved? How will they handle the matter if it turns out that the cracker is in Lybia, or Iran or Iraq? What if he's in China? What good does it do to try to track the cracker down, when a more productive effort would be to increase security awareness, and get people to configure thier equipment properly?
Are "Shrink wrap" agreements enforcable in your country, and are you as a 16 year old subject to contract law? In the us, 16 year olds cannot enter into a contract, I'm wondering if it's the same with you.
The biggest problem I've had with my local reps is that they ignore email anyway. It's not as easy to dismiss a handwritter letter, which I've had success with every single time. It's just too easy to delete 100+ emails a day, and pretend you never got them. I think that's what they do.

Once again, much to the detriment of the project, we have proved that closed source, closed beta doesn't work.
Why not open it up before you loose everyone who's working on the project?

Have you compiled the Linux Kernel with it? What were your results?
Hey Rob, Thanks for that tarball!
No you moron, it hasn't. This is EASILY taken care of by two simple things, (which I did do by the way)
#1: Don't make anything available that you wouldn't allow anonymous users to get and,
#2: Use an account that has NO access to anything except those files. Duh.
Hey Rob, Thanks for that tarball!
Wow, recognition from the Troll King himself!
Hey Rob, Thanks for that tarball!
Hey, at least I'm not an anonymous idiot like you...

Thank you, I rest my case.

How could I forget! You're right, of course.

Boy, isn't that the truth. We use roaming profiles here where I work, and our network is S-L-O-W as molasses in January.

I'd say to Auction it off of course. That's fair, honnest and open.

We did verify with that utility. We did call as an OEM. All of that was made clear. They STILL expected us to pay shipping.
Hey Rob, Thanks for that tarball!
I think you may be mistaken. This is the whole point: If they can consider E-mail to not really be mail, then it makes it easy to ignore it. :-)
