    you can do what I'm about to do and change my /. settings to ignore kernel stuff.

  7. Re:Duplicate story on When Personalization Runs Amuck · · Score: 2

    No, they just sell them.

    A month or so later we were Slashdotted. And promptly thereafter ThinkGeek was acquired by the good folks at Andover.Net who have since been acquired by the great folks at VA Software. Andover.Net then became OSDN which is the central entry point for the Open Source community's favorite web sites such as ThinkGeek (hey that's us!), slashdot.org, linux.com, sourceforge.net, and freshmeat.net.

  10. Re:what? on All Source Code Should Be Open, Revisited · · Score: 1

    ***ActiveSX applaudes this AC.

    This is the most insightful writing I've read on Slashdot in a long while.
    It's good to see that some people can still put together a coherent argument around here.

    boo, DVD-CCA

    suit against his posting of DeCSS
    whoot, DeCSS

    in relation to the development of the LiViD DVD player for open operating systems.
    Wait, does this mean...

    What's surprising? It's surprising that they held that his posting of DeCSS was not actionable...
    Yes, yes, I think it means...

    Fuck. Alright, nevermind. Back to whatever you kids do.

    Speaking of e2, my school blocks *everything2.* (under the category "chat"). They don't, however, block 216.200.201.214 (e2's ip, if you're too lazy to look it up yourselves). Same thing goes with www.subdimension.com (I was quite well known for figuring out how to get around that on campus). Ain't bad filtering great, kids?
