Actually, i think the summary is also misleading. Im pretty sure they dont mean only usenet. Theyll go and filter and check what youre looking for in images.google. Theyll find ways to index all you do and none of this guys even say they "do no evil". Hell, their slogan could very well be: "limiting your BW and IPv6 for profit.... and quit crying 'cause we do not care".
The only possible upside of this is that its only a letter and that its probably all there is to it: i dont see them spending any kind of dough on actually enforcing in any technically excelent manner, anything that doesn't give'm money (and they are seldom good even for that).
So anyways, they are still stupid, and the deal is still stupid and wont do anything to thwart child porn.
I have no idea why do people think child porn is a net thing. Its been here for long time ago (id say that its been here since the discovery of the portrait... hell, look at those Greek pottery paintings).
Thwarting the net to "stop" or "hinder" child pornography is kind of like limiting the automobile in some ways so that al capone cant leg a ton of booze: sure, it sounds right, but it wont stop Al, while it wouldve fucked (or limit) the car for ALL the rest.
Can we call this the "Yet Another Useless Stupid Deal For Nothing"
I hate child pornograpy as much as anyone SHOULD, but I know whats a PR stunt that wont solve a thing and will only reduce internet's freedom to share information in exchange for absolutly nothing at all whatsoever.
How can we convey to the public that the internet's value depends directly on ISP's not being able to discriminate traffic by content?
How can we put out there the idea that the internet has all this potential for individual freedom and that any kind of attempt to enforce any kind of legal stuff in it will only hinder the potential it has FOR THE COMMON JOE?
Fucking legislators, fucking ISPs and fucking, unreasonable and plain stupid bible-hugging assholes.
How many stores can you hook to your iphone? Where is that "add new store button"?
How many players play the apple drm format for media?
How long did it take for Java or Flash to run on 64 bit based linux (which has been arround since the 90's).
Its about choice, yeah. And about the way proprietary software mindset is used to limit, precisely, choice.
No. You are wrong. This is not the best world we COULD have. We should strive for that, not to compromise so others (not you, not me), can still make a profit from DEAD bussiness models.
They DIED when the internet became mainstream and their DEATH will be accelerated by FOSS and the way the net enables it.... or thats what we should FIGHT for. We should NOT welcome proprietary software that is used to limit whatever you BOUGHT. Thats where the line should be drawn.
Freedom is not "a compromise". It is, or it is not.
Its interesting that youre "half hispanic" and dont even know what youre talking about.
Youll retort, naturally (being the hispa-neo-redneck that you are), that the US birth rate is probably that high due to the Mexicans living there, which will further expose you as the person I have just so masterfully described (in not-so-badly written english, and I am Mexican from the four sides).
IBM does LOADS of research in materials, chip, silicon, quantum, math...and etcetera. They actually live off some real patents and some trolish stupid patents.
HP does less than IBM, but its sort-of in the same league: they do, for a big part, live of real patents
Microsoft has only patented really stupid ideas (not that the other two havent, but MS practically ONLY has patents for trolling or to "prevent" trolling).
In the end, the truth for the US, is that the government pays for R&D and the corporations profit from it. And its not a bad system at that: the gov. pays A LOT for GOOD R&D (hey, they gave the internet to the world, didnt they?), and it cannot massify it, move it to cheaper markets, comoditize it, foster competition arround the result of R&D.
Thats what the free market is for and it SORT OF works.
But... thats another discussion altogether. Ive allways thought that the IT industry is basically a trust like the old Oil Trust: they sit down and share the cake, set prices, lobby for stupid software patent laws, and the public suffers from this.
In come FOSS.... and thats going to change this ways at least for software.
Evolution requires adaptation to "function". The example is not evolution necesarily, because that would need the population of moths to actually mutate.
Now, from all your blurb, it can be said that SOME white or black moths still are born regardless of if they get eaten later, so that would mean that the black/white gene (and we are supposedly talking about the same species) is always in operation there, but its the same gene all arround, so no mutation there, so no evolution there....
Slashdot Mirror
Well.... the diff being that marcos's gut is really prominent as of late.
He aint no batman, thats for sure.
Or any slashdotter's (now that doesnt as good as it did when I thought about it), but yeah, WE thought so: its just for nothing.
And thats GOOD as well. What on earth can the ISP's do against child porn, other than snooping arround in real time at everything all users do?
This guys think that the net fosters child porn. What, didnt they see that greek pottery from a gazilion years ago?
Thanks ./, ive known about this for TWO WEEKS.
And no one died.
So there.
No!
Well...

The summary ciphertext?
Its the only thing that would make sense for their lawsuit.
Via says youtube profits from their content in a proactive manner. So this is a good way to prove it.
...and suse for work..
Yeah, youd HAVE to be gettin paid to work on that.
Well... for servers and desktop its WAY past that mark.
For the notebooks, give us time. We just started this past couple of years.
Its unfortunately not bash by default. But I agree with everything else you say.
Hell... no Unix this days looks any kind of usefull without some GNU in it.
Ironic, isnt it?
Well... that means youve violated the GPL and have lost all rights to distributing Linux.

Well... youre just ignorant.
The birth rate of Mexico as of today is 1.8 kids per woman (latest figure of TODAY -heard it in the news, here in Mexico).
In the US, according to: http://www.susps.org/overview/birthrates.html - this, its 2.1 kids per woman.
Its interesting that youre "half hispanic" and dont even know what youre talking about.
Youll retort, naturally (being the hispa-neo-redneck that you are), that the US birth rate is probably that high due to the Mexicans living there, which will further expose you as the person I have just so masterfully described (in not-so-badly written english, and I am Mexican from the four sides).
You mean people that actually think software patents are a good idea?
No wonder we disagree.

One might if one ever got the chance to get ones paws on a win or osx alpha.
Which doesnt happen.
NOT!
Now where is that mod +1 "knows the plural of platypus"

Or i think its that way. Someone help us please.
Celibacy was not introduced to priesthood until VERY late, im told until the year 1012 in some concile or another.
There is NO theological foundation for it, there never has been one. Its a rule of the church that does not come from the bible.
Hey, come on. Wasnt it burroughs that wrote The Frisco Kid?
Dont we have an Allen Ginsberg allie, just off chinatown?
Embrace frisco, my friend.
Man...
The rest of us DO NOT KNOW what incredibly popular pop band are you talking about, much less the characters!
AH! :
if god.exists()
{
god.create(evolution);
}
else
{
evolution.create(god);
}
And that sort of suggests that god and evolution are entities of the same class or at least share a method.
And youd be DAMNED RIGHT.
If god exists, he created evolution.
If god doesnt exist, evolution created him through us.
Its a win-win.
