no i have rr in cincinnati and have not had 80 blocked..
although abny time i updated teh IP's of my domains i lose my connction as soon as the DNS change propagates until i physically reset the modem a billion times and it releases the address and give sme a new one
what about dynamic ips? what happens when Tommy Warez kiddie gtes 10 new movies and his ip changes and you get the cease and desist order?
i hope some really big class action lawsuit puts them back in tehir place, the mpaa is being even more stupid than the riaa -- movies are much harder to trade (since they're massive even the divx's are not manageable over dialup) and there are fewer of them...
besides they still seem to assume that just because you have a copy you both a.) don't own it legally and b.) even if you didn't when you downloaded it that you *would* have gone out and purchased it (which is what they base their losses on)
maybe they'll sue themselves out of business, lawyers ain't cheap and even if they bust half of the teens they prosecute they won't recoup their losses
going after users doesn't work, ask the DEA
stupid wars on freedom waste time and money, why not go the way of BMG and at least attempt to make a profit from it insted of trying to slow your demise.. death to teh riaa
i ran debian for a year back w/ 2.2 and all the library dependency issues and broken everything made me switch back to slackware (at the time). debian has had issues like these forever but no one cares because people assume that if you run it youre part of some technical elite adn can fix everything yourself -- even if that is true one shouldn't have to and requests for fixing debians broken pieces have been ignored for a lot longer than you know;)
although everyone says gentoo is good i'v enot tried it.. mandrake makes a fast, easy, pretty desktop but linux still hasn't caught up to windows yet so it couldnt' stay (my g/f complained too much so XP had to make it's way back on)
no real opint to this except to say i agree with you
i see the mp3 gameboy player from news.com got posted by my story got the axe:
2002-07-02 17:47:43 Mandrake Will *NOT* Join United Linux (articles,mandrake) (rejected)
a gameboy probably wouldn't be able to carry enough music to justify it's add-on's purchase, especially not when you could have a wheel barrel full of cd-rs and virtually everyone bought a cd player of some kind years ago.. gb + songpro = cdrw ? i think the cdrw would probably be cheaper/better anyway on virtually all fronts (availability/portability/cost of media per mb etc).. and for anyone who cares, gist on mandrake = UL is clueless, we won't join
so iwonder how long it will take congress to regulate them as well, maybe i'm mistaken but i was under the impression the TLD's were/are managed in the US and when industries that are on the cutting edge of technology need a push congress usually does it (see hdtv adn broadband services for examples) of course that doesn't mean it's a good thing..
you know if people had the balls (metaphorically of course;)) to stand up for themslves and weren't so afraid of beign fired all the time people would have a lot more rights and the corporations that employ them would have a lot less
btw i've still yet to see *anything* regarding an IT union
kinda reminds me of a poster they used to have at IU for liberal arts saying "what'er you gonna do when the robots have all the jobs" or soemthing ot that effect.. i think tha tpeople are finally starting to realize that as technology improves your ability to do jobs they can't and thus get fed lessens.. makes you wonder if people will eventulaly give up money for a socialistic utopia afterall (or we could just all nuke eachother fighting over the last resources our tiny planet can provide)
imho, if it doesn't affect your work you should be able to do anything you want, jerk off all over the floor in your cubicle if you want, just hav ea screen and some kleenex cause i dont' wanna clean it up or see it
"... Leave it to Trent Reznor, frontman for Nine Inch Nails, to meet and exceed that challenge. Reznor's richly textured 5.1 channel soundtrack literally rocked the theater, forming an important part of the ever-so-impressive multimedia assault that was DOOM III..."
you may recall trent from quake, he wouldn't put his seal on it if it was shit.. now i need to save for a gf4 i'm afraid
if they were gonna open this stuff up i think they would have already
and after reading both filings i can safely say i have fucking idea what they're patenting, descriptions being pretty vague, anyone else knwo what these patents are for?
i had intent to copy not to steal, i'm glad to see you can make the leap from fuckwit to absolutely fucking retarded
let me repeat since you still don't seem to grasp this concept, if you have 3 M&M's and I eat 1 you have 2 M&M's you have suffered a physical and accountable loss, the M&M costs money to replace
however if you have 3 floppies and i copy the contents of one onto one of mine YOU STILL HAVE YOUR ORIGINAL which means you have suffered *NO* loss
as for the software manufacturer, they automatically assume that because you copied their software that you were going to buy it anyway, which is also false
the same concept can be applied liberally to all forms of information, be it medicine or law or anything else
by your definition having a brain should be illegal because i could use it to steal (store) (copywritten) information (ie could tell someone the end of a new movie and by your definition i have deprived the movie theatre of their money becuase that person didn't pay to see it even though they may not have anyway and i have used my brain as the vehicle of "theft")
perhaps you should wake up from the dreamland in which you live and smell reality
i grew up in an environment of freely flowing information
i feel no guilt and no conscience for "pirating" software, if i make a copy you still have your original, that is not, by definition, theft
Theft \Theft\, n. [OE. thefte, AS. [thorn]i['e]f[eth]e,
[thorn][=y]f[eth]e, [thorn]e['o]f[eth]e. See Thief.]
1. (Law) The act of stealing; specifically, the felonious
taking and removing of personal property, with an intent
to deprive the rightful owner of the same; larceny.
which i felt like providing since you're a fuckwit
notice the last sentence, WITH INTENT TO DEPRIVE THE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF THE SAME
when i make a copy i have not deprived you of anything
just because something is a law doesn't make it right, learn the difference before you open yoru cock-socket next time
i'm reading a lot of posts about how the new patch cripples pirated keys
i'm wondering how this affects the different flavors of XP?
as everyone knows that Professional is not supposed to be subject to the key bullshit whereas the home version is
personally i'm using a pirated copy of XP pro and while it would be trivial for me to get a legal copy for $5 thanks to a collegiate cocksucking arrangement with M$ that one of my ex-colleges had, i'd rather not since that would mean re-installing and the fact that M$ might see a penny of my money (which is unacceptable)
in fact the last legal copy of windows i think i purchased was of '98, and that wasn't by choice
fuck M$, if they cripple my desk i'll just have another *nix desktop with a 98 SE partition for gaming, maybe eventually they will learn to stop treating their customers like criminals (although they seem to have taken a lesson from US law enforcement on that one, since you are presumed guilty until proven innocent in most cases these days)
hopefully the DoJ will give them a vasectomy and people won't have to worry about selling their souls to.Net
so are they going to use the game as a recruitment tool in the same way as the games in teh last starfighter were used? will uncle sam come knocking on my door because i've been a first ranked sniper for 6 mos?
of the fact that there have been like 8000 MMORPG announcements along with the xbox service and all the mmorpg games it is supposedly going to offer
i just have one question, where do the think all the people who are supposed to subscribe are going to come from
i'm going to asssume that most people, if they play at all, are certainly not going to pay subscriptions for 3 or 4 different MMORPGS at the same time, did this market just balloon into a 60 billion dollar a year industry when i wasn't looking? last time i checked the 2 biggest markets for these kind of games seem to be highly saturated (lets' face it, the main audience for MMORPGs is us, adn we are/have be en facing a huge recession, who the fuck wants to pay another $10 a month per game for 4 or 5 games on top of their car/apartment etc w/o a job the other market is the teenager/young adult gaming market, which is thoroughly saturated with tech gadetry and games from all sides
it doesn't seem like all the MMORPGS can survive so why do they keep announcing new ones
nevermind, i installed the package and checked some of the resulting docs, some cocksucker called his program to take css out of an html file DeCSS to be a publicity whore, my mistake, sorry for whatever inconvenience reading my post caused you;P

CARDINALS has been brought to you in part by a grant from vatican city

really? i would have thought being puerile would have been the bigger strain..
actually it said a quarter of a million
/. staff had any hand in it
which is $250,000.. and being sourceforge i wonder if
now we'll know exactly how hot i was

unfortunately at $100 a pop i can buy 10 throw-away cheapo windows keyboards from compusa
and yes i spill enough to coke to make buying in bulk necessary

why did they file for patents if it's part of the kernel? isn't it already covered by a license =)
