i grew up on free as in beer software, apple pickers groups, shareware, school sponsored software swapping events etc were common place
as such i feel no moral obligations to pay for most of the software i use, there is an entire generation of us (i'm 22 for reference) and all this is is our siblings doing the same thing with different content, i know my little brother does, how about yours
how about super intelligent AI lawyers ala The Matrix..
Hello Mister Anderson, you have been subpoenaed
AI lawyers have the added benefit of being free and running on human-coppertop-generated electricity the fuel of which is the liquified dead, remember..
if theyr'e not using hte DMCA i don't see where they have any legal legs on which to stand.. i'm not a lawyer but i am the son of one;) and it seemes like the only "illegal" thing they did was reverse engineer the battle.net protocols and whatnot (i haven't read about thsi in depth) so that they oculd play their own games.. i think the real reason blizzard cares so much is their next Cash Cow aka Warcraft 3 has already had the beta version leaked viciously about the 'net and so they're going after the only group of people they can, trying to stuff their thumbs in the gaping hole in the dyke (heh) while the flood waters keep on pouring out..
i think this is a lose lose situation frankly, they're pissing off their community, ie, the people who keep them in business.. and theyr'e doing it to protect something which is already pubically available (legally or not).. so they're just making the problem worse.. seems like it would have been a much better move to embrace rather than attempt to extinguish
none of this is troll bait btw, and that's just what i think.. $.02
how about the one that replace your default home page, replace your M$ dns errors (lop.com is the one that *infected* my machine) etc etc.. it's a virus, there is no uninstall there is no program in the menus or that add/remove programs dialogue, the only way to find it was to do a search for lop on my machine.. lopsearch and some cookies just jumped into the recycle bin
people like these need to be shut down even faster than just normal spammers..

Time Travel
·
· Score: 1
i'll bite
wtf is a UFT and TOR
your little rant is scarce w/ the details
assuming that people could time travel as easily as "walking down the street" where are reprecussions? Why didn't they stop planes from smashing into the world trade center if the gov't has time machines? i mean really, do you think they would have just let something like tha thappen? what you have to remember is that no matter how evil the gov't is, it is composed of largely patriotic good decent honest people who are all paving the road to hell w/ their good intentions;) i don't think that something like a time machine would be abel to be kept a secret, need examples? how about all the militaries super-secret spy planes that we all know existed before they were pubically acknowledged (read: SR-71, B2 bomber, stealth fighter, etc) need more evidence? got another one worder for you Roswell.. the gov't isn't particularly good at keeping big secrets
if the point you're trying to make is that people traveling through time are harmless, i'd like to see an explanation as to why you think so, because if it were true it seems like a huge cash cow industry (think jurassic park), i mean i dunno about you but i would sure drop $10 to see myself lose my virginity (again;)), watch the titanic sink, and have my cheeks flap in the nuclear breeze 300 miles outside hiroshima
timid nile swimmers? is that some allusion to crocodilian waters? ah well.. lessee how many of my precious few karma points i lose for htis one;)
don't forget doa2, tekken 4, devil may cry and other tight shit
what i really need is a decent plug in NO SOLDER modchip like i have for the psx, region codes are lame, i like having backups of my shit and sony can lick my fat white ass
"instead of dragging the cable into the hull and returning on the exact same path (and perhaps catching the optical fiber on something), the bots continually feed out the cable they need and exit the wreck wherever it is convenient.
When the bots get back to their docks on the submersibles, the umbilical is simply jettisoned. Not having to go back or untangle the cable is a tremendous time-saver. Furthermore, the cable is designed to decompose quickly so it won't leave an unsightly web-like mess for future visitors to encounter."
i wonder if decomposing fiber optic lines are good for preservation of the ship.. or the life around it..
i still haven't decided if there was an actual plot line.. lots of flashy things and CG.. oh well it was a nice distraction after work.. a good movie to watch stoned w/ some raisinettes (sp)
assume that because you downloaded a single song you would have paid $18 for the new release album if it weren't for that internet and it's pesky dog; but since they just hire people to make up numbers for them to show to congress anyway i fail to see how this one guy's article makes any difference..
who is representing consumer interests to congress? the RIAA and MPAA have lobbyists ... oh wait the congressmen themselves are supposed to be ours..
i can't speak for everyone, but i haven't bought a cd in a long, long time.. i think it's funny that this guy just got a clue and even more so that it actually got submitted and approved for display on here..
i did see blade 2 the other night though, so i guess i'm supporting evil (MPAA) somehow anyway..
and at only $11,000 for the base entry (with no keyboard or monitor and at 900 mhz w/ only 1 cpu) model they're a steal;P (clicking through the options it's actually more, $45 for a usb keyboard? i mean really).. i realize these are aimed at big business but this still doesn't seem realistic
i wonder how they can justify a price tag like that, sure the hardware is great but i'm willing to bet someone could build a comparable p4 machine for well less than half what they're asking..
does it cost? the text posted from the article doesn't say.. i can't get the to the site, it says it has a lithium ion battery as well, how long does it power the handheld? how long does it take to charge? 10 gb sounds good, i could take half my mp3's and half my porn *anywhere*, i've just become a roach pirate propagating wherever i may roam (metallica pun intended);)
stupid moderators are worse than trolls, and they sometimes and often are trolls themselves (since trolls can karma whore just as well as anyone else).. some other form of moderation is needed.. people should be able to read threads and posts as they were posted not as they have been modified by other people's opinions and as they deem necessary.. the moderation and lack of recourse or review of the results by sane persons makes it ideal for the abuse which it is often teh instrument of.
leave peoples posts the fuck alone, add customizable filters for shit like first posters and troll libraries and give people the option of using or NOT using them
good commentary and ideas are being lost to the masses because of the present chaos.
someone who has done almost no web design it still seems to me that the layout of the site should fit the content and purpose of that site, slashdot is a good example, i personally think fidelity.com has one of the best and most useful websites i've ever used as htey provide a huge wealth of information and technologies very well laid out in an intuitive manner... (although it sucks under *nix)
down grade your version of media player? i hope that this doesn't apply to the plug in mentioned but under XP it's basically impossible to get rid of version 8 which doesn't support opening of multiple video windows liek 6.4 used to.. i've tried repeatedly to replace it with it's older version and M$ made sure it wouldn't work.. even in win95 compatibility mode it won't work i hope linux doesn't allow itself to fall into the same trap.. people will hopefully find better alternatives..
where as i posted the first lame hammer joke and got immediately slammed to -1 and then i posted a reply and got slammed to -1 and theni posted another and got slamemd to -1
mod points are stupid, i'm starting think slashdot might not need to be my homepage anymore this shit is lunacy..

- lack of decent free porn (only 12 yo boys can come in 8 seconds)
- grotesque and prolific advertising including massive fucking banner and pop up ads
- spam, in all it's mutations
- FLASH
- JavaScript
- Abuse of Registration practices (forced to register for everything, even WAITING IN LINE hint hint FILEPLANET)
maybe that's just me but those are my reasons.. in no particular order
word to that, i was already pricing houses in france.. i dunno that it would be any better there though.. maybe i should consider the netherlands

shitty.
Go to the library
they often have new releases, rip and free them on kazaa/winmx/opennap/whatever floats your boat
i can't speak for everyone, but i haven't bought a cd in a long, long time.. i think it's funny that this guy just got a clue and even more so that it actually got submitted and approved for display on here..
i did see blade 2 the other night though, so i guess i'm supporting evil (MPAA) somehow anyway..
i want my flying delorean minus michael j fox
and some of those (nanotech?) self healing/cleaning/drying nikes and clothes
dict.org sez
No definitions found for "hagiographic"
wtf is that anyway

you sir are a god
many thanks, i wasted 2 whole days trying other players and couldnt find anything that fit.. i appreciate it
down grade your version of media player? i hope that this doesn't apply to the plug in mentioned but under XP it's basically impossible to get rid of version 8 which doesn't support opening of multiple video windows liek 6.4 used to .. i've tried repeatedly to replace it with it's older version and M$ made sure it wouldn't work.. even in win95 compatibility mode it won't work i hope linux doesn't allow itself to fall into the same trap.. people will hopefully find better alternatives..
fuck you and fuck the monkey whose cunt you fell out of.. illiterate cockmunching faggot cumcicle
weeeee, that should burn a few more
hell the original post refers to hammer, i figured the connection was already made..
what's more annoying then that? he got mod points
where as i posted the first lame hammer joke and got immediately slammed to -1 and then i posted a reply and got slammed to -1 and theni posted another and got slamemd to -1
mod points are stupid, i'm starting think slashdot might not need to be my homepage anymore
this shit is lunacy..
