I think the real problem is that the US Administration might decide they need to "fix" it, just like they're trying to "fix" social security, or PBS, or the judiciary. Ideally, we need the Internet managed by a really ineffective, bureaucratic organisation that is incapable of doing anything. If we can't get the EU involved, then the UN would be a pretty good fallback.
I think it's more like someone setting a shop in a mall, nice wide open store front, attractive products, bright lights, welcome mat, the full works. And then they have anyone who comes in arrested for tresspassing.
And how is he supposed to eat without cash? Armed robbery? You may as well say "If you want to eat you gotta keep your mouth shut." Which may well be an accurate summation of the state of affairs, but it rather makes a mockery of freedom of speech, doesn't it?
An anonymous reader writes "LinuxDevices.com is... according to the article. Now to strap one of those puppies to my iPod!"
I'm sorry, baby dogs? That's so last week. I've got an arctic seal pup strapped to my iPod. You should see the looks I get on the subway. Bling, baby, Bling.
Wikipedia is self moderating. The end users restore defaced pages.
Also, pages linked from Slashdot are usually locked for a while to prevent defacement. The main page on Wikipedia is permanently locked. They're not stupid.
I think this is brilliant. While larger countries look to wireless as a new way to keep on beating the same dead horses, smaller countries can use it to attract live horses.
I just bought an iMac. I thought I had rationally considered all the options. I guess it serves me right for going proprietary. Hell, for all the new software that will be coming out on Mac PPC now I might as well be running Debian stable. Except even Debian stable upgrades eventually.
I'm never buying Intel. Not after what they did to Randal Schwartz.
Fuck Steve Jobs. And fuck RMS for being right, yet again. You can't trust software hoarders.
Here's hoping there's a usable Japanese Input Method for Linux 3 years from now, when I buy my next computer. Or else I might end up buying Windows.
Slashdot Mirror
Can someone tell me where the old Slashdot went? This new pro-Microsoft Slashdot is weird and disturbing. And, to be frank, kinda retarded.

Maybe if I click my heels together... there's no place like home... there's no place like home... there's no place
Bah, humbug. Just wait 'til I get the fusion reactor in my basement up and running! Then you'll be sorry! Bwah ha ha ha ha.
Oh, wait. I don't have a basement. Fuck.
Yeah, it was in my pants all this time. I was going to mention it, but I didn't think it was such a big deal. My bad.

Well, obviously if you redefine 'freedom of speech' to mean something else, the problem goes away.
By the way, do you know what happens to people when they are unable to eat for an extended period?
Actually, I bought The Matrix on DVD a year before I had anything to play it on :-)
But now that I look back on it, that was kinda stupid.
You gonna eat that?

I think my metahorse got tangled.
Hmmm...
Summer of Choad Spreads?
Google Spreads the Choad?
More Choad from Google?
Google: Now with 100% more Choad?
Google's Hot Weather Choad Eruption?
Choad Coverage Up?
Summer of Choad Bubbling Up?
Google Frothing With Choad?
Google Unleashes Another Load Of Choad?
Can anyone help me out here?
It is, I believe, the singular form of "gonad".
You now, leave my aunt margie out of this! For shame!
Your review misses the most important point! How long did you queue for a ticket?
Client: I want a rubber house, like my neighbour's.
Developer: But your neighbour's house is made of wood...
Client: Do I look like a hippy to you? I want a house like my neighbour's, but made of rubber.
Developer: How about making it of brick, with a rubber coating?
Client: Brick is too inflexible. It has to be rubber all the way through.
Developer: It'll be expensive...
Client: Nonsense! I just read in the Financial Times that rubber is cheap!

I used the Amiga as an example of an obsolete platform with a small but extremely vocal userbase. I have nothing against it personally.
