Just when they are poised to put a stranglehold on the Internet, e-commerce, network servers, and your mother-in-law's underwear, they are going to try and tell the Supreme Court they are not a monopoly?
I've got an idea for you. Get hold of a copy of Sklyarov's program. Put on a T-shirt that somehow proclaims "I'm a hacker". Sell the program to an FBI agent. Get yourself arrested. Then they would have a reason to let Sklyarov go, and you could be the one sitting in jail. Just think of all the publicity and cool benefits. Oh, BTW, it might take 4-5 years to come to trial, but you don't mind, do you?
They "didn't receive" my first cancellation letter. Funny, they did get the one that I CC'd to the credit card company. Now they're trying to bill me for one lousy month.
Oh, BTW, they could never figure out why they would periodically lose my email.
I've purchased Mandrake (7.0 and 8.0, I think I got 7.1 in a magazine), RedHat, Caldera, SuSE, Slackware, and the three BSDs (FreeBSD w/book a couple of times).
I've never, ever, bought anything from Micro$haft. Since I haven't bought a complete PC since Windows was released (I've just upgraded piece by piece since the 8088/DOS days), I don't think I've even paid the new PC M$ tax.
Bastille is a way to beef up your system security. I believe it was actually developed for Red Hat, but RH doesn't include it. It is a script, and I think it probably has a GUI front end by now.
The police are even worse-- it's been 6 weeks since I originally filed my complaint, and only this week have I actually recieved a call from a detective! These things just SIT there until they either get lost or fall onto somebody's desk
Hey, give the police a break. They've got SERIOUS CRIMES to investigate, like violations on the DMCA.
Instead of just sending money, why not send them some recyclable bottles and cans? Hey, they could fill a shuttle booster with beer cans and take it up to Michigan where they pay more.
Bike enthusiasts could send last year's titanium frames.
And if you've got any hydrazine left over from the 4th of July, I'm sure NASA would take it. (Be careful how you ship it though, it's kinda unstable in the back of a UPS truck.)
Harnessed unobtrusively, this wasted energy could be used in a variety of low-power applications, such as pagers, health monitors, self-powered emergency receivers, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, and emergency beacons or locators
So, if you have a heart attack and stop walking, your health monitor and emergency beacon will lose power?
So if I overload a server with a bunch of IP packets, it's Denial Of Service. If I do it from a few different locations, then it's DDOS. But if those packets contain useless email advertisements, then it's speech and it's OK?
Driving at the posted 55 (say) in pissing rain or 20feet visibility fog is theoretically legal
I don't know about other countries or states, but here in California we have the Basic Speed Law, which states that it is illegal to drive faster than is safe for the current conditions (e.g. pissing rain or heavy fog), no matter what the posted limit is.
(I used to think it also meant that if it was clear and dry and there was no traffic, you could drive 100 mph if you thought it was safe. The judge didn't agree.)
I would consider it, but they should include copies of DMCA and UCITA, and shrink wrap the DNA. I wouldn't want some skanky alien bitch to reverse engineer me, and use me for her sex slave.
Anyone else remember RATFOR (RATional FORtran)? I think the first version of "Software Tools" by Kernighan and Plauger used it. It translated a C-like syntax into FORTRAN.

Yeah, they signed agreements with Universal, Sony, et al. Where does the RIAA get off? Should'nt the individual companies sue Launch it they want" Or if the RIAA has a beef it should be them.
This is NOT a case of copyright infridgement.
You mean "infringement"? "Infridgement" is what you do with beer.
I'm sure it's cognitive gravity. You know, like when Wile E. Coyote runs off the cliff, but he doesn't fall until he looks down and realizes he not standing on solid ground anymore. I think those NASA guys stopped looking at those spacecraft, and they stopped moving until someone looked again.
I think the Saturnians tried this millions of years ago, and look what happend to them: planet pulled apart into a low density giant; stupid rings make space travel essentially impossible; civilization destroyed, etc. I say we wait for antigravity drive.

I just realized they left one important clause out of the DMCA. They should have made it illegal to criticize the DMCA in public.

Are there any distros with security tools installed by default?
Mandrake now ships with Bastille.

Isn't that why the EFF is pursuing the Felten case?

Linux AOL Instant Messenger? Do you think AOL would find that too similar. Would people think of AOL when they saw "LAIM"? I would.

Good riddance to him, the freeloading bastard.
Maybe it's just that there hasn't been anything as funny since. I mean Tom Green sucking cow tit just isn't funny.
