i was really confused until i went to their website. i was trying to figure out why a company who makes mouse drivers would start in 1999. the product is silly at best, i'm actually surprised they are selling enough to make money.
i know this doesnt represent the average user (corporate or otherwise), but i work in a theoretical research group. this means we run alot of simulations that can run for days. only having to restart X is nice for us. just my 0.02$

you missguessed my lineage. i am the spawn of the gimp... the gimp from pulp fiction. not the gnu image manipulation tool which makes adobe shiver with fear of falling revnue if their schmuck customers found out what they could get for free.
he's not suggesting that you follow the trail back to the person who physically copied the media. he is referring to what would happen if you targeted the end users-the ones who are actually downloading and viewing the content... this is the target that i believe the parent was referring to.
well the article says something like: The system is designed to disperse materials in a 360-degree swath, but because pilot Miskel had to keep the pesticide pellets out of the sea, the spray angle had to be cut to 45 degrees.
which i believe is to protect the birds: The kill was necessary because the rodents, descendants of rats that reached the island by way of a shipwreck a century or more ago, were decimating the populations of two rare seabirds.
so evidently they were worried about the birds eating the stuff.
there are links to the article so we can read them and discuss it. just because the editors dont read the articles doesnt mean we have to follow their example.
i've never met him personally, but i really have alot of respect for him. although i dont use tex directly, i do use latex on a daily basis. after using word as an undergrad, i am very grateful for his work. i do agree it was a good joke.
to install a patch. you should really have this scripted or something. i have a nightly script all of the workstations run which upgrades the generic stuff. do they actually pay you to login to each machine and apply a patch? you should script it so you can still get paid and you could do useful stuff while the script is running.
hey. i dont use windows, so this is pure speculation. if sms is really that slow, 60 seconds to draw a menu slow, it sounds to me like there is something wrong. i'm not trying to advocate windows, i dont use it at all. i just find it hard to believe that over 10Mbps sms is that slow unless something is configured incorrectly.
yeah the article knows the difference between force (lbf) and pressure (lbf/area). i dont think it exerts 400 lbs of force on the flat object, but rather on the coil inside. i would imagine that a 400 lb force applied to a window wouldnt be too good for the glass.
since this is one of the mediums they are suggesting you use it with, i dont think it will do too much damage will be placed apon to the original poster if he plans on using his chest. i think one requirement is that the surface be rigid so that it can transmit the sound. i doubt most of our chests are rigid.
i use squid+sleezeball which filters out the ads. i would imagine alot of other slashdot readers do the same or similar. i to wouldnt mind paying for slashdot, but i would expect something for the money: less sensationalisim, editors that read the stories they link to, spell checking, etc.
i believe he's saying the original settlers (very few in numbers) brought smallpox and killed most of the people off. the settlers that followed said "hey there's no one here, it's virgin land" and that's what was stuck in the books.
that would imply that the owner of the server gave the person an account--> the owner of the server knows the person with the account in some way. you could do the same with an ftp server and just not log file access and logins. i still think the argument goes both ways.
its very easy to enable file sharing authentication (ftp without anonymouse access), its not very easy to configure sendmail so it checks to make sure each email message is not spam.
one can close anonymous filesharing (with authentication). one cannot shutdown open email without taking away anonimity.
this is alot of beating around the bush. very few people who use open realays do so to protect their anonymity. on the same note, very few people who use p2p networks do so to share files legally.
if i had any mod points today they would goto you. the companies have no incentive to sit on say a back street boys song for a year, let alone 14 years, or artists life +90years. do you think this crap will be sellabe then? even if it is sellable, it's in the public domain so any one can use it.
i dont think the parent of this post disagreed with campaign finance reform... at least he didnt say so explicitly. i believe he was disagreeing with an implementation which was heralded by mccain.
a more critical view of this issue can be found here.
if they do add something significant and obfuscate everything at the same time, then wouldnt they have complied with the gpl?

you should check out this message w.r.t. S/MIME support in outlook. it doesnt leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

he says he believes in god, but i've never heard him claim a particualar religion. i'm just curious. he is quite the brilliant person though.
at least he says it on page 5, or there abouts, of the article. i guess everyone has faults, i'll give him this one. he's probably never used gvim :)

it has a web front end but another could easily be written in C or whatever:
the project is hosted on savannah. this is the webpage: dbpack

i believe he's saying the original settlers (very few in numbers) brought smallpox and killed most of the people off. the settlers that followed said "hey there's no one here, it's virgin land" and that's what was stuck in the books.
the logic went something like this:
statement 1:
p2p network file sharing is ok it's just the users that abuse it so they should be sought after.
seemingly contradictory statement 2:
open mail relays are bad and the person with the mail relay should be held resposible.
so what someone way up there in the thread was basically saying is if you agree with statement 1 and statement 2 simultaniously you're a hypocrite.
i should also state that in my hypothetical world no logs would be kept to maintian anonymity.
that would imply that the owner of the server gave the person an account--> the owner of the server knows the person with the account in some way. you could do the same with an ftp server and just not log file access and logins. i still think the argument goes both ways.
switch around the topics:
its very easy to enable file sharing authentication (ftp without anonymouse access), its not very easy to configure sendmail so it checks to make sure each email message is not spam.
one can close anonymous filesharing (with authentication). one cannot shutdown open email without taking away anonimity.

thats pretty funny. netscape actually renders the as html code. so now all of my links are flashing, but only on the main page.
