  1. Re:Maybe for you.... on Seeking Current Info on Linux Encrypted FS? · · Score: 2

    Now that Ashcroft has thrown out attorney client privledge it maybe very important for your attorney to have deniability. Since all phone conversations between attorney and client can be tapped you may desire that communications take place in an encrypted email format. You may then want your lawyer to encrypt his filesystem for when the fed come knocking down his door.

    I was going to look into webdav so thanks for the heads up. I am also looking at zope. Since it uses it's own database you don't have to even make people users in your server. It's a bit scary knowing all your documents are in one database though what if it goes haywire.

  4. Re:What the hell is wrong with the Judiciary on DMCA 2, Freedom 0 · · Score: 3, Funny

    The president lied under oath.
    It was not in a trial, it was in a deposition. The deposition was taken in the context of a civil case (not a criminal one). No judgement was made as to wether this lie was "relevant" and therefore rose to the level of perjury. he was never charged with perjury, never tried for perjury and never convicted of perjury.

    He lied about the whereabouts of his cock. He was asked about where he stuck his cock and when and under what circumstances. The questions about his cock and the whereabouts thereof were asked primarily to embarass him. The republicans who were suing him intended to publish information gleaned from the depositions so that they could talk about his cock on TV. He knew this and he lied.

    Given that the question should never have been asked in the first place I say it's no big deal. The whereabouts (or the shape and the size for that matter) of Bill Clintons cock is not my concern and I for one am not at all concerned that he lied about it.

    I won't comment on the rest of post as it's pretty silly

    P.S. Can you point out the acual lie under oath? Next time you complain about lying under oath you should say "in this depostion he was asked weather or not he stuck his cock in this girls pussy and he lied about it and that's wrong because I really really care which pussy his cock was buried in"

    You don't mean the US supreme court do you? You think they would actually rule against corporations? The only way that would happen is if the corporation or the CEO was a vocal supporter of and a large donor to the democratic party. Since most corporations are run by republicans and give a ton of money to the republican party no way in hell is this supreme court going to rule against them.

    Simple.

    The CEO of symantec get's labled as a terrorist by Ashcroft.

    He can now be detained infinately without charges. His confinement is not public nor are his charges (if any).

    Life without parole without a trial or charges being filed. If he happens to be non citizen he can be tried by a military tribunal (AKA kangaroo court) and be sentenced to death.

    Would you react any differently?

    Ask your wife this for me.

    Are judges that stupid? or are they simply easily bought?

    My confidence in the US legal system was shaken by the election fiasco. When the DOJ decided to reward MS instead of punishing them it sank further. When some judge actually gives them competitive advantage as punishment it's gone. As of today I have zero faith in the justice system of this govt. I pity every single soul who has the misfortune to stand before a judge or be represented by a charlatan attorney. Maybe one day I'll be dragged into that godforsaken pool or corruption I hope I have the presence of mind to skip the country if that ever happens.

    If a person smokes they die. Maybe a million or two will die it's sad but no big deal there are over two hundred million in the US.

    MS has a monopoly and that monopoly costs every single human being in the US more money. MS will one day control the internet and that will cost every single person on the planet.
    Ability to communicate is what separates us from the animals. MS is now firmly in control of just about all electronic communication and will tighten this control even further. They will essentially control what makes us human. This is much worse then a couple of million killed by smoke especially since those people chose to smoke.

  16. Re:where'd the funding come from? on Researchers' Right To Open Source Research · · Score: 2

    "People seem to forget individuals put out closed source programs too"

    I don't think anybody disputes this but even you have to admit that the people who put out closed source programs make up less then 1% of the population of this country. Not only that but the economic impact of these people is miniscule as well. You can add up all the software written by people and sold by people and combined revenue would not equal what MS makes in one second.

    So I would disagree with you. People by and large USE software and don't write it. Making it GPL helps people, making it PD or BSD helps corporations. Corporations are not the "public" nor do they have the public interest in mind.

    I can understand how the GPL can be seen as restrictive to corporations but I don't consider corporations to be a part of the public. The GPL is ideal if you mean to help human beings. If you want to benefit non human beings like corporations they you would have to go with BSD or something.

    I say stick with the GPL it's better for the public.

    Once again justify dropping the second bomb. You quoted me but everything in my quote is true.

    We were willing and able commit wholesale slaughter of civillians

    We slaughtered an entire city called hiroshima to demonstrate to the japanese that we would kill every single one of them if required.

    Then instead of asking for their surrender and accepting it (even though they were ready to surrender). We dropped another bomb just for the joy of killing japanse.

    There is no justification for dropping the second bomb. It was an act of pure evil that dwarfs even the holocaust.

    The ignorance of the typical american never fails to amaze me.

    What makes you think the iraquis spent most of their money on the military. We armed them gpretty good when we encouraged them to go war with iran. The people dying have died due to sanctions (of course we killed over a 100,000 during desert storm too).

    As for your all so ignorant remark about nagasaki. Maybe using that argument you could have justified dropping the bomb on hiroshima. But once you dropped the bomb and once they knew that you were willing and able to commit wholesale slaughter of civilians they were ready to surrender. But we dropped another bomb anyways just because we enjoyed killing japanese so much.

Oh I know every african is guilty because they harbor terrorists and they are not white so let's kill them all. Leave the italians, spaniards and the canadians alone though not all of them are guilty.

    Oh one more thing. Not every american is guilty becaue we funded bin laden but every pakistani is guilty because they funded the taliban so let's kill all the pakistanis too. Oh wait a minute maybe that's not right either.

    I know. let's kill everybody that our govt says is bad people. Yea that's the ticket. Anybody who does not agree are communist whiners so let's kill them too.
