Justice Steven's opinion for the Court note that arguments favoring the ratification of the Constitution advanced in the Federalist Papers were published under fictitious names. Justice Stevens said "quite apart from any threat of persecution, an advocate may believe her ideas will be more persuasive if her readers are unaware of her identity. Anonymity thereby provides a way for a writer who may be personally unpopular to ensure that readers will not prejudge her message simply because they do not like its proponent." Stevens concluded "Under our Constitution, anonymous pamphleteering is not a pernicious, fraudulent practice, but an honorable tradition of advocacy and of dissent. Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. "
" The Court relied in part on a 1960 opinion, Talley v. California, which held that the First Amendment protected anonymous speech."
... is a 17-year-old who is accused o child pornography for taking nude photos of themself with a digital camera. I actually did take "interesting" photos of myself, when I was 17 - I'd like to see some right-winger take me to court for it. That would make my day. I'm 19 now, but I think I'll take some risque pictures of myself tonight and post them on the web... It'll be fun to see how my college reacts, if nothing else:)
CP4break.zip contains cp4break.html - this is the documentation. And, the injunctions don't apply to J&S - they settled. The injunctions apply to myself, Bennet Hazelton, and the others who host the stuff. Hin to mirrors: renaming the file, especially if you make a tarball of it, will throw your ISPs off - the letter they send specifies the filename - but only gives the direcrories of infringers (like me).
That would be true if the free market was a good thing. It's not. Why should I put the freedom of a corporation above my own freedom. Did you hear the man? His g/f cannot do things like get a job. Talk about a lack of freedom. Corporate freedom should be restricted if it infringes on my freedom. The "Free Market" should be read as the "Free if you are rich market." This case is outrageous - you can keep your "free" market. I'd rather live in a place where *I* can be free.
Java 2 is... interesting. While Swing is a nice API, it is 10x slower than AWT, on the whole. This is because it is 100% java, rather than native. If you don't need speed, Java 2 is OK. If you do, wxWindows is a crossw-platform widget set for C++ and Python (maybe others?).
And at times it would have been nice to have help. I guess my parents tried to get me help - but the psychologists they sent me to seemed more interested in dragging information out of me than helping me. They cared about what my parents wanted, and not what I needed.
Years later, I met a person who really would have helped me. She was kind, intelligent, had good ideas, and had years of experience - if I could have talked to her, back in 7th grade, when I was a fucked up little freak (really!) I would have been much better. As it is, stories from 7th percolated up and were not forgotten even when I had graduated.
If you want to help people, learn from my experience. Offer a help line where kids can call, and talk to someone who cares. Allow local volunteers to join your organization, and point kids who need help to them. An hour per week is enough - just a time to unload, relax, and share with an adult who remebers what it was like to be young.
The other thing you can do is to offer training to schools in how to make a less hostile environment. There should be a person at every school who kids can talk to. No one should ever be barked at for wearing a spiked collar, or beaten up because they wore the wrong color clothing.
Note: I'm not scary now, and I get along with my parents. I was one of the lucky ones; I went to a school that did care.
LOL, I meant it as a joke - it's a work of fiction:). Although, it does bring up an interesting hypothesis - maybe Stephenson had it stolen - I know he would enjoy owning one... Of course, by that logic, I would be a suspect as well... If I were rich enough. BTW, Cap'n Crunch really is good with whole milk, eaten out of a huge spoon - it just doesn't chew itself.
If you don't know how these machines were cracked, you've obviously never read the Cryptonomicon. I highly recommend it for a factual approach to code-breaking. Incidentally, it is not possible to eat Cap'n Crunch in the way described - it does not chew itself. (Moderators, it's funny, not flamebait)
As I heard the story, (this wass back in Old Reed) a homeless, insane person brought the gnomes to the tunnels, and preached to them. I would go exploring the tunnels, but the school is already pissed at me for host the Cyberpatrol thing.
"What is wrong with Demon? They fought an expensive court battle they knew they were unlikely to win on a matter of principle, trying to protect their users freedom of speech. How many other ISPs do you think would do the same?"
Heh, my *college* wouldn't even fight a legal battle that the ACLU would defend, that had no merit, and that was the *right* thing to do. I think Demon did a good thing, and settling is not too bad, especially considering the number of places that don't honor cancels.
The DMCA presents an interesting twist in this case.
The story: Yesterday I was called into the Computing and Information Services dept at my school. They said that under the DMCA, in Copyright cases, they had to remove the materials immediately, as a "good faith effort" or they could be held liable. They further said that even if I was right, they would rather not fight a lawsuit. "We would rather use our money in other ways." So I took down my school mirror of the software, and put one up on Geocities (http://www.geocities.com/novalis_dt) OK, but consider the implications of the DMCA - you *can't* choose to fight the man, 'cause if you do, they go for your ISP. And *everyone* has someone as their ISP.
A Republican? Being accused of Homophobia? Frankly, it's not surprising, given the history of the party, and the current practices of its presidential candidates. The fact is, you're a member of a group that *does* discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. That's your choice. No offense was intended by this post. I'm aware that not all Republicans are homophobes, but the party line is homophobic.
At the time copyright was created, the only motive for making copies of something was commercial - you wanted to sell them. It wasn't practical to typeset a book you bought, and run off a few copies for your friends. That's even true with Xerox. Things are different now, and we need new laws for new times.

If I take a picture of an 18-year-old woman, and paste the face of a 5-year-old girl on it, I can distribute this as much as I lile.
Interesting, huh?

Have Fun!
OK, then let's start up a national, adult hotline too. But it may be better to have a separate youth hotline for a few reasons.
:)
1. Save The Children gets funding
2. Kids have different psychological issues.

I coulda sworn that it operated on 128 bit quadfloats... but I could be wrong. The way it does it is irrelavent.
Whee! I was forced to remove that one.

Ideas cannot have color. Something cannot be both colorless and green. Thus, there are no colorless green ideas.
