Now my laptop will be in direct compitition with me for the "good stuff".
The bright side is that there will be an employment explosion in the Newport, TN moonshine business, because everybody knows those guys make the best clear they are!
I knwe someone must have stolen your lifeforce yesterday and replaced it with a little common sense. Now the good old, whacked out, Jon is back.
Have you (or any of your other babbling social justice bretheren) ever left your bedroom and looked at the real world? Didn't think so.
When a non-liberal arts person shows up and attempts to speak with artsy types, guess what? The get the same crap you are talking about. When an artsy flowery guy shows up in a group of business guys, or athletic guys or (fill it in with something besides artsy) they get the same crap too. Well, you get the crap if you try to impose your views on others right away.
THAT IS THE WAY PEOPLE ARE. Cross cultural, cross sexual, that is the way they are.
Here is an experiment, show up at some activity with one of these "oppressed" groups, like a NOW meeting or a lesbian happy hour, or something sponsored for one race, and just try to speak in terms of equality (true equality). See if you can hang around longer than it takes for that group to surround you like antibodies crushing Raquel Welch in "Fantastic Voyage".
Katz, your own biases are not facts, get out from your bubble and see the real world for what it is, biased.
My understanding of the law is that civil lawsuits are easy to file, just a matter of submitting the right paperwork.
Throwing them out of court is even easier, the judge can even decide not to hear ANYTHING in the case and not even let the case see the inside of a courtroom.
I still cannot understand why on earth any US court would even hear a case like this.
Although, I am very happy to see the community going wild spreading DeCSS around. Check the announcement and DeCSS code in numerous posts under this thread. (no, this is not a troll, this is for real), one of the posts details a DeCSS distribution contest with lots of brilliant methods described. Source sprinkled throughout the thread too!
Not the best analogy, since you own your car and nobody is trying to stop you from just leaving it in the garage until it is worth more than you paid for it.
Nope, don't think so. There are many forms of being that are much worse than domain speculators and there is nothing wrong with domain speculators anyway. Whomever gets to the domain first should have it and I do not care if anybody agrees with me.
The press release has more details, but it appears that Zero Knowledge is privacy company which promises the ability to post, browse and all those good things anonyomously.
APPARENTLY? There have been tons of stories about these guys ever since they began offering the beta and it should be no suprize at all to anybody that follows security just a little bit.
Check their own site for stories that go back for months, including ZDNET, the Wall Street Journal, CNNin, C|Net, Newsweek, InternetNews, The Village Voice, Wired, Time.com and the list goes on for 2 very long pages.
Yea, the new suit part might be news, but the what it "apparently" does part is old now.
It was not another "the world is ending", "the sky is falling", etc. article.
But please tell me how a few words from someone in response to your words restrict free speech? It seems that the irrational world many people on the 'net make for themselves becomes their "real" world. They seem to think that mere words actually are some sort of action. In practice, words to your face are the ones to think about, stupid nastygrams might as well be ignored.
Granted, they may fortell SOME action, but you sure can not prove it from the history of the 'net (if only a small fraction of the threats of violence on the net were carried out, every programmer, webmaster, newscaster and activist would be in their grave by now).
No matter what you believe in or know or think, someone sending you a nastygram should not stop you from continuing to speak as you wish. If it does then you should seek psyciatric help.
BTW, I do like your sloppy writing style perhaps I can create a Katzbot similar to the Mattbot on my drudge report perody site.
Actually, I was listening to the thing when I heard the idistinguishable sounds of antiaircraft fire. It gave me flashbacks to many hours of "Traveler" while my lame friends were playing D&D.
And please note, jabber pinged upon the solution to the so-called lander "disappearance".
Are you guys so self absorbed with your new found riches and power, all of those things the Honorable Mr. Katz warns us of (to no end, btw) that what your users post is no longer important to you in the least little bit?
(hey, it's a joke, don't hit me with a penguin bag)
Last I checked, neither of these are supported in the kernel nor in any distribution (ok, fuzzy on USB but have been on the lookout for winmodem support).
Are there any plans to provide winmodem support in your distro so I can make my laptop useful under Linux?
Investing in a company with 8 employees and a good idea (hopefully good talent) could work well, as opposed to the usual - having a good idea, a zillion employees and the "appearance" of automation or creativity.
Maybe I am naieve, but something like this has got to work sometime.
...of being repeated in 10 hours just like this was.
But it will not because the corporate behemoth Andover has silenced John Katz in some Microcoft mind reeducation camp along with that pitcher from the Atlanta Braves!
John!!! The sky is really falling!!!
Now back to the Andover approved comments and "content".
(No, duh, I am really just kidding, this is intended as humour, get a sense, k?)
Scheiner was interviewed for an upcoming documentry (working title is Hackers, Crackers and Lamers) and makes fantastic down-to-earth sense about the subject of ethics in just a few seconds of screen time. I hope he is in the finished product longer, I only saw an 11 min. promo).
I do hope it has all of the retarded hysteria of the D&D made for TV movie of the late 70's. For you younger surfers, D&D had the "evil" reputation of "doom" and other computer games today.
The stupid made-for-tv movie pretended to have something to do with a real life D&D player that committed suicide and, of course, the game was blamed.

Sounds like this could be the beginning of the practical multiprocessor laptop market.
If the chips live up to their hype, I will not have to wait for Wine to run everything I like AND everything the folks at work want.
I want 4!!!
Does this mean that I can use my laptop winmodem by Christmas? Oh please? Please? Please? I hope so, that is what I want for Christmas.
Also, I hope this means that sonn I can stop running a dual-boot laptop just because they use win. apps at work.
Yes, simple dreams are often the most difficult.

hear! hear!
finally, a slashdotter with common sense
Nope, don't think so. There are many forms of being that are much worse than domain speculators and there is nothing wrong with domain speculators anyway. Whomever gets to the domain first should have it and I do not care if anybody agrees with me.
BTW, I do not engage in that activity.
It will not be bad if EVERY domain name using "Linux" in it got the same nastygram from the lawyers.
Now, if this is selective then that becomes hypocracy.

Thank goodness that this alliance is moving forward with the encryption issue.
There has never been a GOOD reason to restrict this technology and there still is no GOOD reason to have any remaining restrictions.

You spelled KanaDUH wrong.

Don't you gius watch TV?
GE (or somebody) already has a commercial for a fridge like this (general topic, web enabled appliance).
A repair guy shows up at the door to fix a fridge that has not broken yet.
Sort of a reverse of Tom Tuttle in the movie Brazil
The really stupid thing is that stuff like this is EVER even an issue in court!
