99% of Win32 software created 5 years ago will work on Windows ME.
You are the one who doesn't know what he is taking about.
And when Microsoft tells you that your software, which won't run on windows ME, is too obscure to bother with, you will understand the power of Open Source.
I dunno, if you axe the bandwidth hogs (of which there are but a few), you would probably see profits go up. Revenue will, of course, go down, but not as much as cost.
The admin runs the network. As such, he is the authority. They have the right to make choices for the network because that is their job. What is this point of law thing? The only place this touches the legal system is with the contracts between the customer and the Network provider.
The admin runs the network. He does whatever the hell he wants in pursuit of that goal (within the bounds of the law right?). Try and show me a law that says otherwise.
How are they to know who's vulnerable and who's not? Anyway, servers are probably not supported, though they are allowed, so they're not inconveniencing anyone who actually needs the webserver (because they'd be hosted somewhere if they did). Give it a week or two, see what happens
It is a crime to use DeCSS to remove region encoding.
Good thing that's impossible. DeCss doesn't remove region coding, it removes CSS. Region coding is implemented in a particular byte which can be modified after removing CSS.
It's much easier to change the DVD player so that it can be any region you want.
Except you don't make any argument as to why this is different than ANYTHING we have now. Police make the same mistakes. People videotape in public now, and can turn over those tapes to the police if they thought they saw a criminal.
No one has given a satisfactory answer as to why extending the eyes of the police is any different to putting more police on the street.
The difference here is that the scale is massively inflated. Everything that passes a videocamera can be subjected to a pattern match against suspicious people, be they criminals or political dissidents. In the volume we are considering, false positives will be a given, and since it comes from an impartial machine, it sounds a whole lot more convincing.
Not to mention that cops will use it to stalk ex girlfriends, just like they've been reported to be doing in England.
If I install Win2K or NT on a box connected to the net right now, there is a high probability I will be infected before I can even apply the patch. That's a fact.
Tha's why you don't connect a machine externally until you've patched it.
There were these square concrete things with cloth tops scattered all over the damn place (stackable too!). Okay to sit on, just don't sit on an edge. If you're not seeing them, maybe the frat boys stole them for their houses...
Info Tech?! WTF is Info Tech? That sounds like something you'd see at a community college. By
any chance, does it come out of the Lally School of Manglement?
He didn't break any US laws. He did some stuff in Russia that's illegal in the US.
That's like saying that I can be arrested in Germany because I collect Nazi helmets.
The difference between CmdrTaco and an astroturfer is that CmdrTaco doesn't misrepresent himself (when posting as CmdrTaco). It's not his real name, but it is consistent, and it forms the basis of a real online identity.

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
It is a feature - the curve allows it to be drawn more quickly.

You do realize that IIS (the thing that allows Code Red to propagate) only comes with win2k server, right?
Bundling server software with win2k was stupid
How stupid do you have to be to buy Win2k server and not know that it had server software?

Because you're not using DeCSS. It merely enables the change.

Not that Sealand. This one's off the coast of Britain and is its own country
I've never seen a home user given a guaranteed QOS. It's always been "You'll take what we give and you'll like it."
You believe that you can accept and reject packets as you like.
And he can. It's only vigilante when he's evading the legitimate authority. Since he is the authority, it's just despotic.
If you believe that you can do no wrong, then that is precisely a point of law that you've failed to grasp
There is no law which states that you must accept all packets, so i'm not sure how you can fail to grasp a point of it.
Obviously no one wants that to happen to them
Come again? I'm sure that guy didn't mind explaining himself to his boss, safe in the knowledge that he had contributed to law enforcement somehow...
And don't forget the cameras can work both ways... they will help identify police abuse.
Yes, tell me where i can find a video feed from inside the Police department

Divx pirating is strictly small-time. All the proffesionals use the previously mentioned press & copy of the media.
In order to actually pirate enough to make a studio notice, you pretty much need a DVD press. Otherwise, who's going to buy your illicit goods?
Actually, alot of the Student union furniture at RPI is based on concrete. Damn engineers should stick to canoes or something.
Do they still have the joke where Comp Sci people never actually work?
don't they sell usb port clusters with all the standard stuff (serial & parallel, for instance)?
I've got a Moral Compass, but wherever I go, it keeps pointing at blind hedonistic lust. Go figure.
If this the Keith Henson of Scientology fame, then his reasons were more likely safety related than financial.
CoS owns the prison system where he would be incarcerated and there is real doubt as to whether he would have survived the experience.
He didn't break any US laws. He did some stuff in Russia that's illegal in the US. That's like saying that I can be arrested in Germany because I collect Nazi helmets.
This was funny 2 years ago, when it was new.
