Keep the corporate rights holder, after all we want films like LOTR financed, don't we?
NO! Not if it means that I'll be shackeled to a MPAA/RIAA approved device to watch or listen to it. 14 years plus a 14 year extention that costs $'s to get that is all you need. The mega corps. don't have a "RIGHT" to exist, if they can fine, but "we don't need no stinkin' laws" to keep them in business.
Sorry about that... I just finished reading about that dummy in congress. I've faxed and e-mailed my congress-bozos and let them know what I think. You can bet when my local guy comes by to ask for my vote this will be Mentioned.
Linux is toast on the desktop. But I do hope this works well enough for the people that have to use MS-Office and like Linux to not have to re-boot as often. It looks like those uptimes might get a little higher. I haven't purchased or used any MS products on my computer since 1995 so it won't do me much good.

Yeah, I know you were making a joke. I was just fishing for an extra karma point, but alas the subject is too old for that. I need to learn to use ";-)" a little more. Anyone that doesn't know what ROT13 is shouldn't be posting on slashdot.;-) I will get a -1 Offtopic now just to prove me wrong.
Well I said it was important *not good*. It was really a serious nomination, just the part about the law made it funny (Well maybe not). If you think about it the studios wrangeled over the DVD format for a long time and only agreed to release movies after they were told that it was safe. It turned out to be a case of "Don't count your money before the DVD is hacked" and now they are stuck with it because of the sucessfull media blitz they have given DVDs. They make so much money now it will be hard to stop releasing movies on DVD. That is why they will spend so much money in Congress and the courts to get their way.
I wonder how long it will be until the MPAA throws a shit fit?

I want to answer just haven't. The formatting kinda got screwed up. the headers were forged and it looks like he (?) used a highschool DNS server that has an open mail relay on it. Should I tell him I have the "vortex" he needs?;-) If you are a time traveler or alien disguised as human and or have the technology to travel physically through time I need your help!
My life has been severely tampered with and cursed!! I have suffered tremendously and am now dying!
I need to be able to:
Travel back in time.
Rewind my life including my age back to 4.
I am in very great danger and need this immediately!
I need as close to temporal reversion as possible, as safely as possible. To be able to rewind the hands of time in such a way that the universe of now will cease to exist. I know that there are some very powerful people out there with alien or government equipment capable of doing just that. I am aware of two types of time travel one in physical form and the other in energy form where a snapshot of your brain is taken using either the dimensional warp or an electronic device and then sends your consciousness back through time to part with your younger self. Please explain how safe and what your method involves.
I have a time machine now, but it has limited abilitys and is useless without a vortex.
If you can provide information on how to create vortex generator or where I can get some of the blue glowing moon crystals this would also be helpful. I am however concerned with the high level of radiation these crystals give off, if you could provide a shielding or other crystals which give off a north polarized vortex field just as strong or strong enough to make a watch stop this would be great.
Only if you have this technology and can help me exactly as mentioned please send me a (SEPARATE) email to: IneedTimeTravel@aol.com
I agree, Why doesn't Google just de-list all pro scientology websites and be done with it. It's still a free country. For a few more weeks anyway.

My local telco is laying fiber as fast as they can. Most of the towns they serve are connected by fiber or microwave. They have up-graded their connection to the internet backbone to a OC-3 to up the bandwidth asorbed by the new DSL customers. Since the telco is a cooperative and I am a "stock holder" because I have phone service I get a rebate check every year. I guess smaller is sometimes better.
It should be illegal to sign away all ideas and inventions to anyone
If it was, the recording industry wouldn't have much pull over the artist. A contract is binding, if you are dumb enough to sign it. People need to learn to read this stuff first. If you don't understand it then ask questions and get answers in writing.
Couldn't they setup a system on Internet2 for emergencys. It would be simpler because they wouldn't have to deal with so many routers and traffic will be lower anyway.
Yep... you're right 4 drives, It's been over 15 years.;-)
I have a 1541, 2 1571s, and a 85M CMD HD. That makes 4 alright. Damn those things were fun to play with. The really scary part is that I gave $400 for that 85M CMD drive!

Serial ATA Coming
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
No the serial port on the C64 were bit bangers. Just load up the buffer and toggle the bits thru. The drives had their own 6502 and memory, they set waiting for their ID to appear on the bus and then answered back to start the read/write. They worked pretty well for what they were. The SCSI drive has an adapter with a 6502 and memroy just like the standard 1571 drive, but with a custom driver that translates the serial bits to the SCSI bus. Works very well and is about 10 times faster than the 1571 drive.
Until now hardrives have been limited to a master and a slave on a single controller. The Serial ATA standard allows you to connect more than two in a daisy chain similar to SCSI.
I know this is a new "standard", but this is the way drives on my Commodore 64 were setup.They were not ATA, but I could have something like 5 drives as long as they had different IDs. Heck I even have a SCSI drive from CMD that attaches to the Commodre serial port.
If the programs are not released to the public can't you use GPL code and not release the source? As long as there isn't a restriction on Goverments in the GPL I don't see any problem. You will more likely get a negative reaction from from your CO just because he (she) doesn't think the program should be "Open Source". If you use existing open source code that isn't classified then I don't see any problem with that part of the code being released with your improvements as long as the improvements don't breach security.
I have to agree that the e-mail is a binding contract. It's just a different form of "talking". I also think they have to rule this way as long as the e-mail isn't forged, because they want to use e-mail as evidence at trials.
