Reminds me of the time I mailed McCain about the Total Information Initiative. The mail I got back was simply that the Total Information Awareness program wasn't bad, it was to save me from terrorism. It pretty much told me I didn't know what I was talking about, and the when the vote is going to happen in senate.
Here in the US, if a bill is actually noticed and people get into a fluster about it, it's just pulled, rewritten, and slipped back in under another name. Repeat as necessary until one of the times hits a point where it slips under the radar.
Seriously. Everytime I've seen a protest here in the states, it's amounted to people being provoked by a line of police with riot gear on, being pushed back. If you are even thinking about interrupting the natural flow of things, or blocking businesses, then it's broken up by the police force.
Getting severely hurt is a major downside of some protests here in the states. Unless it's one of those picketing types that you hold a sign and walk around in a circle, but that just draws the media to laugh at you.
America is the poster child of what they do NOT want to become, so that's why USA was used.
It's a little hard to give other countries considering no other countries have the sheer number of companies (other than India). Even if they did, they haven't made any laws such as this one to use as an example.
However, this fight isn't over yet. Let's keep kicking ass. It not only helps keeping europe a saner place, maybe it someday also helps our american friends realize what they could achive if they would stop being nationalist pricks.
I think the correct wording for that would be "It not only helps keep europe a saner place, maybe it someday also helps our american friend's GOVERNMENT realize what they could achieve if they woudl stop being nationalist pricks.
noooo! create a giant skynet network of computers, and reserve a large amount of bandwidth. When an offending IP comes along, open up all of the nodes onto it.
Wow, I didn't realize they were using radar trancievers for that!
I appreciate the link, and thanks for filling me in, seriously.
As far as my old detector detecting laser.. well, it was a gift. I just wanted a detector:D Pretty much, if your hit by laser, a detector is of no use anyway as they've already nailed you.
Perhaps it doesn't depend so much on what party you belong to. Maybe it depends on whether you are always noticing what others take from you rather than what others give to you.
I believe you are right. Or maybe it's just realizing the whole scope of the environment.

Oh, and one other thing. I learned to touch type in a public school.
Yeah, what a coincidence, so did I. It was on those old IBM typewriters, didn't you love them?:) Graduating to Apple IIe keyboards felt so good after that. Missing a key does not make a person a nontypist.
Nice hyperbole, genius. The little kids haven't done anything wrong - yet. The criminal on the other hand deserves every moment of sphincter-tearing punishment his cellmate "Bubba" sees fit to dish out.
Soon he'll be distributing a whole new kind of virus.
And I suppose that putting files onto the net brings an anal raping charge? Remember, file sharers go to the same prison.
Creating a virus does not meet the criteria of physical demoralization that leave mental scars for a lifetime, but thanks for playing.
Excuse me, people put their own little sayings or sigs after their name
It wasn't a sig, that's why I commented. It was typed out manually.
Every one in my office knows I am a christian, I keep a bible on my desk, right next to my programming reference
Imagine the looks if you kept a Quaran or Satanic Bible beside your Programming Reference.
Is it your anonymity that gives you the freedom to bad mouth what I believe?
Nah, if I wanted anonymity, I would have posted Anonymous. I had the balls to login.
It matters not what you think about me professing my faith we I wish to.
Great, I'm happy you feel this way. Now, expect the same reprocussions as a person who types in "Allah Akbar!" along with some other reference to the Muslim religion that I cannot think of off the top of my head.
It's supposed to go into effect in October if I'm not mistaken. I know what you mean though, I use Yahoo Messenger, and ICQ. I *sometimes* connect to MSN Messenger, but very rarely. Usually just to see who's actually using it anymore.
Quite honestly it wouldn't affect me.... But considering how many times they've said that IE was an integral part of Windows, in essence you are already paying for IE, indirectly. That is, if you run Windows.
If I stand on the sidewalk outside your house and offer free crowbars to anybody interested in breaking in your house, you are not required to allow them to break and enter.
Actually you were stating large scale falacies like everyone uses MSN messenger.
Just because you don't know anyone who uses it doesn't mean it's unused.
To quote another person on slashdot (I wish I knew who it was, it was a good quote): "There are no black people at any of my friends houses, so therefore black people do not exist."

Lovely, no?
I'm with you there... :)
Any Unix Engineers needed in Germany?
Mass migration of geeks to the vaterland...
Too right.

There, now it's right
Or more precisely, "ces gens qui gardent pour etre envahies".

Now, I understand that some virii writers often leave some 'h3ll0 i j4m l33t' message, but this is a rarity, so I find it obsolete
Queue up the people arguing over virii versus viruseseses.
I think he meant "higher level" as an analogy to abstraction in software.
:)
With a sentence that says "A consistant interface allows the brain to function at a 'higher' level."?
That's definately referring to the brain
Ahhh okay, I thought the person was referring to the IDE controller, not the drive controller.
My mistake...

Share and enjoy.
The same as this.
It's a sig.. generic. His wasn't, it was purposely typed in at that specific time. That's why I commented.
HTH

About the same way as people who ask about it :P
Like giving them a wierd look, and ignoring them.

Probably because Miranda works on that other operating system.
You know.. Windows?
Gaim can do far more than 4 protocols, he was just using a nice even number.

You're absolutely right, so don't do it.
Geez.

To quote another person on slashdot (I wish I knew who it was, it was a good quote): "There are no black people at any of my friends houses, so therefore black people do not exist."
This from a person with the signature that says:
lilo: linux init=/bin/bash - Instant root without password
I guess your not much of a *nix "nerd" then.
PASSWORD your lilo/grub, jesus.
They can provide internet access, yet block certain server/port combo for "security reasons".
It's done alot of times for legitimate reasons, but those are usually well known spammers or irc attackers.
Everytime you guys complain and say something stupid, you only make Microsoft more and more pretty.
A turd wrapped in aluminum foil with ear-ring hooks is still a turd.
Nuff said.
