  1. Re:This is why we need CNN, ABC, NBC, WSJ on Virus Scares and False Authority Syndrome · · Score: 1

    i must disagree as well,
    or perhaps your wording is less accurate to what you mean...
    but NO ONE NEEDS TV at all
    much less the more popular network channels that simply have acquired the best ratings through various means of advertising and other examples of MIND TRASHING or REALITY covering .... sorry i meant sitcoms... sorry i meant anything on TV that isn't presenting factual information with several opinions / resources to back it up (NOT INCLUDING THE OTHER STATIONS!)

    sorry for being so harsh, but i really dislike anything that wastes time
    - this is just my opinion

  2. Re:Authority is effective on Virus Scares and False Authority Syndrome · · Score: 1

    good call Blue,
    i attend a technical school in boston, but for my 1 of my 4 social gen-eds i have to take, i took psychology and we watched the very recordings of milgrim's experiment.
    watching the people inflict the shocks was very disturbing, another disturbing thing was the laughter that came from the class EVERY time the switch for the shock was implemented
    we discussed the experiment in length, analyzing other situations where authority had control despite people's intentions or normal values
    other situations included WWII nazi germany and many stories from early black oppresion in american history
    as sick as it all was we came to the conclusion that each individual must be held responsible (if possible) or the masses would forever be able to continue these fearful acts without responsibility
    it is indeed scary that masses will obey the voices of authority although it sometimes conflicts with their values. all we can do is act as individuals and......
    listen to no authority?
    or refrain from making snap decisions from one opinion?
    somewhere in between the answer must be found

  3. Re:So? on Earth to Media: This kid is still in jail · · Score: 2

    this discussion seems to be getting off topic, katz posted the original thread declaring the first amendment infriction that a man charged by the DMCA should not be kept in jail, "while lawyers get to slug out what ought clearly to be a civil, not a criminal, issue. "
    and closes hinting that if the current Skylarov trend continues, the internet may become a very censored place

    "They will have permanently altered the First Amendment and the protection it has always accorded free, controversial and offensive speech. And the Net will become a very different kind of place, not only for coders and hackers but for any person who loves the unique freedom it has offered for nearly a generation. "

    too much of these threads argue the morality of reverse engineering, whereas i am not sure if that is what he was even charged for: and definitely not the purpose of the thread

    basicly:
    what is he being charged for exactly...

    and how DOES reverse engineering adobe put someone in jail, while reverse engineering every version of doze98 that has been cracked hasn't landed everyone else in jail?

    (and doesn't it seem nutz that the russian government isn't involved yet?)
