Or better yet, show the harms that are obvious when guns are outlawed, namely, only outlaws will have guns, and it is impossible to keep the government under control.
I just dont get it. You and the guy above have completely opposing arguments, how can you both be insightful. One of you has to be wrong (unless we're all relativists here), so one of you is being insightful and one of you is speaking through your arse. Personally I think nyet is right but obviously someone disagrees with me.
perhaps the most utilitarian aspect of Freenet. Sending the same page across the atlantic every time someone on the other side of the world requests it is just lunacy.
Or you know, you could take a stand and say "hey, if he wants to do that let the copyright holder sue him, I aint the RIAA's whipping boy". You service providers who dilute due process disgust me.
If you guys at the EFF fuck up and the judge says "point to point file sharing is illegal" I'm going to be very very pissed. Outlawing a technology is just outrageous.
heh, in Australia the lawyers get a stat sheet for each person and they get a look at them as they go up to take the oath, but dont get to ask questions. I wrote on my form 'computer programmer' as occupation, I didn't even get out of my chair when they called my name.
What about now? The trial is over, is the jury allowed to read the last few days newspapers, jump on Slashdot, do their own investigation? And discovering that they made the wrong decision and performed a gross miscarriage of justice, do they have any recourse? After all, the end goal here is Justice!
If you read the article you would know that the worm enters your computer through the backdoor left behind by a malicious worm. Obviously if your machine is already backdoored you have no right to dis anyone who disables the it for you. No-one is suggesting that we all write hack-patch worms and propogate them constantly, they're simply saying, that if you machine is insecure enough to be actively penetrated by a malicious worm then you wont mind if we clean the worm off your machine and fix the bugs that it used to get into the machine in the first place. And if you do have a problem with that, I'm sure the 20 people who had their machine penetrated by someone using the worm's backdoor on your machine would have something to say about it. When your lame box is open to attack, you place me open to attack, even if it is just DDOS attacks.

How long would it take for the Woman to tell the Man to screw himself and his "partnership"?
Indeed I was. The problem is that you assume that every company that has an interest in developing software also has in interest in selling software and that is far from the trueth.
You dont even have to do any tricks to be accused of "cheating". Just have good aim and a steady hand or fast reflexes, or half a brain not to stand out in the open (he's camping!!).
I dont know if the few hundred thousand web hosting companies in existance would agree that Open Source makes for a lousy business model. Even if Eazel was keeping their source closed and giving away their lame file browser for free in the hopes of selling services it would still be a lousy business model, it has nothing to do with their source being open.
sorry, no. You have a responsibility to run a secure network. Period. When you're boxes get owned, my authorization tokens become compromised and when my network gets owned, someone else's authorization tokens get compromised. We're all connected together in this big web of trust and you wanna go leaving your network open to 13 year old kids.
When all the dolphins left earth via their own means they transmitted a message "so long and thanks for all the fish", which was the name of one of the books in the series.
You insult communists when you call Stallman a communist. His opinions are entirely centered around the individual. He talks about freedom and "rights" way too much to have any valid communist opinion. All his opinions deal with things that are copiable and as such are inately incompatible with the notion of property. Please, read something about communism before your criticize. There are strong arguments against communism, but you are not even close to stating them.

About 3 million years apparently.

How exactly is that giving you the tools to steal? Sheesh, at least get your stupid analogy right.
But sometimes they need a little help. :)

I would say that the players are ruining the spirit of fair play, not the drivers.

Maybe they were too busy cuttin' code to give a shit about PR?
"Microsoft, hmm, sounds familiar, don't they have a project on Source Forge?" Ahhh, that'll be the day.
we actually define a macro NOT_REACHED(); which causes a box to popup and give the file:line but it is essentially exactly the same.

hehe.. best ever.
This is what Mitnick used to say.. "I could transfer money out of any bank in the world into any account I want, but I dont, why are they after me?"
werd. IBM should spend that billion on giving developers a place to sleep. At least VA Linux has the brains to fork web space and shell accounts.
