  1. Re:Here's the thing... on Karl Auerbach Speaks Out on ICANN · · Score: 2

    I hate those kinds of sites. The only place a full address is actually need is when switching from SSL to non-SSL and places where a Location header is sent. It is trivial to use $ENV{'SERVER_NAME'} or something else there instead of hard coding the server name.

  2. Re:Support alternatives! on Karl Auerbach Speaks Out on ICANN · · Score: 2

    Yeah, apparently their scoop server is down.

    Will another time be soon. Got a website you can post those papers on?

    I should probably start pointing my OpenNIC domain at my server again.

  5. who cares on Hollywood Tastes New Copyright Victory - Act NOW · · Score: 2

    my TV is older than me, and my VCR isn't that much younger than me. They both work great (better than the newer TV/VCR my parents got a few years ago)

  6. Re:It can be slowed down... on Cringely on P2P · · Score: 2

    Yep its great fun browsing that using Samba.
    The Windows Network and FTP servers running inside our college network are the best sources for stuff.

  7. Re:You just don't get it.... on Cringely on P2P · · Score: 2

    And if they had actually counted on people USING the bandwidth they were given they wouldn't have to impose transfer limits and such now.

  8. Re:https/cookie problems on DHTML Bug Found in Mozilla 1.2 · · Score: 2

    Its common to use javascript to detect if cookies are enabled. If you disable the ability of javascript to do cookies it can falsely report that they are disabled. Luckily most sites don't really use javascript to read/write cookies, they only use it to check if they are enabled.

  9. Re:It can be slowed down... on Cringely on P2P · · Score: 2

    And when people just re-configure P2P apps to run on port 80?

  10. Re:cameras everywhere on Record the Surveillance Cams · · Score: 3, Informative
    but I also feel that if they can film you because you're in public, the reverse should be true.

    The problem is that a mall is private property, not public property.

  11. just look at the email on Can Copyright Apply to SPAM? · · Score: 4, Informative

    The email he has is from Legalservicesdp@aol.com.
    A few (minor) points:
    1. The person is obviously prentending to be from AOL (the correct email is AOLLegal)
    2. He doesn't include his name or company
    3. Bad grammer, lawyers take this VERY seriously!
    4. The fact that is was sent from an AOL account

    My $0.02: This one is safe to ignore until you get real legal documents.

  12. Re:how long will it be... on Linux Kernel 2.4.20 Released · · Score: 2

    I tend to use the prebuild debian kernel images too. I do occasionally compile a 2.5 kernel but it really isn't worth it that much. When the 2.4.20 kernel enters SID my computer will automatically download and install it during an update.

    I have a self compiled 2.5.44 kernel, but... you're right it really isn't worth the time it takes to configure, compile, and possibly try again.

  13. I got kicked out of our mall for something like th on Record the Surveillance Cams · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We were doing a "video scavenger hunt" and one of the things to find was a glass elevator. The closest one is in our mall so we went in and video taped it. Needless to say we had a nice run in with your friendly neighborhood rent-a-cops.

  14. Re:DeCSS is Dead on CA Supreme Court Saves LiViD, Pavlovich · · Score: 2

    Yeah that software in question works really well. I use it with both Ogle and VideoLAN (I haven't decided which is better yet) and the only issue I had was with a damaged disk. I also have css-auth and it truely is proof of concept code, nothing more.

  15. Re:What about Canada here? on CA Supreme Court Saves LiViD, Pavlovich · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who cares if its 'legal' or not. If you aren't using to steal movies (or view stolen ones) then go do it anyway. It's called civil disobediance, it can be a very powerful force.

  16. Re:Damn DMCA on DMCA Comments HOWTO · · Score: 2

    Not anymore, I defer you to UN "Peacekeeping Resolutions" and the War Powers Act.

  17. Re:does anybody care on FSF's Position On Proposed W3C "RF" Patent Policy · · Score: 2

    I think that the main point of the release is not necessarily to condemn the W3C's policy in any way, but to remind people that it isn't completely GPL compatible. The GPL is their license and it is important for them to take positions like this and clarify things how this works with the GPL.

    Thats what I say! I think last time I pointed that out I got modded down to troll.

  19. Re:Rights? What about.... on Verizon Sues to Stop Privacy Rules; Wants to Sell Call Data · · Score: 1

    I'm not a Verizon user, but what if I call a Verizon user or they call me? Both of my parents use Verizon cell phones (i refuse to get a cell phone) and they do call me from them.

    Yeah they have rights as a corporation, but what about my rights as a US citizen?

    Cool, I should go boot over to FreeBSD and try them, I got my 8200 with the geforce4 go.

  25. Re:How about... on Academic Network Censorship? · · Score: 1

    There are some programs out that do LAN searches and such. I know this because every once and awhile I get queries on my NetBios ports and I traced them back to someone with a LAN search engine website up on their resnet connection here.
