Hope to see those guys in jail! (Uhm: See - not Meet)
If they are persecuted for such, and it is proven that their income and fortunes are built on spam/illegal acts, will the state be able to confiscate their house etc and sell them? I really hope so.
Even better; These guys should be sent to a well known jail in Iraq.:-)
Real were a few years back revealed to be using spyware.
Nothing can forgive them for this.
Thus; real is a spyware company and should be avoided.
Just because they have supposedly changed their ways, felt that CONSUMERS SHOULD BE RESPECTED since their life in the market depend on them, or become better at hiding their spyware does not make REAL an alternative on the desktop or anywhere anymore.
Real is just another spyware company and I'll be glad once they are run out of business.
I like what this university is doing, Offering the students a chance to express their view on the subject, and not be forced to pay lots of money into something they dont want, dont want to use, and will not use, or can not use anyway.
What if you loose all your fingers in a freak pigeon chasing accident and somebody needs them to activate the nuclear warhead, or find the secret statsh of pr0n on your file server?
It kinda looks like "warcraft 3 meets Cartoons meets another camp-the-spawn-level-threadmill-game", but I suppose the beta will be fun, assuming my internet connection gets up and I have been picked.
Do they send out emails TODAY to the lucky 'winners', or have they been sent out ages ago?
Poor Management, Xbox, Greed, Suits and Deadlines are probably the more likely reason.
And maybe because crappy games sell - while stellar games - for a smaller audience - do not sell as much, why should'nt they make a hack'n slash that will sell a million titles, instead of a RPG that will sell 100,000.
However, do you want to pay money to your ISP so that Celine Dion can get money? (Well, she wont, but say for arguments sake that she did)
I dont want to pay extra money to my ISP just because some wad somewhere downloads a metallica album, why should I pay money to my ISP for crappy music?
Compulsory License sounds ok - but it still means you're paying money for a lot of shit you dont want.
I can pay money directly to the composer when I buy their CD - no need for compulsory license or other crap - and best of all - RIAA/The Enemy/trashy musicians wont get a single $ from me.
If you're not listening to their music - why should they get money from you?

Also: This sounds like a legalization of downloading music from the net. After all - you've paid for it.
Anyway; The ISS and the MIR stations - according to reports sound awfully like the space station in Armageddon (the movie - not the biblical doomsday).
"Russian Equipment, American Equipment.. its all made in Taiwan!"
What I am afraid of is that the ISPs will decide - at a point - that their filtering is soo good you should no longer have the option to opt out.
THEN it becomes dangerous.
Yes, allow people to have filtering - but ALWAYS allow them to have the option of opting out.
Knowing how some of the larger ISPs work I am quite sure that a point will come in time - when filtering will be non-optout-able... and I will loose emails in the process.
Slashdot Mirror
I would report him.
I'd watch his execution.
I'd celebrate when my inbox reads (16) and the Junk Mail *ONLY* reads (250) for one day.
One down - a few thousands to go.
Aha. .no => not english :-)

How about we Prosecute AND Persecute them?
Both Dmitri and Jon are still free men and were not sentenced to anything, at least in the case of Jon.
So, where are the criminals?
Well, once the war on terror is completed they can always declare a war on China and go after a country that aids and harbors spammers. :-)
I'm sorry, but its to late to change your ways.
Would you forgive Saddam just because he apparently has become a much nicer person.. "I can change, I can change."

Yay for Freedom of choice!
Try opening some web pages in all of them instead of just having 107 "about:blank" tabs :-)
Virus and Worm authors are our friends.
They help raise awareness and defeat the weak.
This is computerized darwinism. The strong survives.

Incomplete would perhaps be more correct.
I was refering to SteamLife 2.
Funny reply though =)
Yes.
Blame Microsoft for having a unfinished product go way past its 'release date'.

It's not a military camp, students would like to have fun every once in awhile.
Thats what you have drugs and booze for.
And I love it that soon you will have to Subscribe to windows update to get your useless AV updates and 'security patches'.
Or you have your network segmented so that you can take down parts of the network while the others are up and running.
What makes you so sure they do? :-)
You cant pin the demise of Black Isle on piracy.

I wonder how a Virus Attack (Specially Crafted) on Wall STreet would play out.. Could be interesting.
(Or,maybe they run Norton SystemWorks... )
Maybe because they dont want to watch through a bunch of commercials and warnings and what-not to watch a movie they have purchased and own.
I've declared a jihad on DVDs with region-restrictions.
Unless said artist owns the label himself.
