Why does this whiner have a voice that people listen to? Because he has influence. How did he get influence? Truckloads of money flowing through the band he manages. Where did he get his truckloads of money? You.
Lesson: Stop giving these people money and they just might go away.
Your wallet is more powerful than you might think - who you give money to determines who influences your government in the future far more than your insignificant vote ever will.
Absolutely. I even bought the Mind Candy DVD so I could watch it without maintaining my 486 (and act 3 would crash on my system anyway if run from the start). Interesting you mention integration of video and audio - which is fantastic in SR for the first "act", but then they go and ruin it by throwing in a still image of some orange troll with knuckledusters just as the music reaches a crescendo. Totally ruins it for me.
I just figured all those "must be able to multi-task" was a covert affirmative-action strategy. You know, the old (15 years or so) myth that women multi-task better than men. Those ads basically read: "Woman Wanted", but without setting off any equal rights triggers.
What on earth for? The freaks who can't live without porno can get their fix from the net these days. It's not like that industry has anywhere near as much clout as it used to in the early days of VCRs, when perverts bought them up in droves from a desire for something more convenient than magazines and dodgy public theatres.
Why bother calling it Y2K38 except to sound cool? Y2038 uses the exact same number of characters and is more correct.
Y2K38, in engineering circles at least, would mean Y2.38K, or Y2380. To keep using the 'K' terminology from Y2K, you'd need to say Y2K038, which is, well, just silly.

fail2ban is great for that. I have my servers set to email me every time some joker tries three unsuccessful ssh logins in 10 minutes. It then disables that IP for a further 10 minutes. And try they do. I couldn't believe it the first time I installed it, how many pwned boxes are sitting there all day trying dictionary login attacks on public servers.
Of course disabling remote root logins is a must too.
And you know what? I completely agree with you. Now can you please repeat what you just said the next time a/. article comes up using the terms identity theft or code theft? Thanks ever so much.
Take away their revenue stream. And I'm not advocating downloading their* product for free. I'm advocating stopping "consuming" their products altogether. If you listen to their music, you're effectively endorsing it and giving value to what they're peddling.
Okay so we have the problem that mainstream music is a large part of our (western) culture. And that is a problem.
* Of course by "their" I mean "their member companies", since the RIAA itself doesn't actually produce anything apart from threatening letters and legal documents AFAIK.
If that means the end of the Britney Spears, then I think we're better off.
How do you figure?
I get that you don't like Britney Spears' music. I don't much care for it either for that matter, it's not my style at all. However there are several million adolescents who disagree with both you and myself on that particular subjective point. I'm still pretty sure that media poster-girl has quite a bit more talent than I do, and I'm a pretty okay musician.
Can you tell us what musicians you like so we can rag on them, please?
And why oh why is your country not populated by people who might be inclined to provide a set of concrete sneakers to anyone who sells them untrustworthy elections?
How on earth can you steal a secret? Is the original owner deprived of the information they had? Let's call it 'infringment' instead, not of copyright but of secret information.
I have to stop now. I thought I could keep up with the rainman "copying something isn't stealing"/. meme but I just can't do it.
My 4MB 386 booted DOS and the menu application launcher in less than 3 seconds. Windows 3.1 was a bit slower though, at about 10 seconds from POST screen.

That would be a rather apt title.

Uhh, isn't your post the original definition of FUD?
On hundreds of machines at the same time though?

So you're okay to call downloading music without permission stealing then?
One good way to stop the RIAA:
Take away their revenue stream. And I'm not advocating downloading their* product for free. I'm advocating stopping "consuming" their products altogether. If you listen to their music, you're effectively endorsing it and giving value to what they're peddling.

* Of course by "their" I mean "their member companies", since the RIAA itself doesn't actually produce anything apart from threatening letters and legal documents AFAIK.
Okay, but then neither is "identity theft", or "stealing secrets".
In these three cases no one is being deprived of anything. Except, arguably:
and finally:
So which is it? All or none of the above are theft?
(I'm not trying to tell you which, I'm asking)

I believe Cats could have said it better.
I see what you mean. The photo has a much warmer, fuller look about it than modern distorted colour.
Well to be fair, most of their audience will be American.

I'm glad they still label halal meat. That way I know which products not to buy.
But will the movie be safe, Emo? Emo, will it be safe? Emo!
I don't know, but I hope they include a Bitboys Glaze3D to get the best performance.
