Too bad you're a moron. Copyright holders don't "own" anything. They have a limited and exclusive right to distribute a work. Well, until retards like yourself start convincing others that it's ownership, senatards might decide to remove the "limited" clause.
Only, I'm having some difficulty deciding who to put in the background, so I thought I'd let the Slashdot crew help.
Who should star in this new public service announcement?
A) A generic arab B) Osama bin Laden C) Saddam Hussein D) Richard Reid (aka the Shoebomber) E) Write-in: Please nominate someone
As for the top right symbol, I think that should be up for debate, but to start the ball rolling, might I suggest a flaming jetliner? Or the twin towers?
Thanks, I can't wait to finish it!
PS Please take note, it's a work in progress, so cut me some slack if you notice some minor flaws...
Me, I'm getting what will be the jewel of my collection, a Intergraph Interpro 6000. Clipper C300 (I think) cpu, which is weird even by my standards. But the hard drive is gone... while it uses SCSI which is easy to replace, the original operating system is long gone. CLIX. Try ebaying for that. And you've all heard of 3w3 or 13w3 monitor connectors... but 24w7? It makes my brain hurt just looking at the thing.
And how about my PDP-11/04 ? I can't even be sure what the Xylogics unibus card is, though it has to be storage of some type. 8 inch floppy? Tape controller? SCSI? Who knows. Not that I have too many friends with the expertise to help me load RSX on it, even if I knew.
Heh. I still want that Cisco AGS+... more proof that I don't know when to quit.
The scanner supplies it in the form of microwave energy. The more primitive versions of this would rely on a coil, that recieved the microwave, turned it into just enough juice to power the transmitter and send data.
I think with this though, that they've managed to integrate it into a single piece of silicon though.
Ok, so are we gonna have a contest for the most fucked up thing to hack your clothes to scan as? Sextoys of one variety or another seem to obvious, though I bet you'd get the best faces when the security guard sees 27" Monster Double-headed Jackhammer Dildo pop up on the screen.
PDP-1 was offered for sale in 1950-1951 at about $100,000 retail, iirc. They probably meant the PDP-11, which is a heck of a machine. Wish I had a Qbus backplane, instead of unibus though. If I am ever able to write a ethernet driver that will fit in a few K so it can coexist with RSX though, this might be fun. If nothing else, I want to be able to do DECNet with my linux server...
For this reason, if a space elevator can make massive continuous solar power a reality (although I've always had my doubts about the safety of gigawatt masers in orbit), then I'm all for it.
I personally don't understand why we need masers if we have the space elevator. Run a power line up the goddamn thing, and be done with it.
Besides, hydrogen is far from an ideal fusion fuel. The only reason no one considers anything else is that the few places willing to fund research have hard-ons for tokamak fusion. Yeh, a 10ft liquid lithium shield presents no engineering problems at all, I say we go for it!
Personally, once I solve the symetry problems, I'm personally going to use a small M/AM breeder. My neighbors better hope containment doesn't fail.
The out of band data signal on digital cable TV. Sometimes referred to as the FDC. I know the frequency, and I'm fairly certain of the modulation. I have a pretty good idea of what sort of data to expect on it, but I would like to be able to know for sure, one way or the other.
The signal I want to listen to is likely QPSK (though I can't be sure, there is a slight chance it is QAM16). Speed is approximately 2.5mps... exact frequency is 75.25mhz (though I'd like to be able to do up to about 130mhz later on). Other than that, I don't know much else about it... kinda the reason I want to listen in.
The reciever/sound card sounds cool, but I still don't really know what I need.
Screw that. I just want a hardware board that will pump the digital bitstream into my computer. QPSK signals, in the 70-130mhz range... what do I need? Besides the seemingly required doctorate in RFE/EE ?
Do they make a distinction between local network traffic and remote, though?
Hell, my own private network (in a 3 bedroom house) is capable of letting a dozen people download 2GB every hour, without hiccuping. Hell, they could almost upload the same, for that matter. As long as it stays local... once it hits that cable modem, things chnage drastically.
If they do, then someone needs to setup a mirror of a few of the important distros and other big packages, and be done with it. Let them download every single distro, at every minor revision... no one will care, as long as they use the local mirror.
And if they make no distinction, then they are just a bunch of asswad Hitler Youth, mindlessly aping Frau Rosen and Herr Valenti.
PS I always intentionally break Godwin's law. So ha!
Then you simply haven't read my paper. Try it, and then come back and tell me how they could do so, without destroying every pretense of freedom they have. I'd like to know.
My apologies. Don't often misread things quite that badly.
On that note, I can't think of a damn thing to be done about the problem, as much as I would like to. If I thought my Metanet meme was ever going to thrive, I might suggest that we all pick up and leave for it. Seems to be off to a slow start, though.
You see, copyrighted works aren't owned, rather the copyright holder is granted an exclusive, though limited monopoly. That is, they are the only ones allowed to sell software, which is more than OK by me. I think copyright is a great idea, as it is expressed in the Constitution of the United states. If anything, I might even lengthen it a bit, 14 years is somewhat short.
However, there are politicians and executives that never learned that they can't steal justice, law enforcement, or the goverment, that it isn't theirs to take. So, before you start serving life sentences to 14 yr olds that can't afford $20 for an album that costs all of 75 cents to produce, why don't you do us all a favor, and take your holy war to these subhuman pols and CEOs.
For one thing, both parties have to own all the land in between, how likely is that?
I have no idea how much shipping would be, for a spool that big... it might double the price easily (which would still be reasonable, imo). But, if I understand things correctly, this stuff has the equivalent of conduit attached, so that's not an expense. You'd also need to hire someone to polish the ends, and put some connectors on it... but maybe someone with the tools wouldn't mind earning an extra $100 on the weekend, for what would only be 20 minutes worth of work. Alot of work, and even a fairly large chunk of cash, but it would last decades. Re-usable in ways that we probably can't even imagine at this point.
Slashdot Mirror
Those of us who do research this stuff have tried to warn people. My god, believing a poorly worded ebay auction?
Ugh.
My digital cablebox site will tell you what little is known. If anyone wants to help, and designs PCI cards or demodulators for a living...
I'm curious as to which ethnic population Ronny was supposed to have wiped out (or attempted to) ?
Not that any of the others were ever genocidal, it's just that it's a bit easier to guess why a fool like you would say such.
Too bad you're a moron. Copyright holders don't "own" anything. They have a limited and exclusive right to distribute a work. Well, until retards like yourself start convincing others that it's ownership, senatards might decide to remove the "limited" clause.
No, you have it wrong. The RIAA public service announcement for the Jewish demographic, would be...
"When you pirate MP3s, you're downloading genocide!"
But that's a totally different poster. Let me finish the terrorism one first, then I'll do more of them.
I'm sure most people have seen this poster...
When you pirate MP3s you're downloading Communism
But I was inspired to update it to reflect the current administration's agenda...
New and improved!
Only, I'm having some difficulty deciding who to put in the background, so I thought I'd let the Slashdot crew help.

Yeh, because you play with mundane stuff.

Heh. I still want that Cisco AGS+... more proof that I don't know when to quit.
Though strange that the arabs think he's undead. He always did have that zombie personality...
Another AC with an attitude, and not enough sense to tell what details were relevant to the discussion. Fuck off asshat.

Am I the only one who never wants to know what God used to make the doughnut hole?

Being that the TMS9900 in the ti99 was crippled with only 256 bytes of memory, yeh you might need a few expansion modules.
Leave it to TI to hobble the first affordable 16bit CPU in an 8bit mainboard just slightly more ram than the Atari 2600.
For this reason, if a space elevator can make massive continuous solar power a reality (although I've always had my doubts about the safety of gigawatt masers in orbit), then I'm all for it.
I personally don't understand why we need masers if we have the space elevator. Run a power line up the goddamn thing, and be done with it.
Never heard of a breeder reactor, have you?

Let me guess, it will be another $1300 card.
*frown*

Then you simply haven't read my paper. Try it, and then come back and tell me how they could do so, without destroying every pretense of freedom they have. I'd like to know.
I have a good idea. Why don't we build a new internet?
See sig for details.
Telecommuting isn't the only thing it is used for. Which makes the policy suck even more than it would otherwise.
My apologies. Don't often misread things quite that badly.
On that note, I can't think of a damn thing to be done about the problem, as much as I would like to. If I thought my Metanet meme was ever going to thrive, I might suggest that we all pick up and leave for it. Seems to be off to a slow start, though.
No?
Not yours?

Or, failing that, drop dead.
You paypal the other guy $2, and he express mails half a dozen CD's.
I'm not completely sure that it could be done.
For one thing, both parties have to own all the land in between, how likely is that?

I'd certainly be considering it, if I were him.
