This is fantastic. I knew google would turn around and face these idiots!
Thank you google, I have faith that you'll stand up to these rediculous,... well nevermind. They're idiots, and I have faith that you will stand up to them.
Hey, nice theme on slashdot when you respond to an apple category. Avoid the word 'aqua' anywhere and you'll be okay.
SHIT, I just said the word!
But anyway... Picture this in your head, a bunch of grade school kids fighting like little idiots (read: various corporations). He hit me first! Wahh! Mommy! This is what I think of when I hear things like this.
Let them go after Apple. I hope it becomes highly visible. They can probably get all the lawyers they need, because remember MS in part owns their asses.
There are still a large amount of people living where High Speed surfing isn't available. What good is a "cool site" when it takes 2 or 3 minutes to load to a browser?
Well said. It is sad all the developers who just assume that because they have broadband at home, everyone else does. And often they know this and don't care, and just assume that dial up users are not even worth marketing at. Biig mistake.
If a web site takes more than 15 seconds to load the content (read: text and minor graphics), I'm going elsewhere. Basic, good web site design ensures this. Flash isn't part of good web site design in my eyes.
I can't stand flash. I find it highly annoying. A little flash is okay. But when you take it to the level where you can't make any good use of it with a browser that either has no or sucks at flash... Then that pisses me off the most.
Hear that commercial web designers? Too much flash, I go to your competitor. And I know I'm not alone.
Yet another symptom of the corporatizing of America. If you have money, you win. Isn't this country "by the people, for the people"?
No. Not anymore.
Trying to "protect" your companies interests by suing potential customers is a *real* good way to piss off most of the rest.
Not if they can make more money off the lawsuit then they can otherwise, especially if they know they're going to go out of business. Hey, this would be a great time, when they're ahead.
I've been using CVS Mozilla for the past few months. I love it. The only problem with Mozilla is it's resource intensive, i'd say a 333MHz machine is the use/don't bother border line.
Yes, he does understand that, the law text clearly states it. He's not a dummy, he just seems that way with these organizations behind him.
The hell should he care about the old devices market, he doesn't have to worry about that in the first place, ESPECIALLY with further lined pockets for him, his family and his party.
And of course, many people (most) forget there are still VERY large areas where broadband can't be gotten without a rediculous pricetag (sattelite). So that whole issue tied to it, which I think is BULLshit, is null for MANY people.
I'm not knocking the author. However, when I read this, I was litrally chuckling. Why? MicroSoft has, and always will, put getting the next version out in stores so they can get their money before anything else. Including security, I'd even go as far as to say ESPECIALLY security, when you think about SOAP.
If after all these years of their dancing and releasing of memos/initiatives that sound good but are never acted on, you still think this is, or WILL be, a secure environment at work... Boy, you've been had. You almost deserve what you've got coming at you.
Slashdot Mirror
HINT: check to see if sites are frigging hosted on dial up first!
Not even just Canada. But with all this international law/globalization BULLSHIT the UN and friends is pushing, it's the entire world.
Isn't it cool how only US citizens have a say on things that could easily affect YOU in other countries?
This is fantastic. I knew google would turn around and face these idiots!

Never give in!

If you are on the DALnet IRC network, please gather in #anti-CBDTPA
We need an army to gather/create documents to explain this threat to the every day person.
I have been using blender for a month, and truly fell in love with it. Thanks for a great app, I sure hope things work out :(
The numbers are nice. But the important thing now is details on the draft, which were badly lacking. I'm disappointed by this article.
Okay, you can have the alternative of not being told immediately and some of your systems being owned. Have fun.
For now they're just dumb and think p2p is the only way to get what they were getting before. Wait till the discover 'other' methoods.
I'm almost getting sick of hearing about this, eh?
However I do wish both sides would just spit out what the hell is going on.
Hmm. Perhaps you could locate this on archive.org , if you can think of some keywords , or even the website.
It is sad that times have come like this. That a company which seems as american as baseball seems so evil.
I'll join you, I encourage others to join. This has already gone too far.
Someone set up a web site for this fer chrissake. Oh and, you probably know better than to use the D-word anywhere in the domain name (seriously).
There is no legal problem.
The problem for them is that it is another area they want to get a slice of the action, even when there ISN'T any action.
The solution? Legeslate it. Boom, action, Boom take their slice, Boom, you are fucked.
Again.

Wonder how long it will take for Microsoft to embrace and extend this...
Or, to buy it.
*SHIVER*
Imagine all the vulnerabilities that would start showing up on flash pages.

'get a real browser' etc comments ignored.

Spoken like a true, generic, run-of-the mill consumer (i.e, 80% of Americans).
And that is what's scary.

What the hell are we all supposed to do if this passes? We'll be in deep shit.
This really scares me, honestly...
Hell no. I didn't vote for this schmuck.
Since when does a law outside the United States apply to us? Especially when our Constitution overrules it.
