The war on terrorism is working. Have any more buildings in the USA been destroyed? no. That is thanks to the hard work of the military and security factions of the USA. The war on drugs is successful too, have you heard about how difficult it is for people to find marijuana lately? That is also thanks to the hard efforts of American security. The war on drugs is also important, because American citizens cannot be on drugs in these difficult times, they must always be alert, because you cannot even trust your neighbours and friends now.
If the guy is from Britain, he is considered a hacker. If he were from Iran, he would be considered a terrorist.
They should just scrap the term hacker and call him a terrorist, because thats what breaking into the US millitary is, terrorism.
There is a difference between breaking into a companies network out of curiosity and breaking into a millitary network. At worst, it could be considered an act of war from the country where the hacker originated against the country that was hacked. This would be bad for britain as they are totally dependant on America for support and are controlled by America's millitary policy.
100 successful hacks is quite impressive, and it's good to see that America's war on terrorism is paying off and this man was caught before he could have caused serious damage to the western world.
a midi keybaord, some psychedelic posters, my computer, lots of papers, a 32 inch televison on the other side of the room, a couch and a few chairs... nothing special really. I often swivel the chair to watch tv while I am doing things on the computer.

I don't see how broadband would boost the economy, except for creating (likely not too many) jobs in the broadband sector. Almost all the advantages of broadband are related to entertainment anyway... Unless you are downloading lots of videos or playing games (not stuff that helps the economy) a standard ISDN line is fine for internet access.
why else would you need an 80GB drive in a laptop?
Two words: Desktop replacements.
There is a good niche industry of making laptops that are powerful enough to run the latest games ect.... An 80 gig drive would suit a laptop which had a fast 3d video card and a nice 15-inch screen. Of course you COULD use that 4 or 5 thousand dollar laptop for porn.
I see nothing wrong with the Jews getting their land back... However it's hard to calculate exactly how big "their land" is. Do we refer to the torah and make a rough estimate? From what I have observed, the country of Israel is already much bigger than any previous Jewish kingdom. And yet there is still an insistance to build settlements on areas that are palestinian.
maybe you haven't heard about Israel firing a rocket into an apartment building full of children, or bulldozing away people's homes? Or forcing people out of there own land because of their religion?
my god, I don't think a country that has commited so many terrorist acts against innocent people deserves such technology. Lets see how long it takes for the Israeli millitary to go from shooting down shells with lasers to shooting lasers at helpless palestinian villagers . And we can solely thank USA funding for all this too, because the rest of the world realizes who is WRONG here.
I pray that in spite of developments such as this there may one day be world peace.
Nice to see CGI graphics being pushed to the next level.
LOTR is exciting, uses lots of CGI and the geek factor is high. I really can't wait untill the twin towers. When Hollywood makes great movies like this the whole MPAA trying to take away our rights thing doesn't sound so bad...

my isp set the limit at 10megs, which I think is perfectly acceptable. The only files I receive that approach that size are mp3s of friend's music who for some reason can't send the files in an IM program.
She lost a chance at a $65,000 contract job at the Discovery channel because of this.
I don't know about you guys, but that seems a little bit odd to me. Normally an employer would call you if they were offering a 65k contract job. Maybe if she left them her phone number it would have worked out.
Untill recently, China has turned a blind eye to rampant piracy in the country. Sure they do some token 'crackdowns' now and then to appease American companies but generally China is a piracy free for all. It's about time they get a taste of their own medicine.
Billions of dollars have been lost (or should I say stolen) from American companies because of chinese piracy. Considering how badly the economy is doing now, that doesn't make me feel too good.
Now lets hope the money they saved from not having to buy windows licenses goes to help starving african children. In poor countries, every penny counts, and using linux could actually save enough money to feed a village for a year.

and it's a darn shame... I hate it when documents are in a format that requires me to download a 10 meg viewer program to view in windows, while you can open up any old word file in wordpad (which comes with windows). It's nice to inconvenience 90% of computer users. PDF files also tend to be huge compared to.doc file, so it's slower to download too!
it was originally a hack of microsoft's mpeg4... but the new versions of divx are all new (legal) code. That is most likely why the dvd players won't support old versions of divx as they were based off stolen technology.

yeah, that was a real shame what happened. It would be nice if the USA caught up with the rest of the world and started using the metric system.

I'd suggest slashdot start cracking down on this.

Isn't having one person in charge of the official tree against the whole idea of open-source?
Shouldn't everyone have input of equal value?
Then again, a certain popular linux site also has 'super-users' who control everything. I guesse the open-source world is full of contradictions.

Copying a 20$ DVD is the same as stealing 20$ from the company that made it.
Because America has less freedom of speach than China does now.

since I live in the east, I am looking forward to slashdot getting much much slower.
Thanks alot
most of the pdf files I've seen of 50 page manuals with a few pictures were over 5mb big.
I have one that is 200 pages and it is over 30mb big.

now I can play the videos I get off kazaa on a dvd player, it's about time!
