This is great news.. I can't stand the fact that record company's try to pull this bullshit with people, it's not right. Although I can understand why they'd want to copy protect CD's in the first place, it's still *MY* media if I buy it, I should be able to do whatever I want with it. It's the artists I'm concerned about, not these witless out-of-touch record executives with pony nubs and Porsche's.
I believe that something must happen, mp3's have changed the way we look at digital media for the rest of our life, they need to figure out a way to compensate the artists while at the same time not pissing off the consumer. It's a very delicate balance, and i'd hate to be the person (or persons) involved in deciding the fate of compensatory payment for music, be it digital or not. It's a huge mess, but copy protecting cd's is just the beginning.
Well, i'd rather have these blocked/unreachable hosts out there from the rest of the internet, if it's for military/government/research purposes. Some of these servers just shouldn't be accessed by the general public, and it keeps the script kiddies out. (well, at least it tries to keep them out.)
Any explanation as to why cable users typically fall in to this shadow zone of addresses? that's probably what interests me the most. The gov't shadow zone i can understand, they've been hiding stuff for years, and will continue to do so, but wtf is with the cable users?
With all the media/capital hype surrounding linux right now, BSD doesn't stand a chance. Everywhere I go on the net I see linux cluster this, linux PDAs, linux games, linux servers, linux everything..
I'm waiting for the linux powered toilet brush, personally. I'd just hope that these people who are pumping their servers full of linux goodness don't do it just because the hype is there, they really need to get more information BOTH BSD & Linux, besides benchmarks with sendmail and what not.
wait, if i get a Power/iBook, does that mean i can hack in to government databases in under 10 seconds like in all the movie's i've seen with those REAL HACKERS using apple lappy's?
that'd be schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Microsoft not setting any more standards?

I ran a few ChicagoLand BBS systems... All using renegade, some even using the "newest and greatest" bbs software called iNiQUiTY.. some canuk coded it, it was halfway decent for what it was...
Boards I ran :
UAIOE, Damage iNC., Sub Atomic Slime
708 area codes mostly
I was also an active member on :
Ripco, Lunatic Phringe, (GinsuTalk chat BBS) Moo 'n' oink, Poison pen
Anyone from around that area? it'd be great to hear from someone..

I still play Samurai Shodown 2 in mame, probably the only way SNK will ever live on. Support your local MAMER today.
Let's get Gates in put him on the first plane to Afghanistan.
/bin/laden in a matter of days, they're both unwanted, greedy clueless fools who enjoy creating their own fantasy world.

Linux is not the only Microsoft alternative.
