OK, I kinda-sorta rtfa. I'm calmer now but still upset.
What would be better, would be to go after downloaders rather than uploaders.
Though I have done my share of warez0ring (ROMS)...
I do sometimes download replacements for songs on damaged/lost tapes and CDs. I'm in fact waiting for one site to bring out some other CDs I used to have, and stuff I had on tape, so I can create these CDs again. Then again...the tapes were legit but the CDs weren't (they came from a Taiwanese company called Son May Records - the copyright is owned by Nippon Columbia). The ability to download (in my case, by HTTP with curl) is a lifesaver.
Even if this is stuff I own the copyright to, I can pass the stuff on IRC DCC and commit a felony?!!
What kind of fucked up plan is this?! Someone in Congress has his head up his fucking ass. We need to tell them to get fucking real and start doing what WE THE PEOPLE tell them to do. This is fucking bullshit.
And I am aware that this is going to cause a hit on my karma. Oh well, big deal.
Had dialup for a month, got DC'd once. The rest of the time I got cut off was because my modem plug fell out of the wall. SysR is very reliable if you live in the service area.
I prepaid $54 for 6 months of Internet access from System Resource in Niagara Falls. They're a small operation - only serve a two-county area - but they're easy to set up, and they kinda-sorta support FreeBSD and Linux. (I can connect both from Linux and Windows.)
That, for the math-impaired Slashbots, is $9.00 a month. With no proprietary software (no software at all!). Take that, NetZero and your proprietary, ad-driven, Internet Exploder-based dialers!
I'm sure if you look, you'll find something similar in your own areas.
I, frankly, beg to differ. BSD is alive and well - and the troll's information is wildly inaccurate.
I myself dabble in BSD - OpenBSD userland porting. If you download FreeDOS ODIN 0.4, there is a "cal.com" program included, and guess where it comes from. OpenBSD.
Maybe it is dying (although, evidence points otherwise). No open-source OS of the scale of BSD will ever completely die. Someone will just fork and run. In fact, witness FreeBSD, NetBSD and Dragonfly.
It's URL encoded. A spider reading the page wouldn't grok it.
Besides, I get 50 spams a day anyway. I don't think it likely that my e-mail address will get slashdotted, any more than it's likely that Goatse.cx or Tubgirl.com will get slashdotted.
For everything else, I have two private addresses.
...and speaking of screen readers, who knows, I'm considering writing a M$ Agent-enabled 'net suite just for fun - and fonts don't mean anything to text-to-speech (as you said).

You might not realize it, but I actually posted the BSD Is Dying troll myself (note the '-uso.' on it).

I might consider my own distro. :) PL-BSD (Pathologic BSD).
Is it possible to cross-compile a BSD kernel from {DJGPP, MinGW32, Cygwin, Linux} ?
Is there a non-GNU ANSI compiler with a BSD license?

DOS/V is just DOS with a back-end that allows the computer to handle Shift-JIS text properly.
BTW anyone have a copy of it...I'd like to try to bring more Japanese-native text messages to FreeDOS/V.
