Anyway, I don't think this is any diffrent then someone who's adicted posting stuff on slashdot or any onther posting board.
IIRC you don't need actualy buy something off amazon to review it, do you? (I know you don't if you just want to rate it). So it's possible she's reviewing stuff she has from other places.
Being able to copy and share files, use strong encryption, etc are nice. But lets also try to keep our "real life" rights as well, and donate to the ACLU along with the EFF!
I'm only pointing out that putting more money in your pocket is not evidence of not being evil.
you may wish to learn to spell simple english words before you post
I really don't wish to. One thing you might wish to do is learn how to make a coherent logical argument, and avoid ad-hominm attacks. Calling someone a moron because they disagree with you is not an effective way to change peoples minds, and in general makes other people take your words in lower regard.
I'm in the minority here by admitting that I vote Republican - although I happen to be very anti-gun. If the government wanted to get rid of guns, they could. Just make the punishment severe enough - even for trivial posession.
"Yeah, remember when the government declared a war on drugs, and now you can't get drugs anymore?"
Oh wait.
You think people will do what you tell them as long as you make the punishments strong enough? No wonder you vote republican.
This provides evidence that Oil supplies may be able to 'recharge' as per some theories of subterranean life.
In other words, if this turns out to be wide-spread, and some other theories are also proven true, it means we won't run out of Oil. You don't think that's an important question?
I remember a year or so ago everyone was posting Chinese and japanese text all over everywhere (mostly in their.sigs. Actualy, I think I might have been the first... under a diffrent account, obviously)
Its really amazing how anal slashdot is about censoring things. They bitch about 'freedom of information' but then ban ASCII art and non-english char sets. It even makes it hard to show things like simple graphs or whatever.
What, the bottom 1%? You obviously don't understand anything about HTML and web technology. You don't even seem to really understand what the "net" is.
Making websites accessible to begin with doesn't cost anything.
The fact that a bunch of paranoid lunatics on slashdot took one quote out of context and proceded to rant and rave that the government was out to get them does not make it true.
If you actualy read the report, all they said was that wifi was a really usefull technology, but if you used it you should keep in mind that you're opening yourself up to some security problems.
You should have just told her that you blocked popups, and thus couldn't see her applets. You can still tell her a lot of people do that, and that a lot of people won't even be able to turn stuff off
I really don't see why people fuss about stuff like that (toolbars and the like). It's not like people consider that part of the 'art'. I mean, I still have this ugly monitor frame around her work, no matter what.
If the slashdot 'editors' spent 2 minutes writing a few lines of CSS in some between some tags it would have looked fine. Obviously that was beyond them. Because they are stupid idiots.
That is encredibly facinating. Certanly more intresting then any of the following:

They seem to be saying that leaving unsecured WiFi is a way to allow hackers into your network.
For example. Imagine you had a bunch of windows machines on your home LAN, and they all connected to the net through a Linux or BSD firewall using NAT or something. You put up a Wifi net so you can user your laptop, and now everything's vulnerable.
The situation is even worse at a large company that might have sensitive documents, or tons of unpached computers waiting to be hacked and turned into DDOS zombies.
I don't think he's attacking open Wi-Fi connections that let anyone get online anonymously, at least not directly, just pointing out that Wi-fi can punch holes in security systems, and allow hackers to get in and fuck with your stuff.
At least, I certainly hope he's not saying the government is going to make open wi-fi illegal.
Open wifi is a tool that can be used for good or ill. Better laws would mandate that servers be patched and such.

Wow, even number :P

Not like the good old capitalist USA!
Oh wait, all our space stuff is run by the government? Uh, nevermind.
The only people who have that reaction to the ACLU are right-wing crazies. You're not a right-wing crazy, are you Suppafly?
I mean it's not like they're PETA...
Is it just me, or is it amazing how few people realize that the editors arn't responsible for the text in italics?
I mean, maybe they should be responsible, but they certanly don't act like it.
Being able to copy and share files, use strong encryption, etc are nice. But lets also try to keep our "real life" rights as well, and donate to the ACLU along with the EFF!
I'd actualy venture that rob has more looks then brains.
Why are they all just pictures of Rob sitting (or standing) around alone in some room?

Bush just gave Military another pay raise. The man putting more money in my pocket certainly doesn't constitute an "evil fuck".
I'm sure hitler gave the military lots of pay rases. But he was still an evil fuck.

Would people please stop repeating that rediculous lie? The government never said anything like that, only insanely paranoid slashdotters.

Might solve some of your problems. It's also a lot more likely that some flash ad or something crashed your browser.
Rather, some hysterical idiot took one quote out of context, embelished it, and then slashdot published it on the front page as fact.
The government never said anything like that.

IMO, CSS is generaly better looking then Table stuff, but table stuff can look nice, and CSS can look fugly (just look at the W3C's CSS page!).
Of course at this point, any change would be great
That comment sits at two, so apperantly some people find value in bashing slashdot...
I just can't spelkl. I am also very tired. hehehe.

You want me to hire someone to fix other people's networks so that they can't be hacked and used to DDOS me?
Yeah, that makes sense...
