If these people want money, they should just sell their software like all the rest of the shrink-wrapped crap out there.
I mean, I donno their system seems well designed, but the whole point of 'shareware' is to share it... It's extremely disingenuous to bitch about piracy.
NJStar is an unseemly pile of crap. I tried to install the WinCE version and it fucked my palmtop to shit. You can get a nice integrated IME from M$ from 9x, and NT/2000 (and XP I guess) just need the install CD.
I remember reading a while ago, a comment from some sci-fi author saying that most of what was passed off as "sci-fi" these days was not, but rather fiction set in a familiar world pioneered by the sci-fi greats. Not any different then fiction set in the Wild West or whatever. The author singled out star wars as an example. No real science, but rather a story that drew on the readers understanding of the 'sci fi world'
I do have a point
If this movie can be made without the pretense of needing to explain how reality shows and the media are exploitive and cynical, it means that we as a people are 'familiar' with the thing. They don't need to be told it, they know it already.
Yeh, I'm sure werever/~jeff is going to be a commercial site. It wouldn't kill the slashdot editors to like, ask before they do things like this, would it?
Oh, but that would require actual work... (both to contact the sites and decide what ones might need mirroring)
Isn't the whole point of the census to get a complete count of everyone? That means, everyone needs to fill out a form... Do they expect people to do it over the web or something?
The last three PCs I have purchased were from hole-in-the-wall vendors who used several critical components that were not licensed for FCC Class B or Class A use; in order words, these devices are illegal because they give off way too much RF radiation. Does the FCC care? Hell no. The chink I bought the PCs from told me that a dissatisfied customer once threatened to report him to the FCC; the FCC called him, asked if he was in compliance, and closed the case when he said "yes."
Did you miss that someone actually has to pay for the internet connection? Unless MCI*Worldcom themselves put up a wireless connectino and just let people leech off their bandwidth, it's not free.
Um, yes but if a neighborhood sets up a wireless lan, it wouldn't cost anyone anything.
I knew a very beautiful girl who was into computers and stuff, and not only that she was impressed by computer ability.
Sadly, I never got any naked pictures of her:(
Oh, also Asia Carrara considers herself a geek. keslin is a geek sig-spammed k5 and slashdot for a while to get people to go to her porn site. You could probably say she was a geek, but. you probably wouldn't say she was that good looking...
I have two fat32 drives in my current PC, both of which only have a few hundred megs free. My C: drive in particular once filled up completely (0k free).
I have never had any noticable dataloss on either of those drives, in 3 years of operation. And win98 use to only have any uptime of a day or so before I got my new mobo.
In contrast, ext2 loses data like a sive if you don't shut down properly (like if x locks or whatever)
Wow, I'm sure you convinced a lot of people that I'm wrong. My post was from my experiance. How the hell would you know what my personal experiance was?
ext2 is about the most fragile filesystem ever. any kind of un-sanction reboot and you will lose some files. In contrast, I've only lost files off of a FAT partition once.
Smart cards are just normal, Turing machine type comptuers. The interface is a standart serial port that's been flatened.
You can put any CPU you want, any amount of ram any OS. There are smartcards that use java, and some that run linux.
The fact that one persion has hacked one kind of smart card dosn't mean that "all" smart cards have been hacked any more then the fact that you can break into a PC running windows2000 means you can hack a Linux box, or a mac or a Comidore 64
This comment should NOT be modded where it is. it's totaly wrong.

Somehow, this does not seem like a good way to prevent movie piracy...

Jon Katz is a moron who couldn't be bothered to go to imdb.com before spouting off with his malformed biasies...

I thought hemos thought up "slashdot". That's what it said in Wired, anyway.

Why would you downgrade your cable service just to watch low-res streams? You can still watch 56k realmedia files on a faster connection...
maybe some day you should learn to read.
Man his "late 90s" pic makes him look like a dork. If he's going to go all crypto-cyborg he really needs to use better shades.
Anyway, he's obviously a dangerous spy. Just look, in the first image, he's waring a t-shirt with a MAP OF CHINA what more evidence do you need!?
They REMOVED STUFF FROM HIS BODY!?
Why didn't he just take a boat back or something? Did they not allow him to simply leave?
Shameless plug, hit: autopr0n [autopr0n.com]
:P
Heh, actualy I think I'm doing a good enough job of that on slashdot myself. If you really want to help, plug ap on other sites

maybe the same person submitted it to both sites...

It's not 170 mm^2 but 170 mm X 170 mm
geez man, 170 mm X 170 mm IS 170mm

Of course, you could also just not do anything evil to begin with...
