Yeah. Hardware manufacturors got their perfect ad right there!
--BEGIN QUASI AD--
As far as you (the consumer) are concerned, this is a total stepback compared to any entertainment-technology you've used before. It will offer you less, but at a steeper price! Being technically speaking, alot more complex than anything we've made before, it is without a doubta device that is utterly sure to fail.
This is the new crippled loud. You need this now.
--END QUASI AD--
That sure as hell will bring in the revenues! Unless you lye to your customers, but that would be unetchical, wouldn't it? Oh, those pigopolists don't seem to mind, that's right.
As we all know for one hundred percent, absolutely, totally, no doubt, never bound to fail, guaranteed(tm) certain, removing a word makes it all go away.
So if we remove the word slave from the english language, all slavery will be abolished wherever english is the only present language. This is ofcourse a scientific fact, or I wouldn't be claiming it.
So don't give me any trolls about how this isn't so. What I am wondering about you see, is Mr. Garrison's assistant, Mr. Slave now going to be removed from Southpark? (I'm not all up to date:)
Excuse me for my ignorance... But isn't there allready laws against this?
Like the current, and has allways been, standard freaking copyright law?
What's really the point of ultra-criminalizing a no-actual-harm-done offence? To make really sure of that people lose all respect for the laws at an earliest age possible?
Like I say to the geeks who have gone to far, I just have one thing to say to the likes of these guys: Get a life!
America's health care system is second only to Japan... Canada, Sweden, Great Britain,... well all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!
You all seem a it uptight about the DTV change. And that's all about the broadcast flag ofcourse. So you're bitching about all aspects of the DTV change to be certain you're bitching enough.
So I'm all against broadcastflags just as much as you guys, but would you guys really be bitching about the end of analog transmission if the digital ones weren't being locked down?
I kinda doubt that. So please focus on the real evil (*cough*broadcastflag*cough*), for the sake of debate, huh?
there is the potential for hacks to be discovered by members of the public, and not put forward, which, if they are not spotted by anyone else, which is conceivable, could lead to huge abuse later...
And this couldn't happen in any other way? Security trough obsciourity works perfect in every way, you say?

Yeah. I know it's probably bad scripting on the page, but I simply couldnt resist this one:)
So buying (i.e. paying for) DRM-crippled hardware is not supporting (giving your money to) the people/companies who is responsible for the devilshit in the first place?
Yeah right. It probably doesn't matter.
Put differently: Who wouldn't deliver tons of media/applications/shows/whatever for use (only) on the-latest-thing(tm) if no the-latest-thing(tm)-devices had been delivered or sold?
This is just a wild hunch... Before 1.44 "mm" floppys, there were 720 kb floppys. I dunno (haven't checked, haven't bothered), but it might be that the 720 kb floppys are indeed 720 kb, and that they were a little bit incosistent when they introduced High-denisity discs with double the capacity... 1440 kb or as they say, 1.44 mb.
You obviously haven't noticed how Plan-9 is a low-budget flick with immense amount of amatourism (and therefore charm:). Gigly is a hi-budget movie with "hot" celebreties, no story, no guts, no originality and no charm. It's one hundred percent standard and predictable. And when you got a multi-million budget, you should expect better (Ok that may not be true with todays HW-movies, but it still should:)
I'd go for a good b-movie, than a bad a-movie any day.
Yo. You are using a Compaq (big, big evil) machine.
Compaq has a history of creating their own modified versions of hardware, so people can't buy standard 3rd-pary equipment when they want to get new gear for their machine. They have to get Compaq-stuff (which is supposed to be so much better...).
As for drivers.... Jeez. You can't even get Windows-drivers for Compaq machines, without working your ass of. Oh, and you down download drivers. You download "SoftPaqs". And you never know if this is supportsoftware or actual drivers, btw. As a former support-employee, I had to deny people with Compaq machines service, simply because reinstalling a machine like that could take days.
Its not Linux messing with your head. Its Compaq. As the other guy said: Get a Dell, man.
Just a quation:
Would the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Miles Davis and Pink Floyd (and alot more:) have made the music they did make, if they didn't "waste" their money on drugs?
So drugs doesn't have to be waste:) (And there goes my karma)
Slashdot Mirror
Isn't there any way to sue yourself for IP-infridgement? Not necassary on SCOs behalf, but you get the picture.
Just get the case done, and out of here you know... I know it probably can't be done, but I'm just dreaming here.
Only next, SCO might be suing me for ruining their frivilious lawsuit :)

And I who thought that it were crack they were smoking all this time. Even Linus seems to agree on that one.
It's Shakespeare! And one of his finest, I must admit.
From the parent-linked article:
So now the Media player is a part of the kernel as well? I smell DRM coming on strong...
An actual post containing the word "profit", not being a direct waste of bandwidth. I'm impressed.
The worst thing is that to a paranoid enough guy, this actually makes sense.
And ofcourse, I'm not saying being paranoid enough is a bad thing. Quite on the contrary.
Excuse me for my ignorance... But isn't there allready laws against this?

Obligatory Homer Simpson quote:
So what you're saying is that the public domain was a fab and nothing more?
A good idea, really, but as fast as technology alloved the public domain to truly be a public domain, it had to be shut down for safety reasons?
Sarcasm flag not signaled. I hope it's not necassery.

Actually, Microsoft is including protection against the "print-screen-hole".
Ok. Dunno where I read it, but it was quite recent (after they released all that Office 2003-info). You'll all have to trust me. Ok? :)
And here's another (maybe even familiar) one: More Bob rooms and conclusion.

Except, you just have to restart samba. Not the entire system. But who cares about details like that :)
And it's RC1 - Release Candidate One. It's not a final as of yet.

RIAA-labels are producing fewer CDs, so there's less to buy. Hrm... How come their sales are down....
You probbably also noticed that tiny distinction that Lessig made:
But that's probably obvious... (It was so blatantly obvious, lieing directly under my nose, that I for once couldn't think of it :)
