As someone posted earlier, at least the average slashdot poster does not make it to the frontpage and is easily ignored with the correct 'score' filter.
I am not annoyed by the fact she's answering to an interview (who wouldn't? FAME!), not even by the fact that greplaw wanted to interview her (They couldn't know beforehand she would be so flat and empty). I'm annoyed because this way below average interview made it to the frontpage and only because she was kinda hot and remotely interested in tech. I'm annoyed slashdot thought "Wow, this is better than chicks-with-guns! Our readers will love this interview, because it is a hot chick, and hot chicks have more rights than men or unattractive women when it comes to saying inane things!"

So do we all agree this article shouldn't have been on slashdot in the first place?
Speaking of cheesecake models, I really find that annoying when some corporation (be it aimster or somecorp-not-selling-girlie-stuff) believes it can sell me something with a cute looking girl! NO ASSHOLES! I'll just look at the girl and that's FREE for me! Never gonna buy your products if you base your marketing on me being stupid! I'm not masochistic!
If you do not think having bill of different color/size helps telling them apart, you're not honest...
Just imagine your coins having all the same color/size/weight!! Nah, it would be easy to tell them apart and estimate how much do you have, there are numbers on them!
True. You can always secure more. What I was wondering is if it could be *considered* theft by the owner since it wasn't explicitly for download and he didn't expect it to be downloaded. But hacks are never expected by the hacked... what is trivial for you may not be trivial to him.
Digression: Kind of the old trick of guessing a url of some company's product. (They let you download freely 'http://www.company.com/somepath/setup_demo.exe' but you have to pay for the full product... or try 'http://www.company.com/somepath/setup.exe'!)
To get back on the subject, I do not think the author would bother if one person downloaded a 'non-linked' file by guessing or looking into the code, but here slashdot basically says to everybody "The author doesn't want you to have the file, but go ahead, just download the zip anyway"
Other digression: I believe that comparing a subject with another is generally fallacious because it does not prove anything. Something you can do in one case does not automatically allow every cases. And it is also open to interpretation, see: You put a coin in a machine that has given you a coke. For you the coin is the HTTP request but I may interpret the coin as the license to use the file and only interpret the button you push as the HTTP request. (And therefore here you do not have the coin)
We already know that a web server is no coke-machine but, if you could get a coke just by pushing the button without putting a coin, would it be theft? (Considering that there is a sticker requiring you to *buy* the coke by putting a coin in the machine)
Obviously, such a machine would never exist but I think it would be theft and that it's not because something does not require you break something that it is legal.
PS: This discussion remind me about those comments about port scanning, that generally goes like "The ports are open!", "If you left your front door open yada yada"... these always remind me that comparisons lead generally nowhere, since a network of computer is not like the 'real' world. What you think would be over the line for your house does not apply to your computer. You just have to judge by considering what has been done to your computer, not what would have been done if it had been your house... it's your computer not your house dammit!
Please note that moderation is not a judgement about someone as a human being. Don't take it personally.
Although many/.ers see moderation as a reward, I think it's only there to bring up the interesting posts... and I think seeing ten times the same thing is not that interesting, despite the sincerity of the posters when they post... Now OK since you thought that was the first occurence, you felt that the moderation was unjustified but that does not take away the usefulness of the 'redundant' moderation...
(As a side note, I am here (on this discussion) because I metamoderated 'unfair' the 'troll' moderation of this post)
no, seriously dude, it sucks... It would be amusing if that sentence meant something in french, but whereas it is written in french, it simply isn't a meaningful insult...
Try something more like: Les français sont tous des lâches! (if you want to keep the 'cowardice' meaning...)(But don't keep the cheese/snail/frogs-eating... as it is neither negative nor a meaningful qualificative!)
But with TCPA, nobody will be able to crack it anyway... (or more precisely, nobody will be able to *run* a cracked copy)
I think this program will require everything from the BIOS to the OS to have the right crypptographic signatures...
Yes it's a nice idea but I think that throttling the connection is not enough...
I think that the flaw here is that the spammer only loses time for the connection, but saves its bandwith and is therefore able to send 10000 messages at a time!!
I think that pretending to lose packets would be more efficient (but more difficult to do) since it would force the spammer to resend data and therefore waste both its time and its bandwith (and ours alas).
And it's not DVDs or SACD that replace them, but MP3s and other numerical formats!
I may speak only for myself but I don't listen to Audio CDs anymore, I listen to MP3s (At work, in my car, at home). You talk about convenience, but MP3 are far more convenient than CDs... And the next 'switch' will not 'hurt' the consumer as much as the previous one (tapes->CDs). The next switch will be: "forget MP3s, use 5.1 OGGs! Their quality rules!"... that's right, I think we had the last 'hardware' switch by adopting the CD, others switches will only be between software file formats...
I think it's a great idea!
Live are often more interesting than studio album and yet, you often have to wait long before they are published... (Like Pink Floyd 1981 Live in Berlin...)
Are you american? If so, do you really hang out with black people? Do you feel frightened/oppressed when you see a group of black people in the subway?
I remember an american telling me how he was surprised seeing all these black people in Paris, him feeling not really being in France... stereotyped and strange, isn't it?

Do you prefer boys or girls?

Sorry to find that question interesting...
(If you prefer boys, then maybe making you looking like a girl was the right choice, don't you think? If you prefer girls... well... sue them!

My question would have been more like "So, does this '1 in 700000' bug exist or not? Tell us WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO COVER, Mr Fyodor!!"
Maybe I wouldn't say the last part after all...

When they say "left wide open in a zip file on his server"...
Is it "wide open" as "I did not rob this shop, the door was wide open, so it's not theft"?
Did the guy agree that you take this file and use it?
Just a question...
Put all your eggs in one basket... and WATCH THAT BASKET!!
What's "GBP 3" or "4" and what's the matter with it going to 3 to 4?
Isn't GPS supposed to be available on the whole earth? Do satellites avoid certain parts of the country now?
Why are you my foe and why am I your foe again?

Nope, but they still don't have much advantage over MP3s...
I meant "digital formats" not "numerical"... forgive my lame english
But CDs are already dead!
And it's not DVDs or SACD that replace them, but MP3s and other numerical formats!

Ok they agreed to give the information...
But where does this information come from?
Does the EU also invade passengers privacy?

OK, you're an idiot. Although I don't know why you'd want to be called one?
Why? Easy! He is an idiot.
Less racists than the americans.
