All parents should immediately contact their children's schools and inform them that your child will not be exposed to this kind of propaganda. Let them know that you and a group of other concerned parents will be filing a class-action lawsuit if this event is allowed.
We must let the RIAA know that their shit about rights, et. al., is not acceptable. If it is learned that the schools are being given "incentive", another class action should be opened.
The ease with which Microsoft is guiding the PC-noobie world into "DRM Land" is quite frightening.
Will all installations of the M$ Media Playing System require you to be an a 24/7 broadband internet connection? Will your PC be constantly scanned and monitored to ensure you play no "unlicensed" content?
It seems we all need to either force a political action against this governmental oversight. The other option is to become techies who can outwit the spyware environment we will live under.
My first reaction before reading any postings was "How?".
I understand that the BSA is a civil organization. They can suspect me of software piracy and wish to audit me, but until they produce a legal search warrant signed by a judge they are powerless. I would be within my rights to tell them to simply "F*** OFF!".
Apparently this is not the case and I'd like a posting by a more learned mind correcting my information.
I've followed this chicanery since the beginning and wish to strike one blow among many (IBM, HP, etc.) at SCO.
I want to claim that my consulting company, Robert Tilley Inc., has been hurt by the claims and announcements of SCO.
Filing a lawsuit claiming that I've lost customers seems a good idea. Are there any more experienced legal minds here that can offer unofficial advice?
For sale at the low, low price of $50.00 you can now own a share of the company that starred in the greatest economic debacle since the Enron scandal -- SCO. I have one (1) share that I acquired simply to give me a legal base if I wanted to sue.
All owners of SCO (I know the stock is 'SCOX') need to gather and sue because of corporate mismanagement due to illegal manipulation of stock price. Or something. IANAL.
Seriously, if someone would like to buy one share of this stock as a reminder before it is delisted, I am open to sale.
In a word, the article is subjective bullshit. Nothing more.
Furthermore, 80% of the Linux users believed that they needed only one week to become as competent with the new system as with their existing one, compared with 85% of the XP users.
But when it comes to the design of the desktop interface and programs, Windows XP still has a strong edge: 83% of the Linux users said they liked the design of the desktop and the programs, compared with 100% of the Windows XP users.
WTF are words like "believe" and "like" doing in reports of a supposedly objective evaluation?
One group consisted of 60 users aged 25 to 55 with computer skills but no prior experience with Linux or Windows XP.
Does anyone believe that it is possible to find someone with no exposure to Linux or XP? The common concept of a GUI is modeled after MS (or you can say vice-versa, I know).
If you don't wish to send a hand-written letter (such will have more meaning to a senator versus email), send a quick message to Senator Coleman expressing support for his actions and ideas.
I fully support and encourage your enquiry into the recent acts of the RIAA with regards to unjust lawsuits.
I hope that not being a resident of your state will not detract from this message. It is good that someone is scrutinizing these questionable practices.
A suggestion for the FreeNet development team would be to have every transmission include the text "This transmission is copyright Freenet and interception or decryption are prohibited under the DMCA."
I think this could also apply to Kazaa or any other P2P network. IANAL.

You've heard about reconstruction of shredded documents. But now Blastco is selling the amazing, super-duper, Blendomatic(tm).
The operation of this wonderful device is so simple even my grandmother could be accidentally killed using it.
Simply dump up to 1 cubic foot of documents of be "blended" and press the button. Water is injected and the 250 hp motor started. In a few minutes a phlegm-like pulp of paper is ejected.
This mass of Top-Secret documents is now no different than a dollop of elephant snot.
The Clear Channel page that is linked to by an earlier article can be summed up neatly as follows:
Please ignore that we are gobbling up every bit of free radio spectrum available upon which to slather our corporate feces. Ignore that the original legislation meant that they were to be used by the public, and in the interest of the public.
Please give us, a media conglomerate with the power to decide what the people (i.e., your constituents) hear and see, the power to spew forth only what is approved by the Powers That Be.
Let us ensure that you govern a docile and easily molded nation.
Include a warning on your download pages that your WiFi signal is only for In-Home testing and that reception of it constitutes a violation of the DMCA.
35% Hydrogen Peroxide can be bought at your local healthfood stores here in the US. I've consumed the stuff before (http://www.oxytherapy.com/) for weeks. Diluted, grant you.
I've gargled with 35% H2O2 before to help me resist winter colds. It works. It is not smart, as 35% will burn when it contacts the mucous membranes at the back of your throat but you do live. Just gargle and spit.
Don't be afraid of something before you understand it.
If gravity is caused by the presence of a mass, a sufficient amount of energy will duplicate the presence of mass, hence artificial gravity but not antigravity.
If gravity is caused by gravitons, shielding can be developed and a form of antigravity created but not artificial gravity.
My thinking is nodoubt too simplistic on these two topics. The two theories previously mentioned are mutally exclusive.
Can anyone see a method that the future of Jetsons can be realized?
Adult-onset diabetes is often the result of being overweight and poor diet. Such people (grossly overweight) should be remove from the human gene pool.
Just say it! You're not 'pro-choice' -- you're pro-abortion. Say it. People suck, there's too many of them, and they are easier to kill when they're small.
Solutions are easily accessible. Find a yoga studio, start a dedicated practice, and stop whining about missing chocolate Ding-Dongs at lunchtime.

I interpret the article to mean that the professor's use of code decryption was legal, and that such coding in general is non-criminal.
Is this correct?
M$ supports viruses well. Write a P2P virus that will propagate across the 'net until a certain threshold is reached.
When the threshold is reached, the virus will connect to other computers with the same P2P virus and begin exchanging all files on the hard drive.
Everyone will have a cause to hate the Evil Empire!

I just checked and as of 0935 EST, WineHQ was operational. What's up?
I personally don't see the impact of shutting down a website besides irritating a few web surfers who have minimal impact on legislation.
Perhaps that's a US-centric mode of thought.
My favorite idea is to implement a White List.
If a mail comes in from someone not on your list, it is moved to a spam folder.
Periodically check the spam folder for valid messages and make any changes to the list as needed.

Jack The Ripper being the parole officer for Charles Manson
Enron overseeing the bank account of the Godfather
SCO maintaining the GNU archives
Insert humorous analogy here...
I've followed this chicanery since the beginning and wish to strike
one blow among many (IBM, HP, etc.) at SCO.

Okay people, I own one, that is one share of SCOX that I'm willing to part with before this debacle plays itself out.
Now, who would like to say they own a piece of the greatest financial scam since Enron???
No shoving now, cash only...

If dependencies are causing trouble for your system, switch to Debian.
Apt-get is a joy and an almost perfect solution.

Yes, General Protection Faults are free. They're especially common with M$ software.

This article reeks of bias.
I think that MS is openly admitting that their products only cost $5-12 dollars.
I would allocate that as:
We have XM radio. Digital radio transmitted via satellite.
Digital transmissions equal identical copy.
Create a radio PVR with a built-in CD burner. You can store a list of songs you've received for later permanent archiving.
How hard can this be? I'm sure the same concept could apply to radio wave radio signals.
