  2. Re:but its stull sux on DeCSS' Continuing Saga · · Score: 1

    nope nope nope... this is sooo wrong... the DeCSS by 'more' program that floats around for win32 systems WILL copy out unencrpted files but that jsut makes it a combo program... the difference is that the DeCSS code floating around will not copy anything... want me to prove it? ok put a DVD in your drive and open it with some type of file manager... find the ".vob" files and copy them to your hard drive... BAM there you go.. exact copy but still encrypted...

  3. Re:RIAA on RIAA Sues Audiogalaxy · · Score: 1

    Probably when people stop pirating music.
    you assume that they are ACTUALLY pirating music and not just sharing legit files... unfortunatly all get caught in this virtual trolling net

  4. Re:i dont know about mp3... on Vivendi Offering MP3 Song for Sale · · Score: 1

    this is not true... most of the time a cd is from a studio where they have spend HUGE amounts of effort producing the albunm... so what I hear is more than jsut their music...

  5. Re:money or principle? on Red Hat Files for Software Patents · · Score: 1

    you are VERy correct... in fact if you even create somthing that is not a rip off BAM its copyrighted by you INSTANTLY... the only reason we need a patent office is to prove when people come up with ideas... its like a preemptive legal strike against would-be rip offs... so just because something is GPL does not mean you can rip it off... you can only use it as the GPL says but at least the GPL IS a license...

  6. Re:What I find truly amazing on Future Computers · · Score: 1

    but you CAN go to school to upgrade the kernel... but dont use drugs or else you'll can get a kernel panic

  7. Re:i dont know about mp3... on Vivendi Offering MP3 Song for Sale · · Score: 1

    i hear the artifacts all the time... the biggest one i have is that a high hat now sounds washed together more like a rain stick then a peice of a drum set... listen to it some time...

  8. Re:Cheaters. on X-45 Makes Debut Flight · · Score: 1

    on MOST real flight missions the planes fly in formation and/or predefined routes... so really a pilot could have his controls sent to a couple of planes at once

  9. i dont know about mp3... on Vivendi Offering MP3 Song for Sale · · Score: 1

    i mean mp3 is a good start i guess but IM not going to pay for lossy music

  10. Re:Ping rate? on New Internet2 Land Speed Record · · Score: 1

    this will NOT be fun because someone could send youa huge amount of usless packets to you with encrypted return addresses... just asking to be dos'es

  11. Re:Linux ready for schools on Slashback: Moonbase, Schools, Entropia · · Score: 1

    Well im a sophmore at a school in washington state and its basically all windows here. Microsoft sells at a cut rate because some kids parents work for the place but it still takes quite a bit of money. I have recently been setting up some Mandrake Linux boxes and the school plans to have a "Linux Lab" next yeer. So I would sudjest that other schools try what im doing, set up a couple for students to play with then slowly start to expand. As for people saying that linus isn't ready for schools its just not true, Mandrake Linux is just as easy as windows to use and you get all the benefits of a stable OS.

  12. Re:Sims Website on "The Sims" Online, and on the PS2 · · Score: 1

    escapism is a HUGE business worldwide... look at the figures for world wide heroin sales... ever wonder why american imports tons and tons of drugs every year?

  16. Re:Depends on what you want to use it for on OpenBSD 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    if your bos is still up why upgrade? before you upgrade ask this 1. Is it crashing (no) 2. Is it too slow (well upgrade might slo it down) 3. Can it be hacked (not if oyu keep updating everything but the actual OS) so if i were you i wouldn't upgrade... in fact i would keep that box running untill it DOES go down THEN upgrade casue obviously something was wrong...

  17. Re:Silly mathematicians. on The Universe in 4 Lines of Code? · · Score: 1

    the one place where math does NOT apply is in true nature. Math is close but technically is WRONG but close so really life is not math (even though i would maybe want it to be).

  18. Re:T-Shirts on 2600 Appeal Rejected · · Score: 1

    so after 75 years are the people any less dead? just because their brothers and sister and freind are gone doesn't mean they are back. The poster obviously wished to show that there WAS at least SOME incidents involving these activities.

  19. Re:Speed of light on More on the Fine Structure Constant · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well C just "happens" to be speed of light in a vacumm but it doesn't bind to light really. 'C' really is just the maximum possible speed period. This can only be acheived in a vacumm with light but there is no such thing as true vacumm. In fact light goes about 75% of C in regular water. So indeed you can go fater than light but not 'C'. So realyl 'light' should not be associated with 'C' for any other reason that it "theoretically" could go the maxim speed. So really "theoretically" many things could go 'C' but many of ours law quickly break down should we break 'C' such as but not limited to entropy (im sorry but oyu cant get more than 100% return of energy). So this is why 'C' is not 'L' for light or something.

  20. Re:T-Shirts on 2600 Appeal Rejected · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that would be great as long as they arent "industry appointed official"... basiacally MPAA lapdogs... we cant have our own enemies choosing the judge...

    there is not too many people there is too much waste... we eat too much and shit in our own backyard... how about we get our crap together and figure out what we are going to do for our children (well that happens to be me)... im tired of hearing from all the adults around me that "your generation is the future" and "your generation is going to fix this mess"... hell no... we are just as lazy as you but now we have mtv... so why dont YOU get your act together and quite messing it up for me...

  24. Re:Nvidia's proprietary drivers suck on The Age of Nvidia · · Score: 1

    well im not a big nvidea fan as i have only owned a tnt 2 but i personally really like matrox. The visuals are very clear and the matrox 2d support owns. Almost everyone i know uses 2d NOT 3d on their computers most of the time. Matrox is not the best for games but they DO do well with their duel head cards for business apps. Also my favorite reason for matrox... GPL drivers...

  25. Re:Law Enforcement on Security, Due Process and Convenience · · Score: 1

    if i was broken into and i knew what to do about not mucking up the files i would first make a backup... if i cant do it i would have a qualified technition who could swear in court under oath that nothing was changed... then keep the backup and hand over the original... i know it would suck but thats how life is sometimes...
