[conspiracy theory] What if the leak was posted with the intent of tracking the people who loaded it? Now that the US has fibretapped the internet pipelines to the mideast, they could easily track who's looking at this leak in that region. [/conspiracy theory]
Or maybe it's just not classified enough for anyone to really care?
Yes, you're correct, except for the fact that the GP had called SCP "disco-era", in apparent disregard for the context of that phrase's usage. I was merely correcting the timeframe of SCP's inception.
OP said that FTP was for chumps, and that SCP was the new shizzle. GP said that SCP was just as disco-era as FTP. Parent countered that SCP was implemented in 1995, indicating that FTP is literally disco-era.
Even when an article is fully-locked, the history is still available, correct? If so, the pre-rewrite history should still be accessible, so I don't really see what everyone is making a fuss about. There's no impact on transparency, in that instance, it just takes a little more effort to see if anything is amiss.
While I don't have a comprehensive answer to this question, my two-cent contribution would be that the tax level of IP should be set according to its license status - an open or semi-open license would be very low tax, closed-source would be quite a bit higher, for example.
Sort of like taxes for charities and non-profits vs. corporations.
I suppose that's a valid excuse. And plus, it validates my view of myself, since I'm not said narcissistic blogger - my blog doesn't have a photo of me on the main page.:)

You also fail at apostrophes.
HOUSED.
I love that the machine is named the "Advantage".

But, then again, I'm from Canada - land of paper-based voting.
Ditto, but I might consider downloading it to do some seeding ... and also, if I'm *really* bored one day after the playoffs, I might watch it. :)

Sounds like you'd be a fan of Red Dwarf.

Smeghead.
XModem is for chumps. ZModem for the win!
Why does everyone on Slashdot seem to lack reading comprehension today? The GP accused SCP of being "still disco-era", so I corrected him.

Fair enough. :)
That's exactly what I thought, too :)
"Disco-era" is meant literally in the case of the original post, since its advent coincides with that of disco music.
And being one of the most widely used protocols doesn't mean it's not for chumps. It just means there are a lot of chumps.
... you probably recycle your waste electrons, too, don't you?
I dunno about you, but I downloaded my last two distro ISOs (Knoppix and Ubuntu) using BitTorrent ... :)
Disco-era? It was first implemented in 1995. That's the New Kids era, not the Disco era.
Further proof that FTP is for chumps. :) scp to the rescue!

Google should put the recipe for Nanaimo Bars on their front page :) It's a very tasty dessert ...

Ah yes - RFC Armani.
This story is depressing, and the comments relating to it are more so.
bah, who needs a vacuum cleaner that blows?
Now that you've won spectacularly, is it possible to pursue those damages?

A victory is a victory. No need to be extreme.
