MS - Still bad IBM - Good, this week, check back next week Linus - Good this week, insofar as I know Oracle - ??? (profit or no profit) Apple - Bad this week Disney - Still bad Amazon - Today they are bad, tomorrow..???
After their pockets have been suitably lined for the trouble-
Without owning the CD, or the rights, you can't:
Sing it, tell a friend, write it down, remember it, listen to a friend's copy, listen to it in someone else's car hear someone sing it (excepting the band, provided you paid them in the first place)
From the summary: "...'The one thing Apple's providing now is leadership in colors'..."
And this is the *best* thing MS can copy? Whatever happened to increasing security? Opening standards? Interoperability? Customer support? Fixing bugs?
In certain instances, knowingly murdering someone carries a maximum jail time of less than 8 years. For example (the one I am familiar with)sending a cleanup crew into an enclosed area (a gasoline tanker) without proper respiratory protection and knowing beforehand the enclosed area contains lethal amounts of chemicals. When they cleanup crew dies, the maximum jailtime imposed by Federal OSHA/EPA law is 8 years per person.
..Bricklin wants to change that and make creating Web sites as easy....
I know how to create a web site, I know all the goodies. You know *why* I can't create a good website?
I have no artistic talent. None whatsoever. I see all the nicely designed sites out there and think, "Sure, no sweat."
But then I try and they look horrible. All the HTML works fine, in fact the last site I did worked on 12 different platforms and were all viewed the same.
..I think the larger issue here is how do you balance security vs. ease of use. We are committed to providing a secure desktop operating system and make policy decisions about how to achieve a secure but usable system...
Sounds like PR speak to me...I could easily see Dilbert's boos (Bossbert?) saying this.
In addition, I find it very interesting in regards to his talk about viruses and how users have become accustomed to the viruses that "ravage" the windows world.
It's amazing to me that people will even *consider* it part and parcel of dealing with Windows that they can't even fathom there are alternatives (i.e. virus free ways of dealing with things), sad really!
That's a pretty massive attack

The funny thing is, I'm willing to bet money the zombies were all windows boxes. Although poetic justice would be to DDoS them with Unix boxes.
I own several Macs (as well as PCs) so getting access isn't an issue.......BUT, how good is the archive? For example, I listen to metal, 80s metal, not this "modern" rap-crap that pretends to be metal.
Does the store hold such gems as Destruction, or Venom tracks? Without it, Mac or no Mac, I'm not one of their targets.....eBay on the other hand...
And I *knew* someone would bitch about GPL vs. BSD style lic. issues. I *knew* it.
For the record, I don't use linux, I don't like linux (nor MS for that matter) and I don't pay attention to silly lic. issues.
I was just pointing out that the general spirit of the EULAs would be akin to those I mentioned and it would be nice if they distilled it down to that.
Sure, this is Hollyweird we are talking about, and they are hardly one to care about consistancy, but in the 1st movie, when Kyle comes back to save Sarah, he talks about that the humans had won and they'd smashed skynet. Skynet was basically in the death throes and sending out the last bits of machines to the past to try and win.
Assuming this is correct, where do all these 'spaecial advanced' cyborgs come from? Unless Skynet has time traval facilities all over the world that do nothing but send machines to the past.
Slashdot Mirror
It's the "Who do we like this week?" game-
MS - Still bad
IBM - Good, this week, check back next week
Linus - Good this week, insofar as I know
Oracle - ??? (profit or no profit)
Apple - Bad this week
Disney - Still bad
Amazon - Today they are bad, tomorrow..???
Okay, I'm done..who else has changed sides?
Can we slashdot it yet?

am I missing anything?
This is assinine.

Nope...gotta get them colours right...

Something to think about...
..Neil Stephenson's next book in the Baroque Cycle...
And here I sit, out of Monet.
Baroque of course, from trying to keep up with all the excellent books by David Drake (Hammers Slammers fame)
and shut down NASA.
And overhaul the whole ideal, scope and construction.
You *do* have this already planned, don't you Senator?
No? Well then, shut up until you do.

But it still looked like crap.
Anyone got some artistic talent they don't need?
a good joke about wardriving and France's military surrender history, but nothing springs to mind.
/. geeks go wardriving and are asked about it, the French would surrender to them anyway ;)
I'm willing to bet if enough

trust me, you do *not* want to know what a copy-protected RIAA CD smells like ;)
Dirty Rotten Imbiciles are going to work on a free and open project...glad to see punk music making the "crossover" with computers.... ...oh wait

Some crazy russian architect wanted to put a t-800 endoskeleton (about 100 feet tall) holding up a world, in a park in europe.
I submitted the story to slashdot, but got rejected.
I wish I could recall the website now (complete with CGI pics of the completed structure) but I don't.
IMO it was even cooler than this.
"So *that's* where Baghdad Bob is hiding", but with all the other comments, it's sorta moot.
Simple:
Gates: VERY BAD!
Ellison: BAD!
McNealy: BAD!
Carly (HP): VERY BAD!
IBM CEO: What day is it?
Linus: See above
JLG: Still my hero.
Rights? Look here Coppertop, you got no rights, get back in the tube.
And I *knew* someone would bitch about GPL vs. BSD style lic. issues. I *knew* it.

I was just pointing out that the general spirit of the EULAs would be akin to those I mentioned and it would be nice if they distilled it down to that.
to something like this:
GPL: "Do what you want with it, but give credit where credit is due"
MS: "You have no rights. All your base belong to us."
Sure, this is Hollyweird we are talking about, and they are hardly one to care about consistancy, but in the 1st movie, when Kyle comes back to save Sarah, he talks about that the humans had won and they'd smashed skynet.

Assuming this is correct, where do all these 'spaecial advanced' cyborgs come from? Unless Skynet has time traval facilities all over the world that do nothing but send machines to the past.
Which is why the post was supposed to be humor, but it's damn difficult to convey subtle humor in text form.
Good good good good vibrations...
Sorry, I'll stop now.
(1) Get involved with something radical
(2) Deny involvment
(3) Accept involvment
(4) ???
(5) Profit!
