I can't tell ya about what it was in 94/95, but i can tell you what its like now.
Slackware is another Linux distrobution (much like redhat, mandrake, suse, or debian), its another version of linux, which seems to keep a few ideals in all of its releases, mainly keep it simple, i wouldnt call slackware a rough distrobution by any meas, it just kinda sorta expects that you have some inkling what you are doing (and doesnt try to do everything for you), for me, slack says how high when i say jump. So it keeps things simple, slack also uses a BSD style init over a SysV style init (think redhat), and uses its own package system which to me is the most unix-ish way of doing things (a shell script and some binaries).
All in all slack = full featured, but simplistic in its approach.
that is business, and that is what you get for dancing with the devil. Rugged, worn and torn the machine marches on, with your employee's no less.

tough break but its a holiday in cambodia.
no disease suddenly crops up. Unless introdcued (which we would be doing ala the spanish->inca's)
but you must consider that perhaps a disease of ours wouldnt survive on mar's? (which is more than probable), diseases and parasites build up for a long time, they adapt and brood and then become a problem again, for a disease to happen, the host must be liveable for the disease itself. Anyways I wont get into the details, you get the point, the book 'plagues and peoples' is a really cool book that goes into the history of the world, through the history of diseases and such, and how (possibly) each one came to be and what it took and such.
Anyways, seeing as we have to wear space suits and 'climate controls', don't you think any virus we brought with us that learned to coexist with us would require those same elements?
or maybe we are about to see a new leap in disease, where the parasite was ready to evolve to a climate/ecosystem completely different from anything its ever seen, and we just happened to land on mar's the same day...
id add that this problem goes way back before the dmca, the internet or even computers...well maybe not computers, i cant think of the years in my head right now, anyways back in the late 1800's business law changed alot, and one fundamental ruling screwed everything up, namely- a supreme court ruling said that a business has all the same rights as a person, so as everyone complains about how the.gov needs to protect the people and not the corpoation, well legally they are!
there are other laws that need to be fixed is my main point.
research your local area and find out when the last time a company charter was revoked....
anyways i'd like to see a direct democracy in that we vote for every bill that these people who 'represent' us come up with, i.e. they write them, we vote them in/down- then it we couldnt bitch when things like this become law.
hahahaha
i ran across that article the other day looking for something on raw sockets which spirred me to write a long 'your an idiot' letter. It was definatly the way the guy signed the 'advisory' that made me want to write him instead of just ignoring the idiot.
and it was so long i cant believe i read the whole thing.
i will have my mirror of it up
within a week i should have an english translation
at one point in time, our american forefathers trew tea into the harbor as an act of protest...that too was illegal
and no it has already been requested that i do not host this on my main site.
Not that it's really related, or that I don't think the guy was an idiot, but I found it interesting to know that the search warrant for the raisethefist.com guy was 38 pages long!
For anyone that doesn't know, they are normally 1 page long and everything they are looking for is just a long run on sentence.
as someone who found himself answering/reading such a mass amount of (work)/non work related emails, I have to agree.
At no time did I think any of those computers were mine, and thus had no control over them, and thus didn't feel the right to not have it seized need be.
Acording to what reason's I may object morally, but the bottom line is they aren't mine.
My laptop on the other hand...
that i worked at a university recently that was developing software to track down sony specific trackinh program, meaning it looked for sony movies/songs/etc
