I'm sure someone said this already, but you do know now the rest of the world will have very little sympathy when you get another 'terrorist bombing'.
Previously America could run with the forgiving line that they didn't consent to what George was doing, but now -- well, you've given your support to the war on terror. -- It was made very clear before the election that your enemy (ie. terrorists) consider civilians players in this war, each and every person living in america who voted BUSH now should consider themselves a soldier in this war... and as such, not complain if they get killed by the enemy.
At least there's a nice map published on CNN, so terrorists will know which states support the war (shown in a fitting color of red), so they'll be able to target their attacks on those states. New York and Washington are blue, so I hope the terrorists have enough manners not to target them -- but if you live in Florida... well.
Good luck, and all the best in beating the terrorists, it looks like you'll need it.
Noo, it's not bush we hate (well, not _only_ bush). It's the RIAA.
See: Bush is president, he invaded the country, but he, on his own, is useless so the whole administration must've been in on it.
If it's the administration we hate, then someone must've got those bastards in power. Listening to slashdot, it wasn't the american people... it was the corperations.
Therefore, we have the Record Industry to blame for the invasion of Iraq, because they payed to get the people into power who directed the war.
Actually being on the other side would probably be much better, the selection criteria is easier to meet and there are no rules of engagement. The biggest advantage of being on the other side is you will probably get decent training -- the person teaching you how to kill was probably trained by the CIA, not some boot-camp.
Though, you do need a lot of practice in nightmare mode of doom3 before you can qualify. You only get one life, and you're grossly out-numbered.
eD2k rewards people for uploading, but seems to reward people for sitting in queue better.
The way to effectively get files with ed2k is with a 10GB queue of content which you just forget about for a week or two. -- It's a bit of a culture change after kazaa and napster where you immediatly start downloading files.... but I suppose that was bound to happen when you move from exchanging 4mb mp3 files, to 4GB vob archives:)
You mean those days when you'd pay $5 per hour for dialup internet access, and any site you could think of would either have porn, or the terrorists handbook on it? When p2p file transfer ment being in #mp3 on IRC and trading with DCC server or running a ratio FTP site? Where the closest thing to email was something you'd use to talk to other people on your local BBS? Yes, I remember those days. It was before corperate america thought it could control the internet.
I think I'm probably the only person on this forum who (while I hate spam) respects that SPAM *MUST* exist, it's an icon of our freedom on the internet.
Rule out spam and porn, terrorists handbooks, cracks, serials anti-patriotic (read anti-government) websites and foul language will be next. -- Is that *really* the internet you want to be forging?
The only problem with that is that hackers have a tendency not to respect robots.txt.. in fact, it's a great index of stuff to have a look at on public websites.
Kinda like that DVD regioning shit which the EU Union found to be unlawful business tactics?
I love protected local industries... "hey, our cars are more expensive and less reliable than our local industry... lets put import laws in so we don't have to lift our game to keep people employed"
Insurance companies are all about managing risk, also, insurance companies KNOW YOU BREAK THE LAW.
If you're at fault in an accident, chances are you were doing something wrong.
Just to step back to the first point, I've got quotes that show it'd be cheaper for me to insure a (5 year old) BMW 760Li for $80,000 (yes, thats a 300kw V12 car) than it is for me to insure my (10 year old) $16,000 turbo Subaru.... Why? Because nobody crashes expensive BMWs.
I recon' it'd just be a matter of time when insurance companies start LOWERING their premiums because of black box recorders, and give you two options... 1. pay cheap premiums, but don't be covered if you were doing something illegal, or 2. pay a high premium and the insurance company destroys your black box and covers you regardless.
I remember demonstrating the same thing with an electric fence and my sister when I was about 10... Still, I think the PO might see a difference between grabbing an electric fence to transfer shock to another nearby person, and turning the body into a LAN.
When you're finished trying to tell the general public that, I dare you to try to explain that acceleration is a vector mesurement and can't be worked out by "difference in speed"
Oh god how true is that. I keep asking my good friend "How do I stop publishing xxx to the internet", the answer is "Turn on the firewall service and block it"
Now, forgive me if I'm confused here, but wouldn't it be better to say "Don't BIND to my external interface" rather than, "Open a port on the external interface, put all the hooks, code, memory needed aside to get a connection.. good.. now block any connection attempts"
DHCP, DNS, IIS and FTP all allow you to only bind to one interface... why doesn't MS SQL Server, Active Directory or SMB?
*NOTE: I know you can try to unbind file and print sharing off an interface, but do a netstat -a... they're left open even when it's unbound.
Really? Microsoft are thinking about selling virus scanners???
That comes as a huge suprise to all the RAV users out there who had to move to something else because microsoft purchased the company and pulled support for linux.

By posting in a thread you're unable to moderate it... the grandparent was a joke.
Now LAUGH you insensitive clod.
Last time I tried to ride my Ducati into an elevator (like they do Here) the receptionist had a few not very nice things to say....

Slashdot just moved stuff that matters :)
Not just YOUR country mate.
Though, half my blame lands on our esteemed prime-minister John Howard...

I dunno, but America still did a pretty good job of winning the war in Iraq with them...

I hear a lot of people died in iraq too... does that mean they believed george told the truth? .. Food for thought.

"But the key is moderation. The researchers found three beers would have the opposite effect."
But they didn't say anything about 24 BEERS!
One for each hour of the day.
mmmmm beer.

Actually Darwin called it "Survival of the best fit", not the fittest.

Hey, the people who created it never passed the 4th grade -- I would've said they are EXACTLY the people equipped to understand these concepts. :)
How long until we get some new slogans from the BSA... I've got some really effective ones lined up:
- Pirating music causes lung cancer
- Copying videos will harm your unborn child
- Stealing music harms others
Stopped everyone from smoking didn't it?
