The way i viewed it was much akin to the Australian censorchip laws. Its probably a token political effort designed to say theyre protecting the children and stopping terrorism. Its extremely hard to pin down anything really, and if you want to remain unknown, theres always the library.
So I'd say, its political point scoring, with no real teeth to it. But hey, it could always be that they progressed to the next chapter of 1984.
Im not saying whats right or wrong, im saying he could possibly sue however.
Person A puts up a website about X. Wayback Machine archives this website. Later, unbeknownst (sp?) to the Wayback Machine, Person A is sued by someone who controls or has copyright on X, and its taken down. Yet that copy is still on the Wayback Machine.
What if the Wayback Machine archives a link to Decss? They do archive forums, i;ve checked numerous old old posts of forums through the wayback machine.
I just think its a bit iffy about archiving stuff...
I think the question is not about its being publicly available, but rather about it archiving web pages that were taken down at later dates for various reasons.
Its legally grey, and all it really takes is for some paranoid person to sue, and then the fireworks start.
You have to get a license to use a car, and the certainly doesn't imply that cars are better for it.
But it certainly makes the roads safer. A bit of a tangent, but everyone SHOULD understand how to use a computer, and have a fairly basic understanding of how it works.
I know the road rules for others safety, i know how to drive a car for everyones safety, and i very basically understand how a car works, so if there is a problem, i might be able find a proper solution quickly (like, brakes gone, use your gears to slow down).
Drawing parallels to computers, if everyone knew how to use a computer, then they could gain a lot more productivity, there would be a lot less viruses out there transferred by idiots, and the software could focus on speed and reliability, not "cool" features. Thats not a yay or nay for any particular sections of computers, just an increase of productivity, and better bang for our buck.
Computers and cars are a lot more similar than first noticed, IMO.
Its not a random person at all, the admin was delegated control by the precursor to ICANN. He's been doing this for free for almost 10 years, from what I have been told.
The government is seeking control of the.za domain, and the admin want's to get rid of it. But he doesn't want to give it to the government with the laws and controls they want to put on the.za domain. The government are the total morons in this issue, mainly because they cannot understand the internets DNS and processes of that.
Uhhh, unless your running some new theories, raising the atom above its normal state requires the input of energy, so THAT has energy stored. Hydrino's (theoretically) are in a lower state than hydrogen, so for them to be made, that energy would need to be lost. So no energy storage.
Music is about pop culture nowadays, and that what sells the most. The oldies buy the older, more thoughtful remasters and the releases from the older artists, while the teen generation buys the music thats in and happening.
Parallel this to even one decade ago. Kids were buy the latest "Goosebumps" book, the latest pop fiction book, dealing with teen issues of love and friends (remarkably, like pop songs). The older people are buying the latest offering from the established authors.
It sounds EXACTLY like the music industry of today. The young buy the pop books and culture, and older buy the remasters and the established artists.
The only real reason that nysync are number 1, and not that latest michael crawford album is because of airplay. They both selling the same, but the airplay is a lot more for nsync, and billboards are 75% airplay (or marketing, if your prefer), and 25% sales.
You're a lawyer? Heck i don't know crap about law, but i was under the impression the the article on Red Hat's page was a free license to any software projects that use the mentioned software licenses. If a closed-source project uses that, the they'll enforce. I fail too see how this makes it null and void. Care to explain?
Thats right, get over it. The precedent in slashdot was set when a lot of posters told us Aussie to get over our shitty cable modems.
The businesses are going to keep sending up prices, and finding new ways to tax the consumer. It would be half-acceptable if they bought it down again in times of growth, but they don't. So first of all, if you don't want to get reamed, don't get cable.
But if you want cable, there are a few options. First of all, contact you industry ombudsman, if you have one. Also lobby the nearest democrat member of congress and the senate, make sure your complaints about this discrimination reaches someone who could possibly give a shit, and do something about it.
In other words, if you cannot change from AT&T to another cable server or adsl, make sure yo fight dirty (a.k.a political). What is another option is to publicly shame AT&T, perhaps with a few letters to the editor of you local newspaper. So instead of bitching about it, get over it, and do something about it. The more people that give a shit, the more people that read about it, the more bad publicity the company will get, and that WILL get their shareholders pissed.
(Recent example of bad publicity at work, our biggest bank in Aus (NAB) were making a drastic change to their reward scheme. Quite a few people got pissed, and they half-reversed the scheme just as quickly as they had announced it. Bad publicity works, and it starts with their own customers.)
FFS Mods, its got something to do with the fucking article posted. Stop being dipshit moderators and save your points for good clear-thought posts, and for modding down the trolls. Don't use pissy offtopic moderations for a reasonable request like the parent. FFS some moderators, they're like a fucking disease.
Go on mod me down, you'll prove me 100% correct. (And see these idiot moderators explode their brain with the reverse psychology).
I don't have any info about this (couldn't be bothered looking it up), but that lone dissenting voice against the patriot act? Whoever it was, they at least voted with common sense in the instance. It couldn't of been good for their re-election chances either.

Not the same. This kid was crying out for attention and to show off something so he would be noticed. Idiots who drink drive aren't crying out for attention or need loving. They might be depressed, but its got nothing directly to do with a dysfunctional family.
This particular script kiddie = crying out for attention. Drunken drivers = Idiots who are irresponsible.
So yet another case of government intruding privacy, and yet the same government is against encryption, embraces companies that sell privacy info and can't make a proper bill about privacy?

Im in Australia, all you have to do is sit down. At least i do here.
Actually, your post reminds me. Wasn't there some sort of backdoor/bug/virus which allowed remote users to view your computer video camera?

At least i can freely admit it.
The parent to my post was trying to make logic of the slashdot moderation system, you and I know that's pointless.
I could be dumb, but then again, I don't make a fool of myself trying to work out slashdot moderation.

IANAL.

Yeah and the root name servers are controlled by ICANN, the people who endorse the administrator.
So to get the name servers to point elsewhere they would have to lobby ICANN, but since ICANN are supporting this guy, its unlikely.
