I understand that several copyrights to free software have been given to FSF; have you ever considered sueing to profit from violations of these copyrights?
Japanese food does kicks ass compared to anything else I've ever eaten.
Does anyone really believe that being able to say "Tu est sourd-muet." makes me smarter? If not for my foreign language requirements I could be learning something more valuable during fourth period(; highly unlikely considering how much my school sucks.)
here it is in English. Oriental languages still sound weird when translated to me; why the hell can't the entire world switch to English(first choice) or Esperanto and save me the trouble of babelfish!?
A lot of the "old school" stuff works more reliably in more situations with less hassle.
I primarily prefer command line interfaces, as opposed to GUI or curses/ncurses, because it is so damn easy to script it. I can encrypt all.jpg files in my web directory that I own with a single command.
Another example of "old school" being the better choice is in security. I have the logger daemon piping output to a dumb terminal so that I can watch what's going on. I'm about to add a second that displays httpd logs.
Old school games are also better; even after porting/usr/games/fortune to the web, winshit/wine, OS X, and OS 9, I still keep the console version on every box of mine (all of them are Linux, even the palmtops.)
Maybe we should have a no-GUI holiday in which we don't use curses, X11, Aqua, or winshitgui.
Please note that the winshit download has yet to be tested.
after I realized that it was crap? Regretfully not.
I don't think that the court is deciding damages, but rather forcing the defendent to buy a license to manufacture the technology from the plaintiff or stop manufacturing it.

I considered sending bills to spammers that used my bandwidth without permission. None of them paid.
I suggest that if you do anything as a responce, it should be to send them a bill for your wasted time. Call them on their hypocricy and do the rest of us a favor.
BTW, if I get get one email about this shit I'll raise some hell and subscribe some people to some mailing lists.
have the unique ability to work over any serial connection.
This means that I can use it across the country through a modem link. (Yes, there was a mystic and magical times when modems were more than glorified(degraded?) sound cards!)
USB uses a more complicate controller/device model making it impossible to recreate such a link without reverse engineering the device in question and implementing an emulator.
Yes you can implement a terminal over USB; I did so with my Sharp Zaurus. No it was not fun, and yes I missed rs232(foo232, bar232, or whatever the hell it is these days.)
Dumb terminals are cool because they operate on the foundation of digital communication. I can plug one into my palmtop(Linux Zaurus), desktop/server(Linux Offbrand(w/ two floppies!)), graphing calculator(hp49g), printer(from a commodore:)), or modem(anything external). It will work.
KVMs are a bitch, and many places have unused dumb terminals in stock for sale. In our world of fancy X servers and virtual terminals the dumb terminal still has a place, if not just as a terminal. Why not run a while loop of fortune and sleep to it?
Anyone have some export-restricted cryptographic dumb terminals? I'm in the USA, but my government doesn't mind the import of crypto. I'll pay $5/terminal if you pay for shipping.
For those that are wondering, dumbies make excellent devices for printing realtime security logs. Be sure to prepend ^G to every message, don't expect to sleep in the server room.
so that you have two firewalls back2back and the other boxes behind it? It's a bit extreme, but worth it if your cable company is composed of jackasses.
Most users just want web access, and this technique doesn't work on proxies.

Hate to break it to you, but although the cultures may seen similar to use "White Devils" China is Communist whereas Japan isn't.
Don't give me that socialist crap either. Socialists charge high taxes, they don't run tanks over student protestors.

Making movies with a text editor may be a bit more involved
