  1. Re:Perl Beginners on Ask Larry Wall · · Score: 1

    Languages are always evolving, depreciating some commands, introducing new ones... But foundations will always be there unless you are going from say C to C++ or Turbo Pascal to Delphi. Even then, knowing the basics is always better.

    I think this modding to 5 is a little bit too much. Seriously, if you are only scratching the surface of a language, how much are the revisions truly going to affect you?

    It is obvious that the article/message/email posted is a troll generated by a someone who gained access to Linus' account.

    I do not believe that Linus would say such things, especially when we know that wacking someone can be as expensive as fighting it out in court.

    The day will reveal this message to be a hoax!

    This message is about as true as going to goatse.cx to see what's coming down the pipe!

  10. Re:Hrm... on Copyright Infringement In the News · · Score: 1

    And do you think the law is being actively enforced? Why waste police resources on something so difficult to track.

    I think once it becomes $0.79, it will be very worthwhile to cap down on.

    Also my guess is you didn't buy from FutureShop, RadioShack, etc. The little computer guy down the street probably isn't charging the tarrif but bigger more visible stores do.

    It also depends where the tariff is being applied, at import, or at POS. To be effective it should be at importing, which would mean CDs are coming in other ways (such as Indian reservations) and that it just isn't a priority to enforce.

    Actually its just not financial LOSS for me. I get to sample before I buy...

    Of course, since I'm boycotting, my small collection of MP3s of out of production CDs is really no loss since I can't buy them to give them the money.

    I think I want a FUNNY rating on this message.

    But let's say they, the RIAA downloads 2,000 copies of a song. Which user is guilty? The original poster? The last person to be downloaded from, or all 2,000 people who were downloaded from?

    From my understanding, the RIAA would have to download the same piece of work from the same user many many times.

    How long before the P2P software starts to track which user downloaded what and just ensures that the same piece isn't downloaded multiple times.

    I think the real concern should be for the software pirates and not the music and movie pirates, as those works only retail for $1-30 a piece... But software can really add up.

    That 180 days is also difficult, but again, all the hunters have to do is keep a snap shot of your current inventory and compare it 6 months later if they find you.

    But alas.. I'm in Canada, so we don't have this law, but I'm sure those weak-assed, lying, Liberals will only too soon pass a law.

    Afterall the blank CD tarrif is slated to go from $0.29 to $0.79 a disc. When they do that, there will be more money in smuggling CDs then smokes. I guess it will be to the Indian reservation for my new cache of CDs... Hell, the margin is high enough that I might bring them across on my own.

  18. Contacting your Service Provider on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    Up here in Canada, AT&T is redirecting listen4ever.com to some lame site. To fix this problem, I recommend that everyone takes the time to contact the staff at their favorite ISP and ask them to investigate why they aren't being routed correctly.

    To Mr. AT&T,

    In recent days I have noticed inconsistencies in your routing of certain domain names. As a paying customer, I feel that the service level I have come to expect from you has been diminished. Could you please investigate why this domain (http://www.listen4ever.com) is not being routed correctly. If you compare it to the site in Google's cache (http://www.google.ca/search?q=cache:1gGgIJXQZwkC: listen4ever.com/tapeview.asp%3Ftapeid%3D2123+%22li sten4ever.%2Bcom%22&hl=en&ie=UTF-8) you will see that the information sent to the user (me) differs from what non AT&T customers see.

    The routing errors discovered here makes me question the reliability of your service in regards to domain names such as yahoo.com, slashdot.com, and even your own, rogers.ca.

    Thank you for your time,

    Simple, now everyone do it and let the battle between customer and ISP begin.
