This is an OPTIONAL filtering program. Like the v-chip.
optional like the v-chip? show me a recent a tv without one
furthermore, it's 'optional' for the consumer to turn it on, but not 'optional' for the ISP to implement it. if the ISP doesn't want to, they shouldn't have to. that said, if a customer calls up and says "i'm leaving because you don't filter content for me", the ISP must be able to accept that
the gov't needs to keep out of personal business. this is sick
afterall, they have shown thus far they have done an outstanding job protecting free speech thus far. nevermind those pesky, soon-to-be, $500k fines for subjective indecency...
"So, computers. I hear they basically break down to a bunch of ones and zeroes. I don't know how that means I can see naked women on my screen, but God bless you people"
something like that. they need to save up for the $500k per occurrence new FCC fines. and with Chris Rock hosting, they're probably trying to save up a few $20-40 million
Look, the journalist in this case didn't "accidently" release trade secrets. They had a public call for insider information (with anonymous tips) and publicised the availability of said information.
The US Gov't has what amounts to a public call to kill or capture Osama bin Laden. If someone kills him and brings him in, is that ok? That's ok, but someone writing something down on a piece of paper/web page needs to be severely punished?
In this country, we have something called freedom of speech and freedom of press. Those apply to citizens, *not* companies. Tough shit for Apple. If I want to write an article that says "Apple rumored to release vibratingdildoPod that holds 3000 songs" I should be able to without fear of being sued.
As an investor in Apple, I live in fear that the stock price will drop because someone _miss reports_ information and it is taken as truth. Sure they can print a retraction, but the damage is done.
Ah, so now the truth be told. It affects your bottom line, so lets restrict freedom of speech and freedom of the press for a while. That's ridiculous. *I* can't do something because *you* are offended? Freedom of speech is all-encompassing... it includes speech you may not like or you may find downright offensive.
ps - If you want a stable investment, don't buy stocks.
personally, i didn't mind when satellite still had commercials... they really weren't that instrusive
i haven't listened to regular radio in years (xm subscriber currently, moving to sirius). it's not because it's commercial free, but more because
1. i have plenty of choice. there are 100+ channels. i don't buy the "yea... 100 channels of shit" argument. if i'm feeling the blues, bam, got a channel. classic rock? got a few to choose from. on an ecstasy groove, a few channels for that too
2. it's cheap. for $10-$15/mo, I can listen to 720 hours of tunes. ok, i'm asleep for half, and probably not listening to a radio for another 70% of what's left over. that's still about 100 hours/mo i can listen. $.10/hour isn't bad. what's an hour of music cost on iTunes? $15?
3. i'm telling the FCC to go fuck themselves. regular radio is crap. everyone is offended by everything, and with the new legislation going through Congress to allow for fines of individual performers, forget it. i was tired of avril lavigne 2 years ago
4. regular radio plays the same shit over and over on 3 or 4 hour loops. want to hear that new jimmy's chicken shack? ain't gonna happen on regular radio. instead, you get to listen to that ultra hip new britney or ashlee simpson
frankly, i'm happy the deal didn't go through. imo, apple is a pretty shitty company when it comes to treating those who have helped them get where they are. if sirius partners up with someone else, great. and i hope they pound the shit out of apple
and it will continue to do so until Sun realizes this, then sues Microsoft again on the basis that they didn't get quite what they expected from the lawsuit
Slashdot Mirror
hmm, let's look at the facts
the person organizing the replacement (marco@) works with at lowest level of disks as a day job. he is very involved in all of the obsd scsi stuff
you agree that scsi is "outdated super expensive technology", but offer no facts, nor have you bothered to check the configuration they currently have
who should i consider more knowledgable in this subject matter?
for the kind of work that cvs.openbsd.org does, ide simply will not cut it
for storing big pr0n movies, ide works fine. for lots of cvs commits and checkouts and heavy i/o from nfs, ide sucks
that Apple equipment was bought by Theo using OpenBSD funds. Apple didn't donate anything, nor have they ever
here's what theo has to say about that exact Apple equipment
it's just another $13.2 million MS will have to fork over when they finally decide to buy corel

if you are going to maintain that code, just be sure you know what it does 2 weeks after you write it
<sarcasm>'cause you just now wrote it, and i don't know what it does</sarcasm>

the recent push for smp support in openbsd/i386 and openbsd/amd64 is largely in part of this new trend of dual core processors
i agree
regmon is perhaps the best utility out there for trying to get old apps to work on newer operating systems. where i work, that happens a lot
if this new tool is anything like their others, i'm sure it will be quite good
but yea, there's this huge conspiracy that they hold on to my rentals ... right
but he's looking for something that works out of the box
otoh, if he's ok building it himself, then $6k is a lot. but for something out of the box, perhaps not

nevermind the "if it's important, then $$ shouldn't matter" argument
is $6k just too much, or is 1TB just not enough disk space for $6k? in other words, if you could get 4TB for $6k, would would consider it?
that's great. really great
so instead, journalists should live in constant fear of what to report because it might cause someone else harm?
with that view, how long will it take for us, citizens of oceania, to expect an increase of our chocolate ration?
get rid of 'em. everyone will love you

How about not taking it in the first place?
nah. that'd be too easy. it's hard to make a profit off of well-designed software
"Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it."
if you're in favor of equal rights, let them get a "marriage" and don't invent a new, 2nd-class citizen-denoting term, "civil union"
and what's wrong with gays adopting children? are "dem faggots" really that bad? while you're at it, take away suffrage rights from blacks and women
and it will continue to do so until Sun realizes this, then sues Microsoft again on the basis that they didn't get quite what they expected from the lawsuit
that sounds familiar
