*stealing* a turbo charger and *stealing* a car are both *stealing*.
They are indeed, but he said buying a turbo legally. Or in this case, flicking the "on" switch for the built-in turbo (hint: turning a built-in turbo on != stealing a new turbo)
So how about giving mobile phones a Morse input mode, hacking at the 1 and 0 keys rather than playing around with the whole 3D keyboard? (2d layout, with each button having several letters)
They would have aborted Alan Turing and let the Germans win
They also would've aborted Hitler and WWII wouldn't have happened in the first place.
(Hitler being gay is very debatable, but that's not the point -- the point is that in any scheme like this, the "look at all the good people who would have died" argument doesn't hold, as an equal number of bad people would've died)
Fellow clueless wonder, did you even read my post? I never mentioned Osama -- To reiterate: Thanks to news reports like this, "Sept 11" is no longer a tragedy, but rather a political tool to make people miss points -- as you've just proved by missing mine.
I think it should be seen as a tragedy, but so long as people like yourself get over-emotinal and under-logical every time it's mentioned, it's just going to get more and more abused by politicians.
What did I say that was anti-US? I said I was fed up with "Sept11" being used as an excuse for things that are totally unrelated (really, how is a website defacement in any way comparable to several thousand people dying?). It's simple logic that if you want to give a reason for something, your reason should have some relation to the thing you want to do -- or is common sense against The American Way? Again, what logic is there in comparing a digital wargame to sept 11, other than to get attention and to jump on the "they mentioned sept 11, you'd have to be a terrorist to not support them!" bandwagon?
Is this footage downloadable anywhere? I've been following the stories (too poor to buy any next-gen systems, so admittedly only half-assedly), but not seen any links to it:/
We could all rewrite his crappy software in less time it takes to figure out how to use it.
Go on then; BK takes a few hours to set up - this story'll still be open to post to in a few hours. I shal be expecting your SCM as a reply by the time it closes~
Really, several years work and the best open source can come up with are subversion and arch, and BK is (according to all I've heard who use it, eg Linus himself) better than both put together. Don't take MS as the only example -- there are some cases where a corporation can make an app worthy of respect.
There is a video, but it's 80MB for 1 minute... Another reason I like pirates -- they make a better job of things than the official companies do; they don't have to bow to customers who refuse to upgrade, so they're free to use all the latest tech (codecs etc) -- this helps spread the tech for when legal users want it, and people like myself can use decent codecs and be fairly confident that the users'll have a compatible player. (5 minutes with mencoder's fast mpeg4 settings, and it can be cut from 80MB to 4 with no visible quality loss...)
to simulate an unprecedented, Sept. 11-like electronic assault... a devastating cyberattack that affects government and parts of the economy on the scale of the 2001 suicide hijackings
...
Will the American government please STFU about this already? Sure it wasn't very nice, but that's not a justification to tie it into every situation as a reason for doing things... By using "sept 11" as an excuse for every little thing, you're reducing the effectiveness where it matters:/
If you're talking about penises; not many -- somewhere on CNN or something there was a story about a guy who was having a penis replacement due to some motercycle injury, and temporarily had to have both at once until the new one was nicely settled -- he showed his girlfriend boastfully, and she left him in disgust.
What's amazing is that the Slashdot crowd, many of whom are vigorously anti-advertising, has embraced Google and does not regard Google as evil.
Google ads are simple text, and on-topic for the page that they're placed on, so I may actually be interested in what they're selling. Regular ads are painfully animated gifs, advertising stuff that I don't care about.
Advertising isn't evil by nature, it's just been implemented poorly by 99% of advertising companies
A website subscribes to the feed server-side, then prints it as part of the web page -- eg the boxes on the right hand side of the slashdot front page are keeping track of what's happening on other sites; the ads would be placed amongst those.
Tried WD40, the military rust remover / joint loosener? No idea how accurate the story is, but a FOAF was alledgedly selling his model boat collection due to fingers aching too much, and the vast amount of WD40 he absorbed while cleaning them up fixed him.
>>If the data is being created through abusive means, go after the source of the data.
>Uh, if you are hosting child porn, you are the host of the data
How did you manage to get "source" and "host" confused? Someone who rapes children and tapes it != someone who unknowingly has an encrypted version of that file on their HD. To reiterate his point -- stopping someone distributing videos doesn't stop the video having been made in the first place.
I don't know any people who download fansubs who also buy the DVDs
* Raises hand
I download all the time, and yesterday I went up to london for the expo - and went broke buying stuff, most of which I'd already seen. I also encourage (non-downloading) friends to buy, who do.
Every time I see this discussion it seems that those who don't buy because of fansubs and those who only buy because of fansubs even out. Also factor in that most people who pirate then don't buy wouldn't buy in any scenario, as shown by things like planetarian ($10 then HTTP download, takes ~5 minutes, easier than bittorrent, yet it still got pirated by the truckload).
Slashdot Mirror
So linux no longer has an active xscreensaver maintainer
RTFSummary... He's the maintainer of xscreensaver, along with a bunch of other less used (but still cool) linux apps
They are indeed, but he said buying a turbo legally. Or in this case, flicking the "on" switch for the built-in turbo (hint: turning a built-in turbo on != stealing a new turbo)

Good point... No matter who you let live or die, history'll still have highs and lows :|

I think the standard indicator for a major version bump is "Have we broken backwards compatability?"... What happened to warrant 1 -> 2 and 2 -> 3?

The point is to show off blender and some other apps, the movie is just a by-product -- the FFP seem to want to make their own tools
Wow, someone who likes slashdot's search feature :o

Given the temperature of my CPU, I'd think those would be the directions to quite the opposite place...

They already have; it's called freenet, and it's slow as a dead dog, just as requested :)
You really need to define "impractical" and "large"...
