  3. A lot will go unseen... on Vatican/HP To Put Library Online · · Score: -1, Troll

    If they put all of it up on the internet, it would discredit Christianity and the Catholic Church so much that it would be the final nail in the coffin.

    You would see so much persecution, anti-Semitism (up to and including WWII), covering up of atrocities not limited to witch hunts and pedophilia, and countless other horrors.

    Not to mention, it would bring out a lot of texts that would show just how modern Christianity and Catholicism was practically invented by Roman Councils picking, choosing, and editing text as they pleased, and how all the text of the Bible either came from oral history or history written 70 years after Jesus' death, of which none of the original texts still exist.

  4. Corporations = ruthless on Telcos Play Both Sides of Telemarketing War · · Score: 2, Troll

    Is this any surprise? Transnational corporations are some of the most heirarchal, authoritatian, and ruthless organizations to ever exist on the face of the Earth.

    To them, there is one bottom line: profit. Nothing else matters, and if people suffer from it, whether by telemarketing or in a child labor camp in Bangladesh, it does not factor into a corporation's equation.

    Those laws will never get passed, as Congress is thoroughly in the pocketbook of such business, and many of the Congressmen make their money simply by whoring themselves out to corporations.

    Nothing is ever done about the complaints for the do not call lists, and it seems that, due to technology, we're just going to have to put up with spam over all lines, both CAT5 and CAT3, until there's a serious change of government here in the US.

    It's ironic how all the punks who need to get a job always claim to be anti-corporate, DIY idiots, but the bands they worship like The Sex Pistols, The Dead Kennedys, and The Misfits were nothing but manufactured fashion trends, just like people always try to accuse my favorite bands (Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, Spineshank, Slipknot, etc) of being.

  9. "Real Punk" = lazy white kids on Never Mind The 25th Anniversary · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Real punk ethics are for lazy white kids too pampered and drug addled to get a job, the kind of people who go from the suburbs to the homeless shelters. People who can't play instruments don't entertain me, either -- it's very boring.

    Politics and music should be kept entirely separate -- idolizing someone like Jello Biafra or, on the other end, Ian Stuart can lead to some blind political choices.

    The DIY ethic, distrust of corporations, and the "scene" are just anarchistic (which doesn't mean punk) ideals. Punk itself is long dead and still lingers in forms of trendies, poseurs, emofags, Blink 182, and Straight Edge Earth Crisis idiots.

    Mallcore is where all the music is at -- real underground, pure enlightenment.

  10. They saved music on Never Mind The 25th Anniversary · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The Sex Pistols and all the bands that spawned from it seriously degraded music. As much as you may have liked their attitudes, punk requires no real talent -- they could barely even play a few power chords on their instruments.

    Fast forward to the the punk-inspired grunge revolution, where hair metal bands -- many including excellent guitarists such as Steve Vai, Slash, or Ritchie Sambora -- were declared obsolete, and Nirvana's minor-key power chording ruled the day. No solos, no exotic scales, nothing.

    Go forward from grunge and you have the mallcore bands -- my favorite genre -- such as KoRn, Limp Bizkit, Taproot, Adema, POD, Disturbed, and so forth, of which none know anything when it comes to scales, arpeggios, solos, etc; in many song, one string is played or bent. It's all about detuning and creating the proper timbre, not showing off knowledge of Lydian modes or doing sweep picking and so forth.

    There are no amazing guitarists to look up to today, unless you listen to power metal (Stratovarius, Rhapsody, Blind Guardian, etc) or evil power metal like Children of Bodom, and that's a good thing.

    Mallcore for life.

    But having a dog burn to death is a terrible, terrible thing.

    Our house burnt down when I was 6, and I watched as our family's golden retriever -- coincidentally named "Lucky" -- was trapped under a burning dresser it slept by in the living room. It let out howls of torment that haunt me to this day as it died slowly being helplessly charred as my mom covered my tearful eyes and my father was unable to save it.

    So please show some respect for Laika.

  12. Very true... on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1, Troll

    Those people truly are sick and sad, much like you describe.

    Many anime fans that I've personally watch degenerate, unemployed and living off their parents well into their twenties after dropping out of high school, do forgo basic things such as bathing, and due to lack of exercise are in poor physical shape and therefore completely unprepared to take the stress of even a simple job. All they do is accumulate tens of gigabytes of anime, much of it depraved and decadent, and even collecting Hentai, as they withdraw from all friends and family and listen to Tori Amos.

    They're not always schizophrenics, and many should seek professional help, though a swift kick in the rear never hurts, either.

    The only girls who like anime only like to watch it when they get stoned or drop acid, as with the other section of the less obsessive men.

  13. Bulwark on AIM And ICQ to be Integrated · · Score: 2

    For the rest of us, there has always been Trillian -- I guess they don't like it stealing business from their adware ICQ/AIM programs, so instead of trying to screw up older protocols, they actually decided to compete.

    As much as I hate the methodologies and idiologies of AOL, I applaud this move: it's a bulwark against the encroachment of MSN Messenger's .NET Passport, which will only lead to other bad things, including but not limited to Palladium. When it comes to things like IM, in the end there can be only one -- God forbid it be Microsoft and their schemes.

    True anime may have showed up here and there in the mainstream, but it lacks the appeal of American we-want-to-sell-toys cartoons, save for a few lousy watered down anime-based shows such as Pokemon, etc.

    It's no huge surprise that Cartoon Network is cancelling those shows, as the fanbase in mainstream America simply isn't large enough to support such a small group of Anime fans, as obsessive as they are.

    Stockholm, Sweden -Intentia International (publ.) announces the results of its internal investigation launched due to circumstances around the fact that Reuters published Intentia's fourth quarter results for 2002 prior to the scheduled publication on October 24th. "The investigation has been detailed and has included all relevant staff and processes that handle confidential information, as well as technical security," said Thomas Ahlerup, Head of Corporate and Investor relations of Intentia International AB.

    The investigation has shown that there was an unauthorized entry via an IP-address belonging to Reuters using an exploit in the web server. The entry took place at 11:51 pm on October 24th 2002, prior to the publication of the interim report for the fourth quarter of 2002. At approximately 12:57 pm, Reuters published the first news flash giving information on Intentia's third quarter result, without prior confirmation from the Company. Intentia issued its earnings report ahead of schedule at 1:22 pm that same day. "The incident has severely damaged confidence in us as individuals and in Intentia as a company, and has cost millions of dollars worth of damages" says Björn Flänsost, CEO of Intentia International AB.

    "We question the methods used by Reuters, and our judgement is that we have been the target of illegal actions. As a consequence we will file criminal charges regarding the incident, and will seek the maximum penalties for all those involved" says Björn Flänsost.

    On Thursday, Intentia contacted the Stockholm Stock Exchange regarding an internal investigation of the incident. "We will disclose to the Stockholm Stock Exchange all technical details on how the intrusion was made, which will allow them to share this information with other listed companies, so that actions preventing similar events in the future can be made," concludes Björn Flänsost.

  17. Here's the article on Group Outlines Specs For Linux-based Set-top boxes · · Score: 4, Informative

    HOUSTON, Tex.--The TV Linux Alliance here today announced the availability of its initial specifications for use in developing digital set-top boxes, based on the Linux operating system.

    The specifications, dubbed version 0.6, defines the functions for RF tuners and other components in Linux-based set-top boxes. It also outlines the application programming interfaces (APIs) for those devices, according to officials from the alliance. The TV Linux Alliance is a consortium that hopes to define a proprietary Linux environment for digital set-top boxes.

    The specification also simplifies the implementation of middleware and device drivers for the Linux operating environment. It also paves the way for support of industry-standard content specifications, such as DVB-MHP, Palladium, and CableLabs OCAP, said Dennis Thompson, chairman for the Austin-based alliance.

    "This specification is a long awaited solution that will accelerate the availability of new content and services, though it may include some porting and integration challenges," he said in a statement.

    The TV Linux Alliance consists of ACTV, Apple, ATI, Broadcom, Concurrent Computer, Conexant, Convergence Integrated Media, iSurfTV, Liberate, Lineo, MontaVista, Motorola, Pace Micro, ReplayTV, STMicroelectronics, Sun Microsystems, TiVo, Trintech, WebTV, and Worldgate.

  18. Open source, eh? on MITRE Corp. Report On Open Source In Government · · Score: 1, Troll

    So, do you distribute that hacked-to-hell "open source" code, if you're so confident in its abilities?

    Imagine if an Al-Qaeda hacker -- trust me, some computer science programs and IRC channels in this country and especially in Europe are not unlike those flight schools for them -- got ahold of some of that open-source code, browsed through it, and immediately found a really nasty root exploit due to some quickly-hacked up code.

    Do you think he would be altruistic enough to report it, or would he try everything he could to cause havoc -- perhaps give out wrong intelligence to troops so they could cause another Afghan Wedding Party massacre or Chinese Embassy bombing, or steal some valuable intelligence and use it to plan terror attacks?

    While open source is good, the DoD should be a bit more careful about being so open.

    If Al-Qaeda launched a professional attack against the internet, it could go down for weeks, and ICANN would be entirely to blame.
