    Exactly. Now the coders who make Gator and the people who put the spyware into Kazaa, and These Assholes who wrote Java spyware and the fuckin dick who first wrote onUnLoad="javascript:window.open() are people who don't deserve to be considered for hire. They put their skills to use for evil.

  3. how odd that worldcom is good & NYT bad on Adrian Lamo Surrenders · · Score: 1

    In their respective reactions to Lamo (L4M30) worldcome is the nice guy, saying thanks - we're glad you pointed it out and the NYT is the bad guy, getting the FBI involved and having him arrested. I didn't expect such a scenario.

    If someone pointed out to me that my windows were really easy to open and I should get some window locks (which they are and I did) I would be glad that he told me. If he opened one and went in and left a note in my wife's panties drawer telling me this I'd be a little pissed off and scared.

    I guess he crossed the line.

  7. someone should write a virus that targets these... on Spammer Hangout's Membership Roster Left Exposed · · Score: 1

    I'm as fed up with virii as the next guy, but if someone were to write a virus that sent email to the addresses on this list and any other known spammer addresses that would be funny. I can see the media running with it.

    speaking of viruses, there are viruses that harvest email addresses for propagation reasons, like Iluvyou which took from your contacts folder. Do you think there are viruses out there that harvest email addresses for marketing/spam reasons. Do a silent install, spreading not through email but through some other exploit (like msblaster), silent harvest and a silent send to some compromised servers with set up repositories perhaps on a web server. Then with proper cloaking and several nodes of filter go in and get the addresses every so often. It's not filling up peoples in boxes with virus-mail, it's not rebooting their systems, it would still slow the network down but only those running snort and other detection mechanisms would catch it. hmm. I bet you could package that in a freeware media player or some other pos shareware program with a license that says exactly this and charge money for the addresses. Then, instead of being the scum of the earth and going to jail, you'd be a hero like those bastards at brilliant digital and Gator and be legally protected. (lawmakers are so full of shit when they can't tell the difference between trojans and, well...trojans).

    Anyway, now I'm really off topic, but the other thing I can't understand about viruses is why no one has created a virus that sends all of the messages in your inbox/sentbox to all of the recipients on your list. I bet there are lots of secrets people don't want going all over the place. Salary negotiations, love affairs, future lay-off plans, etc. Would suck in real life, but would be funny if it were fiction, like in a movie, that would be hilarious. I think I'll patent this idea, just to see if a patent on a virus is legal. haha. then if it ever happens (knowing I won't write it myself) I can sue everyone who has the virus for patent infringment ala sco. haha. I'll be RICH beyond all imagination.

    wooo! hooo!

    Is that a death threat? Perhaps I should get a subpoena for your IP from slashdot. If you read my reply to *crow* you'll see that I'm not a commie. you jumped the gun as so many people do. You are the living breathing example of why people like crow use 9/11 to beef up their arguments. People like you will instantly think..oh he tied it to 911. to disagree would be unamerican. and anyone who does is a liberal commie traitor. it's not that simple. you can disagree without being a liberal or a commie or a traitor. Believe it or not, "with us or against us" is not the way it really is in the real world. small minded people like yourself may like it better that way. You feel safer if someone else tells you who to hate (blacks, gays, the french, feminists) and who to love (business owners, baptists, fat white men (like yourself?)) but the rest of us use our brains. We think for ourselves. We make our own opinions. A smart person would have said "why are you sick of hearing about 9/11" instead of calling me a commie and wishing I was dead. by the way. in wishing more people had dies in 9/11 are you not in some way giving your support of the attack. Couldn't I, if I were a talk radio host, turn your words around to be something like this: A.C wishes more americans would have died in 9/11. He wishes that not only would an innocent slashdot poster have dies, but an American Congressman as well. Perhaps this AC feels that the attacks of september 11th didn't go far enough. Perhaps he wished that the whitehouse would have gone down too. Or capital hill. it's terrorist supporting assholes like this A.C. that are tearing apart this country...blah blah. I wonder if I got you to hate yourself. YOur weak minded enough that you might have fallen for it. Now, for 10 seconds, try to use you fuckin head and think that maybe I'm sick of hearing people desecrate the memory of 9/11 to push their own personal agenda. Surely even a ...coward like yourself can understand that. can't you? think before you make a knee-jerk death threat next time.

    another thing dickwad. If you are justifying the DOS attacks because it isn't fair to blacklist the only isp in brazil...aren't the DOS attacks more like terrorism than blacklisting? isn't that like blowing up buildings because you think you have a beef with the US. Seems to me YOU are the one with the exact same attitude that was used to justify 9/11. So fUCK OFF. Using 9/11 to help make your point is lame. It's bullshit and I'm tired of hearing people do it. it's too easy. it's like my point....something about 9/11...and then POW instantly to disagree with me would be a disgrace to the memory of the victims of 9/11. FUCK That Shit. You are a disgrace to the memory of 9/11 if you are gonna go around using it to help support your point in entirely unrelated conversations. They didn't die so that you could win a fuckin debate on slashdot about spammers and isps in fuckin brazil. Take your guilt trip 9/11 tie ins and shove them up your ass.

  11. Re:Nonsense. on DoS Assaults Underway Against Spam Blocklists · · Score: 1

    I never implied that you brought 9/11 into every conversation. I understand the importance of remembering it, like the alamo. My point is that I've got 9/11 overload. I don't know about you, but my experience isn't related simply to slashdot. 9/11 is on TV every hour of the day. 9/11 or something based on how we're going to deal with 9/11 is on the radio every hour of the day. Even on slashdot 9/11 comes up quite a bit. Everytime there is some story of the PATRIOT act, everytime there is a story on some monitoring device or cameras in every city or DARPA's next big plan. Everytime someone says "in light of the new world since 9/11 we feel this is necessary blah blah" or someone else will say "if it can prevent another 9/11 I don't mind giving up this freedom". I'm sick of it. 9/11 has ruined many lives. The reprecussions of 9/11 haven't even come close to stopping. It's a terrible tragic day that continues to ruin our world. I'd like to go a whole day without hearing it not because I'm a commie as the anonymous coward said, and not because I'm tired of hearing you say it, but because when I do go a whole day without hearing it we will have healed quite a bit as a nation. I still hear about it every day because people are still dealing with it every day. Someday it will come up as often as 12/7. It will no longer be an open wound on the psyche and hearts of this great nation and at that time we will be much more healed. I hate hearing about it because I can't wait for that day. so quit being such a sensitive clod.

I care about 911. I lived through 911. I mourned with the country on 911. But somehow I can't fuckin wait until that day comes and I make it 24 hours without hearing someone bring up 911.

  13. ALL ABOUT CONTROL on Small Webcasters Sue RIAA · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As many others have pointed out already, this is all about control. They can control the radio so that you hear the same 7-10 songs every hour. The only time you hear something outside of that block is when someone has a new album coming out and you hear all their old stuff that week. They never play anything else. They never play anything different.

    There are far too many internet radio stations possible for them to be able to buy them all the way they've bought radio (Payola..don't argue this fact. Radio is paid for. ASK anyone in radio before you argue this fact). As a result I can go online and listen to nothing but bob marley, or protest songs from the 60s or polka or russion techno or even just plain old 80's cheese. NOt during lunch. NOt once a year on some special holiday weekend. anytime I want. They can't use internet radio to push this week's hot new albums or the billboard top 40 adn it pisses them off to no end. So instead they're gonna price the fees in such a way as to kill off all the internet radio stations except for a handful who will undoubtedly sign special contracts agreeing to pay less in exchange for "format control". the result: You get less. You get less music. You get less variety. You get to expand you mind and musical boundaries less. YOu get to hear your old favorites less. YOu get less.

    RIAA gets more control.

    That ain't right. Internet radio should NOT have per-listener fees.

I just wonder who messed up - and more importantly, who is supposed to make the decision?Seems like there must be a legal definition somewhere of what a trade secret is, and I wonderif DECSS was indeed a trade secret by that criteria. If so, is it still, seeing as how it's not a secret anymore. I still find it hilarious that a kid unraveled their precious secret. ha-ha-ha-haaa-haaa. M-P-A-A Suxors.

    NO, I haven't yet read the article. But despite the fact that my post is matching my sig today, this is still on topic. Take away the PATRIOT Act, and the RFID crew don't expect benefit from tying RFID to the anti-terror campaign.
