Yes, it is, however you have to remember one thing: the RIAA are gouging us and the artists. No, it doesn't make it any more legal or less immoral, but you do have something to protect you from feeling guilty.
My God, get over it. If it's really that secretive, then don't you think that it would be easier for somebody to just pay off the dry cleaners to shove a little microphone into your suit? I highly doubt that you're every going to say something so secretive that you need a damned encrypted phone. Get over it...just because people can listen doesn't mean they want to. Ever wonder why people don't go and sit next to you on the park bench when you're breaking up with your girlfriend? No, it's not 'cause you're speaking a different language that uses a different md5'd hash every 30 seconds, it's 'cause nobody cares.
If people care that much then they'll find another way. Remember, it doesn't matter how secure your telnet session is if you don't check the end of your PS/2 mouse for a bugging device!
Hahaha! How original! Next thing you know you'll be subsituting the S in MS for a dollar sign ($)! It's a good thing we have creative people on this earth.
I was simply stating that his racial slur is completely and totally unfounded. I'm not saying that he should call Arabs or Indians "sand niggers," I'm just saying that if he's going to call an Indian a sand nigger, he should realize that that doesn't even make any sense.
But unlike the Arab world, there are very small concentrations of people living in the deserts because there is so much fertile land to live on. Lord, why the hell am I wasting my karma on this?
However much of a troll that was, I think I need to intervene: how can you call an Indian a "sand nigger"? There is little to no sand in India. You could call an Arab a "sand nigger" (not condoning it, just saying that iwould make sense), but certainly not an Indian. They are very different. Maybe a Pakistani, but that name is certainly Hindi/Sanskrit and he's from India and certainly not near any sand. If you're going to do racial slurs, at least do them right.
Although an OS X port may be music to your ears, this announcement was billed as "music to your ears," which sort of insinuates that it will have something to do with Apple and music.
There's a huge difference: the tech comunity goes crazy when Apple announces anything, and even crazier with the speculation. You have to admit, it is a lot more fun to gossip about Apple (as much as you might think that their products are overpriced, you know that if they were all free you'd take them in a heartbeat) than to gossip about Gateway's new LCD screen or whatever. And plus, Apple doesn't release new products all that often, and when they do, they are some of the coolest things...ever.
Invasive? Hardly. The only reason that they ask for your e-mail address is so that if you want they can send you stuff. I'm sure when they made it they weren't thinking, "hm...let's give them the option of not disclosing their e-mail address, screwing up db records, so that they won't be subpoened by a bill that hasn't yet been even thought of." And get real...the US would never put your NYTimes browsing habits on display in a court. We haven't yet gotten to that point. Anyway, spend your efforts lobbying to get the PATRIOT act repealled, not fooling a free service so that you don't have to be paranoid. Oh yeah, and I'm sure that just the fact that you're registered is more important than some arbitrary name or e-mail address. Just register with fake information if you wish...it will be more helpful to them than nothing.
I don't read Salon, but I must say that that was a damn good article. Read it, and I'm sure that you'll agree. Just for the record, I'm not saying anything about Salon. But the few articles that I've read have been pretty good, albeit obviously liberal.
So now you're reduced to not even stealing things that should cost money, but stealing the accuracy of their statistics for the number of readers? Jesus, spend 30 seconds and sign up (no, they don't spam you, trust me) and then you can feel as if you're giving something back to the damned writers of these articles. Y'all should be lucky that you're getting this for free and without spam, Jesus, spend 30 seconds and don't be such a fucking lazy bum.
Circumventing NYTimes.com is just dumb. They don't spam you and the least you could do for one of the best pieces of journalism in the nation is at lest tell them that you're reading. There is no reason why you shouldn't sign up. Jesus, it's FUCKING FREE.
Dammit. The Catholic church is the only church that would screw up 4/20 by shoving the holiest day of the year right down on top of it. Yeah, well smoke this, God!
By the way, does anybody else find it funny that if you do a Google search for 420, most of the sites are down? Including High Times magazine!

Who gave Colin Powell a Slashdot account? First tying to link Iraq to September 11, and now trying to link evolution to terrorism? What's next, Syria!? Oh...right...
But this is an ISP, not a highly connected-to-the-clients network server. Unless they found an easy way to get every subscriber to edit their registry or download a file that links to their server instead of the regular one, this ain't gonna happen. And getting users to do things on an ISP can be difficult.

They already have. It's called J#.NET. I guess nobody ever told them that you can't have a # in a second-level domain name.
This article is so good, I want to read it again! Let's all submit it...maybe we can get CmdrTaco to repost it!
Must've gotten her drunk when you entered the password.

...er, or rather, "memoriam." M-W: "in memory of -- used especially in epitaphs"
Actually, I think it's "memorium," if you're referring to the Nirvana song. It's good to know we have some cultured Slashdotters. :-

As far as I'm concerned, neither Alcoholics Anonymous nor AAA have ever sued citing the DMCA in any of their cases.

Please don't feed the trolls.
Get used to it...people say people are dead. Don't worry, they're not.

You dumbass...did you not read one word of what I said? It's FREE! Meaning that you wouldn't have to pay for it!
