I'm beginning to wonder how stupidly easy it is going to become to frame someone......I mean, you send them "mid-term-lecture.mp3" which is in fact, the latest Britney song; the FEDS recognise the file's signature and POW instant jail time.
the thing that infuriates me about this, is how (for some reason) all of these decisions get to be made by the US. why the collective governments of the world aren't getting their undies into knots eludes me... it's probably because they're too old and foolish (and self-involved and...) to even KNOW what internet is.
Somebody HELP, we, the users of internet ARE being OPPRESSED!
...not too mention that Palladium has (so far) barely been mentioned in Europe.
Europeans, asians, save ALL the netizens, SEND THE PALLADIUM FAQ TO YOUR TELEVISION CHANNELS.
now all I can do is: 1)hope someone stops internet from going from 99% crap to 100% crap -and you don't get to see it all. or: 2)hope someone figures out a way to make an inet 2.0 that is government free.
...in so many ways I cannot even begin to describe them.
this is IT people, this is every nightmare you've ever had about losing your personal freedom, coming true.
First, they'll control your computers, next your entire life.
paranoid? maybe, but I really, REALLY cannot accept that ANYBODY, OTHER THAN ME, can tell my computer what os to boot or programs to run... this is an outrage.
I thought palladium was far off, and might not happen, and now it has.
what can we do? any groups campaigning against this we can join etc?

I suppose that if your server can take it, there's no better publicity than a/. post huh?
heh, if they keep going like this you'll be unable to have children, because under the DCMA you'll be infringing upon the rights your partner has to her DNA...
Is this how the internet and all that was once free will come to it's end?
isn't there a master document we can cast into a mount doom to stop the madness?
and people wonder why I prefer fiction to reality, in fiction, you might actually win!
I guess that's why they called it an "alternative" party eh? instead you'll get: booze, cool demos, INTELLIGENT people, possibly some of the best music you'll ever hear and wires... lots of wires.
Nobody ever said a vampire has to kill the creature from which it feeds...
Imagine a vampire grabbing someone from behind and sucking them till they pass out.
That's how they did it in Vampire:The Masquerade from White Wolf, furthermore, in that game, if a avampire licks the bite wound it closes quickly, hiding the evidence...clever...
Of course one may wonder how many Sunnydale vamps get a chance to feed before being staked...
Would you avoid SCUBA-diving because there is the very slight risk that maybe your breathing device and your diving partner's will fail at exactly the same time with 70 feet of water over your head?
Actually, I would and I know quite a few people who would as well... fears are not something rational, and his fear of exploding gas canisters is not wholly imagined... I'd hate to see what happens with those things during a fire...
Not too mention that it's only this expensive for now, in a couple of years your Fuelcells may well sell for the price of your k-mart APC...
In fact, the reduced waste and susequently, the taxes paid over it should make it a relatively cheap product as soon as the production process gets streamlined.

mommy, mommy, funny man makes me laugh!
Everybody knows to watch for the stars...when they are right, THEN cthuloid shit hits the fan, and we'll WISH we'd been hit by a rock!
I still can't sleep goddamnit!

...I really DON'T think this'll come cheap.
...and with the /. effect in motion it'll even be slow and laggy, like in the old days.

Sure it's been going to hell in a handbasket for a while now, with the US govt and their corporate lackeys out to kill freedom of expression and all.
But when enough people get sick of it, won't they just build something else?
Who's up for internet 2.0?

find me a perfect anti-cheat system and we'll talk ;)
Help! I'm being repressed!"
...and stuff?
so much for freedom, I guess I'll have to start playing EQ to conform to your view of a proper slashdotter ;)
now that's scary: Microsoft MMOG...
besides, all that'll happen is endless patching b/c people cheat.
that's always the way it goes.
and then AFTER you get the pk-ers.
and to think thet you have to PAY for the priviledge.

stinking thing is hot enough to melt my desk.
it made these beautiful strata of sparkling colored lines, and everythime you're do *something* on the screen they'd shift and turn...
it was REALLY cool (if somewhat annoying when trying to actually USE your pc...)
someone should make a home for defective hardware with artsy side-effects...
now that's skillz...
seems fair to me.
