  2. Re:She needs to shut up herself on Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    If she truely belives the individual should not have freedom then she can get the hell out of my country.
    well dont push her to me (the UK) ill be waiting with my chainsaw, send her to Nigeria - the govornment only wants to protect her there....

  3. Alright buddy you just made the list on Do Privacy Fears Allow Terrorism? · · Score: 1

    Heather macdonald - hate list number 3142 - :-)

  4. Re:For Mozilla... on Most Usable Bookmark Managers? · · Score: 1

    i just found it funny - anyway im sure there is a setting in the about:config of moz. ... there it is 860 :-)

  5. :-D on RIAA Moves Against College-Network Fileswapping · · Score: 1

    http://slashdot.org/~riaa/freaks

    i wonder how that will change...

  6. Re:What's the gripe? on RIAA Moves Against College-Network Fileswapping · · Score: 1

    Ok but realistically if there was no way to get music free (i mean NONE AT ALL) how many colledge students (Read - money goes on more important things) will buy cd's? - a marginal few but its not worth the bad PR for the few extra sales they will get. So even though they shut it down they just piss off the students who wont buy cd's now anyway who wins? - no one

  7. Re:For Mozilla... on Most Usable Bookmark Managers? · · Score: 1

    hahahaha "Sorry links to bugzilla from slashdot are disables"

  8. Actually ive been looking for something like this on Custom Metal Computer Cases? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Anyone know of any good vandal resistand metal cases? for school and kiosk levels of torture :)

  9. Re:What not to do on Dealing with Development House Disasters? · · Score: 1

    Hmm - but its still not a non recoverable situation like it sounded in the first post?

  10. Re:1-800-BAD-BEAT on RIAA Moves Against College-Network Fileswapping · · Score: 2, Funny

    No no no youve got it all wrong theve protected the phone number. I mean obviously no one is clever enough to look at their phone keypad and get the real number to type into their computer- thats just too much work....

    Ok for the lazy of you its 1-800-223-2328
    oh no i just circumvented that protection - take me to jail under the DMCA ;-)

  11. Re:Backups on Dealing with Development House Disasters? · · Score: 1

    Hey Stop it, Us BOFH's want to stay in our positions of total power / blackmail and corruption.
    hehe ;_)

  12. Re:What not to do on Dealing with Development House Disasters? · · Score: 1

    I apologise if im being ignorant (as usual) but couldnt they just boot disk it and reset the root (if bios was passworded to stop floppy boot then mobo jumper to reset it ?) only flaw is this would be a pain (read major financial loss)on production/critical servers

  13. Re:Don't feed your oppressors. on RIAA Moves Against College-Network Fileswapping · · Score: 1

    Hmm - it was only a joke at first but maybe however intigrating it tightly with p2p systems could be seen as advocating copying. If it was just a general mini add banner at the top saying Click here to donate to your favorite artists leading to some page where you select the artist to send it to would be cool ?

    Im envisaging (sp?) a database of musiciens home adresses to send money off to ? that way its easyer to set up with little running costs (running costs in terms of time spent doing it)

  14. Re:Don't feed your oppressors. on RIAA Moves Against College-Network Fileswapping · · Score: 1

    Ok - time to set up a central direct to artist dollar distribution network

    Dtaddn :-)

    or just tell him nothing will happen to him if he helps bust his buddies....

  19. Re:Maybee... on Open Source DRM · · Score: 1

    Then they go to a techie and ask "err can you get me a copy of A lot of people will actively look for copy protection circumvention just beacuset there is copy protection there. The mindset it "Ah well its protected it must be good", and its true - some great things you can give away for love nor money to joe user...
