Everyone should know that checkbox well -- and leave it alone and unchecked.
But where is the Never trust content from this provider ever again checkbox? The one I want to check every time I go to a site (all seemingly signed by the same certificate provider) that tries to install the 24-hour Time Manager, or You Must Click Yes to View This Site's Content when all trying to do is get out of a site I hadn't wanted in the first place.
That's what I want my browser to offer me -- along with an inability for any web-site to affect my browser's basic functioning, like disabling the right mouse key. When is that patch coming?
I use lyric web-sites to identify songs I hear and want to locate. With a few words one can Google: "a few words" +lyrics and quickly find the title and artist(s) of a song that has caught my fancy. I'm certainly never going to buy any song I can't identify.
Now the stupid RIAA wants to end this. How this is going to help them is beyond me. Do they really think (as they apparently think regarding iPod hardware) that there's money to be extracted from these web-sites? Most seem to be a labor of love with likely little extra money to give to the greedy bastards. And I doubt that if you license the lyrics, that they will give them too you in machine-readable form. How many of these are captured and typed in by contributiors? Dumb all around.
Coming soon, how long before huming a song in public gets you jail time?
And is the MPAA suing the IMDB yet for giving movie plot summaries?
How do you determine a failed disc? Record on it, read it back, see that there are errors, and bin it? Oops, the disc was good, but we can't use it now.
I haven't gotten mod points in 2 years and am stuck in metamod hell
For me, mod points have arrived in batches or swarms. I don't get any for many months, then start getting them once a week for several weeks. After that another drought. I don't understand their system of granting them, and simply use them honestly when I get them. I get notice that about 1 out of 20 of my moderations are disagreed with at M2 level.
As I see it, you have two options:
1: M2 metamoderate every day that your're eligable, and moderate everything UNFAIR. This will take so many other moderators out of eligability that eventually you'll rise to the top of the list again. Besides, doesn't Slashdot promise that metamoderators are more likely to get Mod points?
2: Resort to M3 moderation, otherwise known as MODERATE PARENT UP/DOWN/FUNNY/INSIGHTFUL... posts.
No, you're modded down for being a First Post bitch.
Idiot! I wasn't aiming for FP. I was aming to have my post appear in a different article which, at the time, already has ~20 posts. And you are a coward! If Slashdot had a way for a user to remove their post when there's an obvious error I would have done so.
The parent is a Slashdot goof. This was supposed to post under the next article about a new statistical technique for finding information among a large flood of data. Instead Slashdot first invoked the 20 second you-type-too-fast rule, then put it here.
Sorry, and I had to be modded down for their problem [sigh].
What it might take to bring about adoption would be a.sec TLD that only operates with DNSsec, and any other major security improvements. Banks and others might prefer to be associated with a domain that is secure from the beginning, spurring its adoption. This way the market place would decide since it would have a real choice.
While the vulnerabilities in the DNS are well known, the absence of widespread attacks, regulations, and proven business models are holding back DNSsec adoption
One could have said the same thing about music CD DRM (e.g. the Sony XCP RootKit) -- or the 9/11 terrorist attacks for that matter.
There's not a problem with it -- until there's a big problem with it. Then everyone asks why wasn't something done to protect us against it?
Now I know who uses Ajax pages. All those p0rn sites that are impossible short of a reboot to get back out of once you've fallen into one and spawned countless boardless fullscreen windows with non-functioning Back buttons.
He didn't lose any Constitutional rights. The Constitution only regulates what the government can and cannot do... this was a private school.
By your argument simply enrolling in a school can cause you to forfit all your rights. Suppose they prohibit gun ownership in your private, off-campus residence. Suppose they plan to enforce this by random, unannounced searches. Is this all okay because it's in their code that gun owners intimidate minority students even when the person does not carry their gun on campus, or illegally (by state and federal laws) otherwise?
Simply put, you've got it wrong. The federal government protects enumerated (and some unenumerated) rights against all other attempts to remove them. If this were not the case, Freedom of Speech protected at the federal level, could be outlawed by any state, county, or city that didn't like it -- and that's simply not the case.
finding a way to enable users to buy the entire album all at once instead of individual songs, for the same price as the typical retail physical CD.
I think I should be paying less than in-store retail when I download my CD album. After all, in addition to the content I'm paying for my bandwidth to download it, my time in downloading, my hard drive space to store it on, any cover art or inserts that I have to print myself, as well as the blank CD I burn to play it outside of my computer and the jewel case I need to buy to store it in.
The record company selling me this album does not have pressing, materials, distribution, or record retailer profits to pay in the process.
So stop encouraging record companies to think they can sell me less for the same price! They're already doing that well enough on their own.
Does anyone know if there is a website out there that has a list of all the DRMed CDs put out by Sony and others? I looked on Google, but didn't find anything...
The dental school's code requires students "to conduct interactions with each other, with patients and with others in a manner that promotes understanding and trust" and condemns "actions, which in any way discriminate against or favor any group or are harassing in nature.
Nothing at all here about conducting interactions with honesty. And that's the problem. It's all about feelings now.
Nice to know that these Bastions of Free Speech seem to only like it when it's directed against enemies of their own choosing. Quite an education they're providing in this incident.
Kazaa has been relegated to the trash-heap of the net with the advent of bittorrent and registration-only bittorrent trackers.
Kazaa has been relegated to the trash-heap of the net because it's laden with spyware, has an ineffective hashing system that has allowed it to become more polluted by OverPeer and its ilk than any other P2P system (in excess of 50% of the files on KaZaA are damaged, in excess of 90% for some very new releases), hasn't been updated in 3 years, and gathers more lawsuits of users than all other P2P systems combined.
