Shouldn't this project be illegal under the new FCC broadcast flag rule. Unless it incorporates DRM to force the user to respect the broadcast flag, that is.
I can understand how site owners could have a problem with a commercial software product like ExpertGPS wasting their bandwidth while skipping ads. ExpertGPS costs $59.95, but downloads maps from Microsoft's TerraServer without going through its web interface and viewing its advertising. Microsoft hasn't blocked access from these programs yet, but what if they do? All the paying users of ExpertGPS would be out of this functionality.
Now I feel like I'm being trolled. Politically correcting my statement was great -- a nice touch. A troll is not sincere in the opinions he expresses when crafting a troll. In a discussion -- a forum meant for the exchange of ideas -- replying to an insincere poster is a waste of time, thus YHL. A reposted troll requires even less effort from the poster, thus YHL doubly.
Its [sic] interesting to see how defensive some of the posters on here are about this topic. If you really think its [sic] wrong, post a good rebuttal.
This is the troll's desired reaction. A detailed, well thought out, insightful, point-by-point rebuttal is every troll's wet dream. Don't cheapen this forum by encouraging replies to trolls. Basically I'm repeating the age-old maxim "Don't feed the troll".
A constant battle has waged on Slashdot between the editors and the trolls. First came the Troll moderation, then the infamous $rtbl flag, and finally we have the editor-maintained troll blacklist. The moderation system was designed to discourage trolling and to foil attempts at trolling. Don't let your radical sympathies get in the way of killing a troll.
This is a repost of a classic troll from over two years ago. On Slashdot, trolls provoke moderation wars and many replies. Those signs are both present in this confirmed troll. Whoever is inclined to agree with this bunk ought to rethink his position.
Because it doesn't have a license to decode the signal. The same reason it's illegal to watch DVDs on Linux. Plus the additional restrictions introduced in the Digital Rights Management Act of 2005. You know, the one the MPAA demanded passed before making HDDVDs.

You are a TERRORIST if you bypass your employer's Internet filtering/monitoring software through SSH/VNC/RDP.
If you bypass it to read Slashdot you are. You do know, of course, that terrorists communicate through encrypted messages embedded in AC crapfloods?
I only upgrade my computer to increase benchmark scores.
Remember, if you comment on this from work you're stealing from your employer. I always take days off to read Slashdot.

The plastic ultimately stabilized in 1.6 dimensions at a temperature of minus 269 degrees Celsius (minus 452 degrees Fahrenheit).
What kind of uses exist for superconductors at these temperatures? This seems like an overoptimistic article about a non-technology.
