You should try this, if you are out of work you have the time to work with a lawyer on the case and it would be interesting to see how much publicity this generates.
"...but the whole thing could have been avoided if only Neo had done another one of his Superman jumps. In other words, it was gratuitous."
At first Neo is not aware that the Smiths can beat him, he figures bring them on, as the fight goes on he begins to understand that Smith is still a threat to him.
Almost perfect, now change "but my privacy has been irrevocably and severly compromised without any redress" to "but my time, reputation, and property (i.e. computer) has been irrevocably and severly compromised without any redress". Wait a minute wouldn't it be slander...
Here is the game plan, they will take legal action and make headlines up through Christmas time. Napster will be re-launched as a legal pay P2P service. The record companies will make it clear that this service is legal and has the blessing of the RIAA. If Napster (minus independant label content) is a hit they will back off of the legal action, they may even offer a blanket amensty for Napster customers.
This is a guess on my part and I think it is a strategy that may work if the Napster service is viewed as a fair one.
It seems unpolite to attack people that fund or have funded you:) Unfortunatly much of the terrorism that exsist would not just go away, I wish it were that easy, but if we show weakness there are people who will attack us. I don't think it is a bad thing to be a liberal, but the Hate the has crept into politics over the last 12 years is not helping us at all, I don't mind conservatives and liberals fighting it out, I just wish they would be the gloves back on...
I think he also wrote the line Don't look now I think supply side economics is working. Or something like that, does anybody remember the correct quote.
There is still slavery in the world, I tell you I would be more apt to support groups like this if it didn't seem like they were just made to throw eggs at the USA. There are REAL problems in the world and we should address them, much of the drivel that is being spouted today is unhelpful. Also why is this news for nerds? Maybe it is stuff that matters? More like crap for lawyers and liberals.
We are proud both of our VCRs, and our claimed inability to program them.
Huh?
I rip DVDs to a Shuttle PC that I pump video-out to my DVD I also download flash animations and CG demo reals to watch, there is video on demand, Tivo (freevo), DVDs, etc. If you are still writing and thinking about VCRs than this may be the problem.
What if that High School teacher is using a program that uses port 135? He would know that the program doesn't work, he may not know why but his app still doesn't work. I guess you have to balance that against the exploits...
No in my case, I view the DVD as better value for my entertainment dollar than a CD. If a CD does look like a good value for instance the Matrix 2 CD set (two CDs for the same $14.98) I might pick it up. But I almost also opt for a computer game or DVD over CDs now.
Mod parent down, I mean come on this is not related to the MS Security thread at all is it? Slashdot is an interesting place loaded with massive double standard. MSFT has a moral responsibilty but Linux doesn't? A random Bush bash is not a Troll but a random Dean bash is? Huh? It just gets old...
On the subject at hand MSFT security is getting better than under 95/98/Me...
Targeting kids is going to destroy the RIAA. I will tell you right now that Congress will not stand for it, you can already tell that with Senator Coleman gettting involved. It is all well and good to go after a few 'poster children' cases, but when you start blanket attacks you are in trouble big time. It is wrong to steal music and other peoples works but you also have to come to an acceptable agreement with your customers and throwing them in jail usually doesn't get the job done, it should be the last resort not the first.
What in the hell is all this going on about the Modem crap? Could I also avoid the modem tax please? I guess I am spoiled living in an area that has Road Runner...
Biz Software Alliance Audits will also force people to switch otherwise you are right PRICE will rule the day, which is how Linux and MSFT have become the last two men standing (well soon anyway).
The benefit in cost will have to be balanced with several other factors, such as language differences, ability to do the job, ability to communicate with on site individuals that need assitance. People could easily be once bitten twice shy to outsourcing IT, if your servers fail and the backup wasn't done and you lost it all then no savings would be worth this. Also many IT departments serve as tech support for the whole office, often times it works best when an IT person can go and help somebody work out their computing problem. Many times it is the PHB that needs this handholding, who is he going to call?
It might make a difference to Senator Coleman, it might make a difference in efforts to amend the DMCA. But you are correct it would not make a difference under the law or to the judge (if he is one of the 95% of judges that follow the law as written).
1000 songs and 1 movie, that is about 90 CDs and 1 DVD, she easily could have bought all of these, if she has all of them in her collection she not only has a stronger case, but she was obviously a good customer. Are there any open-record labels or bands that distribute music via MP3 and encourage that the music be shared P2P? What are your favorites?
Digital and Direct is the Future
This would only work if MSFT doesn't pay royalites, if they pay the royalties Windows users only choice would be IE. Which would be a shame since Moz rocks!
It is the fault of a "greedy IP company that is also not making a product" and the government for allowing it to go ahead. Also is there an open source problem here, for instance let us say that MSFT agrees to pay royalites to allow their web browser to continue to work correctly, then the company claims that browsers such as Mozillia must also pay royalities?
Slashdot Mirror
IS there a best viewed with Mozilla gif available somewhere?

Somebody needs to take on the DMCA on first amendment grounds... Are there any cases yet?
No in my case, I view the DVD as better value for my entertainment dollar than a CD. If a CD does look like a good value for instance the Matrix 2 CD set (two CDs for the same $14.98) I might pick it up. But I almost also opt for a computer game or DVD over CDs now.
I don't think the computing industry would mind a last minute splurge on equipment.
