As long as we are discussing file requesters... Getting to -- and browsing -- hidden (dot) directories is a nightmare. Try this: Make a.porn folder in your home directory (Hey, real life scenario). Make a pictures subdir, and inside that a few other dirs (teen, goth, whatever you fancy). Now populate those directories with pictures, then try getting to them with Eye of Gnome. Yes, yes, I know what you are thinking -- with the-oh-so-linux-for-humans "Ctrl-L" key combo you CAN enter the URL of.dirs -- but can you browse them? There will be a strange drop down menu with the different subdirs, but there seems to be no frickin' way to actually browse the file structure in the file requester.
I wish I knew the Gnome devs' take on this problem, but I can't find the "hiding porn from your mom" section of the HIG.
Please listen to the recording linked from this page.
Video makes better news than just audio. If this incident was videotaped, major news outlets might have bothered airing it too.
I like what allofmp3 has tried to do, offer a vast array of music at much more reasonable prices than the rest of the world, but it does them, and the rest of us who would demand a more fair distribution model irreparable damage. The more "we" are labeled as criminals by our own actions, the more fodder for their argument. And, the more likely DRM becomes more onerous and intrusive and constraining.
Okay, I'm having a bit of a problem with this one. People should stop buying this, show that we all are mature and responsible adults and get it from "their" sites, and then the restraints will slowly go away? How the hell is that going to happen? Isn't that like asking Rosa Parks to get to the back of the bus and behave so whitey can understand black people are civilized? In Norway homosexuality was forbidden by law until 1972. Activism and outright breaking the law changed it. If people had simply complied, nothing would have changed. Now, I don't want to offend anyone by saying this is more important than gay and black rights, but I think the analogy itself is valid.
Well, I'm also reading a lot of freedom into this page in English. Now, even though Piratpartiet and The Pirate Pay is not the same organization, a lot of their goals are touted as common. It could of course be that the only reason The Pirate Bay exists is banner money, but if they open people's eyes to Piratpartiet, that is a-okay by me.
And if you agree with what they are doing and want to support them, here is the donation link. SMS donations work from several countries, and makes giving a few bucks quite hassle free. I did, and feel way better than after buying a ring tone this way.
Sorry about that, I was too quick, thinking "opposite of private". Same situation here in Norway, though. I'm almost a bit jealous, there are lots of excellent programs on the SVT channels. Some of my favourites are Kontroll -- videogames with hints of retro (I've seen features on SID music and building your own arcade cabinet), that movie program with the funny looking but quite brilliant guy, and, eh, also the morning shows with news is far superior to the noisy and fragmentet Norwegian shows.
Why do so many put so much energy into arguing legal vs illegal here? First, it could be the law is not exactly clear about this specific case, so it will have to be determined in court. Second, it does not really matter if it is legal or illegal. If this is legal today, you can be sure it will be illegal tomorrow. The *AA has weight (as illustrated by what happened here, and making Norwegian police do what they did to Jon L. Johansen). "Illegal" and "immoral" is not the same. Different example, same principle: The NSA case. Does it matter if they find a loophole in a law somewhere? It still would be wrong. And no responsible heads would roll anyway.
It sounds as broken as every other similar concept.
- Use different images: Doesn't matter what it shows or wheter it describes an abstract concept. The time you use to collect and describe images == the time used to add to DB. Add new pictures every now and then? So the hostile script is alerting the user when a new picture is shown.
- You change a few pixels: The picture is analyzed on the fly instead of using checksums. Code ready to be taken out of ShowImg.
- Audiofiles? Time to manually create them == time spent putting answers into hostile DB. Autogenerated audio with "rnd number + rnd number" type of question are again a question of using speech recognition software. Add music randomly from your mp3 collection in the background to each sample played? Yeah, we are back to distoring images, and you know how well that works. Plus, the RIAA is after you.
Okay, so what I could have summarized instead of giving the examples: Hand made questions or tasks that are not easy for a script to recognize takes time to create. The same or less time is used to rebuild the db locally. Questions or tasks generated by a computer can be recognized by a computer.
Haha, someone is having a bad day. Maybe you should have stayed Silent, Chris. The same lack of logic is being crushed here daily, so I can not understand where you got that low id.
Look at the bright side, at least you learned something about Sweden today.
You might as well start the sentence with "For all of you that are annoyed about Netscape crashing all the time, I've been using an alternative called Firefox lately..."
No, wait, you were being sarcastic? Now I feel stupid:(
Keep your eyes on the ball. Put any of the mentioned names in quotes and do a Google search. See the number of relevant hits? It does not matter what the excluded trolls use to do, or even if these people hyping the story are the very same trolls. Just understand that these names ARE being discussed all over the web, and have a natural place in Wikipedia.
It's extremely unlikely that any of these individuals meets Wikipedia standards for notability.
Someone thought they were important enough to make an entry about them, AND recreate the entry when deleted AND make a separate site for them. I heard about Peppers before, and maybe his fame is unjust and unfortunate, but he exists in the minds of quite a few people, and some of those people make references to him. References that other people might need to look up. Jimbo seems to be trying to make reality reflect Wikipedia -- not the other way around -- by locking the article for a year, hoping he will be forgotten by then.
But, of course, by discussing these people on Slashdot now, we are increasing those articles' right to life.
A lot of people has been in the same situation before you, and as a result they came up with a very effective yet lowtech method you seem to have missed. Please check out this page for an introduction to the concept by Rolando Merino.
Didn't the brownshirts shout down and harrass anyone that had an opinion different than their own? Isn't that what happens to any conservative speaker who visits a college campus these days?
...Dixie Chicks? Those darn Hollywood actors that should stick to acting?
So until we have forced labor camps and we're filling gas chambers daily, I suggest you rethink your position and keep your mouth shut.
Let us see... The U.S. is number one! in locking away their citizens, 701 per 100.000 citizen, followed by China, 117 per 100.000. Privately owned prisons where inmates assembles sneakers or act as call center workers to "pay for their stay" with owners lobbying for harder punishments of course should take some of the blame.
Oh, and Over 3,400 prisoners were under sentence of death as of 1 January 2005 in the U.S. Sure, give me a "but look at how many Iran.." answer if it makes you feel better.
If you really, truely and honestly feel that GWB is as dangerous as Hitler and worse than Bin Laden, why are you sitting on your ass behind a keyboard? If you were in 1938 Germany, wouldn't it be your duty to pick up a rifle and fight the Nazis? So, go ahead, join what's left of the Taliban if that is what your truly belive.
And here we are again, The Rhetoric. If you are not with GWB, you are with THEM. Black is the new gray.

Maybe, but I doubt it. See the increase in the member stats page of Piratpartiet ("The pirate party") after the bust.

Lists from previous years (Okay, not recent years). A strange mix of people.
