Whoever says that this isn't newsworthy, just remember that the philosophy being employed in the arrest of these teenagers is spreading to other parts of the world.
It would set a very bad precedent if these kids were jailed.
...the only way to do it would be to manage it via a computer-like device connected to your phone and then use GPRS or somesuch to send the data through your mobile phone.
there are plenty of stack-based languages out there. I don't know whether reducing the list of valid tokens to whitespace characters will make programs more secure.
On the other hand, it is pretty cool as far as steganography is concerned. "I swear officer, it's just a blank page!"
What do you get when you alienate your customer base, potential future customer base and anyone with an interest in music? A further drop in sales, that's what.
Copy-protected CDs have been shown not to be effective at stopping people "pirating" them. Even if an ideal copy protection did exist, there's still that blasted analogue hole. If they want to copy protect their content, they'll have to use a different medium since older CD players don't like copy-protected CDs.
As I've said before, this is just an attempt to slow the "piracy" problem in order to give them time to think up of a new strategy.
Telling all Australian ISPs to block certain web pages doesn't make them inaccessible to knowledgeable users. And even that assumes that all ISPs implement effective blocking for all sites.
As far as I know, the only blocking done is by individual ISPs and not at the border routers. How much trouble is to find an open overseas proxy?
UDP, or Usenet Death Penalty, is a means by which site administrators and others around the world attempt to enforce the cooperative nature of usenet on an uncooperative member of that community... An Active UDP is one in which every message posted to usenet by the offending site is canceled or failed to be propagated.
If it reduces spam, I'm all for it. I for one have read far too many ads for health plans, penis enlargements, low-interest credit cards and fabulous marketing opportunities!
A lot of people here have bemoaned the apparent lack of hot-swapping abilities of the latest IDE drives, and I am scratching my head wondering what the problem is.
My main computer is over four years old and I have not had a problem swapping out an IDE disk with an IDE CD-ROM drive (and vice versa) while the computer is running.
I am running Win2k and all I had to do was unplug the drive, refresh Device Manager, plug in new drive, refresh again - and bang, it's done.
It's very similar to the way one would hot swap a SCSI HDD in Windows.
No BSOD to speak of here. Can somebody enlighten me?
Slashdot Mirror
they should force spamm- err I mean advertisers to send all their mail this way.
If they don't, punish them by firing them into space.
Without a space suit.
Is this covered by the DMCA?
I guess anything, including code can be artistic if it blends something technical with an art in a subtle way.
That's the whole idea behind poetry, at least. And computer code can be poetic.

That has to be about the most creative name I have ever heard.
Well then you haven't heard of me before, have you?
"not gonna happen!"
But on a more serious note, the upgrade cost would be tremendous. Are you going to chip in? If not, then who is?
just another attempt at embracing and extending. Let's hope that Milo can save us from this mess!

for those that don't want to bother registering to read the article.
for once, a publication that greets the slashdot crowd in a friendly way ("Hi Slashdot people!") rather than the usual HTTP overloaded error.

What about the other end, you say?
I wonder how the phone companies will react to Cisco stepping on their turf.
dude, you seem to have earnt some extra karma :)
If it's going to etched in stone, it better damn well be etched in granite. I'm not going to let those stingy operators short-change me again!
If Joe Citizen and Jane Doe can set up a node/AP in their local neighbourhood, then we are one step closer to ubiquitous wireless access.
It's by no means an easy task, though. And until it gets easier for most users, metro networks will be limited to the linux crowd.
Let's hope this works out and helps people to set up APs. It will benefit us all, some day.
is sunlight really as bright as it looks?
do you get wet by standing in the rain?
is hotmail really secure? *
* Well, almost. But two of three ain't bad.

But does the intensity of the colours fade with time? And further, does each intensity decay at a different rate?
I wonder whether they'll finally be able to disprove the six (or however many) degrees of separation.
Then again, most people will probably have a connection to Nigeria due to the certain organ-lengthening drug that they are so famous for.

Come on NZ. Didn't you pay any attention to what happened with the "censorship" in Australia? It was a complete failure.
Any attempt to censor the internet, short of taking over every router on the border, is destined to fail.
If this were done on Ms Rosen, what would we call her? Faceless minus one?
