Don't do business in those little insignificant countries. If their judges are that stupid, offer the product under a different name there, and everyone else gets lindows.
I'm surprised that judges in other countries are more ignorant than the US ones. I would -expect- a US judge to be stupid...
"Add in the fact that everybody else on the road is quite literally trying to kill us"
This is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen someone post.
Yeah, get on your bike and break the speed limits, taking other people by surprise quite often. Then when a motorist gets taken by surprise and you wreck your bike, you blame THEM?
Sorry, dude, cars outnumber you, so they make the rules.
The best thing anyone can do is create public outcry, and pressure the press into reporting on this sort of thing. Unfortunately, even though NPR has done a halfway decent job reporting on DIEBOLD, as compared with the other bread and circus news outlets (e.g. FAUX news) people still prefer to stick their head in the sand. Destroying a machine at a polling place will not cure apathy.
In fact, destroying their equipment will get them SYMPATHY that the sycophantic republican press is dying to give them anyway.
"I believe that opposing it with violence is not only necessary but ethically justified."
Using violence does not take power away from the govenment, it gives the government MORE power.
It NEVER works. The only way for average joes to work the system is to pressure their elected things into doing so, without violence, and probably WITH the proper palm greasing.
As soon as they come out with it, people are going to figure them out and find a way to rip them as well. All the industry is going is wasting their own (and our) money trying to make it crack-proof. What'll really happen is the independent artists will be liberated by it all when they abandon these DRM freaks.
If this happens, watch "old" cars become a hot commodity... either that or people will just buy into it like sheep. Yeah, the sheep thing is more likely.
I'm downloading it much faster with bittorrent (first time user) than FTP or HTTP would be letting me right now. Everyone and their grandmother is out smacking the heck out of the FTP/HTTP servers.
had better make sure their paper trail gets covered. Aw, C'mon now, everyone knows that McAfee, Symantec, etc, all pay kids to write viruses to keep the money coming in!
It's the same game the radar detector companies play, supply weapons for both sides and encourage it!!
pretty much the death of Google as a non-evil entity. I'm surprised Google would even THINK of doing this, especially with a philosophy of "Don't be Evil."
Slashdot Mirror
ha ha!!
"Duuude, by that logic we should be all speaking Chinese."
You're not outnumbered by Chinese except when you're in China.
Please, use your brain.

BTW: How the hell did you get modded up to 5?

Wow! Instant credibility! I think I'll go get my Ph.D.!
I can be like "Dr. Condoleezza Rice" and get actual credibility.
1: They'll get blacklisted.
/dev/null.
2: The spammers will eventually be able to find a way to test it first (like they have with everything else.)
3: It'll just suck up bandwidth and dump it to
4: Even if the idea did work in theory, there won't be enough people believing in the idea to make it actually work.
...a real hottie named Elissabeth, ...and man she was HOT... but she told me once that IBM said MCA would be the top bus til the year 2000.
HAHAHAHAHA!!
I told her that it would be old hat by then.
Other than the fact that you just admitted to it?
All they have to do is subpoena Slashdot for their logs and they can track down from what IP you are accessing from. Sayonara!
That still does not accomplish anything.

With *AA's exemption from anti-trust, they'll just raise prices to the point that their ENTIRE customer base will just leave.
I'm a left wing liberal, but THIS one the market actually WILL solve. It will just take a while.
i got two big rolls of rg58!! want it? (u gotta come get it..)
that the deadline is 7 months AFTER the 2004 election.. Aaaahnold!!!
this is no different than a corporation...
1: nazi firewall, no outbound access except for services absolutely needed.
2: proxy server, logging.
3: tell 'em all their accesses are logged and reviewed.

If it has five speakers in it...
Then it's NOT a single speaker system. It's not really that much different than my TV with two speakers in the same cabinet.
What a waste of a story.
Oh, gee, I can't wait for this.

I think novell is going to call it SuSEware and then sell it to SCO Group when it fails for them.
SCO has hired some SuSE people....
It's a perfectly cromulent word, kinda like embiggens.
