That's because counterfitting (or spam, or copyright infringement) is like herpes. You can't cure the infection, but you can help supress the flare-ups.
The HP LaserJet 4L has one button on it. It functions as Power, Form Feed, Print Status Page, Error Reset, and Clear Buffer depending on the context, how many times pressed, and duration of press. This was very much a "Hardware Button."

Now you want to arrest the guy selling the widgets, and not the guy dumping email in your inbox? What's wrong with this picture?
Nothing. The guy selling the widgets is funding the crime. You want to arrest the guy who pays to have his wife killed, and not the actual killer? Well, its better to get both, but one's better than nothing.
Weird thing happened. I have a Comcast cable modem, and a Linksys cable/dsl router, dynamic IP over DHCP, etc. I was having problems connecting, so I changed my MAC address on the router to something else, just made one up. Now it works great, and has been for 2 months. Never did figure out exactly what forces of evil were lurking in my basement.
"I'm sorry but it's people like this that give science fiction a bad name."
Worse is when the people say "It wasn't a Klingon that called people ugly bags of mostly water!"
Maybe, but I knew it wasn't a Klingon who said it, but some computer alien, and apparently so did you. That was my first reaction to the headline. I've never watched any Star Trek series besides The Next Generation, and I know for a fact I've only seen that episode once, probably 10 years ago. How does having a good memory give the genre a bad name? Please elaborate.
The history of the race, and each individual's experience, are thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal.

Wow, this comment has taken my karma from "Positive" to "Bad" in one day. Please, no more Funny moderation! Every time someone bumps me up to 5, I get Overrated back down to 4, and since Overrated brings karma down but Funny doesn't affect karma, the net effect is a +4 or +5 post has brought me down to the AC posting level. Granted, I don't think I'm that funny, but wtf? This is really a -3 Funny. Just don't moderate me up in the first place!
Next thing you know, OS insurace will be required in order to legally operate a computer system.

Pull over, I clocked you going 100Mbps in a 10Mbps subnet back there. May I see your license and insurance card? Did you know that it is unlawful to operate a network vehicle in the state of New York without a valid insurance policy?
Perhaps the time required for one cycle at resonant frequency just happens to be the lifespan of the universe? The next cycle is the next universe, and the Big Bang came from the smacking together of the Big Buglers's lips as happens when one plays a brass instrument? I wonder what tune he's playing.
Cool game, not really asteroids exactly, it seems more like Wing Commander/X-Wing/TIE Figher to me, with obstacles. Took me a minute or two to figure out the radar, because there's no mention of it anywhere.
and honestly my preference is mostly for the convenience of personal calls. br>
Well, that's kinda the point isn't it? Employees are people, despite what some would have us believe. Personal calls happen. Sometimes your kid gets sick and needs a ride home from school, whatever. Having a cell phone that makes personal calls more convenient helps keep the downtime from taking said calls to a minimum by allowing you to get back to work more quickly, and not using company owned lines to make calls. It makes everyone happier (fitter, more productive) to be able to manage their own work-time and lives at the same time, and a lot more willing to put the extra time in at work when needed. This policy is really backwards, to put a ban on technology that increases communications is to stick your head in the sand and hope for the best.
If that's the case, then who found out that Xfree86 is blocked on MSN, and had the cluefulness to post it on/.? Apparently your argument does not hold water.
You bastard! Not only do I have empty pipes, but my C64s no longer boot! Probably a power supply issue though, Guess I'm going to radio shack after work tomorrow.
Exactly.
Consider this article from an open/closed point of view. As closed source software (the article), this article is riddled with flaws and malicious code (written in english). Many of these could go unnoticed by the end-user (the reader). Vital data is compromised (truth and reason). Lack of peer review has led a buggy and compromised product to premature release.
The source (again the article) goes public, and open-source developers (your friendly slashdotters) submit patches (posts) to fix the bugs. After the changes are again subject to peer review (moderation), we get if not a good product, at least the one we deserve.

You only have 1 CPU laying around your basement?
Maybe they should outsource the voices... to India!
Guess you took the blue pill...
So, not etch-a-sketch, but magna-doodle technology? Cool!

Everyone knows programmer cost-effectiveness is measured in lines of code.
Another sensational post that exaggerates the article on SLASHDOT.

Neither was my amplifier. Cool how it made the lights go dim though. Kind of a 3-in-1 device, except the amplification part didn't work.

and ???
I just never figured that out.
