Bah. You paranoid people. Skype don't need any advertising. They've managed without it so far and has still gotten several million users and the trend does not seem to be slowing down, so why should they suddenly feel the need for advertising, and moreover, why would they feel the need for advertising "subliminal" on slashdot?
I saw nobody below the age of 16.
Anyway, I was at the demonstration and I don't think we should remove any copyright laws. I think we should reform them. Copyright as we know it is more designed to make companys like the recording companys and microsoft richer. It is a result of several decades lobbying by already wealthy persons and companys. It is definatly past time to look over them again.
But if we look past that, The real reason I was there was because the fact that private organizations founded by different companys shouldn't be allowed to do the law enforcement which is what the situation more and more looks like today.
(Somebody has very likely already pointed this out but just in case)
I don't believe linux is the most insecure. It's just that if the server-owner don't know what he/she's doing it's not exactly unlikely that a determined cracker can get in. Say what you want about Windows but it's easy to fill in the holes when a vulnerability is discovered, and people running linux without being an active community member propably doesn't here of all vulernabilities either.
It would be intresting to se some statistics over how "insecure" diffrent distros are too. For example Gentoo that almost has the ability to patch it self is propably not very high ranked on that list.
Slashdot Mirror
They sure did get a lot of free advertising here at least. :P
> telnet slashdot.org 80
:P
Telnet isn't lean and mean! You should use netcat when not actually connecting to a telnet server.
Didn't work in lynx (nor links). :/
Sounds interesting. I'll have to look into that.

Can't they concentrate on microsoft instead? :P
