>> My mother is just like this. I can tell her something over and over and over again, and it means nothing to her. But if she hears the same thing from a random, poorly-informed stranger, it's a proven fact.
Now you know how she felt when you were growing up.
Couldn't one just bring the PC into court, have a bailiff* connect to the internet and launch internet explorer? If it started showing porn while he was there, then the defendant gets off clean.
Great, first it looks like he won't be on G4TechTV, then you put up a link to MP3s on his site! You trying to knock him off the net? What do you have against the man?!
Having said that, I'm about to start download these very MP3s and do my part to slashdot everyone...
>>Why are are good distro reviews so few and far between?
If no one can take the time to reread a one paragraph story, what makes you think they'd take the time to write a good review?
A person doesn't leave their guns in the open. They keep them secure, behind locks. And probably hidden. Kinda like computers. A computer can be a tool, but on the net it can also be a weapon. If you're going to play with it, you have to be responsible enough to keep it protected.
Nah, I think they're just serving pages with a 1981 2k modem.... (Okay, I pulled the number out of my ear, but cut me some slack.) Or they could still be using morse code... 10 wpm anyone?:P
Hmm... I they want the keys to get into my digital house, maybe I should give them a copy of my house key, and post office box key. And all my passwords. That should work. I have no reason not to trust some stranger with my house keys..... ?! Hello? What's going on here?
Don't worry. My resume says that I'm a trained astronaut, Iron Chef and that I'm fluent in Klingon. And that I was the king of england at one point in my life....
Strangely, I haven't got a job yet. I guess managers just don't like know-it-alls....
I thought what it meant was that if your special compiled GIMP V55 Bazillion in installed on this system, then fine. Just don't ask them to fix it if that program doesn't quite work right. Okay. Fine. That's standard. You support what you produce. Anything more is... good... but... odd.....
So, if someone created a virus that would wreak havok on computers, it would be okay, as long as there was a EULA, for the user to agree to? Good grief.....
>> Good frief fella. We're talking about Software patents and your "...distressed at the world my son will grow up in..." - get a life. Seriously. Go outside, smell the flowers, gaze at the clouds in the sky.
Grandparent really has a point. Parent sounds a little too content with current happenings. (No Offense.)
One has to wonder what happens to "Information Technology" when information can be owned. The rate things are going, IT workers will need to major in some form of law, with a minors in computer science.
Amen to that! I'm afraid that it might be too late for us Americans to escape the insanity of software patents, but I don't want to see it spread any further. Is there a site that would help plan demonstration? What was the name of that site that said which candidates get money from which companies, and their positions on subjects like this?
Slashdot Mirror
Any day now. Not only that, but now the public knows the location of yet another Stargate... Great... So much the those aliens...
And 2.4 kids. Don't forget the 2.4 kids (well, unless you're like me and upgraded to 2.6.6.....)
Now you know how she felt when you were growing up.

>2. Threaten to blow the whistle on some illegal behaviour.
>3. Profit!
You never watched "Antitrust" did you?
Good Idea! They should really try that! That way all of the windows users could have some cash left over too!
Skip the small stuff. Just go grab some Naquida...
Whew... So I guess the NSA doesn't have a backdoor in windows after all. Whew.... Who knew?
>> Hi their, just in case things go sidewise as it were I have put up a mirror. As Huge as slashdot is, I doubt we'll kill IBM's website.
What kind of a geek are you, worrying about if a place has daylight? Tsk, tsk, tsk.....
I think we could beat that. I say we start sending shock jocks past satillites. Let them host their shows from the moon, or mars...
