From the article: '' "I don't think it is a serious threat because it's not self-replicating," Meltzer said. "And it hasn't caused serious disruptions to anyone." ''
Heh, Paradroid. Many hours used on that game.
And then I discovered Paradroid '90 (screenshots) for the Amiga and there went some more hours.
I still play this game (both versions).
Agreed.
This was my first response, but having worked on an IT helpdesk, I wouldn't follow through.
Also, the wise council of other gentle readers here has put the light of reason to the situation and my response.:-)
Hmm, that sounds like a better idea than my one: Make one final heated call to the Helpdesk telling them where they can stick their TOS.
Given that they are a large ISP, a lot of people I know are using their service too. Could be a perfect candidate for a letter with a large number of signatories(sp?).
...eventually the guy who thought this up will get fired...
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that this "initiative" was backed from top to bottom within the organisation.
Or at least that is the oft quoted er, umm... quote.
Something, in this case a webpage, once made public, is likely to be copied to some sort of personal space that is not under the control of the publisher, no matter how much they protest their copyright.
Once in this personal space however, there is no obligation to share. And so information pools in the corners of the 'net unable to benefit any but a select/fortunate few for fear of persecution.
Bottom line, if you don't want it preserved for posterity and must maintain rigid control, don't publish publically. If you do publish, expect that it is now copyrighted public domain material.
So why not bring the cache/mirror out into the open. It happens anyway.

Hmmm, now that raises an interesting question:
If he built the house with his own virtual hands...
Actually I can't phrase a coherent question right now, but you get the idea.

Make sure that you hoard those nice red staplers that will now be in plain view.
Heh, influence without using power.
Do something different.
No, I haven't thought of enough different yet, or I would be doing it.
Sounds like famous last words to me...
Can I get that in red?

This is the last straw, not to mention the shitty service and helpdesk run-around.
Even if they revoke the clause I am unprepared to continue with an organisation that would do this in the first place.

They use 'em for interfaceing arcade controls to keybd port.I would recommend PLIP if you have a parallel port, much faster. PLIP Install HOW TO.
