When will people learn that the STATE is NOT the worse thing out there? Private entities are far more dangerous to people, simply because they
only have to answer to their shareholders, and that people have been proven again and again that greediness will not stop people from hurting other
people.
When will people learn that private entities only have power over you when you allow them to. When you go into debt, agree to a EULA or sign a contract you LOOSE FREEDOM, but that was YOUR choice. The government is not evil, but if you give up freedom for protection that is backed up with badges and guns, bad things tend to happen. When laws are passed they are hard to repeal, even if they are BAD LAWS. Just remeber, if Evilcorp comes to your house, stomps on your cat and kills your wife and child, you have legal recouse. If the government does it, you have a much harder fight, they own you.
Christopher Hemmah, 19, was arrested Thursday night after a month-long
investigation. He is charged with misuse of computer system information, a
felony.
I would assume that the law he was arrested for had to do with "Stolen" computer system information. Thats what I get for assuming:) It seems there are too many "bad" laws these days.
Am I the only one who noticed that their site ROUTINELY crashes Netscape for Linux? I tried it under Netscape 4.76 for Linux and was unable to get
the main page (the one past the spiffy little splash screen) to display; the browser kept hanging.
I have had problems with the "UMP" and "Plugger" MIDI players causing my browser to crash. Disable those plugins and you should be OK.
Um, no. "Reverse discrimination" is the reverse of discrimination. It's non-discrimination or open.
Either you discriminate or you do not discriminate.
Yes it is a legal entity. However you fucking idiot, AMSAT is a non-profit legal corporation.
I don't see what it's profit status has to do with the fact it's a corporation. Someone asked if it was a corporation and I responded to that question.
Are you claiming to be an Officer of AMSAT?
No, I stated that I was an officer of a corporation to show that I _KNOW_ what a corporation is.Just so it is clear, I do not have ANYTHING to do with AMSAT. I have donated a very small amount of money to them but that is because I had a few spare bucks and think Phase 3D is a great project.
before you run your mouth about a "Corporation" check out http://www.dict.org/ and look up the word "Corporation".. or just as well: get your
Websters dictionary out!
Watch it with that hair trigger, you need to put your attitude in check. I know exactly what a corporation is, it's a legal entity.(without the need of a dictionary, mind you) I happen sit on the board of directors of the coporation I am the vice president of.
I have been waiting for "Phase III" to be operational for years. My heart sank when I heard that it "died" when it reached orbit. Maybe they will have this thing up and going by Dayton 2001:)
umm....i hope that's sarcasm, but in case it isn't: 127.0.0.1 is your local computer. it's a magical ip address that always
goes to the computer that you are looking at it. (if it is sarcasm, ignore said comment)
We're talking about an atrociously high risk of heart disease, and a lifespan that is altogether too likely to be
twenty years shorter than for healthy people.
Yea, those last twenty year where you piss and shit on yourself. Mmmm, I really want to live a healthy life to look forward to THAT! No thanks!! I will live fat and happy!
I bet some of you guys will be able to hit this repeater system from all over the country tonight. It has mutiple "voters" all over middle TN and a 250W transmitter here in Nashville.
What is to keep an somebody from signing something then later claiming that their key was compromised at that
point and it wasn't actually them that signed the document?
The same thing that keeps people from using your private key in the first place..... the passphrase. Without the passphrase, you can poke around with the private key all you want. It will not help you. (Unless you have a really bad passphrase)

"Trash-80" ??? I don't really know of any of the 8-bit machines that came close to the multi-user, muti-tasking ability of the TRS-80 Color Computer 1/2/3 with the OS-9 Operating System. We poked fun at 386's running Desqview:)
I don't think Jon is understanding the way you have to do things when you take money from "The Christian Mob" (Right wing Christian Organizations) You have to do what they say or they will have you politically "offed". Look at John McCain. The second he stepped on their toes, they turned on him.
From what I can tell, so long as you are the Republican candidate, you MUST say things that will make them happy. I wished the republicans would wake up and see that those guys are not needed.
If we issue the SGI patch for
moster systems, we could do all kinds of things like rearrange and add locks, add kernel threading
types, and make the kernel preemptible. Is that really still the Linux kernel in the eyes of Oracle?
Probably not.
I see this as the same problem the guys that want to do RT-Linux or micro-Linux. Why not have someone step up to the plate and say "Here is BigIron Linux! We will manage it and maintain it. Send us your patches." If you are an effective manager and maintainer, people will use your product. SGI has taken some bold moves with open source, they should be bolder. Step up to the plate, fork, manage, maintain. Do things to your kernel fork for the "Right Reasons" (technical) and SGI could be the one true Linux on Big Iron.

For some reason, I remeber watching something on T.V. awhile back that said "Lucy" was a fraud. Is this true or is it more "Bible thumping"?

Here is a link to the law he was arrested for breaking.
From what I can tell this is a REALLY bad law, because it looks like he has broken all sections of paragraph IV.
Christopher Hemmah, 19, was arrested Thursday night after a month-long investigation. He is charged with misuse of computer system information, a felony.
:) It seems there are too many "bad" laws these days.
I would assume that the law he was arrested for had to do with "Stolen" computer system information. Thats what I get for assuming
I wonder what the exact wording of this law is.
If that is the case, I can see why he was arrested. That's a crime! (At least here in TN)
However, if these are sites he put up himself, the cops really stepped in it this time.

Uh, you must mean reverse discrimination right?
Um, no. "Reverse discrimination" is the reverse of discrimination. It's non-discrimination or open.
Either you discriminate or you do not discriminate.
That's like saying that rollerblades can't be patented because of roller skates. Same with other very similar devices that are patented.
It's my understanding that you can only patent a method, not a product.

Fuckem' , it won't be supported by Linux anyway.
This along with UCITA just makes Free Software look that much better in the marketplace.

the young are increasingly coming to believe that older people have less and less to teach them.
I used the think this way too.....

hmm they're not software
But if you use those protocols, I would bet you are using Open Source software.
From what I've seen, a lot of small companies' survival depends on the continued functioning of a cheap IDE disk.
I hate to break it to ya, but SCSI and IDE drives are the same these days. They just put different controllers on them.

I'm going to either share a couple thousand files to everyone, or pay for the service. Not both.
I have the exact opposite view. I don't have a problem napping files, but I don't share mine because that would be breaking the law.
Here is what I would pay...
$5 to freely exchange copyrighted files w/o breaking the law
or
$1 per file for a high quality mp3 direct from the label/distributor. I will pay for the added value of getting a high quality mp3.
