Wasn't there this FBI agent who had custody of Mussaoui (sic), who had spilled the beans about the 19 other guys, but was weighted down by red tape and superiors?
Or am I just making all of this up? But if I'm not, then why do we need such drastic measures? Won't a little go a long way?
Also sent the dude email. Mostly it was sending him the best early comments on this story, so he could read some of our opinions (claimed them as definitely NOT mine), with a link to this page and to Groklaw. Told him to base his opinion on actual facts instead of SCO press releases. End of message.
We thank you for your contributions to technology. Now GET THE FSCK AWAY FROM IT! You're bastardizing it! And stop buying control of it from the government!
Without laws like copyright to protect us you get anarchy, and you do not want that.
Without laws like copyright, those people who can't contemplate a world that does not turn by financial compensation are just SOL.
Direct me to the philosopher and/or enlightened one (and recent businessmen do not count) who said that copyright was a natural right. Because otherwise, copyright is explicitly granted by the Constitution. It is to give creators a chance to reimburse themselves for a limited time; the work is then to enter the public domain. But you and those corporate fuckers seem to have forgotten this. Ooooh, I wish I had five minutes with each of you---you, me, and the 2x4 of Enlightenment---the Victorianism and social darwinism will clear up within a week.
You all fuckin' think that the width and breadth of science and art exist for your individual exclusive benefit. Well, y'know what? One day, we will shrug off the bonds you have placed on we who share knowledge; the majority of society will have overcome the damage done by millenia of sanctioned greed.
Human knowledge shall evolve; human society need not, for each of us has the capacity.
Hey, this is a quality rant! I'll wrap it up by saying, no, copyright is not needed for societal sanity.
If you search google for "billrulz.h", you're going to find the 914 or so earlier versions of this joke, without the hostname unsavory to most Slashdotters. You would have had lasted longer if you had even linked to tubgirl outright... You seem to have been around long enough to know that the one word you don't use around here is "yiff." 'K?
but the parent is on-topic. Don't presume just because of the hostname of the link that it's something nasty. Though I've seen that joke code elsewhere. The use of that particular server might constitute flamebait on the parent's part.
Ever thought that some things might just be more important than being on-topic?
This is a serious mistake, and somebody's liable for it. IANAL, but I'd say breach of contract on the ISP's part and "whatever liability it is to falsely accuse a party of infringement---I know not the name" on Microsoft, the breach of contract being the more serious. But that's just my wild guess; don't take what I say as canon (and this includes you moderators and repliers).
So depicting a hamster being shot out of a cannon is not acceptable, but actually shooting a fox in cold blood after chasing it around or digging it out with dogs, and then glorifying the whole process to the point of gloating is? Granted, many Britons are fighting the practice, so they aren't all hypocrites.
I wouldn't mind knowing these MPs' stances on the issue.
This is not directly aimed at the readership of Slashdot. This would be aimed at straight-party voters and those who say, "Well, I don't like Bush, so I'll vote for $DEMOCRATIC_NOMINEE."
I think I got caught up in defending my point when I indicated that I was not going to vote. What I should have said was that I'm going to look at all the candidates, and if I don't like any of them, I won't cast a vote just to vote.
Yes, the parties don't care about voter turnout. But many many people do care. You always hear them when turnout is lower than average. So you would talk to that group about your reasons for not voting. They seem to care enough to ask...
Of course, maybe I didn't get my point across because I'm just generally discontented with national-level politics...
Still, let me qualify my previous post. I did say "them," meaning whatever company that first tries to hijack the email system by bastardizing the protocol a la Microsoft.
I am all for a mail transport protocol that authenticates the source more easily. I just don't want the Big Boys (you know who they are) leading the charge, so that we run the risk of a closed system and protocol.
Don't like any of the presidential candidates? Here's an idea: don't vote (as in do abstain)!
If they're not going to put a good enough candidate on the ballot, don't vote for the Big Two, unless you really wanted to.
Abstension is just as much a part of the democratic process as is casting a vote, but this has been lost to America because of some two-party system in which the having of actual viewpoints has been replaced with such generality that what our parties actually stand for is mixed up and buried in misused jargon.
So join me. I'm going to register to vote. I will vote on all state, parish (county), and municipal issues. But I would... do something really really bad... before I would vote for either the Republican or Democratic candidate for president!
It depends. Using those entry pages to protect blatent copyright violations does not work.
However, this is not to say that they have no weight at all for everything.

Consider the density of the cardiovascular system in your body. Any given cell in your body cannot be 4-5 cells away from a blood vessel; otherwise, it'd die; thus the reason for artery (big) -> arteriole -> capillary (small) -> venule -> vein (big) progression (well, that and blood pressure). If all you saw of a person were his vessels, you'd easily be able to identify him.
Being that dense, the magnetic attraction would be evenly distributed throughout the entire body.

Can the mutant master of magnetism Magneto levitate people using the iron in their blood?
The iron in our blood is mostly in the hemoglobin, specifically the heme half. Heme is an iron-based complex, in which the iron is IIRC diamagnetic.
Therefore, I do not see how---oh, wait. I guess I'm wrong. Oops. Looks like I need to review my sigma/pi bondage.

Usually, the privledge is taken away from both parties. With Freenet, we have the chance not to take that path.

we must ask ourselves:
WWWD?
Tell someone that you're not going to vote for president. See what the reaction is.
I'm curious about the reaction myself. Maybe when we are closer to election day, I'll actually try this out.
Hey, at least it shows the shock value of what I proposed. Or am I misinterpreting the replies?
It doesn't. It shows that we're not happy with the status quo.
People ask why voter turnout is even lower than usual. Everyone answers that there wasn't anyone they'd vote for.
The point is to not participate in the part of the system that's going to screw you over no matter what.
I wouldn't mind carrying more change, if, say $20 coins were the size of dimes...
Ever had change fall out of your pocket, or otherwise be lost?
