1. I've never had moderator status. 2. What?? 3. I would have moderated it because I liked what he said, which is exactly what I said. 4. I wouldn't moderate something based on the identity, however, I would expect them to actually have an identity....
Haha, if i had moderator status and you hadnt post anonymously I would have given you points for it:) I copied that and saved it in a text file for the next time I get into a gun control debate with someone.
What would be neat is if there was some way to create a dynamic network that didnt focus around one specific napster serve. Like, everyone connected would make up the server. Then the RIAA wouldn't even know who to sue, they would have to sue everyone connected to this dynamic network! =P
I'm surprised they havent tried just suing all ISP's and order them to stop letting people connect to the internet so that way we couldn't transfer ILLEGAL MUSIC !! accross the internet.
And where did they pull out $100,000 per song any ways? Out of their ass? I doubt the people who make napster have even enough for one pirated song. However, where is the proof that any illegal songs were even transmitted across napster? I HOPE NONE OF YOU HAVE DONE THIS !!
That's rediculous, that will never work. What we really need to do is destroy almost all technology and go back to an agrarian society. The only technology that should remain in the hands of people are non-recording cd players. Our paternal RIAA Gods will then sell us music CD's to listen to on our CD players.
Most of the United States and Russia's space rockets were based on the V1 and V2 rockets. Both countries borrowed scientists that had formerly worked in Hitlers space and rocket programs. W. on Braun I think was the name of the guy the United States took back and employed in our own programs. What all this has to do with an x86 assembler OS, I know not.:-) Maybe they will market it to Nasa and have it control some super secret Mars probe lander thingy and make it actually secceed! Or something.
That's weird, the ones I've burned on my room mates computer worked perfectly in the car cd player. It's a Hewlett Packard 4x.
Missoura and speeding...

Dumb Laws
·
· Score: 1
In Missouri (where my parents live), there was the law "It is not illegal to speed." but it was repealed. However, from experience, I think they forgot to tell everyone in Missouri.:-)
Also, Hawaii (where I lived for 9 years) didn't do too bad, only 3 stupid laws. I'm glad they never actually fined anyone for not owning a boat though. Although we did have 2 kayak's if those count as boats. I also thought it was funny that most of Alaska's dumb laws had to do with moose.:)
AppleWorks 5 can export to all kinds of different platforms including microsoft word for windows or macintosh. I don't even have a Macintosh, but I use AppleWorks as my main word processor in windows because it is small, compact, and doesnt have a lot of features I will never use. I haven't yet tried Star Office (although I have the zip files for both the windows and linux version sitting on my hard drive).:) (I have an extra copy of AppleWorks 5 sitting around if you want to buy it from me for cheap. It is a legal licensed copy [Apple sent me three copies in the mail even though I only ordered one]. I should probably sell it on ebay..)

Easy MP3 Distribution
·
· Score: 1
Question: Which is worse? People who run mp3 sites that require a people to click on a banner to get the login and password thus them making money off of piracy, or people sharing mp3s without making money off of it? Hmm... maybe the RIAA should sue all ftp-server makers while they are at it...
Umm... except they MADE exchange so they know exactly how it works whereas they can't be held responsible to know how every piece of third part software works. However if they accidentally do break third party software with changes to windows they should do everything in their power to assist IBM or whoever in getting said third party software to work properly again. Let's see how long it takes before someone releases a fix.
That's probably a good thing since I don't see anyone forking out millions of dollars for a superbowl advertisement for a free operating system (redhat maybe?)...:)
If I had moderator status you would be moderated as either troll, flamebait, or offtopic. Your post is unnecessary, and has absolutely nothing to do with the conversation. "Oh! SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT SOMETHING OTHER THAT LINUX@!$! LET'S FLAME IT!#!". You are only showing poor advocacy. Now look what you've done, you've gotten me to post offtopic as well. At least I have the dignity to attach a name to my post, even if I expect it to get moderated down.
The standard is that it is still linux.;) All these different distributions are really just different programs included with linux. There are a few differences such as where programs are installed, etc, but it is still linux. The problem with standards more exists on the desktop level (X, Window managers, KDE, Gnome, etc.). Any ways, my point is that all these seperate distributions don't really hurt linux.
My grandparents live in Evansville and both my parents grew up in Evansville. Somehow this doesn't surprise me at all.;) Actually, I think I may have been to that library before, I don't recall hearing anything about ghosts though. And I agree with every other sane person who has looked at that page, I don't see anything other than jpeg compression, and even then I can't even pretend to make out the image of a ghost in any of them. =P
Actually I have no special affection for Microsoft. I do happen to use MSNBC for a news source often and I have been reading news there for quite a while, and whether you believe it or not, I find many of their news stories to be less biased than those that I have seen at other news sites such as CNN. Don't try and psychoanalyze me here.
Maybe rather than affection, it's more of a lack of the blood thirsty hate towards microsoft many slashdotters so easily portray.
I know Microsoft has created flawed programs, I have a great dislike for Windows, but I still use it alot because it allows me to do everything I want to do on the computer(although it would be nice to be able to do it without having my computer explode in my face every few days). I am also a fan of alternate operating systems which I use occasionally, mostly to play with and see what they can do (BeOS & Linux especially) because competition is what it's all about. And while Microsoft might have used their monopolization to get away with selling faulty software or to help knock off competiters, this still doesn't add up to a big conspiracy. Uncontrolled and unchecked capitalism maybe, but not a conspiracy. We could all plainly see what they were doing. However, from reading MSNBC for a long time, I have read numerous articles there that have taken jabs at Microsoft and problems with their software.
The thing that annoys me most is the slashdot double standard. I see pointless offtopic flames moderated to 2 even though (because, more likely) they were unfounded attacks on Microsoft or some other thing that isn't pro-Linux. If someone were to have this attitude to something involving Linux, everyone goes off in a blind rage without even seeing both sides of it. I call it unclassy advocacy.
However, I do not expect anyone here to accept my opinion, I am probably just involved in the big conspiracy against all Linux users and anyone pro-OSS and I just want to spread FUD all over the world to insure your destruction.*sigh*
Yes it's all a big conspiracy. They want you to think they have journalistic credibility, and when they've finally lured you in they will begin telling you lies and you will believe them and you will all become slaves to Microsoft and their people controlling media!
Why does everything have to be a conspiracy theory around here? If CNN's network got hacked, who do you think would probably be the first to report it?
"OH OH!@ SOMETHING WITH MICROSOFT! MUST BE A CONSPIRACY!!@$" Don't forget that there is also the NBC part of MSNBC. Microsoft for the most part just helps provide technology, there is no big microsoft censor checking all the news making sure that it is inline with their way of thinking. Furthermore, many of the reporters are private contractors who write articles and submit them to be published and are paid individually for each article. One journalist who often writes articles for the technology section of MSNBC, Krakow, is a big linux fan and often writes positive articles about alternative operating systems. No more than what CNN would do, no less. So let's just lose the whole big Microsoft conspiracy bit.
I'm rooting for both so that way the next time I upgrade I will be able to choose which one I want and not get pocket-raped by a single company that dominates the processor market.
That was the first thing I noticed when I saw the new speeds. "667? Ummmmmmm...." I find it extremely annoying that they left their typical naming conventions just because of a superstition. Oh well, you could always get dual 333's.:p
I hope they release the specs for the TV tuners, maybe someone will be able to write the drivers properly, because from what I've seen, ATI sure can't. I'm still waiting for a fix for this ATI TV WONDER card which a lot of windows users have had difficulty with. They've known about the problem for about two months, am I just impatient or do these things really take this long?
Yeah, it's called the slashdot double standard. And while we all know that if it was running Windows NT it's more prone to crash, they just can't help themselves when they see a chance to stick a jab at Microsoft (or shall I say micro$oft, heh). For all we know a router somewhere could have gone down, or maybe the servers bandwidth was stretched too thin, but no, "It must have been running Windows NT!!!" *sigh* And you'll note of course that that post was not moderated down to -1 flamebait, when really it was offtopic and flamebait as much as the "Must have been running linux" post. I'd moderate it myself but my karma is at -3 because I posted a few things about BeOS a few months ago. I can see it now: "Oh look, someone says something good about an OS that isn't linux!!! MODERATE 0 HEE HEE!!" My karma is probably gonna go down from this one too.:P
You're telling the wrong people. Most of us know better than to take TV at face value. Slashdotters are some of the most skeptical people on the planet.:)

The United States acts in its own interests which often aren't too far from mine or many other of its citizens IMO.
