  1. Re:SOLUTION! on Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA · · Score: 0

    So basically it needs to be in the motd (not limited to web sites) And I am now aware that I spelled "prosecution" incorrectly. I probably did it again didn't I. Damn.

  2. SOLUTION! on Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1995 means that if a sysop states that certain users must leave (i.e. MPAA, government, law enforcement), those users can NOT threaten the sysop's ISP or any person(s) or company, cannot prosecute any person(s) affiliated with the sysop which includes family, friends or individuals who run or enter this web site or else face procsecution by the U.S. legal team to the fullest extent possible under law.

  3. privacy act signed by bill clinton on Gentoo Package Accused of Violating DMCA · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Didn't Bill Clinton sign an internet privacy act in 1995 that allows people to say before people connect "if you are government, get out" and therefor make any information obtained without explicit permission to access the server invalid?

  4. vicious cycle on Microsoft Nailed by Software Patent · · Score: 0

    The patent clerks in the U.S. patent office are (correct me if I'm wrong) paid on a sort of commission, meaning that they are less inclined to reject patents.

  5. Re:As a former teacher, I LOVED the idea of camera on Webcams Watching The Classrooms? · · Score: 0

    If you can't get your kids to behave without a camera threat you shouldn't be teaching.

  6. Re:SCO helps businesses on SCO: Fortune 500 Company Buys License, IBM Retort · · Score: 0

    I think it was more of a question

  7. SCO helps businesses on SCO: Fortune 500 Company Buys License, IBM Retort · · Score: 0

    "The SCO Group (SCOX - news) helps millions of customers in more than 82 countries to grow their businesses everyday."...by taking all their money

  8. first post booya! on SCO: Fortune 500 Company Buys License, IBM Retort · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    first post booya!

  9. he.net on Consumer Reports Discovers Tech Support Sucks · · Score: 1

    I use he.net to host, and because they usually take larger customers, I get 24/7 support even paying only $10/month. I call, and BAM! I'm talking to a friendly engineer.

  10. SCO's not the only one on SCO Targets US Government, TiVo · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the MPAA and the RIAA's tactics, there's a small firm called PanIP LLC that is doing right what SCO is doing wrong: instead of going after big fish immediately, they go for the little guys who settle instead of hire lawyers. They own two rediculous patents that basically give them rights to any system that is used for e-commerce (buying things over the internet.) This is Oct. 21, 2002 InformationWeek's cover story.
    Fortunately a group of small businesses that were targeted have gotten together to fight; I wish them luck. I hope that someday people will be technically literate enough to counter the cheap bastard sickness that is spreading through big, dying cooperations.
    BTW this is my first post to slashdot, and this site is awesome. It sickens me how long I didn't know about it.
