Cartels that would not be in existance were it not for the irrational war on (some) drug(user)s.
Ex:
High Quality marijuana - Street value of $200/oz. Homegrown $0 - $7/oz.
Psychedelic mushrooms - Street value of $15 - $30/dose. Homegrown $0 - $2/dose.
Cartels need profits. End the war on (some) drug(user)s, end the profits for Cartels. Trust me, the biggest supporters of drug laws arn't the Republicans, its the drug dealers.
Let it be known, this 'Screener' is a Cam. It does have a menu and chapters though. But half way through it stops and you have to manually go to the next chapter.
The message is getting out. He doesn't need to release a high quality version. Just because he has a message doesn't preclude him from wanting to make a buck.
It is a big step for Lions Gate not to push this issue, will it stick for all of their releases? Cams are like Greatful Dead bootlegs. They give you a taste, but if you enjoy you will need to go see the show.
No two hackers (or hackers-by-another-name) are the same. No two follow the exact same ideology. Some are young, some are old. Some like to associate themselves with "negative perjorative labels" and some prefer to try to change other's minds about those labels.
And some just don't give a damn about any of it, love the technology (or whatever they happen to be a hacker of) and could care less what others think about it.

This quote could quite easily be distorted into SCO's FUD:
"The virus' author must be associated with Linux because he/she designed it to not affect Linux users."
Although this is obviously twisting the facts and technical aspects of the situation - to knowledgeable tech people - it would not seem far-fetched for something like this to come out of the SCO PR machine. No-so-astute observers could very easily be tricked into believing such a fallacy.
I guess it's just a matter of time until www.sco.com is pointing to www.slashdot.org:)
Since the whole 2600 case about fuckford.com proved that you can legally point a domain you own anywhere you want, is this really so far fetched? Maybe Microsoft will point windowsupdate.microsoft.com to linux.org or redhat.com next time a virus specifically attacks their webservers. Is there any kind of legal protection against that happening; someone knowingly changing the DNS entry to make an attack on them hurt their competition?
Usually need to send a self addressed, stamped envelope, one per request. At $.39 a stamp thats $.78 per game peice (one stamp to send the evelope one to get it back) with a 1 in 3 chance of winning. Assuming 3 peices, it would cost $2.34 per "free" song. Even for just 1 peice, spend the extra $.21 to get your song immediatly.
Purchasing the drink would cost $1.25 at the gas station I frequent, bringing your cost to an average of $3.75 per "free" song.
How about everyone just drink water and pay $.99 per song.
wouldn't be too hard to have them available online (does that count as reasonably available?) and its not like too many people would be interested, maybe a few thousand units each of (S)NES and one or two Virtual Boys.
Games are still being assessed by the same criteria of playability, graphics, sound and longevity as they were 15 years ago
These are the factors for determining value in a game as art.
Yes, game design is an art form. However, unlike popular art, though similar to an artform such as wine making, there are certian criteria to judge with the finally deterimation of value based on personal opinion.
The garbagemen are often the agents of law enforcement, seperating a suspect's garbage for the police. This prevents the paranoid drug dealers from realizing they are being watched and cl $ng out their place of business.
Then we can skip the obligatory spokesperson quote in articles in the future as its' pretty much all they say nowdays.
Unless you are a SCO spokesperson, then the story would go a little like this:
VeriSign spokesperson Brian O'Shaughnessy said that the company has discovered that ALL internet addresses belong to them and that everyone else is incroaching on their intellectual property. They are currently selling licenses to use their internet addresses for $699 per subdomain. Once the lawsuit begins, the price of these licenses are set to double to $1398 per subdomain. VeriSign requests that all domains be redirected to the SiteFinder address.
Questions reguarding such details as evidence to these claims, Mr. O'Shaughnessy stated, "will be released during the discovery phase of the trial." Until that time, VeriSign suggests that every domain registrant purchase a license, "just in case".
Issue 19:4 of 2600 had an article you may be interested in called DHCP is your friend!
It's a little long to type up here, but I can give you the jist of the article. Basically it describes a way of getting all the active MAC address (of Windows machines) on your subnet by performing a portscan on Netbios (port 139), and using those (ifconfig in linux or perhaps MAC address cloning on you linksys router) to register an IP thru DHCP.
Since most Cable ISPs require the MAC of the connecting device to be registered, you need a vaild one. Any thing you do with an IP registered under an assumed MAC gets blamed on the person with the MAC you stole.
Thats the theory anyway. Could be traced, but probably enough to get you off the hook.
Well, you could pay somebody to follow you around with signs that advertise the competition of what ever store you happen to visit. Thats kinda the same thing as is going on here...

Sorry, but it is true.
The poster did refer to his TiVo. Whats not tech about that?
As was explained on Groklaw, in Cricket, when the Batsmen scores no points, its a duck. Thus they sold one or more licenses, breaking their duck.
Ex: High Quality marijuana - Street value of $200/oz. Homegrown $0 - $7/oz.
Psychedelic mushrooms - Street value of $15 - $30/dose. Homegrown $0 - $2/dose.

Get stuck on #2 every time...
Why does every new thing have to have a X in the name? Being in parenthesis, its almost like an after thought.
Maybe it signifies that this ship will also be run by Microsoft software... A Beowulf cluster of X-Boxen!!!
oh, come on now, somebody mod that up!
And some just don't give a damn about any of it, love the technology (or whatever they happen to be a hacker of) and could care less what others think about it.

(Thanks Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)
It is only irony if it is unexpected or varies from the normal result. Since when is it unexpected for Microsoft to screw a business partner?
Gerry Curry is keeping his downloads clean; don't want to defile a church's internet connection.
Guy at ISP: "Why is this church downloading all this porn? Oh well, whatever keeps them away from the alterboys."

Smith and Wesson may have actually made the gun you used to shoot your neighbors. This is more like blaming Ben & Jerry for your neighbors injuries.
More like:
SCO (to Microsoft): Hey man... what do I need to do to get some more crack from you? Want me to suck your FUD?
