...someone host in on a US server and clearly display that under the DMCA the following is illegal. Then say "Fuck you assholes, here it is. Come get me" Take a stand and fight this shit biscuit.
Huh, wha, me? you want me to do it? I would but i don't want to have my server shut down:) I mean, someone with balls. They should do it.
Zapp: "Killbots? A trifle. It was simply a matter of outsmarting them." Fry: "Wow, I never would've thought of that." Zapp: "You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down."
heh, well I almost added 'oh wait, that would be K5' to the end of my post, but I was seriously trying to help make slashdot better, rather than trying to point out its flaws.
Here's a suggestion. Why doesn't the "Ask Slashdot" section become a more free-for-all message board, separate from the rest of slashdot so that anyone can ask whatever stupid question they feel the need to ask? The questions they ask could also be user-moderated, then the best ones could show up on the front page from time to time.
This encrypts (e) the file to me (r "receiver", specified by the email address) and saves it in ascii text format (a). Later if I want to decrypt (d) the file:
gpg -d private.asc
(then enter passphrase)
pretty simple
as for a GUI solution...? I think it would be simple to make some system services or applescripts or something to wrap that functionality, but i dunno
Other people have covered most of what I would mention, with 2 notable absences:
for streaming mp3 audio check out factory188.com which is where I found out about most of the good electronica,trance, and techno that I like and now purchase (did you hear that, you ficking RIAA?)
And Boards of Canada which are my personal favorite. All that Autchre stuff sounds the same...BoC are totally original. Their latest, "geogaddi", and also "Music has the right to children" are the best albums.
this post will probably be swallowed up in the rest of them, but I hope you read this and check them out, truly my favorites.
Jeez, i see this kind of final sentence a lot these days. But there's nothing to be afraid of! See, watch:
Open source software aint all that. Sometimes a proprietary, for-profit model of software development turns out to be better. Linus blows goats, I have proof.
See, there's nothing to be afraid of. Neat, let's see what these 20 replies to my post are... Aieeee! My eyes, my eyes! Mein laben, it burns!!
If you own a website and don't yet have knowledge in the field of JPG compression...
Then I'm happy to inform you that you have WON a FREE LIFETIME ACCOUNT on CCDoubler.com!!! Just enter your credit card number in the blank, and you will get your credit limit DOUBLED automatically FOREVER!!!! So cool, you should sign up now!
And everything you charge to your credit card will get automatically refunded immediately!!! IT's so COOL you'd have to be CRAZY to not sign up!!!
The Slash programmers should build it in to their 'Post a Story' interface, so when they hit "preview" it will search google to find out if the Subject of the Story has ever been posted to slashdot before.
Yeah my post is ironic given that this story was posted twice, but that just makes it more topical. This is a serious comment and good idea!
Follow the link, and you'll see some even more impressive benchmarks:
Install cost: $200T this is equivalent to 150 United Kingdom GDP's! Maintainance cost: $40B/ms or on average $40T per second of cash straight into Cray's pocket! This is equivalent to the amount of money 240 Bill Gates' lose when he stops to pick his nose!
if he had aimed the camera out the front instead of the side? Then the quicktime movie would be much cooler, rather than half the frames being shapeless blurs.
Still a cool idea.
We had the idea of hooking a servo motor up to a laser pointer and a web-cam, and letting people on the web play with the cat! Our cat is really vicious so maybe i'll finally get to play with it that way!
I like this algorithm because it's non-intuitive. I think we learned about this in Parallel Programming class.
Basically, if you have a lot of network-linked boxes that you want to use for performing some parallel task, you run into network bottlenecks sometimes depending on how the network is structured. Esp. if you have a couple nodes which are doing a lot of communication, they can tie up a segment of the network, and all the other nodes get hurt.
Two Phase Random Routing simply says, if you want to send data to some node, don't send it straight there. First send it to a random other node, who will forward it on.
Amazingly, this fixes the problem.
I don't remember if this was more effective for some networks/applications than others, but I thought it was cool.
...run other executable software residing on the Workstation Computer
Isn't this a little far reaching? Wouldn't this include things like CGI scripts/exes that were invoked through a web page by someone else on the internet?
Seems pretty stupid to me....so you can't run any program on a WinXP box unless you're sitting in front of it.
Also, who does this EULA mean by "You"? You who bought it only? This means my mom/bro/roommate/gfriend/etc aren't licensed to run any software under WinXP?
dumb dumb dumb...
oh well i'll stick to mac/linux. have fun slaving for microsoft you poor saps

While I have my email client open, I'm gonna send a message to billg@microsoft.com :
Dear Bill,
I would really appreciate it if you would stop those deceptive business practices.
P.S. Also, please stop being a monopoly.
Sincerely Yours,

ACCKK!! whatever you do, don't type in dLSreports.com at work!

Amen brother.

that reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon (paraphrased):
Dilbert: I'm writing software that will prevent people from seeing pornography on the internet.
Dogbert: So you think you can pit yourself against millions of young horny males with nothing better to do than to crack your software?
Dilbert: hmmmm

You fools, you've migrated to perl6 too soon!
Opera has probably the best built-in mousing techniques. [note: 1/2 click means down-click and hold]
To switch between tabbed windows you just do:
1/2 right-click, move your scroll wheel up and down
To go back, forward in your history:
(back) 1/2 Right-click, left click (keep holding right button and clicking left to keep going back in your history)
(forward) 1/2 left-click, right click
and lots more simple gestures:
1/2 right-click, wave down and right (close window)
1/2 right-click, wave down,up (duplicate window)
1/2 right-click, wave down (new empty window)
1/2 right-click, wave up,down (refresh)
