  1. whats your motivation on No More Internet Anonymity · · Score: 1

    The thing that really makes this a bad development is imagination. Someone looking at your traffic wont know why you are looking at what you are looking at. I could be part of the LAPD bomb squad, and want to look up how people make pipe bombs or other IEDs. People make whatever conjecture their minds choose for them, and often times their minds choose the worst.

    Hey look MS actually fixed something. About two years ago this would work with Win XP. Since then I have moved on from batch.

    Well it was more the point that the CMDs would be the ones to kill the machine, but your idea is more effective. I will use that in the future when I want to kill someon.... ahhh my box.

  7. Re:Here is my question?? on Making Money Using Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    I worked for a medical device company for a short while. And one of the projects I was working on used linux as the OS. There was a proprietary shell that ran a proprietary medical procedure, but it was based on linux. Much like silver fruit company... what do you them... pear, orange, tomato... something like that. Would that be considered contradiction?

  8. Re:Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press on Is Blogging Journalism? · · Score: 1

    It is not what they wrote that they are being "punished" for, it is what they wont write. they wont say who informed them. That is obstruction of justice (IANAL). Someone broke the law and they arent fessing up. If they are considered journalists then they dont have to fess up according to the constitution. It is a fine, and croeked line . PS I think they should be protected as broadcasters/journalists.

  9. Re:Question on Is Blogging Journalism? · · Score: 1

    I think if they are going to break the law and the reporter knows this. That is obstruction of justice. In this case he broke the law by telling him so it was an act in the present not the future.

  10. WEB == BROADCAST? on Is Blogging Journalism? · · Score: 1

    California law says that broadcasters are protected...

    well...

    Broadcast: To simultaneously send the same message to all the users on a network.

    What is a webpage but a broadcast, and a web browser but a client for viewing the broadcast. I understand that the browser requests the site but still. A multicast client has to request a join and that is still a multicast.

  11. Re:Yet another repugnant violation of states' righ on House Approves Electronic ID Cards · · Score: 1

    It's not our rights as individuals that being infringed upon, but rather the states rights. The federal government has no power over what info state chooses to be required on your license, and how it dissemenates it.

    Bill of Rights: Amendment 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

    Learn English and then memorize the constitution. Not the other way around.

    I love ST Enterprise and I would be willing to pony up the cash, but (BIG BUT) If this is a success then it might take off. Before you know it all shows will be doing this. Perhaps it would lead to a pay per epsiode. This is kinda like cable back in the day when there were no comercials thats why you paid for it. We pony up the cash the show is a hit. UPN doesnt need us anymore, but still requires us to pay. Big guy:1 Little guy:0

    I did see the sarcasm, but I know others would miss it... perhaps even intentionally. Not to go off topic, but I have heard things about laws being made requiring internet users to have a license. Even though it is probably a myth this scares me. So you can understand my concern... I hope.

    Where are you going? Oh and your little comment about computer usage should be decided on IQ... well an idea (however humorous) rocks the foundation of the principals of the internet as being a world wide open forum.

    Yes all the "parts" are made in china or taiwan, but there are cheap parts and quality parts. IBM has "always"(hyperbole) used the highest quality "parts" in their product. If IBM were sold to anyone even another American company there would still be cause for concern. After all we know that even some American companies put out low quality products.

    Arent there many more unix and linux servers out there than windows servers? So what would be the results percapita. If 'they' were to get 'their' data from a specific number of professionally maintained Linux and Windows servers and then calculated the percentage of Linux servers cracked and the percentage of windows servers cracked, that would be some real data to look at. The survey at is for the most part useless.

  25. Re:open source is good for government on Open Source in Government: Newport News, Va. · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I am a God fearing hardworking (computer engineer no less) American. I support opensource. It has been nothing but a benifit to me. I have learned more from the ideals of open source than from any class or text book I read in college. I dont think you really understand what open source is all about. You should do a litte more research before you make such comments. People in the OSDN are volunteers because they believe that if everyone on earth had some input into something then it would be as close to perfect as possible. Its the difference between some guy at a desk in oh say redmond under a deadline and turning out code quick enough to meet his deadline with no regard to the quality. Now say if he had about 300 teammates that process would go much better and the code would be more efficent. These people also belive that knowlage should be free. How is that such a bad thing?
