  1. a bit OT on WordPerfect Back From the Wilderness · · Score: 1

    my eMachines Enhanced keyboard has the cut/copy/paste on the side... too bad it doesn't have again/undo, the extra buttons have actually altered my default hand position on the keyboard from normal typing form to thumb>spacebar index_finger>W middle_finger>Tab works great for me (wrists now straight so no carpel tunnel) but i get fucked up when i sit down at another machine and go for the copy key

  2. Re:Patent infringement on DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure LAME is a "sample implementation" ditributed as source code and fully legit, besides the FHG radium codec blows goats unless you have a shitty machine and are too impatient to use LAME, if the Frauenhofer people were smart they would encourage the use of the LAME codec 'cause hardware/ commercially available software for encoding mp3 still pays them money and the more mp3 files out there the more mp3 players, and mp3-cd players sell so frauenhofer gets more money, hell they should offer to host LAME on their website... if it wasn't for LAME i would have switched over to ogg, flac, or some other format a long time ago to escape the shitty FHG radium encodings. mp3 is popular cause anyone can make mp3's, if mp3 gets restricted it will die.

    that is because slashdot is soviet russia, you insensitive clod.

    LOL the grandparent wasn't knocking US/SAE measurements.... they were knocking NASA for fucking up a trjectory big time because "oops... that was in meters?..... oh shit"

  7. Re:Terrorism?! on WebTV 911 Hacker... Cyber Terrorist? · · Score: 1

    That would be a major crime, and you would be responsible for and deaths or injuries resulting from your actions, but it is not terrorism.

  8. Re:Terrorism?! on WebTV 911 Hacker... Cyber Terrorist? · · Score: 1

    DoS on an emergency number is NOT terrorism, terrorism woul be firebombing random buildings or setting car bombs, interfering with emergency response is already illegal and is not terrorism unless combined with an actual act of terror for the purpose of jacking up the death toll

  9. Re:I made $12,000 in 3 months off EQ on MMO Gaming - Virtually Too Real? · · Score: 1

    I used to play an enchanter (now working on a warrior) only low lvl (~15) but everything (s)he described is plausable and i would consider it fair, at low levels obtaining plat is usually tough, but i found a spot where i can slaughter goblins for randomly 0~4~8 plat worth of loot and giants for 0~4 plat worth of loot and that is what the game is about, finding your niche, some are fighters, some traders, some create things

    solar panels? amorphous crystal solar collectors aren't very efficient but they are light and can be attached to curved surfaces

  12. Re:Sherman, Set the Wayback Machine on DeCSS Trade Secret Case Comes to an End - Again · · Score: 2

    they are not just unethical, they are unenforcable, making a copy for the purpose of installing or using something is clearly under fair use, you don't need a licence to rip CD's to your hard drive and play them in winamp, you don't need a licence to play CD's in a CD player with skip protection, the basis of the EULA is that installing software or loading software into memory for use is normally a violation of copyright, which is Pure and Complete Bullshit in fact installing software on multiple PC's that you own isn't any different, I can put my mp3's that i ripped onto my computer AND load a copy into my mp3 CD player.

  13. Re:We live in interesting times.. on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 1

    what court of law has ever ruled against someone who violated a EULA for packaged software? Purchase is a contract, By distributing material under GPL/CC you are implicitly agreeing to a contract, there is no law saying you cannot copy software you paid for onto your computer/into memory without a licence, If EULA's were legitamate then using any software without a EULA would be legally risky because the owner of the copyright on that software could sue you, which is absurd.

  14. Re:We live in interesting times.. on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 2, Informative

    EULA is unenforceable unless it is on the outside of the box and you have to sign it before buying the software, once you have purchased a copy of software the "copying" that results from installing or running that software clearly falls under fair use, You don't need a licence to rip a CD to your computer, and you don't need a licence to install software beyond having the right to use every copy installed (This is not usually the case for buisness environments which work out deals and sign agreements for software)

  15. Re:Nice. on IBM Offers to Help Sun Open Up Java · · Score: 1

    f they dual license it, then they get to retain complete control over the commercial fork of it. Sun would be unique in that no other entity would have the rights that Sun does to use Java other than under the GPL.

    Which happens to be what they did with OPenOffice.org/StarOffice

  16. Re:Demographic data mining isn't bad. on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    The signal is probably encrypted using assymetric encryption and sending a secret ID number that the Database and car both know, unless the attacker has intercepted a signal unlocking your car in the past and successfully decrypted that signal it would probably be impossable, and i am sure that unlock transactions by employees are logged, if your car was improperly unlocked the insider would most likely be caught and prosecuted.

  17. Re:the MP3.COM database.. on Last Great Internet Bubble Auction · · Score: 1

    it would be illegal to distribute that music without permission from the copy-right holders

  19. Re:Low Tech Version on RSA Creating RFID Blocker Tag · · Score: 1

    not illegal to have.... but if they can show that you were going to steal with it then you get nailed with intent to steal even if you didn't take anything..... so make it out of thin magnesium sheets to incinerate the evidence if caught

  20. Re:That's an improvement on RSA Creating RFID Blocker Tag · · Score: 1

    How is that news? doesn't everyone know that foil lined bags/coats/pockets are the tool of choice for advanced shoplifters? of course the TV news had to go and tell the idiots who couldn't figure it out on their own that foil blocks anti-theft tags. hell i laughed my ass of when circuit city was selling CD gift-wrap bags that were decorative foil-wrap .... the gift that keeps on giving

  21. Re:shouldn't ATM machines be designed better? on Visual Autopsy Of An ATM Card Skimmer · · Score: 1

    another disadvantage, write errors render card useless till you get to the bank again, hell the library copy-machine re-writable cards crap out randomly, i wouldn't want that happening to my ATM card, i think a redesigned slot that made any tampering or devices obvious, also a random placement keypad with illuminated numbers would make using a camera to capture the PIN much more difficult

  23. Re:Radiation from Monitors on Electric Shavers Rot Your Brain · · Score: 1

    i would guess the vibrations are messing with you, some people are very sensitive to high freq soundwaves, I can run an inaudible tone from my computer near my speakers' limit (limit 22khz, run at ~18khz) and all the way down the hall she starts yelling, after a while the pressure builds up on my sinuses and i have to stop even when there aren't any high'ly sensitive people around, when it's on I get a weird sensation, not so much sound but almost a deadening of the normal lol-level sounds i am used to hearing
