  1. Polish movie "Haker" on Ask Slashdot: Worst Computer Scene In TV or Movies? · · Score: 1

    Right one: Sup?
    Left one: Fortress. Classic, triple firewall. Unbreakable.
    R [this is epic]: Did you try Emacs through Sendmail?
    L: Yeah but they let me into a "fake".
    R: Exploits?
    L: No holes... We need something else.
    R: We wish you a pleasant flight.

  2. Re:Of course on How Chinese Evade Government's Web Controls · · Score: 1

    I think it's not a matter of complying with Chinese law. Sure they have to obey local law or they would be shut down immediately. In my opinion it's a matter of democracy-grown companies that are willing to abandon thieir democratic values to reach the promising market of China.

  3. Pecunia Non Olet on How Chinese Evade Government's Web Controls · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Also noteworthy is that major portals seem to be cooperating with authorities' restrictions.

    Happy 7th Birthday, Google.

    You should try the cage. I works for me.

  5. Re:Paypal Strikes Again on PayPal Freezes Hurricane Relief Account · · Score: 1

    Actually PayPal takes 2.9% plus $0.30 plus 2.5% (if there is a currency exchange) out of each transaction, so it makes even 15-20% on small amounts.
    I've learnt that PayPal sucks the hard way - I do a eBay-related service in Poland, so I'm doomed to PayPal if I want my service to be available for US users.

  6. I call it fever on FCC To Require Backdoor Network Access for Feds · · Score: 1

    Fortunatelly there is a cure - cold shower.

  7. Re:Finally on Storm Brewing over Microsoft on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    Sure, your're right. What I meant was that money can simply buy you any settlement with court/government/whoever if your "sins" are not a regular crimes, but are so disputable as accusation of "monopoly practices". I have read about Arthur Anderser only once - that they screwed and they are gone. On the other hand, I keep reading about Microsoft being sued (and sometimes even convicted with a huge fine) but they are still alive.

  8. Re:Finally on Storm Brewing over Microsoft on the Horizon? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not for the first time, and not for the last time. It's all about exchanging. They're rich enough to be sued over and over.
