Hey, I wasn't saying it necessarily should have gone through; I'm all for the new Firehose thing determining what's good and what's not. I just thought it was interesting and relevant to the discussion.
Yeah, I think either Microsoft will embrace and extend as I mentioned above, or they'll bring up a huge warning box every time you try to save to an ODF claiming that "Not all features are supported!" and actually make the saving code substandard so people will think ODF is a bad format.
I tried to post this a month and a half ago on Slashdot but it was rejected: Atlanta police arrest a peaceful protester at the March 15th worldwide protest. Note the numerous police decked out in full riot gear, even though Anonymous had posed no threat to them or Scientology, and was very clear that this was a peaceful protest.
They then started issuing tickets to any cars that honked as they drove by. Second half of that video I linked, I shit you not.
From what I've read they were much better at the April and May protests, but it does show that the police's allegiances in some areas shift like crazy.
The DMCA (or specifically, DMCA Title II, OCILLA) legally requires them to take down the material when a copyright claim is put forward, such as the ones the Church of Scientology / RTC sends, in order to avoid any legal liability due to the safe harbor provisions in the law. The person who then posted the video can send a counter-notice to YouTube to get them to put the video back up; it's then a matter for the courts to decide (and if the person claiming infringement does go to the courts, the material stays down until they have ruled on the matter).
IANAL, this is not legal advice, this is just how I understand it. You can't blame YouTube for wanting to keep their service provider safe harbor limited liability; otherwise, they'd be sued out of existence every time someone posted a music video.
My old laptop's LCD died. This was one of many parts that had died over the last year or two, including the HDD (twice), the motherboard, and the RAM. So I got a new Asus G1 lappy which continues to serve me well.
But what to do with the old lappy? Well, it still boots up and connects to an external display... Bingo, a web server! Generally, if you're running a personal server on your home connection, as long as you're not adversely affecting your ISP's network, they won't care (or know about it). If your battery still works (mine does not, alas), you've even got a built-in UPS!
The paradox of Apple: people get their products in the hopes that they'll be as "creative, inquisitive, and independent" as those cool people they see on TV.
Also, to echo some sibling posts, grandparent is not saying Linux is the only way to create and encourage that kind of person, he is saying that Windows is probably less of one by its nature. Note that to develop native programs on Windows usually requires extra software (read: Visual Studio) that usually costs extra, whereas in (all?) Linux distributions it's distributed for free, often preinstalled. Not being an Apple follower, I don't know what it's like in that world.
From an actual quiz a Missouri S&T student posted earlier:
If a student receives a first DMCA violation notice he/she will lose network access for a minimum of
* 14 calendar days
* None of these
* All of these
* Until he/she passes the "Safe and Legal Computing" course
Nah. Y'know what's going to happen? A campus-wide P2P network will form under their noses, with blazing-fast University pipe speeds and access to all sorts of material stored on students' computers.
That is, if it hasn't already happened. I seem to remember a certain University MP3 file sharing network / search tool (though for the life of me I can't remember the name) that they eventually shut down, but during the time it was up it had thousands of files on it. Let's not forget informal file-sharing networks using things like Windows File and Printer Sharing, which, while not exactly secure, works wonders over a fast LAN like that of a dorm network.
And this isn't even counting the encrypted traffic they can't detect from third-generation P2P networks and darknets like WASTE.
So once again, congratulations to Missouri University in promoting the further development of P2P software. Encouraging innovation is probably one of your goals, after all.:^)
So if the person is breaking into stuff, arrest them. If they're not, who cares? You can't preemptively assume behaviors in people and punish them for these behaviors.
The solution is to elect leaders who understand why privacy is important and who aren't being paid by these companies to make their "solutions" legally mandatory.
What's the oldest piece of code you can get running? Either on emulation or on original hardware. Be creative, winner gets... well, kudos. But that's gotta count for something on Slashdot right?:^P

I probably would have modded you up Insightful if I had points.
Eh, the underlying idea is SQL injection. It could work just as easily on an equally unprotected PHP script.
And I'd totally have left to go to an office that cares about productivity and not how or when their developers are working.
Also, Tor and/or encryption.

Anonymous referring to the group is a noun.
Who cares if it's twitter or not? GP was informative and moderated as such.

Chances of it having several Microsoft-specific "add-ons" that are patent-encumbered and not supported by the actual ODF spec: Approaching 100%.

If anyone's interested in knowing about the "Church" and its abuses, Anonymous, or the protests in general, Anonymous has a great page on Why We Protest.
So anyone disagreeing with Scientology is inherently pro-terror? Either that was a really bad joke or you're revealing yourself here.

My God uses IPv6, for His fellowship is not limited by mortal means.
(He also likes making fun of those other Gods that limit themselves to 65,534 followers. Like they can call themselves a religion.)
Not to mention that Intel's chips will probably take forever and a day to be certified, if they ever are.

Wait, Missouri's in Kansas now?
Amen. If I had mod points (and I hadn't already posted here) I'd mod you up.

And as usual, we'll all get some entertainment out of it thanks to TPB and nothing will be brought down.

Subtract 10 years from each of your estimations. Subcutanous RFID chips are available now .
