People dont like the obsceneties scrolled in public bathrooms? Ive read some pretty insightful ones. I always enjoy the literary treat in what would otherwise be a bland and scary experience.
and grow up. How are you going to defend against trolls by crying to the gms? You arent. There will always be trolls. Dont give them attention and they disapear everytime. I hate that everyones such a fucking sissy on the internet these days. The bloggers, the wow players... If this is what it means to have the masses on the information superhighway, I say kick them off!
A guy I used to work with had some accident with chemicals and had no fingerprints. He used to work installing home alarms so Im not sure how much I trust that it was really an "accident". Regardless, he had no fingerprints.
It's too bad you weren't paying attention during your installation, in which you were asked to configure automatic updates.
The domain admin configured them.
It's further too bad that you didn't inspect your various settings, instead simply trusting the computer to automatically be configured to do precisely what you want it to.
Settings are locked down with group policy and hidden or unchangeable.
It's also too bad that you don't know how to use autosave, either.
Do you really want to have drafts around of all your mails doubbling space requirements? Moreover that, I just took a look at windows mail and maybe im missing something, but it seems to lack this wonderful autosave feature you are extolling.
Perhaps if you learned how to use your computer, you'd have a better time with it.
Go fuck yourself.
Second, if you're a developer, you'd better fucking know what you're doing
Well maybe thats how it works in your parents basement, but in the real world the developers don't go near operating system patches.
You know thats atypical right? A friend of mine used to be addicted to heroin very badly. Him and his buddies would sell stuff daily to pawnshops. He even went so far as to brag that half the inventory of the shoppe was courtesy of him and his friends.
Go to any bad part of town and you can see for yourself tweakers selling decks for five or ten dollars. Its rampent where Im from. Drugs are more important than getting caught, especially if you have 'no fixed address' like most street people.
"fruits of their labor taken advantage of by others in ways they don't approve."
Lets see. How can you take advantage of a book? Other than ignoring it, burning it, restricting it or fraudlently stealing and selling the manuscripts. Sure it would be bad if neohitler loved your book, but theres really nothing you can do about that.
How is music or movies any different? who loses but me if I dont see a movie? The creator already has seen his creation come to life. That should give him emmense joy. Its not a trivial thing making a work of art for and that the world would enjoy. Restricting it is akin to a selfish god. One day we will have nanoforges. Please think ahead.
"This sounds like socialized medicine via the back door."
I guess by your inflection we are to assume you are not in favour of socialized medicine? This is why americans don't deserve socialized medicine. They are arrogant, selfish and deserve to die pennyless in the street from common bacterial infections. May the last sound your wheezing body hears, be some guy on a cel phone pausing from his conversation to tell you to 'get a job' before spitting in your tear soaked face.
It goes farther than that my friend. Good and evil were creations of the first religions. There is no such thing as good and evil. Reality is subjective so there cant be "good" and "evil" only your personal reflections of reality filtered through your personal morals. There is no such thing as any universal morality, anyone who tells you different is trying to control you.
Maybe its because im not an american, but I dont really believe in the BSA. I sware I remember reading that they are alot more hype than substance, even in the USA.
I cant and wont live in fear. I like licensing, but if its honour thy M$ or pay the bills Ill pick pay the bills everytime.
I am also perplexed. 1) The software in question is by microsoft, the most hated of hated. 2) Theres no real threat of anything bad ever comming of it. Definitely not a ticking time bomb ethical delima here... 3) Ive never worked at a business that didnt have at least some pirated software. Its hard to believe that most people haven't. 4) If this was an article about a communal mp3 server I find it hard to believe most people would back the RIAA. 5) MS has said repeatidly that they would rather you pirate their software than use a competitors product. Other companies hold this view as well like adobe.
Sure its a corporation, and not an individual doing the infringing, but could that be it? Is it really so different from the kid who installs photoshop in college so he can become a web developer? i guess most people think that corporations make loads of money so they should carry(make up for) all the casual pirates out there. To me this logic doesnt really fly. I really thought more people on slashdot were open to the idea of pirating software. A software is just a tool right? Shouldn't everyone be allowed free access to the tools that they need to create something of real value? Are people really behind the artifical scarcity of software resources/tools?
Im sorry but microsoft has made it impossible using their monopoly position to NOT use office. Open offices spreadsheet is notoriously different than excel and most accountants will have no end of bitching till they get their precious excel back. Companies should be as legal as possible, but ultimately its a management decision and you have to put food on the table.
I dont regard software piracy as that immoral though so I might be more nonchalant than you (its right around using pirated mp3s for your hold music imho, as in your not going to get caught and it doesnt hurt anyone). If the company mandated I install prayer screen savers onto every PC because they were ultra religious I might care more to stand up to it. The bottom line is if it offends you that much and you really think M$ is dying in the streets for cash, fight them. Stand up and quit if nessecary. I wouldn't advise narcing them out though. To me that would be the most immoral thing you could do. Petty revenge that.
I suppose you'll be fronting the cash to him for that. I know schools are generally regarded as sitting on mounds of cash, but I figured considering your trying to be so helpful that maybe you would like to do a bit more.
Oh grow the fuck up. You clearly havent had to administer a large network. Since when is using a proxy "creative problem solving". Its pretty much the most basic and insecure way to solve this "problem". I hope they all get their facebooks hacked by russians.
If I caught one of my users using a proxy to bypass filters HR would bitchslap them out of the company. The students probably even signed an AUP to use the computer resources! If not, they will or should from now on. Is it really so hard to understand that if its not your network, you do not get to fuck with it. What if they configure a proxy and the next person to use the PC accessed some web based banking thing or intranet student database? Who gets the blame for the compromised machine?
Are you asking why CS is the most popular FPS even though it was released 10 years ago? Well I think its because it makes you wait inbetween rounds and after death. Constant killing gets boring in a half an hour for me. kill, respawn kill respawn bleh.. But CS makes you wait like an addict for another hit.
The only game to come close to CS was bf1942 but then EA baught it and turned that whole franchise to stinking crap.

I think I have files older than you...
But linus spake!
Wasn't that also one of the many stars you could fly to in outpost, the buggiest game of all time?
I believe dylan gave the song to hendrix. I know he said he prefered it to his version and played the hendrix version exclusively after his death.
Yes but when people finally go back to hating ipods (its only natural you just have to own one), you will have hated them before it was cool.
You clearly dont understand how "ask slashdot" works. Someone asks a question, and then we all make fun of that person.
Does that trivial semantic justification really help you sleep at night? Oh I forgot, your fighting a war against evil, as gwb put it. GO TEAM!
