  1. Re:Disable Greasemonkey on Hacking the Web with Greasemonkey · · Score: 1

    What happens when I start distributing purple-tinted glasses a street or two away from the museum (and target people going to the museum) and say "Use these glasses when viewing Painting X"? Oh that's right. Nothing.

    That's like saying one can redistribute what britney spears and beethoven sounds like at the same time by telling peolpe how to play them at the same time.

    No, redistributing the changed website wouldn't be uploading a greasemonkey script. It would be downloading the website, modifying it and then uploading it onto your own server.

    Now, now. That's not the same situation. Instead break into the office and photo-copy all the documents (or take photos so you can read what's on the documents in the photo). That'd be a comparable situation. And I would hope the people who did such a crime would be punished. But I can't help but wonder, would they be punished to the same degree as these computer "hackers"?

    So can people break into my school locker and it be perfectly alright? After all, the school should have had better security in place.

    Seriously. How is thyis Insightful? Most people tend to run on blood. Are the mods who are modding the posts here on crack or something? This whole story keeps getting insightful mods for Utter nonesense (albeit funny nonsense ;)).

    I think quite a few people died from the a-bomb.... I always wondered if there was meant to be a b-bomb, and they decided against it because it sounded like they were stuttering.

    "Deploy the b-bomb"
    "Which bomb?"
    "The b-bomb."
    "Yeah, I know you want the bomb deployed. But which bomb?"
    "The bomb after a."

  18. Re:Does it all come down to money on UK Schools Told to Dump Microsoft · · Score: 2, Insightful


    The report says to dump microsoft. What happens when microsoft do make the best tool for the job? It seems too broad to me.


    How about this:

    Dump Microsoft OS, and if Microsoft comes out with any good tools that are really the best tool possible for something the school needs, to buy the software once Microsoft makes it available for the OS the school is using? Sounds fine to me.

    Saying "we must keep buying new windows operating systems, because what if in the future microsoft comes out with that killer up we have to have?" is crazy. And if you think you can keep your old windows operating system and still make use of that new program, you're naieve or insane.

  19. Re:Its a matter of nature on Fair Use Review in Australia · · Score: 1

    Secondly, boycotting a DRMed product when the industry aims at forbidding the sales of any non-compliant products doesn't sound very practical.

    Once Bob the indie down the street can't sell his stuff non-DRM'd and you can't play it, come back and talk about this. Until then, STFU.

    I comlpetely agree: a lot more people should have read (and understood) 1984.


    Such as understanding that he wasn't talking about the future, but in fact the present (1948)? 1984 wasn't an attempt at prediction, but was instead talking about the issues that were relevant to Orwell's time period (and may still be relevant in our own).
