Within hours of the raids, net traffic in Iceland fell 40 per cent, according to SMAIS (Iceland's association of film right holders)
what the hell do film right holders know about network traffic? is it the icelandic department of copyright enforcement, networking services, and bait&tackle shop?

i'd vote for Genndy Tartakovsky to direct
on
Star Wars TV Show

wow.. if Tartakovsky AND Kevin Smith worked on it... drool~~~
I think it's obvious that good or bad for us, using the internet is psychologically addicting, like sex, marijuana, or rock&roll. Patterns of deprivation will be similar regardless of the specific addiction.

an offtopic q... how could i have sent this thanks more privately? the closest option i saw slashdot offering was to mod you as a friend, is there no pm when a/. user shows no contact email?
i remember my professor introducing me to ip6 a few years ago, and one of the major things he touched on was tunneling through ip4 networks. soooo what was the problem, and why does this article make it seem like it needs more software? did that not end up implemented by default?
from the blocklist: Port 1080: SOCKS versions 4 & 5 - Same as Port 80 above.
that's a really smart inclusion, to proactively scan for vulnerable SOCKS hosts. i remember way back when on irc, just scan chatters' hosts for open socks ports and try plugging their hosts into mirc if it bounced back, voila, 3/5 times i had a new hostname as visible on irc. unbannable, especially if using an ops hostname ^^ in wonder if that's still the case...
ya gotta plug the kiddie holes first, imho (GOD could that be taken poorly out of context...)
#1 bbs door (boy, that's a word i ain't used in a while) of all time in my book. ^_-..i don't think efforts to port it to run in a webpage ever made it past beta. not sure.
George Clinton (Parliament Funkadelic) was way ahead of his time. He released CDs of the drumloops, etc that make up all of his music, and provided the liscense to reuse them as part of that purchase. This is one of the main reasons we heard so many hiphop songs using his sounds in the mid-90s.
I forget who, but someone has a song called "let's get together and steal each others' songs". Willie Nelson spoke of it during his VH1 Storytellers session with Johnny Cash.

What?!?!?! That's SO wrong. There is definetly creativity in reuse. I could list good examples of meta-art all day long.
- rap/hiphop sampling beats/lines from r&b songs - classic rock reusing old blues riffs/lines - blues reusing old gospel lines
- andy warhol's campbell's soup can painting
(easy example, but i wonder why ppl like it..)
- any picture made of lots of little pictures
- any fan-art, from a child's snoopy drawing
to entire star trek/wars fan-novels
- sprite-based webcomics
- the most meta comic in the world

simply put, art draws from culture, and culture draws from art. technology now approaches making it as easy to incite the original art as it is to speak its' name. we're only going to keep getting more referential.
If you liked grave of the fireflies that much, seek out 'Barefoot Gen', an autobiographical account of the bombing of Hiroshima.
this site has a few pix.. I'm sure you can websearch yourself. It's very haunting, because though Keiji Nakazawa wrote it when he was much older, you could easily be fooled into feeling like a child is storytelling the greatest horrors possibly anyone has ever endured...I've not seen the anime, but I've read a good amount of the manga I've found at public libraries now and then.
(now THIS is offtopic, because it's not sci-fi. Akira DEFINETLY was on-topic, thppt.)
Some time ago I got a flat tire, and was constantly blown back by the windforce of passing trucks. The thought occurred to me, that all that energy goes to waste despite being very predictable and fairly ubiquitous accross our country. I'd like to see someone invent a very disposable, mass-producable, cheap windmill, maybe as big as a pinwheel, that we can use to cover the center medians of our highways and possibly power at LEAST all the traffic lights. This article looks like the efficiencies are increasing.. now to make it fractions of a penny to produce.
...possibly the illiad & oddyessy. but i like akira.
the 6-compendium set is page after page of ultra-detailed cityscapes, and sits a little higher than a foot when stacked end to end. it's an epic operettic masterpeice with strong classic 'noh' theatre themes; unfolding a tail of decay & rebirth, (imho) very accurately depicting different kinds of power struggles as society is broken by cataclysm. The scope of the story is unbeleivably broad and deep, comparable to the massive character development I see in Greek classics. As far as sci-fi goes, I beleive its' most accurate trait is in its' psychology; the science in the story is heavily eastern in nature, which is a pleasing difference from most the sci-fi I know, based in western science.
The movie is pleasing but choppy.. like what would happen if you tried to condense a three-day long norse opera into an hour.
It's clear (to me) one of the earliest adopters of this will be professional server-rooms.. specifically, the ones that just loooooove to automate everything.
Previously, the cruelest malware, to me, were the ones that shut down fans, thereby doing physical damage beyond the logical damage incurred. Is this where that gets stepped up to killing a ROOM of computers?

this needs modding up
