New, from the brilliant minds that brought you the patriot act, the new V chip for your brain!
Now you cant think those nasty thoughts anymore. Any negative thoughts will be replaced by an image of GWB playing in a sunny field surrounded by bunnies.
First thing I'd do if I was indymedia was have those drives replaced...possibly the whole box if possible.
Secondly I'd switch server companies entirley to prevent any sort of "tapping" through another host (man in the middle)
The patriot act, the one thing I completley disagree with President Bush on. Gotta love it.
Hey I got a brilliant Idea! We dont like the decisions foobar university is making, lets start a website about our views.
*Lawers enter*
Lawyers: now hold on little jimmy, dont go making that website just yet. You cant state your opinions and ACTUALLY tell anyone who they are about. That might be offensive.
Anarchist Jim: So i cant have my downwithfoobar.com site?
Lawyers: Of course not
Anarchist Jim: Then how will I express my views.
Lawyers: Well, your allowed to make statements, you just cant use anyones name.
Yeah, This sounds plausible. Has anyone heard of the first ammendment here? it sounds like the freedom of the press is bieng trampled on. Think about it. Wouldnt the news be a bit boring if you couldnt use any names?
Telco company: Hello, welcome to genericom, how may i assist you.
Me: My pho....pho....ne.... is laa...a..aaaa....a..g....
Telco company: Whats that sir, I cant quite understand you.
Me: My god....amn....phon...is....lagg...
Telco Company: Sir, your going to have to speak more clearly...
Patriot act : 1, Bill of Rights : 0
I love it when this sorta stuff happens. Where is the ACLU in all of this, thier property was seized without any reason given? The BS detector is reading a 9.5
Looks like 411 just got outdated.
Now I can get a phone number and address for anyone via SMS. And a text message costs what? less than 5 cents? vs a 2 dollar call to information?
"We ourselves are not going after...or the nuclear reactor control market..."
Ahh, so even the great Bill Gates doesnt trust the stability/security of windows THAT much.
I'd trust my slack box to run my reactor...now where are those dilithium crystals...
How long until we see ebayjobs.com?
Hell a few years ago people would never have bought cars off the internet, let alone at auction, i ended up buying two!
I'd love to meet the scientist that thought this up. It probably went something like this:
Boss: Well we've made promising gains in the DNA reasearch project, Now what applications could this be used for
Engineer: The possibilites are litless! we could cure cancer! We could invent a super puppy that combines the abilities of a lovable puppy and tux, the friendly linux penguin! We could use it to rengenerate limbs for amputees!
Marketing: Lets use it to get rid of spam emails!
Boss: Great idea! Lets go with that one.
Almost makes me want to play CS once again, the graphics look cool, and I'm a huge fan of good physics.
But I despise Steam, I refuse to support something that will eventually try to get me to pay a subscription for a game I paid for.
It sorta makes you wonder what would happen in the event of another terrorist attack on america. A terrorist sets a bomb off in washington DC, and our alert system is shutdown by a simple attack on the system. There was no real reason to question the systems security. The logical response would be the system is heavily encrypted and secure. Hats off to the government. After 9/11 they couldnt figure out that a SECURE system was required? Sigh. How many people would die before they changed the system? I doubt it would cost a terrible ammount to make the system secure. Thankfully someone brought attention to it before it was exploited.

How much negative feedback will be left on ebay due to user stupidity? The world wonders...

So now the mystery of ilovebees.com is solved. Nasa crashed the test probe.

You actually READ the sources?!? That is against the /. way!

10 bucks goes to the first company/person to make me a case out of this stuff.

At least to slashdot reading muggers, who, thanks to you, have been told to look out for first year duke students!
How many drunken college students will lose these things around campus?
Why do we need to go mach 15 anyway?
Somehow I give as much credit to valve for keeping thier word as far as subscriptions go as I give them for keeping an HL2 Release date.

So what your saying is, the framebuffer console will be replaced by Tux blasting the BSOD and billions of Error reports into oblivion?

Maybe what they mean is theres a lower cost to hackers of "owning" microsoft software.
