You hit an interesting nail, there. I wonder how much of Ubuntu's community came around looking for something a bit more up-to-date than Woody, which was getting long in the tooth when Ubuntu first came around (and didn't get a new release for more than a year after that).
According to what the law says, this situation is exactly proper. This should only serve to point out how archaic a concept sovereign immunity is, and how it needs to be removed.
(And before you ask, no, I don't want to pick up the code and add SMP support myself, thanks.)
Tell you what...why don't you FedEx your videos to a developer and ask him to do it for you? I'm sure they'd be happy to help a nice, polite, motivated person like yourself.
Telling people something you don't like personally is retarded, is retarded. Assuming everyone has the same tastes and values as you is just plain arrogant.
I knew this a while ago. In a fit of stupidity, several years ago, I decided to join Canada's NDP, and I was dumb enough to give them my email address. What ensued has been very educational about the position privacy concerns really occupy in Canada. Not only do they use a huge variety of spam-filter evasion techniques on their missives, but they blatantly ignore their own privacy policy, to the point of ridiculing their own members when they ask about it. Now, I shouldn't have expected a lot from a political party, but it seems interesting that the people who demand that others obey privacy rules (to the point of creating laws to compel people to do so) would have such a disdain for them. If they won't follow it, what possible incentive does anyone else have to waste any effort doing so?
Cuz we all know that Bill Gates was at the forefront, standing fast on the thin red line between Microsoft and the open source hordes. Now that he's out of the way, I'm sure there'll be no other obstacles.
Write a program that creates random code and tries to run it, then starts again. Eventually, we'll have the Singularity and not have to worry about finding cool things to do.
I wonder how that would compare to the memory one would use getting someone at the webhost to write down text representations of the packets, snail mailing them to you (one per envelope of course), and having you parse them into the requested pages in your head.
I could see this being used for nastier things than DRM...how about an iPhone that turns into a crippled iPod Touch when not activated by an approved carrier (and can't be simply unlocked, due to its sudden lack of phone hardware after being remotely told to turn the 3G chip into Mr. Hyde)?
Yeah. Good. Put your IP in the web server logs, with a referrer showing you came from here, knowing that they have been known to perform network attacks. (Sure, the odds of them needing to dig IPs out of their front-page server hit logs for DOS attacks are pretty remote, but why put your head in the lion's mouth?).
Slashdot Mirror
It was already on one page, karma whore.
The polar bear repellant has kept the streets of Beijing free of polar bear activity.

Sounds like the Comedian who went to a telemarketers conference and started calling all the hotel rooms at 3 am and published the results.
Got a link for that?
Slashdot is full of trolls...should we get rid of it, too?

Might not tone your muscles, but it'll keep the weight down.

Tell him computers are for grown-ups, and that he'll be punished it you catch him programming before he's 18.

Are you trying to imply that software publishers are stealing from society, by charging for their software?
I told you to call me SleepyHappyDoc now! *BLAM*
There's a way around that. Kill your entire family, move to a different country, and insist all your new friends call you by your internet name.
Wikipedia says it's the north eastern corner of the city of London, roughly. I don't get the article, either.

Ouch. Does he also have trust issues? Occasionally, people do speak the truth...
You know there's a big link at the very top of the article that lets you view the original...it's really not that difficult.
Man, this guy will do anything to get himself in the news!
The Pirate Bay, you insensitive clod!
I thought that, too, after the mivii stuff, but then they go and do this...who knows how low they could go?
