  1. RIAA PROPAGANDA - MODERATE DOWN! on States Sue Record Companies For Price Fixing · · Score: 1

    This has been posted over and over again in RIAA/Napster stories. It is pure propaganda. It should be moderated troll, redundant, flamebait, or overrated.

    Um, no...

    There were several weeks between the "revelation" and the episode were Gervase gets kicked off. This would have been ample time to refilm the rest of the episodes.

  3. Re:Why do you want more stuff in space? on Launch Limits Lifted · · Score: 1

    Space may be big, but the good orbits around earth aren't. Geosynchronous orbit is just a thin shell of space. That's where the telcom satellites are.

    In the lower orbits, like where the space shuttle flies, space isn't all that big. Especially when you have to worry about tiny pieces of debris.

  4. Re:More isn't always better on Launch Limits Lifted · · Score: 1

    I know that it flies with the doors open for cooling purposes, not because of space junk. That way, it vents its heat to space.

    And, when you think about it, its up-down orientation doesn't really matter in terms of getting hit by debris.

    I'll agree that there *is* a space junk problem, though.

  5. Re:Why do you want more stuff in space? on Launch Limits Lifted · · Score: 1

    I posted about this below. I think that NORAD tracks pieces larger than, say, a baseball (because that's all the radar can see), and there are many thousands of pieces.

    Plus, even a paint chip can do damage at those speeds!

  6. Space Junk on Launch Limits Lifted · · Score: 1

    Personally, I think that there could be problems with loads of new stuff going into space. There's already a lot of satellites out there, but the worst part is all of the uncontrollable debris.

    I think that NORAD or whatever tracks *thousands* of pieces which could cause damage. Every time one of those rockets deploys its payload you have a panel or a bolt go floating off, ready to punch a hole in something at 18,000 mph.

    Just food for thought.

    Beg pardon the poor English I writes after a few lessons only!

    It is not like it a channel Linux of all have really, it is? Thus, why they disturb? I think that perhaps they should move precisely above. And why does expenditure of conductor and differences treat it? Ain't windows Linux. I represent that nobody, Linux which makes function its large box of play bad lot, not an ass probably transmit would not like to receive, as one receives installation of the conductors. They could represent it probably really outside without Gamespy disturbing to mention it with them. Doesn't the Gamespy article really again break ground, him? I mean it, am not as the plays of Linux am largely, right? Since the article underlines, the principal expenditure which stops the back Linux today a its platform of play likely to be developed, is standards and an implementation of conductor. I only could receive some plays, for with my system working correctly (after the many
    hours recently qualified drivers downloaded and adjusting). Some plays do not work with all. This one is far a cry Windows 98cSe. People to precisely

    Hmm.. actually, I think that if a lot of companies band together to shut off another, it is called "restraint of trade," which is actionable.

    I have thought of suing these people myself for theft of service - that's what they're doing when they use my mailserver to attempt to relay mail.

    What I'd like to do with one of these suckers is get my friends together and start building our own backbone, free of government iinterference and snooping. No NSA members allowed.

    Don't think that it wouldn't be useful, either - between us we have thousands of MP3s.

  15. Groan. on Diablo 2 Goes Gold · · Score: 4

    Now, all of my loser friends are going to be playing this game. And, you're telling me that I won't even have Slashdot?!?!?

    What kind of a cruel world is this?

    I'm going to have to sit around and READ BOOKS while you guys play this damn game.

    I will go cry now.

  16. Re:okay. wow. slashdot is a little behind again. on New Mice from Apple - Without Buttons? · · Score: 1

    I did a little test of how long it takes them to process stories the other day.

    First, and this was right after the Hellmouth book, I submitted a story titled "Class Action Lawsuit filed against Katz!" I got a hit within ten minutes. Then, it was rejected because it was fake.

    Various other stories were reviewed (mostly declined) within five to 45 minutes.

    Remember, a great deal of those "stories" are just trolls.

    It's not volume - it's pseudovolume - garbage that is quickly filtered out.

  17. Quick Advice on Linux DVD hardware support From SiS · · Score: 1

    Just a tip - I installed Red Hat on a system with a SiS graphics card, and I had a bitch of a time getting linux support. No drivers, poor documentation - I had to guess on all of the input values until it worked.

    I was kinda shocked to see their name in connection with Linux!

    1. He was a MI team member before, he knows you gotta make it look like an accident--thus the destruction of the whole plane. Go in, achieve the goal, get out, leave no traces.

    People steal briefcases every day. Wanna know how they do it? They walk up to the person, grab the case, and run away. You don't have to crash a plane just to steal a bag. That would leave no traces, because it would just look like an everyday mugging.

    Any real professional would know to keep it simple, stupid.

    Besides, they didn't fool anybody! They didn't even dispose of the pilot's fucking body!

  19. Don't overestimate them, either.... on Best Way to Get Kids Started in Programming? · · Score: 2

    I think that it's a bad idea to overestimate them, too. Give a kid a linux box that he can't understand, and he might just become frustrated and use NT. That would be very sad.

    SO, my advice is to challenge children in moderation.

    Just my two cents.

  20. (-1, redundant) ! on The Next Generation of ILOVEYOU:The Porn Worm · · Score: 1

    That's the score that this article should get, on account of the fact that this has been discussed SEVERAL TIMES on /.!! I mean, if I name a worm after myself, will I get a story?

  22. wait.. on H.R. 3113: Spam Bounty Hunters Wanted · · Score: 1

    Let's look at the story behind the story here.

    Since when are congressmen so interested in the internet? I've sent my reps tons of stuff about tech issues. When I ask them to overturn restrictions on encryption, etc., they say "duh, I'm still reading internet for dummies."

    My suspicion is that this i spart of an effort to regulate the internet.

    Right now, there is NO CONTROLLING LEGAL AUTHORITY over the internet. No buearau of internet safety. But, there would have to be if there were going to be federally enforced anti-spam laws.

    I promise that this won't stop with spammers. It will extend to internet taxation and other unpleasant regulations.

    This guy has a good point.

    Governments that have become police states criminalize simple, innocuous actions. This means that virtually everyone is a criminal, and if they don't like you, theyll be able to arrest you and convict you of scads of crimes that you unwittingly comitted.

  25. Re:Don't really need list software? on What Setup Is Best For Large Mailing Lists? · · Score: 1

    Technically, it is a moderated announcement list. I send out a joke every day to every subscriber, which as I said, is quite a few. I wasn't planning on having so many - it started out to be just for family and friends, but I hope that I can quit my day job soon!

    I do need some kind of list software - I can't bcc: the joke to a thousand people using microsoft lookout or Eudora!

    Anyway, the subscribers "don't" get to post ot the list - but I've done experiments, I've heard from other people - my list package doesn't have the best security, and it might be possible for an unauthorized person to send a message to the list. Which would be bad.

    I'm running it on a 90MHz Macintosh (yes, it sucks). The package I'm using - I probably shouldn't say what it is - but it's meant for a list of about a hundred people. It sucks.

    Besides the potential security issue, it is damn slow. There are barely enough hours in a day to send out all of the messages. I need more speed.

    I do have a very fast DSL pipe. It's just a hardware and software problem. Basically, if you had a list, what s/w and h/w would you use?

    P.S. I just went to Best Buy today and bought Red Hat 6.2. Woo hoo! So, linux solutions are now acceptable. :)

    Thanks for the help!
