  1. Civil Disobedience: Slashdot Style on MPAA Sending Out DMCA Demand Letters · · Score: 1

    Let's have some civil disobedience, Slashdot style!

    Somebody post the offending materials, and we can post them on our web pages, along with the source code to RSA, and our links to SETI@Home!

    I want one of these letters!

  2. Re:"lied under oath"? "committed perjury"? on MPAA Sending Out DMCA Demand Letters · · Score: 1

    Perjury is not lying. Perjury is breaking an oath. Thus, lying if you are a witness in court is perjury because you swore (took an oath) to tell the truth.

    You would swear to the truth if you were a lawyer sending a letter like this.

  3. Re:I'm confused, what about NASDAQ ticker symbols? on Linus Explains Linux Trademark Issues · · Score: 1

    3 digit or smaller ticker symbols are for the big guys, the heavy hitters, companies like IBM (IBM) or Lucent (LU). Smaller cap stocks will have 4-5 letter ticker symbols.

    In general, brokers charge a higher comission on stocks with longer tickers, probably because they have a lower volume and it's more difficult to make trades.

  4. Re:Do the Decent Thing! on Voting Begins for $100k Beanie Awards · · Score: 1

    hmmm.... bah!

    I am voting intensely for things that I have barely heard of. I mean, If I've heard of one thing, but not the other, it's better, right? I've never used Linux, but I voted on every topic!

    Sorry, man. You're fighting a losing battle.

  5. What Polar Lander? on Giving Up on Mars Polar Lander · · Score: 1

    I'm convinced that there was never any polar lander at all. What we have here is a 150 million dollar spy sattelite in geosynchronous orbit, looking down on some "terrorists." Or an exotic weapon of some sort. Whatever. But, you can't convince me that these last two failures were really attempts at all; merely cover ups for something else.

  6. Realism? on Virtual Newscaster · · Score: 1

    Am I correct in interpreting this as a virtual actor? If so, how realistic is it? Can it do better than the stilted tone in which my Power Mac speaks to me?

  7. Re:Good tactic on MSNBC: Stealing Credit Card Numbers Online is Easy · · Score: 1

    Actually, I just started doing it (cuz I just got my mail server, WOO HOO!), so I haven't caught anyone so far.

    Another thing I do to make the internet a better place is use SpamCop. Try it, it feels got to take spammers' accounts away!

  8. Re:Good tactic on MSNBC: Stealing Credit Card Numbers Online is Easy · · Score: 1

    That's a good one. You can do it in the internet world, too, if you have your own mail server. I have every piece of mail sent to mydomain.com forwarded to another address. If I enter a contest for a free router at Cisco, I tell them my address is Cisco@mydomain.com (I can do these on the fly, without setting anything up). Then, when I get spam that's addressed to Cisco@mydomain.com, I know who sold me out!

  9. Why Not Use Credit Cards over the Net? on MSNBC: Stealing Credit Card Numbers Online is Easy · · Score: 5

    I can't understand why people refuse to buy things over the internet.

    First of all, if someone makes a purchase with your credit card, but you haven't actually lost the card, then you are liable for nothing. You have nothing to use!

    Credit card theft and fraud occur without the internet. Your wallet/purse can get stolen. In that case, you are liable for up to 50 dollars. A waiter or clerk can copy down your numbers.

    The risk isn't any greater at all, but fear tactics from the media like this MSNBC story don't give a sense of proportion.

    It doesn't pay for *all* web sites, but the larger, independent ones. And porn sites. :-) "PLEEEAZE CLICK HERE AND VISIT MY SPONSERS PLEEZE!"

    What does pay for these things, if not advertising?

  11. Re:Ask: If they edit logos, what else do they edit on NBC Upset About CBS's Digital Ethics · · Score: 2

    Wow, that's a funky reading of the constitution. At least, I *assume* that your point is loosely based on the constitution. Having just read it again, it sounds kinda funny.

    Sure, the newspapers can be liable for libel (pun intended). Libel is slandering someone, but only if what they write is untrue. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff to prove that said libel is untrue.

    There is no such crime as "misleading the public." Tellya what - why don't you try to sue some major media outlet for "misleading you" into buying lots of food for Y2K. Note how long it takes for you to get laughed out of court. Better yet, try to even find a lawyer who's willing to go along!

    "The press" isn't obligated by any law to tell the truth, or not to mislead. They lie and mislead all the time.

  12. Re:The big corporations should get used to it on NBC Upset About CBS's Digital Ethics · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and it would be the first step to ending free TV, web sites, and radio. Advertising pays for a lot of stuff in our society. It even pays for me to surf the web, and then it really doesn't bother me! (Don't know what I'm talking about? Check out All Advantage.)

    jews control the media because a disproportionate number of mainstream media outlets are owned by jews. sumner redstone, etc, etc. I'll give you a list if you want.

    Do you know how many jews are in Clinton's cabinet? The majority. Statistically, there shouldn't be any. My elite private school is 40 percent jewish. I wish those spots could be filled by Aryan boys and girls.

    Jews have been punished, yes. They are intrinsically evil. I'm going to write an essay and post it here later, because I don't have the energy right now. OK?

    P.S. JustShootMe, don't respond to this with one of your childish tactics.

    You seem to be under two false impressions: that I am a facist or other authoritarian, and that I am over 21. Both are false.

    I have plenty of brain activity. My IQ and test scores put me in the top 99.999 percent of the population, according to a standardized IQ test.

    But, really, details about me are not germane to this discussion. I would be happy to debate, if you have any counter-arguements.

    Or do you, deep down inside, know that what I'm saying is true, but you just don't want the foolish goyem to see it?

    Incidentally, there is no basis for this post to be moderated down. I made a rational argument, which I have the right to do.

    Oy, veh!

    Two can play at your silly game. And remember, if my post is moderated down, I make it a page long and plaster it all over Slashdot. I will be heard. Why won't you debate me?

    I am willing to have a debate/discussion if there are any points which you disagree with. Whether or not I crawled out from under a rock is not germane to this issue. If childish insults and pleas to moderators are all you have to offer, you forfeit the debate to me.

    Personally, having porn one click away just isn't good enough. Rob can start by replacing the ad banners with porn. Does he have a girlfriend? Is she hot? Would she be willing to model?

    I would then replace Linux news with pornography related news. Hell, if Rob does it gradually, he could turn this place into a porn site!
