  1. Minority Religions... on Help Bush and Gore Answer Slashdot Questions · · Score: 4

    What will you do to protect the rights of atheists and those who hold minority faiths, such as Wicca, Santaria, Shinto, et al?

    Pick a candidate for this one...

    I would put them on reservations for their own protection, we could give them blankets. But we don't want just any derilect cult running around practicing beliefs in this country. I believe in 'Freedom of Christainity' er, religion that is and everyone has the right to practice whatever religion they want as long as they do it so that it doesn't piss off the christians.

  2. Market for this? on Desperately Seeking Secure and Reliable Email? · · Score: 1

    Is there really a market for just setting up a box at a colocation facility and running secure email with it?

    I would be interested in knowing this!

    The DIY approach is great but what if you want this for your business? You could hire a consultant at $100/hr to come out and do it and then not have that much control

    Are there any businesses out there that give you fifty email addresses, control over your aliases and web based email through https://mail.yourdomain.com for around $35/mo.?

    Yeah I remember when I made my first million. I was sixteen and ripe out of sophmore year.

    I just don't know what to do with myself now that my global expansion has just taken off I don't know how I'm going to finish my homework

    Oh well, maybe I'll download my senior research project online...

  4. Re:huh? on Microsoft's New Language · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be C-Bash, or Sea-Bash, or Sea-Bass?

    Just curious, JAVA is crap anyway. Servlets are crap. Use PHP or Perl.

    Love,

  5. Re:Cool on Jackson Sends Microsoft Case To Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    It looks more like he doesn't want M$ to appeal his findings into the ground. Two years of appeals would just mean that all the money and trouble spent on this trial would be wasted.

  6. Re:Helix Code Inclusion? on Gnucash v1.4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I can to spell, I just can't type! And yes Primus does suck, work on your grammar. :)

  7. Helix Code Inclusion? on Gnucash v1.4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Is there a chance that this will make it into Helix Code's Gnome distro? I have been using Helix's stuff for about 3 months and I love it. This would mean I can actually keep track of the money I spend on caffiene!

  8. Propaganda Sucks on MPAA Head Valenti on DVD "Hackers" · · Score: 1

    I sent this to letters@latimes.com I hope you do the same:

    I have a problem with the article:

    http://www.calendarlive.com/calendarlive/movies/ 20000130/t000009450.html

    This article pertains to DVD's and the MPAA. One is nice, the other is not,
    and in that order. I have to ask why you publish this? Is it for money? Is
    it because the LA Times supports this? Why?

    This "article" is blatant propaganda and slanderous at that. It uses the
    term "Hacker" like it is a sin to be one. Hackers are not theives, they are
    the people who brought you the internet way back in the 70's. Jack Valenti
    (the author whos hands are dirty) writes as though he thinks that the "code"
    he is referring to is akin to child pornography. This code does not even
    work in its current form, I know this because I have it. It is just an
    example of a singular implementation by Jon Johansson to demonstrate that it
    is possible to play DVD's under the PC operating system Linux.

    This "program that allows computer users to hack into encrypted digital
    video discs" WAS intended for use in a DVD player application (something
    that isn't going to be implemented on a free OS such as Linux unless someone
    does it). Consumers have been able to playback and view entire movies on
    their computers for quite some time now, this isn't a novel idea.

    To play the movies, you must first de-encrypt them, and then view the 'data
    stream' that is is produced through an mpeg compatible viewer. Jack is wrong
    when he says that you need to remove the encryption to copy the disc to your
    hard drive. You don't need to at all, only when you view the movie do you
    need to. I personally have seen movies off of a persons hard drive like
    this. Obviously, the intention is not to steal property or to make "pirate"
    copies of movies but to watch movies off of ones legally purchased hardware
    and DVD's.

    So, unless you or you authors will stop the propaganda and the witch hunt
    that has ruined Jon Johansson's calm 16 year old life. Don't publish blatant
    lies and trash. I have been an "evil hacker" since the first day I had a
    computer, or for that matter was mentally aware of my existance. You don't
    have to play with computers to be a hacker, but it helps. You have offended
    me, and about half a million faithful slashdot.org readers. Please stop.
