  1. Computers are not expensive typewriters on Interview with DeCSS Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Code can't run itself anymore than a shopping list can do the buying for you.

    God I wish I had penny for every time somebody said there is no reason computers cannot be easy to use.

    You can hook icons into a script or use a vague query and have the parser build long scripts for you. Am I the only one who's tired of this witchcraft propaganda? It ain't all that hard.

    Administrative costs. Arer fucking kidding me?
    There was no administrative cost. There has been no trial yet. God people love the air of a story but can't bother to read it.

    Yeah... right. :)

  7. Re:What's Good for [bullshit] on French Court To Yahoo!: Dump Nazi-Related Auctions · · Score: 1

    WAVE america anyone?...

    The fact is Fascism is something were all born with. It's the simplest social model we have when we're born. The problem is people are convinced not by what ppl say but the fact that they can articulate (not to be confused with speech but oratorical skill) such infantile ideas.

    Read Mein Kampf he sounds like god damned cartoon character or worse something off a daytime soap opera. "...and if the conquered land shall not be enough to contain the German blood, then the tears of war shall flow." What an idiot.

    The key is to put these things in the light not let them rot in the underground. Why do you think they say always travel in crowds? Because if you might be mugged ppl can hear you scream.

  8. If you can't talk about Nazism how do you on French Court To Yahoo!: Dump Nazi-Related Auctions · · Score: 1

    recognize it. Sorry asshole, but you're taking the easy way out. Over here Nazis cry out for changes and they get horror in response. Over there Nazis cry out silently, and they get revolution in response. Get a fucking grip.

    Prohibition is for child psychology rejects.

    Figure it out.

  9. Yikes on Slashback: cubans, crises, code-dependency · · Score: 1

    Is that all you've to say? People just trying to get by?

    Dude do you know why Africa is poor? Because instead of a stable gov't they have a bunch of fools warring over the diamond mine.

    That get by crap doesn't fly. There's a thing called an economy maybe you've heard of it. There's ways to go about getting into that kind of thing. Ever heard of libraries? What's happening in Cuba isn't isolated. Cuba is a country not a desert.

    There's a saying: Don't believe it's just case of others suffering. (Pink Floyd)

  10. Fair use on Slashback: cubans, crises, code-dependency · · Score: 1

    Fair Use says anything that brings something new into existence is fair use. Do I have to pay the New York Times to demonstrate how to discipline a dog?

    Do I have to pay them to teach someone how to read? Or to videotape someone teaching someone to read using the New York Times?

    Sorry I don't buy it.

  11. Pulitzer my ass, just shallow cliched publicity op on Slashback: cubans, crises, code-dependency · · Score: 1

    C'mon. That was like a no brainer. Any low life artless schmuck could have taken that picture on such an abused topic. By the way should Lostbrain sue your ass?

    As an artist myself I don't give a damn for the material hard copy unless I have a use for it. I'm not interested in the material value of the item but the practical value. Not what it's worth to some fool, but what I can do with it. If I have something important to get done I'm not going to waste my time followqing every useless brick in the wall so called breach.

    That photo deserves to be trashed every anniversity.

  12. Witness my w00t hard partitioning techniques on IBM Cranks OS/2 Curtain, Compaq Revives OpenVMS · · Score: 1

    Gah when will news sites learn. Computers are not hard Barbie, not even difficukt. Spelling is diffficcult howevver.

  13. Microsoft didn't write the spec on Our Attorney's Response To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    They just added some poisoned cherries and they don't want anyone to know about it.

  14. I'm a GPLer I was looking for clarification on Our Attorney's Response To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Sorry about the confusion.

  15. Code is BSD can be closed, spec is a separate deal on Our Attorney's Response To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Unlike a parody where the changes are clearly connected to the purpose of parodying, similarly in sampling (remember that debate)?, extensions to previously copyrighted works cannot be copyrighted without the original party's permission.

    The BSD license is kind of weird on this: The extensions are both to the specs and the code. I think the specs must remain open since it isn't under Microsoft's copyright, but the exact code that makes up Kerberos can stay hidden.

  16. Only 1 of 11 users are questionable in this case on Our Attorney's Response To Microsoft · · Score: 2

    The rest were simply discussing the topic.

    Read the posts again.

  17. Microsoft is off by 1000% on Our Attorney's Response To Microsoft · · Score: 1

    1 out of those 11 posts were "infringing"

    The rest was pure discussion, regardless of the topic (not content... don't confuse the two). If you want to call that discussion copyright to MS then place disclaimers and legal notices on evey street corner.

    But the WORST of it is:
    HOW can a document that is world readable have a requirement NOT to share? It's shared to the world but you can't map the drive? What is this a final exam on Kerberos?

    The questions above are valid because any sort of restrrictive notice MUST be guided by reason. They cannot dissociate their actions from cause and effect. Either you play in the real world or not at all.

  18. NetPD is unnecessary on Metallica Remains Silent · · Score: 1

    Something Lars said on Charlie Rose when he and Chuck D were on his show:

    "Napster allows perfect digital copies of our works. I don't care about tapes or personal recordings there's a generation loss in quality. Napsters copies are exactly like the CDs we sell."

    Two things: 1. False. MP3 quality varies wildly.
    2. If an MP3 is the same as the CD in his opinion then wouldn't that mean MP3.com is in the right in playing MP3s of CDs already bought.

    But what freaks me out is: Why in the world would they not just create a filter list on napster? NetPD is superflous and unnecessary.

  19. I have Gooyear's blueprints I ownz j0ur tires on The Slashdot DDoS: What Happened? · · Score: 1

    I don't need a layout of /.'s systems to bring them down. You've been playing Metal Gear and watching The Real McCoy too many times.

    I need the layout to FIX it. Fixing and breaking are not just opposite enterprises, they're completely different. The fix = -break idea is flawed in much the same way bad = -ungood.

    Think for a second. If a network layout would be useful to breakins, then every site defacement would have to have been accompanied by a physical breakin. While it's true some are inside jobs, the analogies borrowed from the physical world are plain wrong.

  20. Delayed release virus as spam on H.R. 3113: Spam Bounty Hunters Wanted · · Score: 1

    Suppose some shit decides to program a little beastie that spreads and randomly edits headers using info from other mail you've received. Then on an irregular basis send five copies of said emails. But as long as we can count on Geneva 8 to sodomize us in otherwise that's no biggie.

  21. Beg to differ on H.R. 3113: Spam Bounty Hunters Wanted · · Score: 1

    1. That damn anonymininity thing. I know several people who keep ahead of the ad bombers by skewing surveys, separate identities, and just plain good internet sense (the alter ego of netiquette). I totally disagree on that point.

    2. Knee-jerk easy trade laws
    That's why a micrograin of marijuana gets your financial aid taken away. The darker side is that I think regardless of spam and wasted resources people overreact to spam to the point that it embarrasses me.

    3. Cracker jack box prize
    The anonymity that allows one to protect oneself preemptively against this kind of harrassment. (Yes, spam sucks. No, it is not a capital offense.)
