Final point: The kerberos spec is downloadable by anyone from Microsoft's site. To restrict posting of the document when in fact everyone can download it is to decouple cause and effect from decisions. That's the kind of illogical reasoning the DMCA supports.
Neither should there be rectangular, colored areas of pixels that respond to a mouse press. And god forbid for pictures to be used with text to represent something as if advertisers haven't done that for centuries. Ever see a sign outside a shop? This is about Microsoft constantly claiming innovation ehwre there isn't any. Any more and they'll invent airplanes too.
Linux and Open Source developers are innovative because they're willing to go the long way around a problem to get the whole thing done properly. Unlike Microsoft who creates a half developed Email client without introducing the to proper Email hygiene like Do Not Click on Attachments. You have no idea where they came from. ESPECIALLY If it says ILOVEYOU. And who didn't go the long way to create a SECURE scripting language as opposed to providing any fool full power to your machine.
For those of you who think the ILOVEYOU bug took hundreds of hours of intense work, go to Barnes and Noble and learn a little. Lack of interest is the same reason people get ripped off at auto shops.
There is no way/. should drop this. If you had read the comments accused you'd see MS is covering their ass by censoring discussion. Only a few actually link to the files.
Is it wrong for me to choose not to get local channels but use my dish. The ads were paid for. So I should swallow every one? Heck, I may be depriving the advertisers of services by not showing my friends advertisements at a party. Is PROXYING Wrong? If I can block porn why not ADS? I'm the one who chooses to enable that feature not AOL. You are either a plant or on idiot.
Actually why does slashdot necesarrily have to set up CVS? In fact I'll just buy CVS.cx and set up CVS for slashdot which slashcode can link to. Then I could set up CVS for Windows just in case.
Seriously though, the Internet destroys time and space and gives us links and bandwidth. Why are people still complaining as if you actually had to row an unmarked barge to Christmas Island just to set up a site?
Unix invented automation of text processing that was its original purpose.
Linux doesn't need a registry to do this. A registry key is a string of bytes. Any damn file regardless whether it's a regisrtry, a database, or a config file can contain a string of bytes.
Second, dates/versions same fucking thing. Think first moron.
In fact prior art: the online calendar and reminder systems. Those are automated too. And jesus christ CRON. Microsoft has patented CRON.
Actually the Voices book will go online. I've seen plenty of open sourcers who hate being asked for favors at any odd hour and I think they have every reason to be pissed. Open Source is not Communism. What you are suggesting is communism. Jon Katz can open or close any book he likes asshole.
Open sourcing means opening things when you are able. When someone else directly depends on your work, then you need to open it the moment it's changed.
Finally slashdot will have a comment permissioning option in the future as was already mentioned. It amazes me you can't for one minute accept that the crew did not see anything wrong with printing those comments.
They even went through the trouble of saving your asses from your local redneck parish who might also buy the book as a way to crack down on substantial thought processes.
The Word97 to Word95 converter was broken for several months. I had to use it at school it was ridiculous. You morons see a pretty screen you think the code under the hood is holy.
Oh so a shop has to spend money on a billion packages, AND waste time converting docuiments WHEN they should be WORKING on CUSTOMERS NEEDS?
HE has lost MONEY because of PRPRIETARY formats, has been needlessly DELAYED, and NO IT WWAS NOT HIS fault.
I am seriously tired of the whiners who can't keep up when there is a CLEANER solution.

Whoa. I gave up long posts a long time ago cuz I couldn't decypher them afterwards. No offense, really just had to read that a few times.
In any case... Rand groupies are the sheep. I totally agree with you on not following any sort of group. The problem is you cannot successfully conduct a conversation that goes like: That group of people who want you think for yourself, who are not the group of people who just talk all day about thinking for yourself but aren't that group of people who really think for themeselves.
I needed a reference point.
I think comparing Rand's commie phobia to Mcarthy's is stretching things a bit.
What I mean by Real Randers is: I believe in Free Software and Open Source, however I find that when shit happens all the morons on both sides of the issue at each other's throat while all the Real Randers are either tired of it or drowned out.
I just don't get it. Ayn Rand would fall head over heels for RMS. You Rand groupies give us real Randers a bad name.
Paraphrased - From For the New Intellectual: Watch money. When you begin to see the likes of the Twentieth Century corporation making laws that protect them and do not protect, then it's time to act.
Ever heard of DMCA, UCITA. Both these laws are ridiculosly biased toward the corporates (corporatism is not capitalism... capitalism is not about creating product addicts).
Rand continues: The masters of the Twentieth Century Corporation demanded that people buy peoducts from them. They thought that their tradermark had some magic power that would keep them in power. But people would not be fooled when the engines did not work.
Can you Say Microsft Windows sucks and no one who is concerned about his future buys into their crap.
I've found so far that the value options obtainable in the form of commodities is lacking compared to that of services. I'm much more satisfied by the end result, when I pay someone to do something for me or do it myself than when I exchange that universal medium for something of some pre-determined value. Open-Source gives me the option to get things done MY way, not according to the way suggested by some random poll of random individuals who have no idea about my needs done by a company for some guy who resells it to the another company.
Fucking Xist Open Source does not no revenues. And notice the guy you responded to said: with a bit of work you can find things of value for free. Like scolarships.
The scholarship is a reward for x hours of diligent effort to study. Read the post before mouthing off. You're the kind of fool who gives real Ayn Randers (those not found in your local school's Ayn Rand Club) a bad name.
Incidentally don't bother quoting Rand on me. I can come up with a load of quotes specifically detailing UCITA, DMCA, and WTO/IMF/WorldBank style tactics that we should be prepared against.
When the media blew this out of proportion, schools had to react because parents were concerned. Parents were concerned because they were scared. Geeks got the brunt because it was easy and the schools had to act fast.
Last I checked that was only for educational use, commentary.
Yeah, well I expect to see a lot of commentary in the book about said comments. So guess what it's commentary. What were you thinking? Slashdot for pure hard copy hardcopy purposes? Answer this by the way: What is the difference between posting on slashdot and in a book?
Methinks you've been used as a soft target too many times.
Slashdot Mirror
CLOSE the NSI account. This company is worse than Unysis. To think I have no right to sell a house I've added value to at a higher price WTF?

If I did a shoddy job I'd certainly see it as fair. I also think I should get a $10 check for every patch I have to download for a program.
I think that is very fair.

i for imaginary btw
That is either the funniest post I've read or the worst can't decide.
The mod to zero is based on what?

If ppl would stop suing the last brick in the wall and start watching what the market actually does, they'd make much more money adapting.
I'd like to see someone try to steal the act of programming, or the act of broadcasting.

Given the number of times a post said kill your television it does get back at them quite clearly.
then?
