Does anyone want to enlighten me as to how a 15 line P2P app means that it is pointless and silly to ban them? TPTB are not going to care if you hack together a little P2P app that you and your buddies use. However, if that little app becomes as popular as Kazaa or BitTorrent, you can bet they will be gunning for your program; they won't care if it is 15 lines or 150000 lines.
Come on, you know these guys are using Scotty's unwritten rule:
Scott: "Do you mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children.
They want everything right now, and they want it their way. But the secret is
to give only what they need, not what they want!"
LaForge: "Yeah, well I told the captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour."
Scott: "How long would it really take?"
LaForge: "An hour!"
Scott: "Oh, you didn't tell him how long it would *really* take, did you?"
LaForge: "Well of course I did."
Scott: "Oh, laddie, you've got a lot to learn if you want people to think of you
as a miracle worker!"

You all want pictures, well here you go. I don't have any of my high school yearbooks, but I did manage to find my 8th grade yearbook. You will find a picture of young Mr. Ellsworth at the following link:
LaCreole Middle School, Dallas, Oregon, 1989 (Sorry about the editorial comments on the other pictures, that was my sister's doing and that's why I don't have any of my HS yearbooks any more)
I'm not trying to embarass anyone, but Slashdot demands proof, so there you go. As far as I'm concerned that does not diminish Jeri's accomplishments one bit. It should however, give all of you guys making comments like the upskirt stuff something to think about. Oh, and Mal, I expect you to apologize.
Yes, this is my first post on Slashdot. So fucking what? I have been reading for years, but chose not to post because I don't care for the politics of the majority of the posters here. I gave you my call sign (NT7S), look in the FCC database. Don't believe me if you don't want to. I don't have an axe to grind with anyone, but I wanted to set the record straight. The parent post was not bullshit and the poster was not trying to smear Jeri.
No, I think the parent is correct. I read the story and was shocked because Jeri is the same age as I am and went to Dallas High, the same school that I did.
Dallas is a small town, but I could not remember Jeri; which I should because I would have remembered a female geek of such cailber in the same class as me.:) The last name sounded familiar, and when I read the parent's post I knew he was correct. I remember JJ as a big C64 fan and very talented with electronics. I haven't lateley had much contact with anyone I went to high school with, so I had no idea he had a sex change.
So basically, I really think you are wrong about this being libel. If you doubt me, check my slashdot username in the FCC database. I'm a ham and I was first licensed while in high school in Dallas, OR.
