Ahh, a cut and run defeat-o-crat...:) Crat nothing, I never said either country was the US.
I prefer to work to throw the bums out and keep my country for me. Heh, good luck with that, let me know how it works out for ya... It's a noble sentiment, but it'll take years as a minimum, and all you'll achieve is replacing them with just as many bums who hold pretty much the same ideals but happened to be funded from slightly different sectors of the economy.
Personally I'd rather not waste my time worrying about the bums at all, and get on with enjoying my wherever and however I see fit. I'll go back for sure, but it'll be when the time and reasons suit me.
Rubbish. They were produced by a company that has a vested commercial interest in security software for Windows. As they stand, they show you can use black lines to make a pretty little spaghetti diagram, and that is all. Real OSS advocates will get nothing out of this as MS shills will counter with this exact argument.
Even simply adding the name of each syscall means someone else can start trying to prove their claims aren't a fabrication.
You missed my point. I read the article. I know what his claims are, but I want verifiable proof. The pictures as they stand are entirely meaningless, except to the gullible.
My thoughts exactly. From TFA:
A picture is worth millions of words Not when it is supposedly a map of system calls and there isn't a single friggin' word anywhere on either of the pictures. In fact, the only way to tell which system is which is by the filename of the image! How can anyone even begin to verify that it is not complete bollocks?
You miss part of the point of laws like this. This adds to the number of crimes they've committed when they're caught after the fact. So on a second conspiracy to rape, for example, they'll add all of the unregistered screen names to the list of crimes, to make sure they go away for that much longer. Fixed it for you. Don't get me wrong, I have very little doubt that these guys deserve to go away for a long time, but how do you know where to draw the line between real threats like this and a dystpoian thought-crime society, the likes of which are speculated about by Slashdot conspiracy theorists and authors like Orwell, Huxley and Bradbury?
This oubviously came to police attention prior to the act. Could they not have simply then set a trap and caught them in the act (of course, before anyone actually got raped)? That would give them even more justifiable reason to lock them up for longer, less wriggle room for legal defense, and would result in a better overall benefit to society IMHO.
Don't equate Americans with the American government.I haven't liked a thing they've done in the last decade or so. Ahhh, but have you actually done anything of any consequence about it? (complaining on Slashdot does not count!) If so, kudos to you sir. If not, then your inaction is implicitly supporting the incumbent administration and as such the least you can expect is to be tarred with the same brush.
Me, I voted with my feet, and moved to another country.
Perhaps you missed my point. I'm aware it's a difficult-if-not-impossible task. I was alluding to truth behind it, in that if it was achieved it would certainly cut down on a huge amount of wasted energy.
I don't imagine there's anything to be done about the company, but I'll wager those scientists who rolled over for cash are going to suffer greatly among their fellow researchers. Yes, but you'd be surprised how much some people are willing to suffer for a large pile of cash.
I'm surprised the editors didn't edit out the employer name, at least. Editors? Editing things? On Slashdot? Man, if I had mod points right now you'd be +5 Funny...
For us gamers, the cool application is clearly fluids in games. Speak for yourself. Personally I've always thought realism has been sadly lacking from hentai moneyshots. C'mon, all of you know it's the truth, even if you won't admit it in public!
I think if someone did this to Disney they would send Mickey to come eat you or something. I can see the cartoon now: Minnie laying on the bed with the speech bubble: "Mickey, come eat me".;-) Well come on then, seed the torrent for the rest of us...
These bloggers who nitpick about Google PageRanks 24/7 strike me as a bunch of whiners, frankly. Amen, brother. Want to boost your PageRank? How about getting some decent f***ing content for a change...
Actually I'd say that's more Insightful than Funny. While I don't need 70% of the functionality on most modern handsets (phonecalls & texts, anything else is a waste) - a decent bloody camera in the same device (IE. a replacement for a decent point-n-click digicam, I'm not talking SLRs here) is something I would consider using.

Aha! You've cracked the case... Keith needs to use the "Sideshow Bob" defence:
"Nobody who speaks German could be an evil man... parole granted!"
Years? I'd start with weeks, and then eventually move to months, before even contemplating years. Otherwise you'll lose count...
I am intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Absolutely! May the South rise again...
You could probably provide a better reference than that...

Whoever modded this Funny... interesting choice. Was that one of those Seinfeld-esque "its funny 'cos its true" moments?
Maybe if Zonk spent a little more time editing and a little less time drinking from Taco's FireHose...
Why not take it one step further, and get your webserver on the Slashdot front page next Bonfire Night?
Surely that would make them "blue movies" then?
This has to be the most successful grammar troll ever. Well done sir, I take my hat off to you!
I've always gone with "Fss-chking" as a pronunciation, as have my co-workers. Still not that easy to say, but you get used to it.
Indeed - the same goes for many professions. How many "starving developers" were there after the tech bubble?
