mod parent up. people need to realize that Investigating a situation to determine if a crime was commited is not the same thing as busting bown someones door for not using Internet explorer.
Banning P2P to prevent piracy is like banning grain and potatoes to prevent moonshine liquor.
I tried to ignore that but I failed.
Banning p2p to prevent piracy is like banning tractor-trailers and deisel fuel to prevent moonshine liquor.
IANAL
Not exactly,when you buy software you are buying a license to use it, but you are still (usually) getting the cd it is distributed on. same with a book. You may be buying the book, but you are purchasing the right to possess a copy of the author's work, distributed on paper. the paper itself is yours. the words on the paper are the copyright holders. you've essentially paid for a user license. anyone can read the Whitewolf books, subject to copyright law, without paying their crummy fee. If however, you want to perform a derivitive work, you have to buy a license.
I don't think anyone here cares about this project. Sad thing considering that I starting reading slashdot years ago just to see "what Linux runs on now." I kept waiting for the potato and the nine volt battery linux hack... did I miss it?
now wait a minute. I too work for HP, in the Industry Standard Servers devision, as backline support. I live and work in Atlanta, and my English is native. I have counterparts in Loveland Colorado. our frontline techs are a little script heavy, but they also are native english speakers. there was a test segment that was moved to India briefly, but has since been brought back the the western hemisphere, Canada to be a bit more specific.
If you don't believe me, I'm at ALF site, mailstop y28, and phone extension 31475.
I was playing with http://www.gizoogle.com/ and subjected this discussion to it's translation engine. this is what it did to your post:
This homey can hear me. Ergo, here's W-H-to-tha-izzat I hizzle ta say:
You're dead wrong. You're so wrong it's amaz'n. In trippin' comparizzles between unions, large corporizzle n movements, you is being mizzle tizzy mildly unwise, n mak'n yoself look like, in so mizzle ways, someone who is both paid ta K-N-to-tha-izzow W-H-to-tha-izzat he's rapping `bout, n completely unaware of what he is rapping `bout. Yo article is more of a 'run away from Linux' pile of blunt-rollin' bison-dung thizzan almost dippin' else I have read in years fo' sheezy. The particizzles incident you is mention'n was a case of invasion of privacy. Wizzle Microsoft's minions ta have they privacy invaded - or, God Forbid, tha Great Bizzay have His Privacy Infringed Upon - tizzle would be shot, stabbed, sued, n thizzay they family would have had ta eat tha body fo` lack of charity frizzom all tha scared peons around tizzy. Whoeva paid you ta find some way ta portray negatively tha Linux community n Open Source Movement certainly gots whiznat they paid for cuz its a doggy dog world.
Secondly, ta tha difference between movements, unions, n corporizzles . Listen to how a motherfucker flow shit: Corporizzles is pimp profit, n only profit. Corporizzles is bereft of certain interpizzle skills, not being thugz n all. They're treated like thugz coz of - essentially - historizzle need that is in some ways outdated n some ways still around. Unions is bands of brotha attempt'n ta equal tha gang bangin' field any way they C-to-tha-izzan, n live betta lives by negotiat'n as a group. Movements have a call'n. Movements want ta makes weed-smokin' cracka fo` everyone involved by chang'n tha very play'n field . Real niggas recognize the realness.. Where unions attempt ta negotiate as a whole, movements simply happen. Tizzle happen fo` completely different reasons from unions or corporizzles . Chill as I take you on a trip. In tha case of tha Open Source Movement, it has happened not fo` profit, but fo` efficiency. The Open Source Movement has happened in response ta copyright law mak'n tha professions of so many intelligent thugz frustratingly inefficient in a closed, corporizzles trade-sizzle based environment . Fo'-fo' desert eagle to your motherfuckin' dome. In response ta they frustration, due ta smizzart thugz not doing tha same thing twice, n really smizzay thugz not saggin' ta do tha same thing anyone else has dizzle ever before, 'nerds' have started ta share. In tha name of efficiency, not accumulated negotizzles n shit. If you look at tha thugz behind open source, you look at tha thugz who pizzy it forward tha mizzay they're tha ones who benefit through being able ta USE it as M-to-tha-izzuch as anyone else. The sponsors n creators is work'n in tha name of efficiency, that thing captialism is supposed ta drive tha hardest. And many of thizzem have managed ta makes huge amounts of money along tha way. Not B-to-tha-izzill Style Money, whizzay is apparently all you're paid ta respect, but money that they're spendin' ta put bizzle into tha community that helped tizzy git where they ended up.
As far as I'm concerned, Slashdot doesn't need thugz like you peep'n in. You D-to-tha-izzon't git it paper'd up. I'd love ta say this wit a lowa user ID, but this is all I've got, n I say you're fifteen years olda tizzle me n not as perceptive `bout what you're rapping `bout, despite being paid.
Wow, That link was pathetic. Of that entire laundry list the only thing I saw that looked damaging was the part about him being the chairman of a pest control company. There is nothing of substance at all. I also, want to say that I am not familiar with mikehersh's website, but from reading the fine print at the bottum, it looks like anyone with something to gripe about can gripe on that site. that article was written by Jackson Thoreau about Jackson Thoreau. He is nothing more than a blowhard.
I've heard about cell phones that have a base station that plugs into your home phone line to give you access to both when at home... do those do the trick?
any idea about how this site affects users that go through a proxy server? I ahve that page loaded in a different tab, but I am concerned that all I am doing is pounding the proxy server at my work.

He didn't work for Cisco, he worked for Internet Security Systems. The FBI does not investigate charges of contract breach. They are civil matters.
Don't forget "Land of the Lost"
I would complain. I don't want to have 4 bloated browsers installed on my machine's default configuration.
Wait a minute! King's Quest II had an ad for spacequest in it that was full motion video.
Could someone explain the term custmomizer?

The linux support group sits about 20 to 30 meters from where I sit. I am not in India/Pakistan/Kyrgstan/wherever, but in Georgia. USA.

and just because someone is often a troll does not mean that they are always trolling. I am not a script.
