  1. Re:I thought Europe had better protections on VirtualDub Author Stymied by Trademark Troll · · Score: 1

    Even in Europe, there are sleezy lawyers. Most people are just insecure about the legal state of IP, TM, ... Hence, they often choose to pay (if the price is moderate) just to stop being hassled. I guess that is the consequence of having such complicated laws!

  2. Re:The big problem on ISPs to Create Database to Combat Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Imagine someone (Government, Yahoo, Micro$oft,...) crawling through data fingerprint archives -- lets see where this document originated... ah, there`s the author! Don`t think that images only will be affected, for, surely, these evil CP viewers will start to change filename extensions, so lets just check them all!!! Creepy!

  3. Re:What choice do they have on Microsoft's New Linux-Based Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    just try to imagine the required hardware specs :)

  4. Re:What was worth dying for? (with linebreaks) on Shuttle to Launch Despite Objections · · Score: 1

    What do *you* expect to die for? Imagine getting killed in a car accident while driving to work. Does that make you a devouted worker? Will anyone say "He died for his work"? In case you answered yes to any of these questions, quit your job right now for it is dangerous!

  5. Re:Sounds good... on Python-to-C++ Compiler · · Score: 1
    If there are no pointers or structs in the Python code, why would they have to handle them?
    whenever you pass a object to a method, you actualy pass a pointer who references this object(struct). Python just helps you not to think (too much) about it :)
  6. Re:Character names on Captain Copyright Targets Kids · · Score: 1

    Sure, the bad guys are Haskell, Python-man and Mono-framer, leaves the good guys to be the C-sharper,VB-boy and WINner-man! But seriously, CC targets students copying books, offering them to buy books at a bookstore he owns! I dont think you can get much dirtier than that, without becoming too graphic! When voting on how the story should continue, you get to send an email containing your vote!!! This website gives me the creeps, thinking of how the actually target children with their corporate-nazi propaganda

  7. Re:Law is about PREEMPTING vigilantism. on Blue Security Gives up the Fight · · Score: 1
    [Unfortunately, the organized spam/malware gangs are a pack of predators that are starting to decimate the flock.]
    I hate spam! I recieved 20 mails overnight (18 spam)! I hate spam! Still this does not make me hate spammers, nor do I think 20+ years for spammers make sense. The infrastructure of the internet allows them to work this way, and if we, the rest of the world, depend on the net, we have to accept its rules. Instead of ranting, stigmatizing and crucifying spammers, we should rethink our mail system, and kick some IETF butt until they give us a decent mail authentication system!
  8. CLI in arabic? on Ask About Life, Blogging and Linux in the Middle East · · Score: 1

    How do you mix Arabic commandline arguments with English commands on one keyboard?

  9. Re:A good thing on 11-Nation Raid on Net Pirates · · Score: 1

    I am actually trying to have a somewhat utopian view of the the world. Money is actually nothing more than a substitute for energy. you pay for resources and human labor. Making profit IS ESSENTIAL for a human being - even you have to make a profit in order to balance your energy consumption. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who consume tremendous quantities of energy without giving anything back to the society they took it from; these people, although legally not in wrong, actually do harm to the rest of us who work our asses off to enable them a carefree living. I can see some comfort in the fact that these people actually wont need your service anymore, giving your job to a poor indian who will deliver them the same amount of energy (labor) for just a small part of energy (money) they would have recontributed to you thus you wont be able have enough energy (money) to contribute to your ISP, thus I wint have to invest any more energy (labor) in reading your posts. If you really think that predatoreus capitalism is the solution for the 21st century, you will have a hard time to prove yourself worthy of being one of the predators - or do you want me to think you want to be prey??

  10. Re:A good thing on 11-Nation Raid on Net Pirates · · Score: 1

    "which in turn lead to the heavy handed **AA policies" I dont think that having a legal right to do something also gives you a moral right! Dont forget that **AA members have ONE sole purpose of existance : Making money for their shareholders (thats right, the guys sitting on their fat asses and doing nothing!) Since revenues are free-falling due to a lack of good movies (*cough* Disney *cough*), they have to pass the blame on others - guess who!

  11. Re:They can't even handle 10mbit/1mbit on 50Mbps Cable Launched on Long Island · · Score: 1

    May you be slashdotted....amen!
