  5. New Slashdot Prior-Art system (SPAS) on Apple Patent Claim Threatens To Block Or Delay W3C · · Score: 1

    This is a good peer review of the patent.

    I just read it, and it looks like stuff engineers have been doing way before 1998 (granted date).

    I would imagine one or more slashdot readers will/could file prior-art to this via an old log book.

    Thanks slashdot...

    If I have something of value I protect it.

    DVD's and CD's are a public nuisance, like a swimming pool without a fence around it. Get rid of both.

    Embed a serial number in the DVD in random places. Make it hard to pirate. Prosecute individuals who do, not sites.

    This is like prohibition. It didn't work. Don't allow new taxes, new limitations, new throttling under any disguise and this is a disguise.

    Two things I want to see,
    1) a paypal donate site for retired actors/writers. When I pirate, I will donate to that!
    2) a site exactly like TPB that allows tipping. Who gets the money, I don't give a hoot, but it will clear my conscience.

    CHAO!

    cant the kid just click on Network, navigate to IPproperties, DNS, then just take out your openDNS DNS and instead use default? Once they see that procedure, won't they be able to duplicate it?

Related: I ride Megabus and I use my own bellsouth-DNS instead of their openDNS. Works sometimes, but not always. Perhaps they are getting wiser??

  16. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 1

    yes. Pretty much everywhere.
    A decade ago, the state of California enacted the Swimming Pool Safety Act, which required any new swimming pools to have at least one approved safety barrier, such as a fence, a cover or an alarm on any door leading directly to the pool. It was amended in 2006 to allow pool alarms and removable mesh fencing as safety barrier options, and suction outlets were required to have anti-entrapment covers. It affected all swimming pools and spas that needed permits to be built or remodeled after Jan. 1, 2007.

    Q: would you agree that to get that "spread around" data, you must go to TPB and CLICK on download?

    I would gladly pay $1 at that CLICK moment.

    Who it goes to, I dont care. Charity, TPB, Hollywood.
    It would clear my conscience.
    It does have value and Hollywood is missing capitalizing that value.
    Some entrepreneur should get paid for that value, charity, TPB, Hollywood.

    But like I said before, DVD's should have manditory FENCES like swimming pools.
    Without that safeguard, screw hollywood for creating a public nuisance!

    Filesharing hurts the middle men only period.
    Blockbuster, Netflix, Redbox.

    Filesharing is like a swimming pool in your backyard.
    Even though its yours, law requires a fence around it.
    DVDs are a public nuisance, too easy to share, like a non-fenced pool.

    The law should FORCE a fence on DVD's. Make them encrypt or something.

    Please....
