  1. Re:BSD License on What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? · · Score: 1

    So basically the BSD license is more free, as long as someone doesnt use all the benefits of the license (using it in a close sourced product, one of the benefits touted of the BSD license mind you)

  2. Re:BSD License on What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? · · Score: 1

    You mean they use it exactly as the license allows?

    it isnt ripping off if you are not only allowed, but encourage to do just that.

  3. Re:Never got the hang of patching it on What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? · · Score: 1

    If i recall correctly, didnt the openbsd team make replacement for GNUPGP? Honestly i cant remember, but i thought they did. they would be able to sign then using that

    but even if they didnt. Signed binaries, just like the signed source packages. The downfall of openbsd. People trust the source, because a team audited.

  4. Re:keeping people in a job... on Claim of a Blu-ray BD+ Crack · · Score: 1

    "What's far more likely is that the "War on Piracy" is to stop piracy from becoming an accepted part of modern culture"

    I think they should run up the old "mission accomplished" banner on that front.

    They are simply going to have to accept that casual copying IS a part of modern culture

  5. Re:Direct TV on Claim of a Blu-ray BD+ Crack · · Score: 1

    to play devils advocate. they dont care about the hardcore people that will crack it no matter what. but you know a number of people that are casual copiers. they rent crack and copy dvds effortlessly. That is the aim. that and control. but if they can stop the casual copiers. that is what they want.

    you cant sue yourself

  7. Simple solution, credit card on Best Buy Customer Gets Box Full of Bathroom Tiles Instead of Hard Drive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Tell the manager: "Fine I will be calling my credit card company and denying authorization for that charge"

    It is now the stores problem.
    And mastercard can throw its weight around

  8. Re:Typo... on The Best Tech You Can't Get in the US · · Score: 1

    Because intel, IBM, nvidia, amd, etc don't count?

  9. Re:For Sale, but not to YOU! on The Best Tech You Can't Get in the US · · Score: 1

    although I don't disagree entirely, that is a pretty bad blanket statement...
    PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii.

  10. Re:Wait, what? on The Best Tech You Can't Get in the US · · Score: 1

    You send emails to yourself?

  11. Re:Just wonderful on New Password Recovery Technique Uses CPU and GPU Together · · Score: 1

    How many 1s and 0s will actually be checked...
    Remember MSs 8 character passwords :P

  12. Re:Just wonderful on New Password Recovery Technique Uses CPU and GPU Together · · Score: 1

    Your password is nothing but a series of 1s and 0s. Biometric data is still a series of 1s and 0s
    There is nothing magical about biometrics, at the end of the day it is still a regular old password comprised of 1s and 0s

  13. Verdana on Standard Web Fonts 'Updated' In Vista · · Score: 1

    That is what everything is displayed as on my browser. I have it set to ignore all fonts from the site and simply use verdana: sizes 8-12

  14. XP had something similar on Vista Runs Out of Memory While Copying Files · · Score: 1

    I noticed that when you would copy large amounts of files everything would be swapped out to do so. Including the explorer menu. It was rather pathetic to have to wait to get things out of swap for something as trivial as hitting the start button.

  15. Re:But Does the Punishment Fit the Crime? on Porn Spammers Get Five Years Each · · Score: 1

    I misread what you said, it sounded like you meant UCE could be considered ham if it were sent in a proper fashion. I just mena it isnt just the fact that he used hacked systems etc, but in the end, regardless of method, the message and content is still UCE. Although that would result in lower penalties because less laws would be broken.

  16. Re:But Does the Punishment Fit the Crime? on Porn Spammers Get Five Years Each · · Score: 1

    Ham is legitimate email. UCE will never be considered ham.

  17. Re:This article is useless without IP addresses on Profile of the Russian Business Network · · Score: 1

    I did the same thing last night.
    I want to combine that with iptables log analyzer. How should I log that?

    I found a couple of references but it seemed like it was logging everything even though it was not important.

  18. Spamhaus Drop List on Profile of the Russian Business Network · · Score: 1

    I just imported that list to drop all.
    I am going to set up the log analyzer and see how effective it is.

    I still have some issues with getting it to log properly.
    By default everything is accepted, except the drop list.

    and?

    are you implying there is something wrong with re-evaluating circumstances and utilizing other OSS?

    The biggest mistake one can ever make is attempting to make simple statements permanent regardless of how the environment around it changes.

    Are you drunk?

    It would have been impossible to distribute 2 million copies in one day. Her lawyer totally failed if he allowed that to be used as a basis.

  25. I wish slashdot would allow me to post a picture on How Not to Write a Cease-and-Desist Letter · · Score: 1

    It would be that animated gif of the guy beating a dead horse.

    Does anyone have any actual insight into this, yes we get it, you don't need to register copyrights, move along to something relevant.
