This is a business in the business of making money, artists are theyre way of making money. So following business logic theyre going to milk as much money from the bands popularity without causeing alarm with the band/fans.
It would be nice to blackhole all addresses in Australia for a day or so to express the net's displeasure at this legislation. And if they read or change data as it merely passes thru Australia, I'd support making it permanent until they stop. It's a clear and present danger to the integrity of the net.
That would work in theory, but I dont believe that the government would give a damn if their citizens werent allowed full access to the net. They are doing it to them anyway. I believe that governments like ours and the Aussies hate the idea of the internet, because they cant control your mind there...that is the game that they are in. Take the net away while increasing legislation, and you switch from democracy to a stalinist communism, or something like that...
There seems to be an implicit assumption that a government is an evenhanded institution that would never abuse power or play favorites. Few real governments are that good, most are made up of people with agendas
Those countries are usually poor countries led by dictators. Here, its not the people in charge, nor the government in its main mass, its the people that are dragged around by big business and lobbyist groups.
Buy about 3 miles of lan cable, or however much you need. Put the adsl modem right next to the CO, then you should enjoy blazing speeds through enough cable to trip godzilla!
I was just about to do that, then i found out im eligble...Yay for me!
I hate the RIAA so much...

I bought a cd and bring it home, slam it in my cdrom to play it through winamp, and it wont play!
I look on the label, it says "enhanced cd", oh really, why is that so good?
what im doing now, if i want a cd, i buy it through a used cd shop. therefore, if i buy a $7.99 cd there, retail its $14.99. put the numbers together...
im probably going to get moderated down for babbling or something, oh well, im going back to my whatever i was doing...
I am a minor, therefore wouldnt spamming me be illegal?
Take for instance, the other day i was sent a spam. This spam wanted me to either buy a product or visit an inappropriate website. That HAS to be illegal.

If it costs 20 dollars for a dvd and 30 for a dvd disc, do that math...
Who here really thinks that they can stop someone. Convincing someone that I am 18 on the net is about as easy as breathing.
i think i will just go get it now...*thumbs nose @ corel*--if it werent for my winmodem...
Though they sift through our lives, they do keep the country safe, i know i dont want terrorists in here.
Encryption is now limited to rot13 so theres no need for key escrow. Of course all governmental encryption will be increased to tripleDES!
If I have data needing protection, i RAR it with a password, then put it on cd and hide the cd.
100 years from now computers will be twice as powerful, 10000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of europe will own them.

Unless he wanted to go to jail...
Who in their right mind would try to do that? Isnt it basically akin to walking up and spray painting the white house?
I know what would be worse than jail for this guy, make him watch some "educational" videos on how hacking is "bad".
Or let Clinton boot him like the aussies tried to do on the simpsons...
Thats what it should do...Crack code.
Unless...
It has a spot for a voodoo3 in it...i smell quake...or is that burning silicon?
Quake 3 is *not* buggy.
This is a true statement. I was playing it at a lan party a few days ago, and it played nice, very very nice.
I cant wait to get my tin box.
One thing that I have noticed:
/. stays up along with my net connection...I'll be fine.
Individuals (most) can be intelligent,
Whereas:
A group of people is about as panicky as a herd of bison.

I am going to patent patents!!!
Ill be richer than cmdrtaco i tell you!

I'd rather have the nsa snooping than every company on earth listening in on me...
(i'd rather not have anyone snooping though)
Excellent, maybe now i can get a few problem spammers off my back and into the clink...where they belong!
I think that he has a point truthfully...
Anyone remember spaceballs?
I tell you, qwerty or 12345 would not be the first ones i would try to break a password with. Maybe I'm just rambling but oh well...
