  1. Nope on 130 Filesharer Homes Raided in Germany · · Score: 1

    This series of raids is the outcome of a joint operation of several different nations. 60'000 people were caught sharing illegally in a period of 2 months. 3500 of those were germans. 130 of those were heavy users and got raided.

  2. Re:Such a blatant attack on freedom. on Wired Releases Full Text of AT&T NSA Document · · Score: 1

    They did not tap ALL phone lines and did not collect data about EVERY connection EVERY citizen made.

  3. Re:What? on Wallace's Second Anti-GPL Suit Loses · · Score: 1

    I don't think any of the Kernel-Developers see Linux as a Windows-Killer. Better suited for them? Hell yes ! Better suited for the unwashed masses ? Don't think so

  4. Re:Who is Wallace and why did he sue? on Wallace's Second Anti-GPL Suit Loses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Source for this one, please ? I'm in the Fellowship of the Free Software Foundation Europe; i can't believe the FSF set something up.

  7. Downtime can be avoided on Ballmer Justifies 360's Costs · · Score: 1

    There are several companies who show it. Take Guildwars for example. They sometimes have 3 different Versions of the Client&Servers online. The whole downtime for the first year was NINE HOURS.

  8. Yeah, but Nintendo actually made money on Ballmer Justifies 360's Costs · · Score: 1

    Even though Nintendo does not dominate the market for consoles (handheld-consoles are another playingfield) the way Sony & MS do, Nintendo makes the most money/customer.

  9. It was covered to death on Sanitizing Expression In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    I really don't get it. I allways thought that the small attention-span americans claim to have was exagerrated. And now a topic which has been discussed over and over again (News that someone founded a GLBT-friendly guild, news that Blizzard banned them, news that the GLBT-friendly ex-guild was pprotesting, news that blizzard unbanned the GLBT-freindly guild and trained their gamemasters better) (not counting the dupes of these posts).

    see it for yourself :Old Stories
    That was just a search for GLBT, i'm sure you can find all the other stories with some other keyword.

    The last story dealing with this incident was posted March 6th, IT IS EVEN LINKED TO IN THE RELATED STORIES UNDERNEATH THIS POST. (Link for the people too lazy to scroll up

    Honestly, what is wrong with you ? My little brother has got a better attention-span, and he's five years old....
  10. How did this thing modded insightfull ?! on Bruce Perens on UserLinux and Ubuntu · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hopefully, someone meta-moderates the persons responsible for it.

  11. I sure hope so on Teens Losing Interest In Gaming? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The original gamer-generation (NES and the like) can finally get back to quality-gaming with intelligent people instead of listening to 12-year-olds whining to their mum on teamspeak.

  12. Bullshit on Return of the Web Mob · · Score: 2, Informative

    You see the attacks from such countries because it is damn convenient to proxy the traffic through those countries. Every good cracker in The US or Europe does that to have a layer of security between himself and the authorities.

    I don't know where you get the impression that noone will get the real name behind the ip. It's done this way: 1. Content Industry files a complaint against unknwon person with IP 127.0.0.1 2. attorney writes a letter to ISP 3. ISP gives name to attorney 4. attorney closes the case because of unimportance 5. Content industry reads the record of the case, gets the name & adress 6. content industry writes dissuasion & bill to name&adress

    thanks for posting that, Slashcode ate the tag.

  17. having developed extensions for FF... on Mozilla Firefox 2.0 Alpha Peeking Out (Or Not) · · Score: 5, Informative

    .. i can tell you that there is one thing that "breaks" most extensions: In the extension, you can specify a maximum version number under which the extension works. Normally, the extension developer sets it to a version he has personally tested (the actual release). Whit each version-bump, he retests and changes just the maximum version-number. If you want to do it yourself: get into the manifesto of the extension and search for this String "1.5" and replace 1.5 with a higher number.
