I know one pro-DRM technically literate person. In fact, he's also pro-MS, pro-Windows, pro-.NET (yes, he is a programmer), etc. He's going to the same uni as me (a pro-ISO-C, pro-Linux, pro-OSS and very anti-DRM). Apart from those differences we get along OK (the Linux vs. Windows arguments are fun).
I don't quite understand his reasoning. He's not much of a music fan but I still think he believes everything RIAA/BPI says about piracy...
All those 'pro-' suffixes are making my head hurt.
If you go direct to the IP address, your browser won't send the Host header. If you connect to openlinux.org, your browser will send "Host: openlinux.org". It's used by shared hosting servers so many domains can point to the same IP and serve different pages depending on the host. "FSI INF," I guess, is the content of another website on the same server?
Neither of them argued their points very clearly or sensibly. Comparing music to clothes is stupid, as is comparing file-sharers to terrorists! Just who's side was that EFF guy on?

The next Slashdot story will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush and see it early!
looks hideous. Black font on dark grey background? What's that about? (Other than that, the new design pwns.)
Slashdot Mirror
TFA doesn't say whether it's optical or mechanical or wireless or wired.
Are you sure? AFAIK it's only P2P traffic they block.
Interesting to see another Cambridge Uni person on slashdot...
You made a mistake... It's £131.50 or about $250. It's a right pain in the ass for students.
Fortunately there is one workaround if your TV is powered by internal batteries like mine.

8 Profit!
What qualifications will I need?
Maybe if you ask him nicely...
That was about the only useful information I got FTA.
Now off to go and steal some artworks...
Results of the postmortem: student died of an overdose of weed, coca cola and essays.
Did anyone else see "Share" "Enjoy" "Paste" flash on for a single frame each during part one?
Fixed in CVS.
Digging up buried treasure, eh? Beware, AOL, the *AA might sue you for piracy.
Microsoft has principles now?

But what would it mean for slashdot if males were no longer required for the survival of the human race?
OK, I also dreamt there was no airlock, and that I found my cat on board...
Anyway, I agree with you, and also tip my hat to the brave gentlemen.
Gravity?
... you infect a guest OS in a VM with blue pill?
... welcome global warming. It's bloody freezing here in the UK.
... have a big yellow smiley face with glasses?

Do you think AOL would sue Google for using their logo?
Free as in beer, at least until the alcohol industry starts suing everyone.
Imagine the hangover you'd get after that!
Duke Nukem Forever?
Oh wait, nevermind...
