  1. Re:Not True! on Online Revenge · · Score: 1
    What, you think the impaling is a private affair? How are people to fear the consequences if you don't make a public show out of them? I imagine Vlad and Bruce were both well aware of that.

    The only problem with vigilante lynching is that it encompasses bullshit like this as well.

    surely to God the Met have better things to do in 2006 than investigate trivial [whatever this happens to be]
    They pounce on pretty much every high profile incident of any kind. The police are attention whores. Until they press charges, the only guy who needs to worry about them is the dickhead who posted the stuff, who by the way has a lot of potential charges facing him, one of which nobody has mentioned so far: blackmail

    He should have gone through the proper channels, but then hindsight is 20/20, especially when it's not about you.

    Actually I was joking because I was bored, and to my knowledge blockquote renders in konqueror just the same as in any other browser.

    I know you're trying you damnedest to sounds smart, but my question does actually stem from past events.

    And when will it catch up numerically to Apple, which is already at 10.4.6?
    Is there any reason for this being significant? Or are they being very, very, very stupid?
  7. Re:Who Controls the Internet? on Who Controls the Internet? · · Score: 1
    A few years back when I was a kid with a livejournal, I used to make a web prescence out of writing bizarre little poems about random shit. One of those was about the internet. It went something like this:
    The internet is a big web
    The spider who lives in it is called Jeff
    Jeff looks after the internet
    Fixes the broken links
    Watches over the chat rooms
    I like the internet
    Jeff is my friend
    I'm sure Hemos will be flattered.

    create them for themselves
    Damn right. People create their own little drills on the fly all the time. I know I certainly do. In fact it's almost all I do. I didn't even realise it until I read your post, either.

    It's incredibly easy to forget about all those hundreds of cack handed standing shots from underneath the basket (or whatever), and assume that all the growth came from the fun stuff. Probably because the magic moments only occur once you've managed to drop the rote memorisation, so you natually make the link between the two things.

    With this in mind, the main original post about skating might have worked better if instead of 'chase a ball', he'd said 'walk'. Seems more analagous to echo "Hello world!"; now.

    Door number 1 for me, parrotting someone else's (the Slashdot collective's) opinion. Welcome to Slashdot. There are no new ideas here, just old ones in new and mysterious HTML presentation.

    And if this all turns out to have been 'backed' or 'spearheaded' by the RIAA/MPAA (which I am assuming it is), it'd better be illegal.

  11. LOL INTERNET on ThePirateBay.org Raided and Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Have I strayed onto your preciously guarded intellectual stomping ground of Swedish Law of Fair Retaliation? I don't see how my post implies that I'm claiming to know anything about Sweden. I'm just saying that "react in any way I like" is limited by the law, and that these events don't sound like normal law enforcement to me.

    1. You can react any way you like within the law. Breaking a country's laws and ordering illegal arrests is not fair retaliation.
    2. Too many people are concentrating on the entertaining letters as if they had a single fucking thing to do with any of this. They don't.

    Ah yes, it's the cocky taunting you've got to avoid! Those RIAA and MPAA lawyers really get ticked off at that. You push them too far with your sarcastic ridicule and they'll really get serious about things.

    That's the easy part. Watch:
    No matter what you pro-Windows trolls say, open source has shown itself time and time again to provide more security. And screw your whining about the lack of a Next->Next->Next->Finish install system. Most of us have all our software management done under one simple GUI app by now, and Macs are even further ahead than us. The sad truth of most of you people is that you tried Linux, missed Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player, and now you externalise your frustration onto the rest of us.
    Later, rinse repeat. Moderation is broken and the karma system is meaningless.

    Of your three quotes in the journal, this is the only one that looks FUDdy to me.
    software is so complex that serious source code manipulation and maintenance is a high-cost endeavor, not a job one can plunge right into.
    But the way you sequentially run through first the Fear, then the Uncertainty and the Doubt is quite convincing, so I more or less abandon my position anyway.

    I was attempting to implement the Speare doctrine of learning, whereby Mr. Onebadmutha would learn by solving *his* problems. This was to be accomplished by providing a handy link to his company website, thus providing him with the vital practice he is so clearly begging us for, and would already be receiving had Cliff not blatantly cut his link from the summary. For shame.
