I don't really care, yanno? If they say "3 MB/s!!!!" then as far as I care, blocking anything form having that is nothing other then false advertising. If they don't want you to use your full advertised speed, then they need to stop saying they are providing it.
Seriously, I've known Apple fanboys to be zealous to the point of failed logic, but I've never known a mac user to be outright stupid (lookin' at you, AOL).
If you want to, I got an email of one right here... but don't say I didn't warn you...
Forget antiaircraft guns, bows are much cheaper to build and use then guns. Why not give all military bows? Things like automatic fire, more power and ease of use don't matter... bows still work just fine!
So long as they remain GNU (and don't pull any red-hats), the risk is minor. One linux company/group would fix a lot, and it doesn't really close it, just makes it more standardized. Think a linux with all the same support for apps, drivers and such.
Oppression is bad only if you dislike what it stands for, I guess. I fail to see how asking people to use free software does anything negative. Except cost M$ some money. Look on the bright side, most of them were probably pirated copies.... less piracy by few users!
I agree as far as the "American left", but they hardly speak for the real left. Stoned tree huggers will never be anywhere in MY left (note it's not the "stoned" or "tree hugger" part, or even both as one that's bad... until they start to think they need to act on behalf of the amoral world...). A rule of tumb, if people want to force their "morals" on you, they are right (wing), ignoring what they say they are. The more of them they want to force on you, the more right they are...
If I break into your house. Discover you are raping someone (other than your realdoll), and call the cops, does this mean you should not be busted, tried and convicted?
It's more like you breaking in, raping me, then saying I raped you, and me going to jail.
If that's not the legal position NOW, it needs to be. Something being something now doesn't mean it should be that way. So in the end, it doesn't matter if "99.8% of slashdot doesn't either", because it doesn't matter if it's OK by law or not, it's not logically or morally right.
Anything a hacker can see he can add. How do we know these people really had anything illegal, BEFORE they were hacked? Is a hacked person's computer really considerable evidence? From what I have seen elsewhere, it seems the consensus is no.
And would you approve the FBI using the exact same methods themselves? What's stopping them from sending people to the Congo to do this outside American laws? How do we know this ISN'T the case???
To hack anyone as long as you say you are hacking to catch "pedophiles"? Sounds more like the FBI trying to side-step normal limitations of spying on people.

Sorry, slow news calls for bad jokes.
1. Hacked apps, or apps made to ignore the bit flag.
2. Hacked isos that don't have the bit flag
3. If #2 is enforced by CD checks, then crack them.
And back to step one, only without the legal ability to burn CDs as you wish.

Hinduism, duh. What other religion has a dancing elephant, a cowboy and a half-naked hunter as gods?
Too bad we can't rate descriptions as flamebate... :(

Didn't they say if a cure for cancer was found via animal testing that it would be immoral to use it?
They just have less jail space. When they run out.... well, lets just say you only have a few days left in your stay!
*Remebers that forum troll image*
Hey, I already have! And just for fun, I am going to again, right now!
(If you don't know what I am talking about, move on)
These people are HARDLY "far left", there is a reason we have the word "Eco Nazi". The real left is calling these people assholes right now.

Gah, where is internet explorer you when need it?!!!???
How many times does this need to happen before the TotC right-wing gets the idea? It doesn't seem to be working, maybe they missed the memo?
How can you push open ideas by using non-open ones? Or am I missing something?
