most slashdotters have heard of emusic but they also know its repetoire is best for classical music due to the main players refusing to deal without drm the real site you havent heard of is magnatune.com (having said that most people using amarok have heard of it)
from watching state tv ( http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/) burma's junta does not give a flying fuck about the un or the us china and other bording countries.... thats a different story.
It's true... All these stories of ex-'hackers' getting highly paid jobs for multi-national corporations as security advisors is bordering between fiction and fairy tales. It doesn't work like that; it only happens to Kevin Mitnick and (IN)FAMOUS hackers... it wouldn't happen to you....
Though I'm sure he would like them to believe he was led astray, what if he wasn't and is just manipulating the authorities to get himself back online? what are they going to do if he creates another worm, while in prison? I would hope this is an unlikely scenario but it is one worth considering...
i didnt realise it was canical sponsored... perhaps i am wrong about it being 'open source' on purpose... and not free software... anyway... enough said.. it is probably safe to disregard my comments regarding ideology conflicts
its a shame that i disagree with its 'open source' philosphy - i'm a 'free softwaare' person...
having said that it still looks like a good thing and i dont want to cause myself to many problems. my current school which i have just moved to has no F/LOSS which is really rubbish. as a 24/7 gnu+linux user its hard moving to win xp & ie 7.... having to do web design in dreamweaver and frontpage2003... YUK. but in many ways it is the right thing to do - if you introduce these kids, for what ever reason you want to using F/LOSS maybe a few years down the line, after they have finished complaining about it they will see its benefits and perhaps switch to ubuntu or linux mint or something.... from there, debian & gentoo await. (then comes gNewSense and Utotu)
But i know what you mean. it is hard for people to understand why high quality stuff can be free. but if you look at bill gate's open letter ( the really famous one) its quite easy to explain....
- no computer hobbiest can spend 4 years of his life bug checking etc....
but 50 computer hobbiest can spend 2 hours a week doig that....
cheers for the info ive just started trying at my school techie MS fanboys REALLY piss me off if you live within a 50 mile radius of liverpool get back to me cos i have an interesting link...

/. State TV: http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/
from watching state tv ( http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/) burma's junta does not give a flying fuck about the un or the us
china and other bording countries.... thats a different story.
that is EXACTLY the message state TV is giving on http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/
on state tv http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/
perhaps they are the 'official' photos though from http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/ ( State tv)
.....but you will still see http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/ where-ever you go in burma....
well it certainly gives the illusion it is free... definitly compared to http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/ (state tv)
whereas you can watch http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/ as many times as you want and nothing comes of it....
pity they haven't linked to http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/
it would be cool to slashdot the state propaganda channel.
go watch http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/
that blatant state propaganda should give you an incite into what's going on.
p.s. free to free to watch how great Myanmar is on state tv at http://www.mrtv3.net.mm/
we also show our amazing skillz in webdesign,
It's true...

perhaps I'm wrong though.....?
Though I'm sure he would like them to believe he was led astray,
what if he wasn't and is just manipulating the authorities to get himself back online?
what are they going to do if he creates another worm, while in prison?

cheers for the info
ive just started trying at my school
techie MS fanboys REALLY piss me off
if you live within a 50 mile radius of liverpool get back to me cos i have an interesting link...
thats what i was going to ask... :(
he got us so interested in his story but he didnt tell us how it ended properly...
Russian kids already know how to hack;
giving them gnu+linux just means they will share their skills with the rest of the world!
did you see that video of john reid being heckled?
where's the guns? the violence? the tasing?
oh wait, this isnt the states
