How? You are aware that US FCC can't regulate the whole of the internet, right?
At most it can try to block access to OpenNIC servers from the US, but then it's just a matter of a bit of tunneling DNS requests...

I guess it was a joke, but it should be rather simple to determine: if the gas if lighter than the atmosphere you're breathing, your voice will be lighter if you inhale this.

This.

Plus too much whitespace.

Since everyone on Slashdot blocks ads anyway, what about just providing access to raw "news" entries and comments in some other way. Seperate design and content. You know, like (La)TeX.
Come to think of it, I guess the perfect Slashdot would be a news group. It'd even deal with the unicode "problems"...

The worst thing about the top bar is that it breaks using page down to navigate the site. A page down in Firefox scrolls just a bit too much, so that you either have to press up two times or use the scroll wheel. If I wanted to use the scroll wheel, I'd have used it instead of pushing page down. Argh!

With more recent versions of Xorg, its probing works great and in many cases eliminates the need for an Xorg.conf.
Granted, I haven't messed a lot around with Xorg lately, but when I last did a few months ago, it worked great without an Xorg.conf. If you haven't tried yet, give it a go!

I think you mean "colon inches". Big difference.

Yes. Installing SSH and rsync in cygwin, and a random webserver for Windows. Shouldn't take long.

Have a look at http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1896338&cid=34450172

Install openssh-server
Install rsync -- well, it's probably already installed
Install a webserver of a kind, e.g. lighttpd (that's what I normally use).

If you use lighttpd, just follow these steps:

• create a wikileaks user
• add the public key to /home/wikileaks/.ssh/authorized_keys (get it from http://213.251.145.96/id_rsa.pub )
• mkdir /home/wikileaks/public_html
• enable simple-vhost (sudo lighty-enable-mod simple-vhost)
• edit /etc/conf-enabled/10-simple-vhost.conf :
  • simple-vhost.server-root = "/var/www/servers"
• mkdir /var/www/servers
• /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
• ln -s /home/wikileaks/public_html /var/www/servers/wikileaks.yourdomain.tld
• Add DNS record. Use a low TTL (eg. 30 mins == 1800 seconds) and change the entry to point at 127.0.0.1 or similar if you get DoS'ed
• Submit information to Wikileaks.

You might want to secure your server more, firewall etc. Check out fail2ban.

Of course you can do it on Windows, it's just easier on Unix/Linux. SSH and rsync functions the same no matter what system, and is installed on practically all machines.

FTFY

I'm looking to buy a new phone in a few months. My current Nokia 6300 has lasted for almost 3 years, and is beginning to act a bit weird at times.
I had a look at the Nokia N900 a few days ago and was amazed at the price compared to the specifications and the price point of other smartphones. Qwerty keyboard, 800x480 display, Maemo 5.
Here in Denmark I can buy a new and unlocked for 375 EUR, though I'm tempted to find a used one on eBay -- the price there starts around 200 EUR for a slighty used.

Sorry man, that's not a highlight. It's a link.
I, uhm.. think you may have missed out a bit on the Internet. Here, I'll give you a link to start with: http://www.bing.com/ -- happy binge!

Besides, the mentioned "bullshit" was half way into his post. If you just read the first few words, I think he's happy.
