Re:Web Site EULAs by icqqm · 2000-06-08 23:53 · Score: 2 · on Examples Of Questionable EULAs?

Heck, the big names are doing it too: Disney

"By using this site, you signify your assent to these terms of use." In other words, in order to view the terms of use, I have to accept them. Also, they can change them at any time, and whether or not I know that, I automatically agree to it, merely because I use their website. Let's not forget that "Without limitation of the foregoing, DISNEY shall exclusively own all now known or hereafter existing rights to the Submissions of every kind and nature throughout the universe and shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions." ... "By uploading materials to any Forum or submitting any materials to us, you automatically grant (or warrant that the owner of such rights has expressly granted) us a perpetual, royaltyfree, irrevocable, nonexclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, and distribute such materials or incorporate such materials into any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed throughout the universe. In addition, you warrant that all so-called moral rights in those materials have been waived."

Seems to me this was the same wording that appeared on Geocities after it was consumed by Yahoo!, and everyone made a fuss about it before they changed their TOS not once but twice to stop the complaining. Still, we allow this to exist on the net. Why?

Disney makes it clear that you aren't allowed to download anything from the site if you live in Cuba

"This is the entire agreement between us relating to the subject matter herein and shall not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties. " -- Doesn't that mean they can't modify their TOS unless I sign it first?

In any case, if you want to make claims of copyright infringement, Disney gives you a webpage of instructions

And, since I'm reproducing their TOS statement, it's against their TOS for me to be doing this right now.

MSN Hotmail

"You agree to notify Microsoft immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security." -- Imagine if everyone followed that "rule" when they were breached?

You are not allowed to:

"use the Service in connection with surveys, contests", nor are you allowed to run a mailing list, or even send an email to more than one person, commercial or otherwise.

"Harvest or otherwise collect information about others, including email addresses, without their consent." -- I suppose this would apply to the address book as well? Quick, purge them now!

Almost forgot. It's against their TOS for me to be doing this right now.

Tripod

"Tripod reserves the right to delete any page at any time for any reason or no reason at all."

"Membership is available to anyone over the age of 13" ... "Tripod does not discriminate on the basis of age"

"You may not use the [member] name of any person other than yourself, the name of any entity or organization"

You are not allowed to post "Material that" ... "lacks serious literary, artistic, political, educational, or scientific value."

Angelfire's TOS is similar.

FortuneCity

"Pages may not contain, nor contain links to, any of the following:"

"...information or material allowing one to circumvent manufacture-installed copy protected devices and any other form of cracker utility." -- Their policy on DeCSS I supose.

"We support your Freedom of Speech and expression, however, we ask that you understand that there is a responsibility associated with this right." And that's just preliminary findings.

Re:Fast processor but slow busses. by Ricochet · 2000-04-06 00:02 · Score: 1 · on 1.4-1.6 GHz Alphas

Is the memory access switched also? I'm going to guess it wouldn't be. The memory it self is the slow down. You can fly with the computational speed but when you need to slow down for access to memory we begin to lose the speed (I know that cache helps this somewhat).

I know on the standard Intel setup the memory is one of the slow downs (~100MHz speed, though I believe there maybe 133MHz available).

BTW, my particular need is in the area of I/O and prcessing. The server is processing user reequests (usually from an ehternet) and the either accessing a slow speed device (serially attached) or is hitting a network to attach to the low speed device (uController w/ethernet).

Some more ideas... by Ricochet · 2000-03-24 20:48 · Score: 1 · on The Home Of The Future

I've given a bit more thought to the "Home of the Future" and I've come to the conclusion that a lot of this stuff just isn't going to be in there. Such as the toilet (I hope that this company who intends to make this isn't the same company whose toilets caught fire :-) and 'frig with internet access. Now a frig with a virtual view of what's in the 'frig might be a good idea. Keeps me from open the 'frig and gawking. If I want to view the internet I would watch it on the best monitor in the house (or maybe my cell phone, ok maybe not). Now carring on a conversation with a computer about something I'm cooking could be useful (Hal, how much salt did I add the last time I made this....). And maybe some sensors in the bathroom which can determine that I'm taking a shower and the air is too humid. But I don't want a type of vision in the bathrooms. I can see it now, while at work at Big Bad Corp. (don't read anything into the initials I don't work for them) I get called down to security and reprimanded for have the Pot Roast and the glass of milk because it raised the time I spent in the bathrooms from 15 minutes/day to 25 minutes/day. And That I might want to have my colon inspected because it's getting a bit large.

It'll come down to economics, I can spend $500 (US) for a high quality toilet or $1000 (a guess) for a new fancy I-toilet. When the items get added up for the final bill and things need to get trimmed because I've gone with too much quality the I-toilet will be the first off the list. Of course the projection system and surreal sound system will have to stay and maybe even upgraded, after all I did trim the I-toilet off the list ;-).

I think it will come down to this, a lot of this stuff is resolving a problem that doesn't exist. It's a really neat idea but not much else going for it. Fads come and go. The stuff that will stay and work is something that we can set and forget.

My ideas... by Ricochet · 2000-03-24 11:31 · Score: 1 · on The Home Of The Future

Warning: I was tired when I wrote this so it may jump around and skip lots of details. For that I apologize.

I think we'll see home automation within the next 10 years. Despite one poster's assertation that no one can not afford a thermostat in every room (bi-metallic switches are cheap, small processors are becoming just as cheap).

Let's imagine my home, you walk through the front door and it appears to be a normal un-automated home. All the automation is unseen, no wires, no buttons, no mic's, no speakers. Lights go on when appropriate (depending on ambiant light) and go off when appropriate (you're no longer there). The home temperature, humidity and air flow are just right (this is rather kludgy in today's un-automated systems). The audio system works via voice or a remote. When you ask or select an item the appropriate devices go on. Choose the TV, then the TV goes on (maybe the surround sound system also), want to listen to CD's, fine, the TV will go off and the stereo stays on. The system will need to learn as it goes but should have some kind of initial programming with a simple to use interface (that's currently the voodoo). The system will know you are there (or out) and it won't need badges or pins. It will be able to select the correct settings for your bath/shower and it will be able not waste energy by heating the water all day waiting for someone to use the hot water.

Other things that can be automated, tracking of energy usage and monitoring various things. The kitchen stove should know when food is going to burn and avoid it, the 'frig should also know when things are going bad and warn about them. You'll have the system inventory items, order stock and bid for the best price (these last parts begin to make me nervous) and obviously security, physical as in intruder and fire, and as in predictive break down. Everything has to have a manual over ride and the system/owner/user has to have a way of checking authenticity.

The problem are many such as internet access but the technology will be available. The biggest problem I have is permitting automated systems to take full control. I really don't like that idea but there are something I want the automated systems to handle. Such as garden watering and fertilizing. But I don't want my home to order more milk without consulting me. I also find it very scary to have my whole home available via the net. I design networks for a living and know and understand most of the technology. My leariness towards this is because the potential for abuse is extremely high and I expect the real problems will be corporations and not hackers trying the gain control not of my home but of my buying power.

Currently there are a lot of problems that need to be resolved before such systems can be accepted. I just hope the hardware/software community can resolve them before the sales/marketing community can pitch them.

Mirrors part 1 by Anonymous Coward · 2000-01-19 02:42 · Score: 0 · on Corel Draw 9 for Linux Needs Beta Testers

Visit Humpin! (No, it's not what you think!)

Temporary restraining order DENIED!

Thanks to the efforts of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the organization and support provided by a few of our fellow defendants we are still here! Another hearing is scheduled for January 14th.

We would like to point out to all of the mirror sites with things like "fuck the lawyers" on them that it is because of a generous group of lawyers that we are still here. These lawyers are working for free (or much less than they could get by going over to the Dark Side) and don't deserve this kind of abuse.

Here is the EFF's stance on this case.

Save a copy of this web page now!

We have just been informed that the DVD Copy Control Association is seeking a restraining order against us (named as "Doe 28") for distributing DeCSS and linking to pages that distribute it and linking to pages that link to pages that distribute it.

Section 48 of this request states that we supposedly "have received notice through the MPA and refused to remove the information at issue". This is absolutely false! We have never received any such request (from the MPA or anybody else for that matter) and we obviously were not given the opportunity to refuse! Either Jared Bobrow needs to go back to law school or the DVD CCA needs to get a new firm. This is the kind of sloppy work that could get an important document thrown out.

Here is a 2600 story on this.

Explanation on legality of this information

The software (source as well as binaries) offered on this site can be freely redistributed because it was published under the GNU General Public License. The purpose of this software is not illegal copying of DVD disks. It is meant to provide information necessary to be able to program a DVD player for Linux. To do this, the CSS system needs to be incorporated in the player. Recently the (very weak) DVD content scrambling system was deciphered, freeing the way for a Linux DVD player. The CSS system is not a copy protection system, since it does not prevent copying of the disk. Writing information about the way an encryption scheme functions is completely legal. The source code and binaries on this site are completely legal too, since they contain no code from the DVD consortium or its members. The sources and programs on this site were written by third parties using clean-room reverse engineering methods which are (ready?) completly legal.

Attention www.rhythm.cx was hosting a list of mirrors for these files. That list of mirrors has been replaced with a page reading "This site has been taken down for legal reasons." Here's what the maintainer put on the site the day it was shut down:

NOTE (Thu, Nov 11, 12:17pm EST): I've recently been informed that a law firm which is likely to be one that would try get these mirrors taken down has been visiting this mirror site as well as others. With that said, there is a possibility that I may have to remove this site in the near future because like everyone else, I can't afford to go to court to fight it. Luckly, it seems fairly unlikely that any law firm will ever be able to get rid of all these mirrors at this point (there are currently 41 in 8 different countries and this list is growing every day). However, I have only seen very few mirror _lists_ like this one anyplace. If anyone has the resources, it might be wise to mirror this list of mirrors as well so that the right people will still know that these mirrors exist.

Here is a 2600 story with more details on how rhythm.cx was shut down.

Current Mirrors Last updated: Wed, Jan 19, 12:13am EST
Numbers are only for the maintainer's convenience

We apologize for the length of time between updates. This list has gotten quite large and thus more difficult to maintain.

Much thanks to this site for listing mirrors of the mirror lists.
