The first working XP key generator was called 'The blue list' as far i'm aware. There was a brute force element to the generation since it took about an hour to make a key on my cruddy old laptop I had at university at the time. Not all keys generated even worked so you'd have to make a bunch. I actually had a legal key under some student licence the university had, but didn't want to phone microsoft to activate it. At some point an instant XP keygen took over as the algorithm was well and truly hacked. Not that i'd know.
Who voted for Blair without checking his CV? Blair is a Fabian.
Fabianism is like Stalinism but slower. (Don't check Wikipedia yet because I haven't changed it).
The use of secret police is an essential feature of this ideology and is for your own good.
Without the secret police we would have all sorts of revolutionaries and terrorists running around with guns, downloading porn, not paying their congestion charges, and all the things terrorists do.
Come on people, tow the party line!
Is any protection 'worth the cost'? How about ditching all these lame attempts to stop 'casual copying' like CSS, DVD regions and macrovision, and then pass the savings on to the customer?
If not then don't be surprised when the customers casually downloads it from a torrent. With freedom from DRM shit, torrents would still be good value at twice the price.
I signed up for an eBay business account last month, and it got locked almost straight away. I was accused of listing a load of crappy items like fake-ish looking perfume and sports goods, a few days BEFORE I signed up. After I cleared up the amazing time travelling junk listings, they admitted their dumb mistake but still wouldn't unlock the account. The only response was "We can't unlock the account because if we do then potential scammers will be able to optimize their scamming techniques. eBay works in mysterious ways" (Security though obscurity?)
Even though there was no money involved since I didn't actually list anything, I was pissed because of course I had given them all my personal info, as is necessary with eBay. They gave me the option of giving them even more ID to reactivate (then close) the account, or else boycott eBay forever.
A funny cancelling experience was when I tried to quit a UK ISP and the support guy asked me my password for a joke because it was about 60 random printable ASCII characters, and he wanted to see if I could recite it. I wasn't amused and asked why they didn't hash user passwords. Nice security guys.
Xinhua confirm that Chinese scientists have successfully tested a simple machine consisting of a circular frame with spokes that can rotate on a shaft or axle.
This appears to be a new type of dupe. I googled for fluorescent pigs and got this latest "news" swamping the top 30 results. Add a -china -taiwan and some reports from around 2001-2002 came up, including a research paper entitled: "Transgenic pig expressing the enhanced green fluorescent protein produced by nuclear transfer" Jul 2002. Did anyone else have the feeling they had read this a seriously long time ago?
Given a research paper and a few years, Chinese scientists seem to be able to invent anything.
I got up today and the net was borked. My first and immediate assumption was that some students had gone out protesting again and got massacred, and the Chinese gov. tried to shut down the internet completely to try and suppress the news.
Internet access was practically dead, but I spotted "7.1 Taiwan earthquake" in an RSS feed from Google. Google was the only thing that I use, that worked since the server was inside China. Chinese sites were not affected and load at full speed, but anything outside mostly times out.
I doubt the strategy to route everything though a few key points for censorship purposes helps much with making the net robust against just this sorts of disaster.
Also for the poster near the top talking about spam, Taiwan isn't a major source of spam, but China is, and China was just as badly affected by the damage to the undersea cables.
Actually I was sort of hoping for a device the size of a novel that opens out and has two e-ink pages, godly battery life, huge solid state memory, with no "features", just basic navigation to flip pages and change book files.
Vending machine books is not an obvious idea, but in my opinion it's not very useful either.
It is bad enough that IE 7 gives such dire warnings when a certificate isn't signed. I can live with the firefox warning, and if IE didn't exist I probably wouldn't bother getting signed, you could ask customers to either trust your company, or not.
Not an option anymore since IE 7 gives them a full page "OMG HaX0rs in teh y0u Brow3zers". That is going to put off most IE users straight away.
Thanks Microsoft. We need to get customers used to the new definition of trust. Yes, that's right folks, trust CAN be bought.

1 query per hour hardly makes a DDOS, I think google can handle it.
Oh, trackmenot just searched for "opinions on camp people". Where does it get its source material I wonder.
Hehe I got it
Frosty piss!
Does netcraft confirm it?
Is fiat currency backed by gold then?
Yes BUT yahoo are offering unlimited storage, whilst gmail only offers a paltry

But we all know where this will end up.

Step 1. Introduce mandatory biometric ID cards/database
Step 2. "Papiere gefallen. Keine Papiere? Gegen die Wand!"
Step 3. ?
Step 4. Prevent terrorism.
"[Wikipedia has] 89 machines in Florida, 3 near Paris, 11 in Amsterdam, 23 in Yahoo!'s Korean hosting facility."
Will the 'merican government also be funding the Asian Wikis hosted in Korea. Also, I wonder if China will be willing to chip in some funding?

That is a useful script, but I would prefer if pigpile filtering functionality was built directly into /.

Oh and don't post a link to the Sony LIBRIe. Look how cluttered that thing is with the qwerty keyboard, not to mention the retail price.
