Not sure how many do this, I find a nice medium-length password and make a universal algorithm in my head that I apply to the website name or URL in some way so that I only have to remember the scheme and not a new password for each site.
Doesn't this, in a way, come down to an issue of long-term goals for space exploration? The costs of putting up a station of sorts on the moon would no doubt be immensely costly. If we just plan to run a few missions to Mars, it really doesn't seem very cost-effective. If someone has solid numbers I'd like to see how the distance moon/Earth would be to further planets such as Jupiter or Neptune. Also how big of a factor is the gravity difference in the long run for travel. If we could turn a station on the moon into a pseudo-colony, I think that would have some nice potential for space travel and perhaps even more affordable space tourism.
This is in regards to the "Does he have persuasive documentation to show that a significant number of children are being adversely affected by pornography despite a reasonable effort from parents to monitor their children?" sentence/statement from above.
I would like to ask what the benefit of monitoring is without proper education? Is this active or passive monitoring? If it's passive, such as installing a 'nanny' software and leaving it at that, I feel that is a really poor solution. It has become something of an adopted myth that issues that are hidden or obscured are solved. Active monitoring, I feel, is far more beneficial. Be truthful with your children and step them through what all this means, the risks and the benefits because learning it elsewhere (and we all know they will learn it elsewhere in time) is probably far more detrimental.
I've often been curious about this. While I respect and understand the rights to a company patenting it's user interface be it tangible or software, I ponder how much this effects inconsistency among interfaces. I'm sure many of you have been in a rental car and gone to set a preset or change the radio station and have given up in frustration as not to hit another car trying to figure out the new interface. Certainly this was true for a while in the early 90s among games when they had to use different key combinations for different actions and such. Just how much does patenting of interfaces effect inconsistency among interfaces.
The hint was kind of left in my mind with the DMCA, however, with this it is all the clearer. It is hard for me to look at this without viewing it as almost a commercial for a 'brilliant' idea that will let the government return a bit of what was 'taken away' from the 'pained' media industry by p2p networks. From the potential usage of this for jailtime (extreme but things look to be going that way, 'throwing the book' to scare those sentenced early) to the cute acronym this just looks like the media industry packaging a neat little present for themselves via it going to congress - and potentially passing - and allowing them to recover their theoretical losses. I still have a difficult time understanding this as theft by comparison to the tangible term. If someone were to steal the a compact disk containing the licensed music, there are a number of tangible things that are being taken, the CD itself, the packaging and printed medium. Granted using p2p networks to get music without paying is a bad thing it means that something is utilized without being paid for, the original is still there. I do not see the theft. I see misappropriation, a fraud of kind but not a theft as is normally the case. Could someone elaborate for those of us confused about this distinction?:)
Reading some of the more key points with OO it reminded me of some of the reasons that I am such a big fan of OSS and the OS movement. With these open (or at least more open than MS and the like) standards it gives a good feeling that you are in control of your data and the documents, etc. you create. When I would use a tool such as MS Office I would feel that I'm making the document for it or as a kind of expansion of it rather than as a self-created work for me. This sent a tinge of concern through me for quite some time. I know it is probably silly for me to feel a sense of liberation and it's really not anything I can describe properly. I guess I just enjoy the freedom permissible by using a standard that is not owned and controlled by an entity that has little to no desire for openness. With quality suites like OO I feel that once users get this feeling that they are in control of their own works - or at least more-so then they were - they will make the migration which will only bring futher support to the OSS community.
What would happen if U.S. users were to download via a proxy of some sort in a foreign country that does not honor the demands of the RIAA with their statements of copyright violation. I know that a lot of servers of questionable content have been moving "overseas" and I am curious as to how effective such a tactic would be in practicality for p2p users.
I don't recall seeing something that extensively mentions what all testing procedures were done before this was put in place? Seeing statements about at least some of these errors being caught almost purely by chance is very disconcerting. I know that poor testing procedures is a definite trend in development unfortunately. Could someone who is in the know post information that is permissible on some of the testing procedures of this system or systems like this?
If MS weren't in such the economical position they were in this would probably be stated with the losses they were taking with the xbox. Although I'm willing to bet that iPod is having a far larger margin of sales via iTunes than the xbox is with it's title releases.
So how is it that people were not allowed to bundle/redistribute the libraries with their own GPL/LGPL'd projects? I read through the article but don't have any of this back information. Could anyone post for me and any others curious about what these revisions were over exactly?
I'm curious as to if all you did was throw away the magazine. I'm not trying to be rude, but perhaps next time you should send a well-written letter to the editor(s) of the magazine as well as the parent company expressing what caused such digust and duress in their product. While it is doubtful that a single message put across will make much change enough will, hopefully, at least convey that many intelligent and quite possibly fairly economically stable no longer want to purchase their publication.
Technology is not a thing that can be only used by the government or the elite ruling class. Technology I think (at least properly used) far more levels the playing field than giving one side a huge advantage/disadvantage. As long as there is inventive spirit and we are permited to walk around with at least moderately advanced technological tools/devices without arising suspicion we will still have a fair playing field.
What of usenet? Couldn't Kazaa proclaim to be a content carrier? There are a lot of venues where there is a good deal of bandwidth utilized for piracy and the (now very liberal definition of) breaching copyright material.
It seems this would be something that would have been up and coming. With so many tech jobs being outsourced to India. Hopefully their booming economy will help give us a run for our money. Historically good things seem to happen when we have competition. At least I hope it will be friendlier and with at least as comparable results as the technology boosts during WWII and The Cold War.:)
How difficult would it be to keep say a device such as this with the necessary equipment in it's own "secure" storage place by the sides of freeways or other places where tagging is eminent and have it go over the graphitti during peak times where people are likely to not make an attempt to vandalize due to the amount of public who would likely take note and alert authorities?
is that even with the discussion of choppy video and people prancing around a green screen it still sounds like better plot than the other 2 prequel movies I've seen.:)
The odd thing I find is that my typing speed/accuracy changes fairly dramatically on the keyboard I use. My prized keyboards was made by Lexmark for IBM. The blasted thing feels like a hunk of steel and with the springs under the keys it has a beautiful tactility. I get these new keyboards now with their soft keys and it's like my fingers utterly lose track of where they are too be. I wonder if people get conditioned to that dramatic a level to the keyboard they use.
If you buy a computer with a pre-installed OS such as Windows or if you are using a Mac Mac OS Z.XX does that automatically mean you accept the EULA? If so it seems a bit daft that you have to give up certain rights because a company decided to bed with another that sells OS software. Just a curiosity I've been pondering for a while.
I'm not to certain as I haven't had my own house or type of place where I could build something "in the back." Are there any guidelines/regulations one would have to meet with the city to do this? I mean it seems there could be a lot of safety/security issues with this. I mean there's lots of litigations just over people having a pool in their backyard let alone this.:)
When I was looking at this I was expecting something filled with tons of wizzbang scientific explainations. Sad that something that has stumped people since the 17th century turns out to be primarily luck.
Well, recently I had hit a site that gave me very good documentation and introduced me to a good GBA development mailing list. Through this list I got a CD of documentation, programming examples, etc. Now while this information could be (and will be) used for third-party development of the GBA, it probably also has some info on schmea using flash components or EEPROM that tells how to build a similar device. I wonder if having possession of this information could cause problems. I mean currently I build the images in a modified version of GCC and run them through an emulator but if something looks good and the code gets finalized out I'd like to eventually be able to put it on something that a true GBA could run. I'd hate for that crucial step to be made illegal by NOA abusing the DMCA (as if anything else happens with it.)

I've personally been waiting to see if they use this as an embedded OS in some form of 'smart' sex toy. Not for personal use mind you ... ... damn.
