... and with it, I mean the Torrent-URL, as well as a password you encrypt the data with, then post it up on several Torrent-Trackers under appropriate names (like "Angelina Jolie naked.avi" etc.)... it'll most likely still be around for downloading in 17 years...
Kudos for bringing it out... wonder how long some appear on Ebay, and how long till some how-tos appear on how to put your own video on it...
Now, imagine, in the future they might be able to move a whole magazine to - say - a mobile computer pad instead of dead trees... isn't that mind-bogling? Wonder if the technology will ever exist...
There's two guys taking on the (nowadays) unheard of task of writing an Assembly OS, and all people go on about is that you can run Quake on it? WTF... The last Assembly-OS I used (well, to a big part anyway) was my trusty ol' Amiga... and it ran circles around many systems that came later with more CPU power...
If the artificially created DNA evidence was based on just the contents of a profile database, and the person incriminated is apprehended, wouldn't a DNA comparison of the fabricated and the real sample show major discrepancies? At least at that point a person should be able to prove that the DNA is not from him/her... (of course, DNA being so highly regarded as infallible, it's a classic "guilty until proven innocent")...
Of course this would not work for DNA created on the basis of existing DNA...
Well, of course it's a duplication of functionality - after all, it's a f@cking phone already. Apple saves its followers a big amount of time, saving them from downloading an app that would allow them to do phone call...
Anyway, I guess it just fits together - after all, I reckon they get a decent cut from AT&T's income of phone minutes, so if people were to move to VoIP/Skype, they'd call less, ergo less income...
Sorry, but this dictatorship is what will keep me from getting an iPhone, even if it may be a well designed piece of soft- and hardware... will be picking up a G1 some time soon I guess...
For a second i was wondering how Germans could that stupid. That is unlike the Germany i know
You don't seem to know much about politically motivated, government-initiated IT projects in Germany, do you? Overfunded, and staffed with f@cking idiots unable to do their work, much less keep the project organized with PM...
Where would your government be without childporn? If it didn't exist, the government would surely invent it. What do you mean, "would surely invent it"? They are inventing it, at least as far as numbers and facts are concerned... in Germany, "Zensursula" von der Leyen has come up with statistics about the amount of commercial Childporn distributed via Internet, none of which she to date has been able to actually back with any facts. Additionally, the "large number of countries" without legislation against child porn supposedly was the reason filtering (useless, as it's based on faking DNS results) is based on a year-old study, which on top of the age is also containing information that is plain wrong (e.g., if a country does not have specific laws against child porns, it is counted, even if it has outlawed all porn!). Upon examination of said list, it was found that out of almost 100 countries listed, only like 9 indeed didn't have laws against child porn. Of those, nearly all are well down on the technological scale, making distribution of child porn d@mn near impossible from there...
Of course, what politician can resist finally getting his wet dreams of actively taking charge of all of the country's citizens access to free information fulfilled?
If I'm not completely mistaken, some video tools already available for quite some time would be able to do just that... e.g., Boujou is able to convert several tracking points in video footage to points in space, in order to later put other stuff in or alter the footage...
Not all companies back then developed directly on the C64 either.
I can't speak for all folks, but what I did on the 64, as well as what many of my friends did, was exclusively done on the C64... mostly due to the fact that the C64 was what we had, nothing else (well, maybe except for a Sharp programmable calculator, etc.) And we didn't use any high-level crap, but coded in Assembly... optimizing was done using a biological optimizer (i.e., a BRAIN, something rarely used by programmers today...)
> Fail2ban, denyhosts, all of these won't even slow these attacks down.
As for denyhosts, yes, you can slow them down, as it can share blocked hosts among all users... I typically get about 5-10x as many from the denyhosts server than I block new remote hosts...
It's simple, the backups are compressed -- they simply remove all those useless zeroes from the binary data.
... and once the useless zeroes are out, a RLE of the remaining data takes care of the rest... then, once a day, some monkey comes in and does a backup on an old 1541... the disk is then xeroxed and the paper copy safely stored in between the stocks and derivatives of AIG, ensuring that no-one will ever find it in between that worthless pile of paper...
Btw, Stuttgart canceled a game meeting either last or coming weekend, based on the fact that they would have stuff like Counterstrike being oh so violent...
Fact is, there is no known case of any major fight with people injured at any game meeting.
Football (soccer) matches on the other hand... still they don't dare to ban those...
Every time something horrible like this happens (and 15 people, many of which children/teens, losing their lives is indeed horrible), you can expect over-zealous politicians, police or others to pop up all over the place, calling for banning of either Internet, Games, etc...
And why? Easy!
First of all, they want to be seen as somebody who is "actively" doing something... (with most people not understanding that the only thing being done is talking, bot taking care of the problem). With several elections due this year in Germany, this way of producing themselves is even more probable...
Then, calling for ban of $random will always be easier than calling for actually doing something to fix the actual cause... which, in this (and probably most/all cases) is taking care of a psychologically sick kid decently, and/or kicking the parents for not taking the time to care for their child(ren)... sure, it's easier to let the TV and computer take care of them instead of spending time yourself...
Did you really expect M$ to do their tests with sites they _know_ they don't have the chance of a snowball in hell to even get close to beating the competition? Do you believe M$ would have publicized the results hadn't they found enough sites to beat the other browsers?

We started our business in March 96... went online 3/6/96... back then, a 128k line was enough to supply a total of three POPs with internet... private users were limited to use during off-hours (5PM through 8AM), though IIRC we didn't have hourly charges (apart from the dial-in cost for the people for their modem or ISDN connection)
Ah, what fond memories - Web browsing without any M$ IE in sight;)
Of course it's nothing new that teachers won't re-write their teaching docs every year. After all, unless topics change, there is no need to re-do stuff you already prepared. But being so lazy that you don't even want to make up new quizzes every other year, or at least alter them somewhat so that straight copying isn't possible - puleassssse... even if it legal (which, even in the US, I seriously doubt), once word is out, EVERYBODY will know she's too lazy, keep duplicates (or write the stuff on their computer), and make SURE they are available on the Internet for every new pupil to get for generations to come...
(Of course, she could use the DMCA takedown provision to get rid of it, but...)
Wonder if it would beat download rates of other popular stuff, like 24 or so... (one time I checked, one of the S7 season openers was at 10k Seeds and 25k downloaders)
Looks like I need to find another place to get on the Internet for free while on vacation in the U.S. from now on... sucks, CC was always easy to find for quick look at my emails or stuff...

Apple does it again, beating other companies to it ... iPhone now even with built-in iMicrostove !
May we vote or nominate people to send on these one way trips? I believe there are quite a few people without whom Earth would be better off ... :)
... but I only use my Gold to store and trade the Latinum inside ... so much easier to handle than the eye-dropper ...

It appears Germany is returning to the days of East Germany
GDR would have been happy to have had the possibilities that recent legislature (and technological progress) have introduced ...
Of course, they need to make sure they can put out decent number of registrations, and handing out two licenses per registration doubles the number ...
After all, "100 users" sounds better than "50 users", don't you think? :)
