OMG thats almost beyond words!! Its like a crappy cracked out 256color circus with conflicting single-instrument background MIDI tunes, a poorly done, looped stick figure animation for the backdrop and eye-searing moving colorbands of aaaaauuuuggggg!!!!
the ponies were much better, and kinder.
This guy must be going for the WORST myspace page ever!
Kazaa as it was used is no longer the same entity, and a great many of us use bit-torrent, so (IMHO) including bit-torrent in this discussion is both useful and relevant expecially since most lawyer types would not be able to explain the difference in court.
(forgive any spelling/grammar errors, its been a long day)
Imagine for a moment what it would be like to feel completely compelled to donate $10 to the accoount of samezpus, and to have that feeling get stronger and stronger, the more you try not to think about making that donation, the more sure you are that you will, now, if that feeling had a color, what woiuld that color be? Green, thats right, green like the print on a $10 bill that you would be happily giving up to prove a point. now lets imagine a time, say, 3 weeks after you donate $10 to samzepus, and to you returning to slashdot and reading an article about all the cool things that samzepus bought with the money he was donated and imagine the feeling of satisfaction you feel knowing you helped out such a worthwhile cause, doesn't that feel absolutely wonderful?
Forget the T-shirts, this product looks ready for....
Digital Condoms!!!
Express your adoration for your partner by putting his or her name, likeness or motto on one of our custom condoms... Think its as large as a Coke can? We can make those designs too! Make it do light shows, or resemble the vegas strip!! With a little Condom Magic(TM) you can make your Man-Cannon resemble a Howitzer!!
Why don't we sell them the technology our own Air Force has been using to disperse clouds? Its been a little while since I read about it, but as I recall, we have been chemically seeding clouds under the guise of "dumping" super-expensive jet fuel. The clouds dissapate rather quickly. Of coourse it makes better sense for the Chinese to WANT rain between now and the Olympic Games, in an effort to clean their air.
so 1. seed the clouds, make it rain, 2. use the jet fuel to dissipate the clouds 3. Profit??
Before we go starting rumors, the units are about 60grand a piece, but they rent for 2grand a month, they have 20 minutes flight time, are nearly silent (65 DB@ 9ft), the radio is either GSM or 2.4GHz and they can carry about 2 lbs.
IMO, it is evolution, since it appearsto be a challenge-response environment, they did not design viruses from the start to crash antivirus software 30 years in the future.
Like most of the readers here, I will watch this case closely (enough to actually RTFAs).
My sincere hope in this is that MediaSentry and the RIAA in general get their asses handed to them. I am all for dragging the top 4 levels of each guilty corporation into the street and publically beating them for their wrong-doings.
Then releasing the video of the beatings on youtube.
The reason I come here is to read the posted comments, I often find them more informative, interesting and funny than the summary or TFA. On a quick scan of the posted comments, I noticed that many many posters said " ooooh Mythbusters did this ". I am amazed by the lack of origionality of these posts (past the first one) and the fact that in an effort to get their 2 cents out there, none of these posters bothered to even scan the reader responses, much less actually read them.

There are many posts about high profile evil types with pacemakers and what-ifs to reprogram said pacemakers. They all seem a little silly to me since, as I recall, microwave ovens produce a signal that can kill the pacemaker user. Conceivably, it would not be very difficult to create a waveguide antenna to shape the output from a high-power microwave horn from a commercial microwave oven into an aim-able beam. With a few of these running at the same time a DOS attack would be very feasible. Disclaimer: IANAP (physicist), and have only dabbled in wifi antennas (about the same frequency of microwave ovens), nor do I recommend employing these tactics against anyone, no matter how despicable they are. Especially when a firing squad works just as well, its just not as geeky.
Isn't there a way to demand that politicians explain the idiotic things they claim? If there is not, there should be, and then if they are proven wrong, they should be fined and beaten! Publicly!

Interesting, WAY off topic, but not a bad read for a short story.
Can't we just shoot em? I really don't feel right biting some guy's ass.
I hear you.

I was wondering if today would go by without

I think you consume too many cathode rays.
Do a little research into NLP.

The bloat is occurring because the project is not open-source, it could be done for pennies, but would take 20 years to complete.

That would not count, as the positives in your rebuttal would be affected with a separation clause and it's accompanied pause.
"It isn't news that security products can have have security vulnerabilities."
While two negatives make a positive, two positives do not make a negative.

How many of us RTFA? You think we actually READ the source?
At best the code remains dormant until it is publically discovered, then the code is executed in an effort to control unpatched boxes.

Wow, that sucks. So you are telling me that companies are going to start paying us what we are worth right before the world ends?????
