This is even happening today, you can down load "free" spyware removal software, that will be nice enough to remove all spayware on your pc, minus the spyware you install to use their spyware removal.
They will keep your machine "clean" for the price of a few ad's.
p.s. Yeah I dont have any links to backup this, do a search on downloads.com. I know their are some available there.
So a ex US President, helped launch a Chinese company (communist) create an application that will deny access to people in china to access information on democracy.
This same company gave an "undisclosed amount (aka large amount)" of money so to open a library (free information) with the name of a ex us president in a democracy.
sooo..... democracy helps communists block free information to communists about democracy while the communists are helping democracy supply more free information to democracy .
Am I missing anything here, or is this just silly?
I have owned 6 toshiba laptops over the years, and have convinced dozens of people to buy them. Not a single problem minus user related problems (spilling water on keyboard, ripping out power cable).
I was also able to convince the place I work for to replace all their dell laptops with toshibas, 3 months later and a single problem.
The hardware in the toshibas are useally very high quality, and difficult to break. I carry my laptop everywhere, and I walk a few miles a day from home, work and coffee shops, and I dont think many other laptops could have surivied as long as any of my toshibas had.
Thats the current list, it was my understanding that the screen saver would access the server at some point (that collects the data generated about requests made, usages and so on) and update the blacklisted sites that would be getting the http requests.
Not sure when this happens, or how often, but I would guess it would be some what often, incase they were forced to remove a site, or add new ones (maybe each time the screensaver restarted?).
A side not: There are now over 103,000 screen savers running, compared to the 15,000 running about 4 days ago, so it seems to be taking off rather well.
One thing I liked most about swg was the fact you could start towns, build them, and allow people to live in them and so on.
Will wow every allow this to happen? The basic game design was based on this game style, so why not allow this?
Think about how great it would be to lay siege on an enemey town/city like in warcraft 1 or 2 in 1st person mode.
From a previous news article I had read lycos is just making it available to download, and marketing it so to speak, but another company developed it, and im guessing since the site is down/comprimised,and that you can not access the black list its hosted somewhere other then lycos. But I could be wrong.
"A source close to the company said AOL opted to include IE engine support in order to offer users more choice, as some sites are optimized for certain browsers. But to avoid security vulnerabilities found in IE, Netscape "gives the user the choice through Site Controls of what sites they trust and don't trust by allowing them to turn off Web functionalities that expose security holes on a per site basis," "
Does this mean that while the IE engine is running it will be just as open to IE attacks? Or that people will have the ability to use built in IE features, or are those seperate to the IE engine...
It seems like Netscape really dosent care to try staying in the browser market, so why do they keep trying, will this just be another project that will be killed again in a few months/years.
Im just conserned because im a web developer, and really would perfer not to need to worry about another browser that might not follow standards.

SCO.com Defaced
·
· Score: 1
Yes is could hurt SCO, depending on how long it was up, and how many people saw it. Not everyone knows about the lawsuit, and I would guess that even fewer people would think "damn those Linux users attacking the SCO website"
I doesn't help Linux, and why would it have to, it was targeted at discrediting SCO, and making fun of them, and focusing on damaging their reputation with customers (or potential customers) who might have seen the image.
The damage that would have been caused to Linux is minimal to none, it would have been more directly damaging to SCO, the first thing that I would think is how professional is a company that would be compromised so easily, or for those who don't follow the SCO case (far too many people) I think SCO might have lost a customer.
"Vigilante justice is not the answer."
Bullshit, its turning a blind eye to things like SCO and that has fucked up this country and the world, vigilante justice and civil disobediences is the only answer to protect our selves and our rights, because your government doesn't care about you, it cares about money, period.
20 hours of game play.
From what I have been hearing most people have just skipped the single player game, and are just going right into the multi player games.
All digitally enhanced and edited to give you a better happier feeling of your government, and America ass seen through the eyes of censorship.
After what has happened over the last few years the last thing I want to depend on is the government telling me what has happened in history, or telling me WHAT parts of American history (aka news) I can have access too.
Yes this is something they are going to be offering, and their will be other areas where you could get this information, but I can see a lot of places (libraries primary example) that will no longer carry or supply this type of information, because the government will supply it to us.
With any problem I always try to find the most resonable and the simplest way to handle it.
Realiticlly wouldnt it be easier to just add this tax onto the sale of gas? I mean christ your not going to be driving anywhere unless you buy gas, and Im willing to bet most people will not be jumping accross the cali border just to get gas.
The only reason I can think of why they wouldnt want to do this is the fact people would realize how much extra they are paying to drive, and start driving less and less as this tax goes up, so they only way to milk consumers money is through an illusion of a tax they pay each year.
Or theirs other reasons as to why they would want to track cars, and im willing to bet the "driving tax" is the only way they can get a revenue stream for these other reasons.
"Oh, and you need much bigger maps if you're going to include vehicles like X-Wings or Tie fighters. Every two seconds you run into the imaginary wall at the end of the map. While you're at it, you might want to think of actually giving the player a reason to get into an X-Wing (ie; some sort of aerial battle)"
I dont know about the xbox or ps2, but with the pc version, you can fly for allmost 2 minutes from 1 side of a map to the next, and aerial battles? I have been in aerial battles with 4+ people at once that can last the entire battle, with people on the ground shotting at you with turrets, rockets being launched at you, and so on.
The same goes with tanks and walkers, its gets very exciting when you see an a walker coming at you taking everything out in its path, and suddenly you see it rushed by 5-10 other people with rockets trying to take it out.
I was a huge fan of tribes, so I really enjoy this game, the main issue I have with it is I do not think they are going to allow people to create their own maps and mods, which will kill this game faster then tribes (tribes is still popular from what I have seen).
This deals with something that use used by thousands of websites, I even wrote a web application about 5 years ago that did this, and if I remember this patent is only about a year old? (could be wrong).
Basically they say they own the idea of listing other customers opinions or recamendations of different products.
For example, if you were looking at a pc, you would have things suchs as Members to ordered this product also ordered this monitor, or feedback about the pc from customers who did buy the item etc.
This is totally a prior art situation, I dont know why this company didnt go after smaller companies, but if they get their trial by jury that would be a very very bad thing...

Global test
Question 1:
County has done nothing wrong, but has billions in oil.
Do you.
a) Destroy it, and have your friends make billions re building their infrastructure, along with putting other friends in charge of the oil.
b) Work with the UN to take care of any problems we personally have with this country.
c) Let them continue to run as a country and wait for them to do something that would give any type of real reason to attack.
I think the USA scored a big fat F on this test.
Bush didnt need to know this information, geeze, the president isn't the person gathering this information, their are thousands of trained professionals working on data gathering, and hundreds of people who had information about this project before it happened.
The fact is this information would have been discussed, and was most likely considered not important.

You dont get the blacklists from lycos.

"The sites targeted will come from blacklists generated by Spamcop and other anti-spam organizations"

From a previous news article I had read lycos is just making it available to download, and marketing it so to speak, but another company developed it, and im guessing since the site is down/comprimised,and that you can not access the black list its hosted somewhere other then lycos. But I could be wrong.
I knew something was up when the screen saver would not connect to the server to start requesting blacklisted sites.
I know last night for a few hours the site, along with alot of regional sites were having problems, then just became unaccessable.
Personally I was suprised it was able to last as long as it did, what it does is questionable, but it is a nice screensaver, and not a bad idea.

What do you think will be their primary focus, trying to enforce existing corporations IP like the RIAA.
Or will they make an attempt to get some type of process here in america working with filing.

Happy Tree Freiends has been doing this for a while, you can even buy their DVD's in hot topic.
I would be more conserned with the mini vans near their homes then the tanks.

Seriously , RAD is important to alot of development, and if this is the first notable applicationf ro RAD, then linux has a ways to go.
