Depending on what style of music you are into there are plenty of zines where you can sell your CD's or have people do reviews.
Also again depending on your style of music you can find very large distributors that will sell your CD's for a %. Basically if they like your cd's they will buy them at a large discount, and sell them through other zines or catalogs and websites.
This is the email that was sent out to godaddy customers on 3/30/2005.
Dear Valued Go Daddy Customer,
Today I have the unfortunate responsibility of informing you that there has been a decision made by bureaucrats of a Federal agency that takes away your right to privacy as guaranteed by the United States Constitution.
This decision was unilaterally made by the National Telecommunications and Information Association ("NTIA") www.ntia.doc.gov without hearings that would determine the impact on those affected, and delivered without notice -- in short, the NTIA decision was made without due process of any kind. This is exactly how our government is not supposed to work.
The effect of this decision is to disallow new private domain name registrations on.US domain names. In addition, if you already own a private.US domain name registration, you will be forced to forfeit your privacy no later than January 26, 2006. By that time, you will need to choose between either making your personal information available to anyone who wants to see it, or giving up your right to that domain name.
I personally find it ironic that our right to.US privacy was stripped away, without due process, by a federal government agency -- an agency that should be looking out for our individual rights. For the NTIA to choose the.US extension is the ultimate slap in your face..US is the only domain name that is specifically intended for Americans (and also those who have a physical presence in our great country). So think about this for a moment. These bureaucrats stripped away the privacy that you're entitled to as an American, on the only domain name that says that you are an American. I am outraged by this -- you should be also.
If, like me, you are outraged at the NTIA's decision to strip away our constitutional right to privacy, www.TheDangerOfNoPrivacy.com will provide you with a petition to sign. (Only your name will be published, your address and email information will be kept private.) This Web site also provides a very easy way for you to send either a fax or an email, expressing your outrage, to your Congressperson and Senators. This is all provided at no cost to you. All that is required is for you to take the time to visit www.TheDangerOfNoPrivacy.com sign the petition, and send the fax or email to your legislators.
On my personal Blog, www.BobParsons.com there are a number of articles where you can learn more about the NTIA's unfortunate decision and what you can do to help get it reversed.
I also will be talking about our right to privacy on Radio Go Daddy, our weekly radio show that debuts today, March 30, at 7 PM PST. To find out how to listen in, please visit the Web site dedicated to the show, www.RadioGoDaddy.com.
You can be sure that I, and everyone at GoDaddy.com, will do everything in our power to get the NTIA decision reversed. However, we need your help. Please visit www.TheDangerOfNoPrivacy.com to sign the petition and express your feelings to your Congressperson and Senators.

Dosen't the internet scale?

The Next Net

· Score: 2, Interesting
"If you want to reach the whole population, you have to make sure it can scale up."
I thought with the current schema the internet uses it was allways setup to scale and allow for redundency, where one section can do down and a new one can take place. Or new networks could easily be added, and expanded off of.
Even new technologys like P2P and torrent etc were able to come out, still functioning correctly with the internet with no changes.
Maybe they mean the ability for the technology to scale up, meaning situations like the IPv6 would not be such a consern. But then again IPv6 is a huge change to the entire structure of how the internet functions.
The problem with that is what if for example you have a very graphical website, it could be difficult for the users to find the form to submit their information when all your sites images are squished into a portable devices screen.
What I do is I have a link on the top of my page where users of portable devices can login. No checking for agent types or resolutions. And if the site is squished into a small screen, its easy to find.
Checking the resolution of the screen is another way to do it (if you do not want to keep up with the different agent types), if its a very small resolution, you can assume they would need the text based version of your site instead of the very graphical site.
Yes, because parents who have values but are not willing to force or teach them to their children expect the goverment, content suppliers, and ISP's to do their damn job.
What about wireless access providers (or free access providers), internet kiosks, schools, libarys and so on. Is it their job too, kids will find porn one way or another if they want it, be it analog or digital.
Seems like alot of work for everyone else just because some parent is too damn lazy to teach their kids the values they expect them to follow, or to buy/install their own filtering software like www.puresight.com
Very intersting idea, the concept is a great idea, and the way that its implamented into their searchs is perfect.
I know that its beta, but it really seems like they took an application that was existing from many years ago and didnt update the HTML, its not even 3.2 compliant, let alone 4.0.
The pages load fast, and work correctly in IE and firefox, but just because they work correctly in both browsers dosen't mean they shouldnt update to a standard.
"In addition to piracy and copyright infringement, Leahy hopes to work through the committee to address the new threats of "phishing" and "pharming" -- forms of electronic fraud in which perpetrators impersonate trusted banks, retailers and financial institutions to steal Internet users' personal data, spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said."
Ok really now, why would a sub committee that is dealing with copyrights also be going after people doing phishing attacks.
Either I'm totally missing something here, or this committee has other plans that wont be seen on the surface for a while.
"such as Tabbed Browsing and putting them into IE7, the will stop the users who are not very tech savvy from changing to "
Do you honestly think that people who are not tech savy, and not currently using firefox are going to switch over to something else simply for tabbed browsing?
"It seems they probably could, but are not going to."
Well yeah, it's not their job, and its as much their problem as it is the rest of the worlds.
Imagine trying to fix 100,0000 relatives computers. Most of these people are people who don't care at all if their computer is compromised, and would require someone else to fix it, not them.
In fact I was just at a cafe that had a few spybots installed on the machines there, I told many people who went up to use them exactly what was/would happen if they used it, most of the responses I got were "what are they going to do, break into my yahoo account". And it didn't stop a single person from using it (then I decided to login to their router and deny all access to irc ports).
Yeah it is, its strange, but all the communities that I have started are allmost 90% Brazilians. And the only non Brazilian I have on my "friend" list is someone I told about the site.
"With stiff competition from the early starters like Orkut"
Orkut has been around for about 16-24 months. There have been many more socail networking sites that were around much longer before them, like friendster.com, which has been around for a few years now. There biggest competitor will be myspace.com which has millions of users, mainly located in the us/canada regions, where orkut seems to be used mainly by people out of north america.
At some sites, MSN collects personal information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. MSN may also collect demographic information, such as your post code, age, gender, preferences, interests and favorites. Information collected by MSN may be combined with information obtained from other Microsoft services and other companies
The information we collect may be combined with information obtained from other Microsoft services and other companies.
MSN may also place Web beacons from third parties on our site in order to compile aggregated statistics and to help determine the effectiveness of our joint promotional or advertising campaigns. MSN prohibits Web beacons on our site from being used by third parties to access your personal information.
Use of Third Party Ad Networks
The majority of the online banner advertisements you see on MSN Web pages are displayed by MSN.
Your registration information is used to operate the site, for demographic statistics, and to display appropriate individualized advertisements.
In addition, MSN allows other companies, called third-party ad servers or ad networks, to display advertisements on MSN Web pages. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer. Doing this allows the ad network to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement. In this way, ad networks may compile information about where you, or others who are using your computer, saw their advertisements and determine which ads are clicked on. This information allows an ad network to deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you.
when will they change the 6 character minimum for user names. I can see 4 characters maybe (dont know why they would do this in either case) besides planning on "saving" the 6 character accounts for some type of paid user.
"Does it bother anyone else that they imply that spidering is related to DDoS and botnets? "
When the bots are doing nothing but http requests and database requests on your site by doing search queries and following links, then yes that would be a DDoS attack.
Any attack relating to damaging a service is a DDoS.
much better then just DDoS attacking with a single domain with an HTTP request attack, there are a few reasons to doing it this way, my guess would be maybe its harder to notice by viewing your logs, or if you just try removing the images/page thats being attacked, or I would guess it hits the webserver / database harder in the case of system use.
To answer your question, most telemarketing is either collections or credit cards, or charities. I have had many friends that have worked in collections and charities and you wouldnt belive the amount of positive sales they would get.
Yes this would make it more expensive for the spammers to make the calls, and maybe it will keep some of the companies from following through, but with telemarketing if I remember correctly, the costs could be up to.25 per call (connected call) so anything less this this would be doable.
Also keep in mind that a way around this would be to have a dozens (hundreds?) of VOIP services, meaning you would just need a system to switch between "lines". And that technology all ready exists.
I was wondering when people would start talking about this. Its just another form of communication that people will use to exploit and take advantage of others.
Yes VOIP is good, so was the telephone until people realized their was money involved.
The only way I can see being able to slow down the title wave that is going to hit is for the companies that are supplying VOIP to listen to customers when they call and complain about phone numbers spamming them..... But again, we all know how well that works with telephones.
Yeah I know its very unrealistic for most people, but like I side, this is my business laptop. I owe it to my company to keep my data as secure as possiable (which means 99% of my files are stored else where accessable via vpn).
My personal computers at home are a different story natuarlly, they are my entertainment, and if something happens to them they get reformatted.
Just wondering, could cherryOS file lawsuits against the people who are discovering this information?
I dont know what levels people are going to find this information, granted its ovious that nearly the entire project is stolen from one or more other projects, but could they use this as a line of defence?
Ultimate electronics which used to be audio king has recently (as of last month) filed for bankruptcy. This means you might be in the same situation if you are expecting your rebates.
I don't know how their warranties work, most of all their lifetime warranty on speakers / amps you can buy (if it breaks, they replace it, not the manufacture).
So if your planning on buying any equipment from them, you might want to bring this up with the employee before hand.

Orkut may be "dead" to US and Canada residents, but their is a huge following of members from South America and Asia.
In orkut I only have friends from South america (Brizalians keep adding me)
"You are connected to 4,513,561 people through 11 friends."
I think 4.5 million people that I am connected to through only 11 people would disagree with you that orkut is dead.
This is comparable to friendster.com where I have 22 friends, but connected to only 40739 people.
The biggest problem with orkut now is that in the US the site speeds are sloppy at best.
"With stiff competition from the early starters like Orkut"
Orkut has been around for about 16-24 months. There have been many more socail networking sites that were around much longer before them, like friendster.com, which has been around for a few years now.

Side question, where is the quote in your sig from?
To answer your question, most telemarketing is either collections or credit cards, or charities. I have had many friends that have worked in collections and charities and you wouldnt belive the amount of positive sales they would get.
Yes this would make it more expensive for the spammers to make the calls, and maybe it will keep some of the companies from following through, but with telemarketing if I remember correctly, the costs could be up to .25 per call (connected call) so anything less this this would be doable.

My personal computers at home are a different story natuarlly, they are my entertainment, and if something happens to them they get reformatted.
I don't think its a design issue so much as a user internaction problem.
My business laptop which I only use for work and development has never had any type of infection on it.
I dont download freeware, or any software really, everything is installed from cd.
I dont use p2p, torrents etc. dont need it so I dont use it.
I only visit about 30 websites, all of which I trust, everything else is set to be un trusted.
anti virus, firewall, and security permissions set to high.
Its really simple to keep your machine clean, as long as you keep the idea of infections at the top of your list of what to watch for.
Just wondering, could cherryOS file lawsuits against the people who are discovering this information?
I dont know what levels people are going to find this information, granted its ovious that nearly the entire project is stolen from one or more other projects, but could they use this as a line of defence?
