When is the US going to "Cyber invade" China? I'm not sure how exactly they would do it but I'm guessing it would involve telling people that they export viruses of mass destruction, letting people know it'll take a day or 2 to get the Chinese servers in line, and the backbones there will welcome them with open arms. The US will then be there for a month or 2 before they get someone in the government to call it off leaving the Chinese networks in the hands of a few ISP "Warlords" for a few years...
Rhapsody huh, one problem. All the music I listen to comes from artists not listed in their catalog. I am tired of people calling me a thief when I:
1. cannot order the music I want to listen to into the country through any available means (all the record/cd stores around me wont order it in)
2. Its not for sale on their website and 3rd parties online wont ship to me.
3. I have tried Rhapsody and Itunes and a few others, there is only one source I've managed to find the music I like on, and thats p2p pirate sources.
If your going to spam us with a product saying we should all goto it then perhaps it should be able to meet the needs of a citizen of the world and not what *IAA shoves down my throat.
P.S. I do support the artists I listen to, I sent the pagan bank in the UK some money directly and told them of my plight trying to get their music in Canada, the band leaders exact words were "Download away, we are just glad someone is listening."
Simply make sure the law says this: if you give someone copyrighted information for profit in any way then its illegal unless the owner is compensated. If you give someone copyrighted information not for profit, (IE after expenses net = 0) then its legal so long as it give credit to the original copyright owner/s.
Also if possible the government could charge a levy on data storage material (say $1 on pack of cd's ect.) that goes to paying the artists ( and artists only, not *iaa) to recoup any believed profit loss.
Personally I like this idea, though I would suggest prefer a smaller projectile. It would in theory anyway be like cutting your enemies heart out with a sledge hammer.
create a one way mirror of the database, let them access the mirror, that way when they pooch it you can reload...but charge them through the nose to do so, claim is as "you have to recover the data" or some such nonsense.
Honestly this has been a long time coming. The truth is people are allowed to have bibles, or other holy books, followers of Islam are allowed there prayer mats, I don't see why we shouldn't be allowed wands.
I mean yes it in theory could be used as a weapon, but honestly history has shown us that if a prisoner is determined to hurt an inmate they can find a way.
Guys your making this too hard. The plan I plan on using is this. Step 1 make a ghost image of the drive. Step 2 upload image to FTP. Step 3 wipe computer and load a fresh install of whatever os my windows product key says I should have. Step 4 put a copy of ghost on a micro SD card, but the micro sd card in the fold in my pocket watch. Step 5 when I get across the border find an open wi-fi (see hotel I'm staying at) and download image from FTP, then re-ghost drive.
I got the idea from an old joke: before the belin wall came down this guy used to cross on his bicycle every day, the border guards KNEW he was smuggling something but could never prove it. when the wall came down a former guard ran into him and asked him what was it he was smuggling the man answered "bicycle parts."
I don't have to get the data in, thats easy, I just need the hardware to pass muster.
send them a 900 pound out of court settlement for harassing you and claiming forensic when, without a copy of all information on your hard drive and the logs from your router and proof that you where the one who started the download, They don't have.
I'm not a lawyer, but I have had one of these before and I got them to leave me alone fast.
Simple, we as a species need to remember that eventually we will be competing with those species for resources. Better to make them work for it. I don't want to give primitives guns to help them even if it's to defend themselves from large land predators on their planet, only to have my grandchildren fight this same species because now they have guns and figure they can take what they want. all because I taught them the concept of the gun.
We need to remember that trading technology is risky, not necessarily to our generation but in 90 years when their culture has adapted the tech into something that gives them a big edge in the future.
Go on, take down my MAC address,
1. I'm in Canada, we don't serve your DCMA'ing kind here.
2. My router changes MAC addresses routinely, I made that change a long time ago.
I Don't think its the first SiFI on TV to do it. DS9 did it a lot, Stargate did it. This is the first show though to show the monotheists (IE Christians) to be the bad guys and polytheists (IE the colony's or pagans). Which for me reminds me a lot of what happened in Europe long ago, when the romans pushed the pagans out.
That and the 'good' guys using sueside bombers to try to win, scares you.
I think you are troubled by this show because it takes you out of your comfort zone. You don't like thinking perhaps you are the bad guys.
Guys, you may think that this is the rare exceptions, but in reality this is the way the wind is blowing in Canada. We have a privacy act in Canada that many legal scollars agree that DRM violates because it requires to much information about the user of the file. The long and short of it is this. In Canada you can buy a lawnmower take it apart and make something out of it, In the US if you did that you violate the DMCA...do you see the problem here?
I know many companies that try to use stockholm syndrome to win, I worked for a major retail pharmacy chain in Canada (hint not rexall) and they used the philosophy that we were only there to be their slaves and not do anything else. When I wanted to use 1 week of my 2 months of lieu time saved up, they decided to fire me. good thing they didnt make me sign a non discloser agreement or I wouldn't have gotten my lieu paid out.

So I say we implant the device in Jack's brain and rig up a long lasting power source, scientists get their research, and we can to make him shut up.

...Then where the servers are. Like making the game not suck, which from what I've seen so far they havnt done yet.

So Kane is now in charge... does that mean the new motto will be "Peace through power"? heh, although OLPC isn't as catchy as NOD

I found it also helped if I sacrificed virgin RAM it helped also.
heh, what do you wanna bet if we discover god he will just be an elaborate sequence of carbon nanotubes.
Sorry Paganism isn't organized beyond the 13 person coven limit. And if your a priest/priestess then you better believe or it doesn't work.
no way am I walking and in had with a fracking cylon!
I agree that this seems bad, something stinks here. I mean I know I'm paranoid and all but this just seems wrong.
Trust me, as a pagan I can insure you, screw with mother nature, and she will screw you back.
as the pilots aren't making calls while flying. I don't want the last thing I hear is "Gotta go, about to crash"
