It uses the FireWire high-speed serial bus to connect the host computer and provides support for IDE, SATA and SCSI hard disks, Hermann said in a statement. Ultimately the goal of the TreCorder and forensics products similar to it is to provide companies and law-enforcement agencies digital forensic tools that can gather evidence to trap the criminals that will stand up in court.
Of course they are assuming the data coming out of the firewire port can be trusted... If a machine was already compromised it is likely to send junk data to these ports to help conceal itself.
and for the record maybe they chose Linux because they wanted to avoid saying words that you shouldn't on an airplane like crash, bomb... I'm pretty sure Counterstrike is banned from being played in flights because of the word terrorist:P
You sure I thought all the closed source licenses and EULA's were cookie cutter fill in the blank ones that basically say 'We can do whatever we want and you cant sue us'.

Considering the internet as we know it today was built off a US Military ARPANET... Designed to survive multiple nuclear strikes... Yeah you can see why people might empathize with the military terminology and such.
Technically EVERYONE already has access to this music for free. It is called BROADCAST RADIO. Most people have a way to rip those songs to a cassette, CD or straight to the computer (where you can chop out the commercials before putting it on a CD ZOMFG STEALING! YOU ARENT LISTENING TO THE COMMERCIALS/ADS!)
Once you put something on the open airwaves you lose custody of it period. Its like the internet, once something hits the internet it's not going to disappear.
What you don't think the RIAA is getting a cut of every CD/DVD-RW drive or media? If those are sold primarily for their ability to copy or record music then are included in a later device it could extend to the entire machine logically since you included this component into its construction.
Also every computer has these three wonderful ports these days... Microphone, Audio Out and Audio In.
Demographics have shown that not only are FireFox users a somewhat small percentage of the internet
Ok so 20% of the internet is a small percentage.
Since the makers of Ad Block Plus as well as the filter subscriptions that accompany it refuse to allow website owners control over their own intellectual property, and since FireFox actively endorses Ad Block Plus, the sites linking to this page are now blocking FireFox until the resource theft is stopped.
Actually there is an option on Ad Block Plus to 'disable on (domain)' and to 'disable on this page only'. Clearly these people have never used Ad Block Plus. It is up to the individual to unblock your ads if they so desire and to be quite blunt and honest. I'm happily using Ad Block Plus to decrease my exposure to spyware (Oh right you forgot that site that you are advertising with might actually be infected with coolwebsearch.com) and other malware that can enter through the use of annoying ads that are done with FLASH that take up the whole fucking screen... Anyways getting off topic there. No I dont want your ads and if you are blocking me based on browser and plug-in choices then I'll go elsewhere you scum sucking lowlife.
If you are offended by the Mozilla Corporation's endorsement of dishonesty please contact the Mozilla Foundation and ask them to stop empowering internet theft.
I'm happy that Mozilla Foundation is looking out for my best interests over some scummy web merchants.
"[Commercial-skipping] amounted to creating an unauthorized derivative work, namely a commercial-free copy that would reduce the copyright owner's income from his original program, since "free" television programs are financed by the purchase of commercials by advertisers."
I dont know about you but I pay somewhere around $50-75 a month to the cable company. Yet they (and the channels) still have to insert ads into their programming. I'm sorry but I feel no sympathy for these companies because they are just doing it to get yet even more money so they can provide even shittier service and run the same programs 20 times a day.
Like free television broadcast content supported financially by advertising, much of the content on the Internet today is distributed free to end-users for an indirect exchange of advertisement revenue. When a user loads an ad-driven copyrighted website, he produces a copy of the work due to the inherent architecture of the Internet. If this user is using Adblock to screen out annoying advertisements, he is creating an unauthorized derivative work analogous to skipping television commercials. By the letter of copyright law, this practice would most likely be seen as an infringing use.
GO FUCK YOURSELF. That is all. Just because you send information to me does not mean I have to look at it or pay attention to it. I was quite good at tuning out ads before, I'm getting better all the time. The advertisement is going the way of the do-do as the saturation of advertising is getting to the point where EVERYONE tunes it out everywhere they go.
I'm all for taking responsibility for ones actions. There's nothing that bothers me more than someone falling from a ladder and suing the manufacturer. I'm also for protecting the innocent.
What if the ladder was defective? Shoddy workmanship on it? Bolts Loose? and so on...
It isnt always clear cut. Though maybe this person is a plant by the ISPs in order to you know... force the country to their side on the net neutrality debate.
Considering this is a TRIAL and a matter of PUBLIC RECORD... I do not see the possibility of any sort of 'confidentiality agreement'. You typically get those given to you when settling for an 'undisclosed amount' not from getting your pants sued off of you.

Haha... Oh boy are they screwed... Maybe people can give this story the 'pwned' tag that it so rightly deserves.
No clearly they're representing Delacroy err right I guess Diebold.
Not if you've read their EULA's that say if you have this installed you cant sue them or something.

It seems geared for servers where you'd have 3+ drives in RAID configs
It wasnt a peanut, it was a pretzel
If everyone stops buying the companies just say Piracy went up
Is this anything like the 12 step program in AA?
Yeah now if only they could build a car as durable as these things

So when is someone going to say 'YOU DO NOT NEED TO SEND STUFF OVER THE INTERNET TO LISTEN TO AN MP3?'
I mean honestly, XP shows that you do not need this. Microsoft should just tell the RIAA/MPAA to go fuck off. Seriously.

The only way to improve the security of these machines is to remove them entirely.
Back to paper and pen please. It is somewhat harder to cheat than broken black box voting with time stamps an such.
Average Bandwidth per second * 2592000 seconds (30 days) = 'Unlimited' (Gb/month you have to account for)
DO NOT advertise your service as unlimited unless you are willing to permit this amount of traffic.

I made a Hello world program and submitted it to these sites and got 5 stars... What do I win?
I just have to say that the RIAA is going to get owned before this is over.
Oh wow time to go over this...
