Im not an economist and reserve the right to revise my views on this..... but... currently, Im not a huge fan of any of those market barriers. You want a job? Compete on the global market. You want to sell a product? Fine, and you can even choose to not sell it in certain countries-- just dont expect anyone to enforce that restriction.
Again, with a direct download site, there is a very clear log saying "X Uploaded this file".
Torrents require you to actually download from someone to prove they have uploaded, since there isnt a central distribution site that can be subpoena'd.
Basically, it is always searching and indexing your hard drive,
This simply isnt true. I dont know the algorithm or scheduling it uses to check and index new files, but "always" indicates you simply havent used it. Most likely, you installed windows with a large library, Windows began its initial index, and you got upset that that initial index took a non-zero amount of time.
Raj deserves the job, but I also deserve to be able to buy all goods I need for myself at the same prices Raj does.
No, you deserve to pay what your market will support. When you live on $1 a month, you can start asking to pay Raj's prices; until then its a bit rich that folks in the US complain about jobs while tweeting on their multi-hundred dollar computers and iphones while folks overseas simply want a job sufficient to feed their family.
The self-centeredness of people never ceases to amaze me.
Raj never should have been born. Poor people have the right to live. They do not have the right to breed. You lose that right by poverty
Not sure if troll, or feels REALLY entitled to lifestyle.
Just because you have money and your parents had money does not make you a more important person on the job market than someone who just happened to be born in India.
This is an issue that is close to home for me, since I have many friends here from over seas, one from India. The fact that I was born here doesnt somehow give me more entitlement to the job market than him, and Ive never been super comfortable in the idea of trying to restrict US jobs to americans-- I thought we wanted a free market to give opportunities to all? Why not "all" when it encompasses more than just our chunk of land?
It's not rights holders doing the complaining, it's the industry associations (read: RIAA/MPAA or NZ equivalents), who themselves hold no copyrights apart from their corporate logos.
They ARE rights holders, otherwise they would have no standing to complain about infringement or bring cases to court.
You can't keep up. They will import desperate workers from impoverished countries.
This isnt "the worker losing", its "impoverished people getting job opportunities." Now, justify to me why Raj in India DOESNT deserve your job if he's poor as dirt and is willing to work harder for less than you?
Or is this "I want to defend workers rights, as long as the worker is me"?
I'd rather outlaw the existence of corporate speech; they can no longer hire lobbyists
Lobbyists are simply people. Corporations are headed up by CEOs. Are you going to make it illegal for them to contact their reps?
The only problems with your ideas is that they would be gross violations of the first amendment, and are more dangerous than the issues they are trying to fix.
Problem: With anything less than 96MB RAM youre going to have an awfully hard time running Opera on Puppy, and without Opera youre going to have an awfully hard time doing anything on the internet.
Yea, 105 tesla isnt 10,000 times bigger than what we can create on earth. Hard drive magnets are around 1T, IIRC, as are MRI magnets (though substantially larger and with a correspondingly bigger field).
Plus, neutron star magnetic fields arent close at all to MRI fields-- im pretty wood becomes magnetic (in addition to the other changes it experiences:P ) in the vicinity of a neutron star or white dwarf.
Noone has demonstrated ANY evidence that ZImmerman initiated a conflict, nor brandished his weapon, nor confronted Martin. Even hypothetically if he had confronted Martin, that would not justify an attack by Martin, and Zimmerman would remain jusitfied in defending himself.
They guy even went so far as to disobey the instructions of an official dispatcher.
They werent instructions in the sense of an "imperative", since that dispatcher had no legal authority and Zimmerman had a legal right to be there; he also had a duty as part of neighborhood watch.
And really, are you implying that his getting out of his car without brandishing any weapon is justification for an attack?
Self defense means you are allowed to use proportional response. If someone is attacking you about the head, lethal force may well be in order. And its not as if several shots were fired once the situation was over-- the shot was fired, Martin was apparently incapacitated, and Zimmerman called emergency response. Those parts arent really in question.
We can wait and see what the jury decides and what evidence is uncovered, but at this point the whole case is so tainted by unfounded public opinion and biased media coverage that I dont think we will ever really know the truth; media is generally showing whatever will back up that particular station's belief. The whole situation has been a sterling example of media unreliability in controversial issues.
The RETURN from sha isnt "lowercase", its hexadecimal. Its uncased, and could be implemented as either uppercase or lowercase; trying to perform ascii operations on it will not get consistent results, because it isnt ascii.
I assumed parent was talking about doing a bitshift on the input, which could, again, have unpredictable results if the SHA function is expecting text, and you send it "A" shifted 64 ascii chars down, which is a control character.
Console games have always had bugs and glitches. If you arent aware of this, you havent watched many sequence break videos or speedruns. Look up "Mario 64 0 star completion" for an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTzs9bcNgMQ&t=1m10s
Back in the day people treated those as things to be sought out; once it became possible to play online they were less fun. Try playing Super Smash Bros Melee against a pro, and see just how many "unexpected physics" they exploit in that game-- the list of glitches that can be abused is quite long (from the MewTwo Soulfreeze, that leaves the opponent utterly unable to move for the whole match, to altering your trajectory with fancy dodges). Ditto even older games like Street Fighter two, where Guile could "handcuff" opponents and leave them unable to fight back.
Youre looking at gaming history thru rose-tinted glasses, or simply not getting that its a different ballgame when multiplayer is involved. The fact that they can patch things so that you dont get dominated in every online match simply because you dont know the glitch du jour is wonderful.
Zimmerman got those injuries in response to provocative actions that he himself took. Simply losing a fight that you provoked doesn't give you the legal right to kill your opponent. It's a lot more complicated than that.
I assume you have proof, a reliable witness, or else a courtcase where that was decided by a jury to back you up?
Because self-defense is a widely recognized legal defense, and this new narrative totally tears apart the picture of "white on black unprovoked violence" that was pushed as the story for a while.

No, Im not.

Yes, but to get that download log you need access to the download server, yes (IanaITguy)?
Once you check that the file is offered by the site, you can get a warrant, and the operators will give you access.
And if that server doesn't keep logs for long
Lol.
or refuses to hand them over without a court order,
Which would be the first order of business.
Plus (at least in the EU) you have issues with data protection and privacy about access to that data.
Not an EU law expert, but Im guessing that doesnt apply to court orders / discovery.

Thats a page for programming, not basic desktop use. Note the "msdn".....

But findstr is no sed replacement - it can't do search and replace as far as I know.
And as we know, THIS is the reasons most home users prefer linux.

When the law came into effect, everyone shifted to direct download sites, which can't be tracked like torrents can.
You have that backwards. With direct-download, theres a very clear download log saying X downloaded from this server.
With torrent, that ISNT the case.

The hard drive you are working on right now produces a field strength of ~1T I believe. It just happens to be a rather small field :)

GP didnt, but the narrative of Zimmerman attacking Martin as initially reported WAS racially driven, as has been widely noted.
Noone has demonstrated ANY evidence that ZImmerman initiated a conflict, nor brandished his weapon, nor confronted Martin. Even hypothetically if he had confronted Martin, that would not justify an attack by Martin, and Zimmerman would remain jusitfied in defending himself.

But getting out of his car? That make him the threat.
What kind of fantasy world do you live in where getting out of your car entitles someone to attack you?

Shifting by 64 would result in uppercase letters like A turning into control characters and BELs.
