    meh, AT fields are over rated.

    Obviously you compress first then encrypt the compressed data not the other way around.

  3. I was going to give it a try.... on Games With A Purpose Help With Tasks That Tax Computers · · Score: 4, Informative

    I was going to give it a try, but it requires registration and I really just can't be bothered to register.

    The sim series of games was fun and at least somewhat educational as well.

    But they won't. They'll tell iTunes.comd or bbc.com "if you want your customers on our network to get more than 50k access to you, it'll cost you $10,000 a month"

  8. Re:Big deal? on Users Know Advertisers Watch Them, and Hate It · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Unless you are willing to pay for every site you visit, with this kind of attitude you'll run out of working sites pretty fast. The money has to come from somewhere, and few people are willing to pay it out of their own pocket.

    Reserved or sub-allocated.

  12. Re:This isn't the end.. on Courts Force Danish ISP to Block Torrent Tracker · · Score: 1

    Instead of spending time and money fighting it, they accepted it and put in a token level compliance.

    Certainly better than if they really tried to fight tpb and started blocking IPs or something. At least this way it's easy to work around without using slow proxies.

    Unless their is a physical divider the emergency vehicle can just drive on the other side of the road. That seems to be how they usually do it here.

    > The most troubling thing about the Smart are the fairly large odds it won't exist as a company in 3 years and parts will be hard to get/expensive (it hemorrhages money, and the forfour(which I really liked), and the passion were canceled.

    It's a devision of Mercedes-Benz so I don't think it's going anywhere. They may discontinue the line if they decide its unprofitable but the parent company will still exist to provide parts.

    ... but will they run Linux?

    I certainly don't want my car running Windows CE. If it can't keep my phone from crashing cars are out of the question.

    IIRC they do not play MP3. iTunes converts files from mp3 to AAC on the fly.

    Windows media player used to support quicktime.

    The support was removed in some service pack (windows 9x time I think) IIRC because apple sued them over it or something.

    It's a good thing Google has lots of money to lobby against this.

    On the other hand, now that they have a filtering system maybe they would support it to kill off all of the youtube clones that don't have the budget to make a filtering system.
