It sounds entirely possible to a lot of other nutcases like you. Guess what, they are marketing it to you! In other times this would be known as quackery. This is what happens if you let merketeers work unguarded by sane people.
The ONLY reason the OS zealots want Sun to release the JLS into their greasy little fingers is so they can destroy WORA by creating a million forks of the core language and call them all Java.
Nonsense. How many forks of the linux kernel are you aware of? Branding things with some name can be protected with trademarks, that is what they are for. If somebody still forks (and puts a lot of effort in it), that is just an indication the direction/leadership of -in casu- SUN was not good enough. Better leadership would have secured that investment into their codebase.
I guess Sun's directors consider themselves not good enough?
All important browsers are open source now. But i still have to see an annoucement that BT is now incorporated into browser X as a protocol. heck, you could probaly do it with one library and some implementation details in the browsers, as most are written in C or C++.
Just a protocol just like http:// ie bt:// that delivers the content to the browser for display.
Maybe this will solve the slashdot effect. (oh wait no, it won't. most slashdot readers betray their geekness and still use IE, the browser that has not seen maintance sine 2000. This will maybe get them over the line; free porn directly in your browser)
every smart video/dvd retal shop will have a special section for customers that need this special drm media. Those customers will be pampered with dree manicures and whatnot. You can also find the bridges for sale in that section, waiting for the most discerning customer that by pure coincidence bought a drm restricted crapplayer.
The country you live in is your problem, not the problem of any technology. You (as in the collective you and your fellow countrymen) had the chance to stop your country in this respect, and you didn't. dont whinge about it
As for the legal grounds: You cannot know what is on your share of freenet space, that has bee specifically build into it. Therefore you cannot be held responsible for it. (if) There is stenographicaly hidden child porn in the bible or some other book, can you be held responsible for that if you just own the book for reading it? The aiding and abetting argument needs to be specific, otherwise you can be held responsible for any chain of events that leads to any crime. (like giving to a beggar: he may use that money to buy a gun and shoot the liquor store owner he is robbing. Are you in any way responsible for that crime?)
If you choose no to support freenet because of the chilporn, that is your own free will to decide. But don't go hiding behind legal argument that don't hold water, or labeling other people as criminals because of same flawed arguments.
It will not allow a developer to check in code that breaks things, you can fully attribute your code (who did what) and it will make you a happy bunny in general. If you don't want to be a happy bunny in a general that is fine too.
Not that this program could compete in any way with either the gimp or photoshop, but the author touches on a painfull point for the gimp: It is too steep a learning curve to learn how to use the gimp, most of that knowledge is not transferable to other programs. In other word the interface just sucks, you have to invest much time in it and then you still are working with a bland unintinutive interface. It is about pictures right? why don't I see any when searching all those confusing menu's?
The gimp is one of those few programs that make me sream at the computer. I don't care how much you can do with it if i cannot find out/remember how to do it!
Copyright has nothing to do with property. Property is tangible, copyrights are not. Intelectual property does not exist, it is spin thought up by those who profit from it. And it seems you (and a lot with you) have fallen like a log for it. Infringing copyrights is not theft. It is time for the distribution media to reinvent themselves instead of trying to make laws against technology.
but it is not the trackersd themselved that are pulled down. It is the aggegration sites that index new releases and point to trackers. these are like the boys on the corner telling you where to find the real thugs.
I only got some ad for FREE microsof security products (sewage odorizers?) here is the complete article:)
WEP: Dead Again, Part 1
by Michael Ossmann
last updated December 14, 2004
Introduction
This article is the first of a two-part series that looks at the new generation of WEP cracking tools for WiFi networks, which offer dramatically faster speeds for penetration testers over the previous generation of tools. In many cases, a WEP key can be determined in seconds or minutes. Part one, below, compares the latest KoreK based tools that perform passive statistical analysis and brute-force cracking on a sample of collected WEP traffic. Next time, in part two, we'll look at active attack vectors, including a method to dramatically increase the rate of packet collection to make statistical attacks even more potent.
Is WEP that bad?
Many security folks and even more wireless folks these days are saying that WEP isn't all that bad. They say that if you use modern equipment that filters weak Initial Vectors (IVs) and change your keys frequently (or at least once in a while), nobody will ever crack your WEP. Sure, maybe some next-generation WEP attacks will arise one day that will change everything, but WEP is okay today for all but the most sensitive networks. Well, that next-generation is already here, heralded by highly functional tools that make WEP look weaker than Barney Fife on guard duty, sleeping on the job.
Let's take a look at some of the new tools that should be in every penetration tester's bag of tricks, rather then delving into the details of why the various attacks work. Time and time again, the industry has shown that it will not reject broken security safeguards until attacks are actually demonstrated in the real world. Here's how to quickly turn some heads.
The way things were
Since the summer of 2001, WEP cracking has been a trivial but time consuming process. A few tools, AirSnort perhaps the most famous, that implement the Fluhrer-Mantin-Shamir (FMS) attack were released to the security community -- who until then were aware of the problems with WEP but did not have practical penetration testing tools. Although simple to use, these tools require a very large number of packets to be gathered before being able to crack a WEP key. The AirSnort web site estimates the total number of packets at five to ten million, but the number actually required may be higher than you think.
The first caveat to this old approach is that only encrypted packets count. As wireless access points transmit unencrypted beacons several times per second, it is easy to be fooled into believing that you have a larger number of useful packets than you really do. If you use Kismet for network discovery and sniffing, it breaks down the packet count for you, displaying the number of "Crypted" packets separately from the total number, as shown below:
Figure 1. Kismet in action.
The second thing working against your packet collection efforts is that only certain "interesting" or "weak" IVs are vulnerable to attack. Kismet also tells you how many of these have been gathered, although it may not use the same counting method as the various cracking tools. To make matters more difficult, wireless manufacturers responded to the FMS attack by filtering out the majority of weak IVs that their access points and wireless cards transmit. Unless your target network is using old equipment, chances are you'll have to collect no less than ten million encrypted packets to crack a WEP key using these older tools.
In early 2002, h1kari released a tool called dwepcrack (part of the bsd-airtools package) that improved upon the existing implementations of the FMS attack. Although dwepcrack did a good job of advancing the practical implementation of statistical WEP cryptanalysis, its improvements were only incremental.
from the article: "It wasn't until January that one of us finally thought of a way to carry on with hacking the bike [...] The next few weeks [...]" So they have been riding these bikes for free for the last ~10 months, and now while the the bikes are back for maintainance, they reveal that some are hacked (and should be reflashed)
All in all I'd say it is a fair trade-off. they reveal a bug in the system (IP-protection bit not set) and ride a bike for free once in a while. They don't reveal the backdoor code, so it is not like everybody and their dog can get a free ride.
While it doesn't do much wrong (and therefore does something right because you think it will) but the reasoning is complete and utter bullshit. The amount of pesticides on fruit will not tax your liver, or peel the fruit if you don't trust it. Fresh apple juice will erode your teeth because of it's acidity. the enzymes in fresh juice do nothing to digest it, and antibiotics do not destroy your immune system. The basic advise (get good food and some time outside) is ok, but the reasoning is totally off.
[...] With talented people now forced to investigate potential issues,[...]
No they are not. With this silly triple damages if you knew about it, people will stay the hell away from doing patent research. Some people may decide to use the services of patent attornies, but these are not talented, except in ripping of people.
The (US) patent system is only good for lawyers. they will be 7861st against the wall when the revolution comes.
Why bother with something so boring and of such low impact. Go with the high impacting rifle ammunition and make politics a game of high stakes. It is a good American tradition to shoot unfavorable political leaders, why shouldn't you be doing that in your own country? I really hope there is a freightship underway right now with a cargo of shortrange nuclear missles to pop off when babyBush steals the elections again. I really hope too, that they will turn around the day after tommorrow...
Please get rid of your current president, any way is good enough for me.
nmea is not spoken on rs232 but a more obscure rs variant, i believe it is rs434. You can directly connect most GPS's to most rs232 serial ports because these ports also work out of spec, ie with a lower voltage. Yup just nitpicking really.
Although it is a very nice game to play, esp the JSettlers version, this is no game you can master in a sense that when master, you win all games. You won't even win most games if you are playing experienced people (and you won't win when playing against me;) The dice play a much to big role in this game, so most just depends on luck. It is a nice passtime, but don't think it was all your work when you've won a game.
This obviously is a checklist item, designed to satisfy some beancounter that his beloved office will pass the new requirement at first glance. The move to counter this one is to make a whole lot of 'office software purchase requirement lists' to help gouvernment pencilheads to make a requirements list. The wording in each item is plausible, but designed to exclude closed source products. With the help of all OSS suporters, these will come up on top in google. Supporters with too much cash can buy adwords for them.
I remember a can made for guinness(sp?) that had a little nitrogen capsule in it. That was a good coolant (expansion of gas etc) and it mimicked the process of puring guinness from a tap, which is done with part nitrogen too(something with a glass full of froth). If you don't like guinness, this was not for you as the nitrogen does not combine with other beers.
really suprised to see this one. I expected some gory detail of some indecent sort inside the description, but none of that! great. too bad I am not too interested in laborious recipies, but thanx all the same.

Go Folkert! Your site is still standing, so lets wait and see what happens when your story hits the frontpage ;-)
they should have named it babylon 6 if they wanted 6 episodes. It would only have spread out the inspiration of the screenwriters 20% more.
Is there some magical frosty piss detection filter?
Well on topic then:
Why should I care, i never watch tv anymore, more time to play!
first post?
a fine tradition

Kudos to them I say!
from the sequence of the screenshots, I'd say it is the receipt code that you get when you return the bike.
