It just so happens I have a dreamcast next to a PS2. Believe me DOA2 on the PS2 is much better (high rez, more bounce and better flowing hair...) then the same dreamcast version.
Yeah I read that, but I didn't see anything about it being driven by Livid. Although being linux based I don't see why or why you couldn't make it use livid.
I've got a taisol cooler I got with my system - it really works well (was a pain in the but to get on the Abit KT7...). I've been using it with my Duron, but I've never read any reviews of it. My current system temperature is,
Duron 650 - 34 degrees celsius, and the chipset temp is 26 degress (active cooler on the chipset).
Yup - thats my point - and if were going to hold the record companies liable we should hold the movie companies liable too.
Its kinda funny though because in times past the record companies and movie companies have always said "no one made them do that". Well Napster not forcing pirate MP3's onto their network either.
But thats like asking the VCR companies to keep tabs on people pirating video tapes - and terminating the use of the player if it is used for illegal purposes (sounds like Divx actually).
Or asking microsoft to monitor people's e-mail in outlook express so that nothing illegal is discussed.
Or better yet - asking Slashdot to be responsible for its user comments content (in case you haven't heard they believe they aren't - see Slashdot vs. Microsoft...)
Personally to a certian extent I don't think software companies should be held responsible for the users actions. Is AOL or microsoft held responsible when someone uses their tools to make and distrobute child pornography? Or when the police pull you over for speeding or violating other traffic laws do you mail the ticket to car company complaining the whole way that they made the car was too quick?
I dunno - I guess what really matters here is intent.
The ethernet companies - because they allow you to copy mass amounts of pirate information is real time to your computer
The soundcard companies - because without them you wouldn't be able to listen to the pirated music
The Microprocessor companies - because they don't have some evil protection unit to prevent you from doing illegal things with your computer (hey wait - thats DVD)
RFC - because without all those friggin "protocols" you wouldn't be able to transfer the music in the first place
Microsoft - They make the OS that napster runs on for heavens sake
I guess my big beef with these more recent lawsuits is that if they do set a precident where is it going to end? Other the other hand does that mean we can sue the record company that makes songs about suicide because teenagers are getting depressed and suicidal?
Computer History Jobs (or history jobs in general)
on
Computer Historian?
·
· Score: 1
Take it from me - a lot history majors end up as lawyers or social workers. Most history majors these days end up in high schools teaching history (which is very cool) - but as far as government, or acedemic historians the ratio is like 1:60 - IE for every 1 job there's well over 60 applicants.
And hey there really isn't a field of historiography that involves computers. I think we need more of them!
Thats not necessarily the issue at hand. I don't want it for free, I just want to be able to use it without all the politics involved with it. You know - region codes, macrovision, css etc etc etc.
In a country that is supposed to be free there sure are a heck of a lot of restrictions on our freedom to use copyrighted works that we purchased. Maybe we should change our motto from "in god we trust" to "USA copyright 1776, all rights reserved.".
You should really read that book "Samurai from outer space" - by Atonia Levi - I took a course from this lady at PSU, and I had to read the book as a result. Its at most libraries etc, but it will open your eyes past anime that are all large breasted women.
You don't get it do you (and if you had read any of the links I gave you you'd know this) - there is no master list. Each engine is customized for the user and customer. And the computer using artificial intelligence figures all of this out on the fly. We do content grading to train the "neural network" computer (right now about 30 bad ass Linux systems) and to measure its accuracy. In a series of 1000 pages 900 of those pages were fed into the computer - the other 100 it guess using its own engine (and no list) - that where I get that 99% accuracy measurement...
All I'm talking about is using context clues (remember library skills?) in line with an advanced database system to produce better results then a meta-tag based key-word only system like everyone on this entire board is bitching and moaning about. Yes computers do just crunch numbers, but there are (I hope you would agree) systems that play games, and identify objects based on shape and other artificial intelligence systems that are capable of learning - or getting better at their job as they go along (just ask Deep Blue...).
And (again if you had read any of the links I had sent you etc etc) this system isn't only used for filtering internet traffic (although that is one of its uses) - its also used to catagorize web pages (useful for searching for stuff) and customize advertisements based on questions asked.
I don't develope the stuff - I could care less if we went out of business tommorow, but I have seen it in action and it does work! It is intelligent!
www.rulespace.com makes software that analyzes the web content on several rules - a breast cancer article might be hosted off a medicle related web site. If the filter can properly identify (which is usually does) the content of the host it then can make an educated guess on what the content of all the web sites are below the main page. There's a lot of other things too that it looks for as well, but its perfectly possible.
Mind you this is the only solution I believe that works like this. Most censorware/content evaluation systems are based on keyword and meta tags alone.
I dunno - I've been regrading content for rulespace. The meta-crawler grabbed maybe 10,000+ porn sites and I only found maybe 10 false positives (which were training it against). I think its very smart - and I've worked on dumber systems like Cyber Patroll and the like.
One thing your forgetting is that computers are designed to compute - we often forget that these things can do a lot if we put our minds to it and just design better software. I'll agree with you that its not 100% accurate, but, I think its a lot more accurate then most censor software out there.
You should read up on the rulespace system (www.rulespace.com) - I think you'll agree it doesn't quite work the same way as most filtering systems do. This system doesn't just allow for filtering, but also allows you to catagorize web sites intelligently, not just on meta tags alone.
The biggest reason why you probably haven't seen this in use in ISP's or Schools is because our primary client is currently big corperations. Sometime next year one of America's biggest ISPs will switch over to our system - then you'll get a chance to see it in action.
You really haven't see the rulespace filtering engine in action obviously. Most professional firms have found that in filtering porn that its at least 99% accurate - which is I might add more accurate then cyber patrol (and company). This system work - wether a school can afford it or not if up for grabs though.
Unlike keywork based systems this system evaluates content on a variety of factors like what the host sites content is all about its parent sites conente, what all the subsequent sites content is all about etc.
Thats why you use solutions that don't just rely on keyword blocking - like the system from rulespace (www.rulespace.com) - which is intelligent. For instance it considers the host site, content on the rest of the site, key words and various other systems for determining wether or not (on the fly btw...) the age group selected should be able to view the page.
For instance if you have a breast cancer research page - and its hosted off the American Medicle Association it will in fact recognize that fact and let you view the page.
Doesn't intel have a lot of money invested in Rambus? As far as I know (from stock quotes etc) Rambus is not an up and coming company so mabye that has something to do with it.
If they are going to make computer programers responsible for piracy of their so called intelectual property - we should make the movie studios responsible for their movies and what they lead to.
For instance everyone can at least think of a few interesting cases where some kid (or adult) emulated his or her favorite movie scene - or carried out something that was said in a song....
Or in other words we could hold them responsible for all acts of violence in the world today...
I used to work for a apple related computer shop called the Apple Tree (now out of business...) - anyhoo one day Apple send a letter asking us to cease and decist calling our shop the Apple Tree. We ended up changing our name to "Koalas Computers" - their loyalty to apple wasn't shaken however.
True story:)! - And this was before the internet got big:).
Slashdot Mirror
I suspect my friend who is adicted to this game won't think twice about the new rules and buy all their upgrades
It just so happens I have a dreamcast next to a PS2. Believe me DOA2 on the PS2 is much better (high rez, more bounce and better flowing hair...) then the same dreamcast version.

We could start making livid players and put the DVD CCA out of business :).
Duron 650 - 34 degrees celsius, and the chipset temp is 26 degress (active cooler on the chipset).
That may be why they don't have IP laws in places like Russia and China.
Its kinda funny though because in times past the record companies and movie companies have always said "no one made them do that". Well Napster not forcing pirate MP3's onto their network either.

What gets me about this though - is that they may be pocketing millions, but next year the'll annouce that tuitions are going up again.
What gives?

Why not just put the national debt there and hopefully it will show up missing.
