Well, I didn't say it was the same, just that it is a possibility.
And am aware that people who formerly worked at places such as Google (especially) and IBM would most likely have a better understanding of how a large-scale system like this works.
But, Google itself (along with a lot of other major internet/software/hardware companies) were started in a 'grass roots'/garage/basement method.
It seems to me that more often than not, bringing in the help of (formerly employees of) large corporations tends to conform them to that previous corporation, even if its not intentional.
Not that it doesnt happen in smaller ones, "back when I used to work for [...], we did it this way..."
To argue against myself on your behalf though, having someone from a larger corporation, can be benificial aswell, because they may have been fired, or quit because the larger corporation wasn't listening to them, or was doing something in a way that went against their ideology, thereby possibly preventing said smaller company from becomming similar to the larger one.
My main concern is that it will lean towards the former though, rather than the latter.
No offence to the people at Twitter, and maybe not the people who recently migrated there. But am I alone in being hesitant to welcome people who formerly worked at IBM, et al, and even Google?
Granted, they seem to more directed at the physical performance of the system, but I see this as somewhat of an inroads to having large companies control how Twitter works, and I would much rather have some no-name 'genius' from a basement come and work for them, than people who could (possibly) be 'tainted' by how a large coproration works and handles things, and what friends, they may have (who married into, etc)
I appreciate Twitter, and what it allows for (much like WikiLeaks, or even Slashdot), But I just find having big boys come in and having control over something thats (potentially, and already has been) so useful.
Shouldnt anyone eligable (ie: those with +1, or +2) have been given at least 1 Mod Point so they could be included in the vote?
Which, is probably not possible with the current point system, but maybe in the future you could alot eligable people a mod point on a specific topic/poll/etc.
Sort of like (forget the proper name) those book/novels...
Turn To Page: 118 If You Want To Fight The Dragon
Turn To Page 67 If You Want To Run Away.
but envolving text messages, and other forms of voting, then the in-game player(s) have to abide by the vote, and fight the dragon, or not. This way the player, can make decisions, aswell as the audience to advance the game.
(sort of a redundant explanation, but had to comment anyways)
If I had mod points. (it wouldnt do any good since envoled in the conversation) +1 Interesting, anyways.
Although Dell wasnt the first to do so, it is still generally a good idea, because serial numbers, and other tags, can easily be swapped/removed.
But it's not perfect, given that if someone manually typed out the document, and removed all spelling mistakes, or even created new ones, the system fails, likewise, if someone was "in the know" about the scheme, they could essentially impersonate another (rival) employee, and it would be very hard to prove they weren't the ones who leaked it.
Actually, they should have comedies every tenth episode or something, in-line with Red Vs Blue, etc... "FTW HAX!!!"... people walking through walls, flying... and outtakes, take the best glitches from the game, and re-create them in real-life.
Given that people in general love to feel "famous", and given the popularity of MMO, this could at least be highly lucrative as far as a business goes, however, the quallity of such a combination remains to be seen. Depending on the "plot" of the show and game, I could see this being quite entertaining, especially for those envolved or even if you know someone envolved.
Combining the millions made on MMO's, and the millions made on stuff like 'American Idol'... i'd say the chance of this making money, is pretty high.
If someone is using an encrypted connection/transfer, then its obvious they are doing something, and also trying to keep it hidden, whereas, if they were to carry out a normal transmition, but have the "secret" part of it hidden in this, someone looking, would see a normal interaction and possibly skip over the noise.
You could also have an encrypted message, that also requires data from the steganographic 'noise' and vice versa to become usable data, that way if one is "caught" its still useless data unless both are "caught"...
I'd have to disagree, they are already making cameras and even just lazers, that track your face and facial movements to do those things, which is far less intrusive (by my understanding) than wearing a headband sort of thing, safer, perhaps, more enjoyable? probably not.
The OP was simply saying he got in fights over who could use the line for telephone, and who could use the line for internet on a 56K modem.
Not that he got 56K out of his modem.
But argueing against that, I ocasionally had 96K (bursts, lasting about 15 seconds) out of my 56K (USRobotics v.92), ie: 12 kilobytes a second rather than 7 kilobytes a second (Telus dial-up, on brand new phone lines around 2002) and almost a perminent 7kb/s (donwload).

Although that may have been written as of 5 minutes ago... plus the FBI isnt exactly notorious for accomplishing things in any sort of justified, or timely manour, and may very well side with MediaDefender.
Well, I wrote out this giant rant, basically summed up as "they are just idiots without foresight"... but then I got lost in a web tangent about fibre-optics, and stumbled across this...

I think MiniNova is already trying (by force) to "clean up their act".
... They plan on moving ISPs from the US to Canada"
ISOHunt, was already "attacked" by organizations, which is a "friend" of MiniNova
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/17/1354247&from=rss
"...that the move [shutdown] came from their ISP without prior notice
I for one, welcome our new torrent tracker to Canada. (if they have or still plan on moving here)
uh... "kind of scary" (to finish my sentence)

Seconded.
All the more reason to try (from a Governments/**AA perspective)
If anything, the reboundning of TPB made even more organizations aware of how much a problem they are. (according to them, not me)
No I understand that, but if its already been listed, how do you vote? by commenting on it?
"I vote for this"?
seems most of the duplicate votes (ie: WikiLeaks) is being modded redundant, does that get included?
Is someone (many?) going to read through all the comments to tally "I vote for this"?
Shouldnt anyone eligable (ie: those with +1, or +2) have been given at least 1 Mod Point so they could be included in the vote?
Which, is probably not possible with the current point system, but maybe in the future you could alot eligable people a mod point on a specific topic/poll/etc.

By that logic, we might both be Twitter, considering his nack for replying to himself.

Ouch, low blow.
You are abolutely right, however, you forgot that I may have multiple accounts, and may be sending messages across more than just Slashdot.
You would have to know all my accounts, on all forums, plus know the method to decipher the data.
Muahaha.
Yeah thats what I got from it aswell.
If someone is using an encrypted connection/transfer, then its obvious they are doing something, and also trying to keep it hidden, whereas, if they were to carry out a normal transmition, but have the "secret" part of it hidden in this, someone looking, would see a normal interaction and possibly skip over the noise.

Nor a secret for that matter.
It's not a sectret anymore now is it?
