Well if that's how the CEO feels perhaps Sony can get itself off of the internet. Sony doesn't like it? Sony doesn't have to use it.
Sony has 92 thousand Ip's, we have a IP shortage and 92 thousand ip's could be used by those that actually a respect for the internet and what it's done for the world.
What's a matter Mr CEO, don't like things that don't buy you another gulfstream?
Thanks for another hollywood slashdot post. I can now remove the slashdot rss feed from my sites. Enough is enough is enough with the crap that isn't related to what Slashdot is suppose to be about. It's all hollywood propaganda now!
Why do these articles continue to be popping up? Slashdot is described as this "Source for technology related news with a heavy slant towards Linux and Open Source issues." Now what in the world does irans nuclear program have to do with Technology? Unless SlashDot is designed around talking about warfare technology, another wasted post.
Yeah not sure why this is on SlashDot. Been see'ing more and more of these types of articles on SlashDot lately. What's next cooking recipes with Emeril?
Not sure why this article is on slashdot. I do agree as far as not billing this person is concerned. Nobody enjoys wasteful spending. The US government is the king in wasteful spending. The war in iraq is a perfect example. Asides from the whole WMD thing, we're still fronting the bill for the situation over there and iraq hasn't paid a dime for any of our help. What do you think it costs to have our guys over there? If I was the widow in this case, i'd just say, once the iraq's pay for the US militarys service, i'll pay for this search bill.
It's not all that surprising. Everyday our government (the americans) is trying to impede in on the internet. Anytime our government trys to get it's greedy hands on something it ruins it. None of the governmental programs we have function correctly, we're a country in debt beyond anyones wildest dreams, so having a crippled internet is not surprising. We don't have an economy, a trade imbalance beyond anything, goverment that does whatever it wants, the corporations run the country and with the types of corporations we have, nobody needs enemys.
I have friends also in other countries and they always say how better things are getting on the internet. Where I live comcast is peddling slower speeds just to get you online. I had 20mbit at one time, they sent out advertisements saying "we're doing this for free", now im right back down where I started from, 8mbit, and the bills just keeps going up.
Not really sure if this thread belongs in this post however I do agree.
Ever since I seen a live metallica show video years and years ago showing the band begging the audience to rip their songs to share (this was back in the cassette days with 'kill em all' I said to myself, if it was good enough for them before they became famous, it should be good enough for them once they achieved that success. Not metallica though, once they hit it back, they hit back.

Sorry, have to jump in here. San Francisco values? What are San Francisco values? Homosexual S&M parades, a mayor that nails office aids then they lose their jobs? A sanctuary city for bums and illegals? I'm trying to find the values here:) I guess if your a die hard leftest San Francisco is awesome.
Maybe where you live in the US. But where I live in the US, there is no headlight enforcement. The higher-end cars all use those HID lights that are brighter the anything on the road, blind you whenever the slightest dip in the road is hit by them coming at you, and these light configurations are stock on vehicles. It is illegal however for me to put those same lights on a car I already own that didn't come with it. Cops probably wouldn't pull you over for it, but if an inspection garage in my state discovers them not to be original equipment, the inspection can fail.
I've been against these brighter headlights since day one, and industry does whatever it wants to.
The.au is weak, a softball bat is a weapon to those people.
I have to quote this, "One has to wonder if this hacking attempt was government sponsored or not" You have to wonder if it's government sponsored or not? Last time I checked, the Chinese government only allows things to happen, that they want to happen. Your not going to be a wild rebel in China and live for it, unless it's something the communists want, that's for sure!
And who cares about cnn?:)
wait wait wait, before the government impedes on yet another failed government venture, can one point out to me what government programs have actually worked? Social security is in the toliet, medicare is set to go belly up this year, nothing they do is right, and they want to do more? This is like having an employee at your company that just fails at everything he does, maybe it's not his fault, but sooner or later you have to make a decision, let him go or keep him aboard and let the company fall apart. The US Government has absolutely no position in trying to monitor p2p traffic.
The FBI offers the end user absolutely no help when it comes to internet problems, such as hacks, and attacks. None what-so-ever. Sure they will help the large companies when they get ddos'd, but you try getting help from them. This is equal to your local police department doing nothing but arresting people all the while doing nothing to protect the community, only there to "police" and not "serve".
amen, this is the true story here. It's just like the whole ip scare a few years ago, OH NO WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF IPS!!!!! Well here we are, 2008, still have plenty of isps, arin which serves the US IP space is as big and rich as ever. In fact ip sales have grown so much that back during the "ip scare" arin would sell the typical individual 256 ip's, now they only deal in 700+ ip orders per individual/company. If they're able to go from 300 to 700, obviously, theres no shortage of ip's, just a way to redistribute the wealth system since you can only buy ip's from one place.
You know i've often almost came to this wrong conclusion myself, that we would eventually eat up the internet because everyones running at blazing fast speeds. However as long as the infrastructure keeps up with it, this will never happen, one just has to wonder if the isps will use this as another way to throttle and slow people down that buy into this just like they buy into our cars are destroying the planet, maybe al gore can step aboard and encourage slowing down the internet.
He did create it, after all:)
How can you say this is okay for non-existant domains? Do these isps claim ownership of the internet and dns system? Network administrators have to act responsibly knowing that once you put a network online with the rest of the internet, you do your best to cooperate with the rest of the network. Thus you don't go playing god with the dns system.
I guess I can compare this to our current telephone system. Say your calling a company for help, but you mis-dial one of the numbers, everyone does it. What if competing companies purchased these similar numbers, pretended to be the company your calling, then redirected you to a portion of their business that serves the same industry.
These isps didn't create the internet, they've only added strain to it, they act like governments within themselves where they come on, monopolize the industry, then do whatever they want because they own everything, especially verizon since they own backbone infrastructure!
amen, it's just like over in the US though. You have two choices
DSL (Verizon)
Outsourced tech support, no local office, slow speeds, unreliable service, even after talking to their tech support the best answers they can usually offer are to exchange the equipment.
Cable (comcast)
US based tech support, fast speeds, very reliable, local office, local office in case items need exchanged, only had to call them probably twice in 4 years.
So if the UK market is anything like the US market, boycotts are fine, when you have a choice.
I have to say that im ignorant when it comes to French healthcare. After doing a google on it I found the following to be rather amusing.
"In France, health insurance is a branch of the Social Security system. It is funded by workersâ(TM) salaries (60 percent of the fund), by indirect taxes on alcohol and tobacco and by direct contribution paid by all revenue proportional to income"
Isn't it an oxymoron to have "healthcare programs" funded by tobacco and alcohol profits? Over here in the US, we've already made the connection between booze/smoking & your health. People that don't smoke are in general, better healthy and more productive. If France does what this article does, and only grants it to it's Citizens, it's one step ahead of the US in many ways, over in the US, healthcare goes to everyone, citizen or not.
Not from the police videos i've seen, it maybe limited to certain areas, but I do know the majority of.au citizens aren't permitted to defend themselves with firearms.
As far as I can remember your not allowed to own a firearm in the.au, it's a widespread failed gun ban that's resulted in the crime the.au has. Maybe all of the police aren't dis-armed but i've seen some.au police video footage showing.au cops getting pummled on the street because they weren't able or didn't have firearms to do the job, I figured this was because of the great.au gun ban.
I didn't say Ebay won't accept other forms of Payment. I said they won't work with them. Meaning if you run into a problem, and you paid with that type of transfer (non-paypal) your stuck.
*giggles* hey ebay isn't the only ones using the.au as a testing ground. The.au has been a testing ground for alot of things, such as being dis-armed. We see all the good that has done watching the police videos with the cops being kicked around because they can't even defend themselves. As much as I hate paypal, I do find it useful when everything works. However when issues arise you might as well forget it. Paypal is still the best form of Payment to use on Ebay since it's all interconnected. Using another method of payment on ebay is generally alot of wasted time since ebay won't work with other processors.
Maybe you aren't hip to how google operates. Google openly censors information from all their services for their management. You aren't going to find anything about google executives on the engine that they do not want listed. Now try getting the same respect from google for yourself. I've personally wrote into google to remove or at least look at outright slander and personal attacks and they don't do anything.
You won't find the streetview cars rolling through the driveways of google executives, that's all I was saying, and it's not because they aren't being chosen, it's because they HAVE THEIR PRIVACY:)
I think the points being thrown aside here. Im not a big fan of the state or government running my life. Im not a big fan of having to go to the state to say hey is it ok to make my property private, then run to the ADA to make sure the blind can read my signs. Get real, I don't know how things are in SC, but common sense logic tells you not to wander onto peoples property. I still think this is wrong, do people that read slashdot always trespass on peoples property just because? How would you feel to always have people in your yard or taking pictures of your house? Once it's on google everyone can see it. I think google is wrong here, and needs to retract ANY images that homeowners do not want shown of their property. I'll change my tune here when the management of google allows all their property and pictures to be posted on streetview. Also when you put a beware of dog sign up and someone gets bit in the a** by your dog, all you have to do is say didn't you see that sign? If the person bit in the a** is blind, I don't think the courts are going to say you should of had a talking sign out front.
The bottom line here is, just like everything else google does, they feel they can do whatever they want. For the most part they have, they utilize our air force bases to use as their personal airports, a task that has been requested by multiple good faith organizations and denied denied denied, money talks and google has it, with the right amount of money in this country, you can do whatever you want. No im not anti-capitalist, I do know what a respect for ones property means and google doesn't have it, the only privacy google respect is the privacy of it's management which it censors from the engines. Im also sorry to hear that SC allows salesmen to trespass on property to market items. One has to assume that SC has no property taxes, it wouldn't be fair for the residents to have to pay a property tax without the salesmen also pitching in to help maintain the property, after all if that salesman falls and breaks an ankle, who's he gonna sue?
As a Pennsylvania resident I agree with those that have sued Google Inc. When a sign says private, it means just that. This is however only after knowing if this road is maintained by the tax payers or if it's in fact a private road. If it's a private road unmaintained by the tax payers, then Google had no right venturing on it, just like they have no right using our tax based air forces bases to fly their airplanes out of. If this is however a taxpayer funded/maintained road, then that sign has no bearing and Google had every right to photograph while on it.
I do disagree with this venture by google, even on public streets. Google openly censors information (about it's management) and about other countries. They shouldn't take advantage of the laws we have here by being able to openly photograph everything when they also respect the laws of other countries that tell them to stay out. If yahoo didn't suck so bad I wouldn't use google at all:)
When cable companies first came to power, as was told to me by my grandfather who worked closely with a mayor of one town (when cable was just starting) the system was designed to prevent the current situation that we have where companies such as comcast, have the monopolies they do. While owning multiple businesses isn't a bad thing, you can see here how blatently Comcast disrespects the FCC.
I don't agree with alot our government does, I think we need less instead of more governmental regulations. However, as a comcast customer myself it angers me that some people eat up bandwidth the way they do, and I pay the same price they do. Regardless of what they are doing, it's the amount of usage that bothers me. Why should I pay the same price as someone that's constantly using up as much as comcast will let you, (in general 500GB/month).
Comcast is trying to appear bigger then the government, I hope the FCC nails them to the wall and comcast shuts down, let's break up these monopolies, they can't have it both ways, they can't cherry-pick which laws they want to be exempt from.
If they want to stop p2p (as comcast has denied doing all along) then they are regulating traffic. If they are going to regulate traffic, then they need to be responsible for the traffic that passes across their network. So now they should be responsible for the illegal file trading that is on their network that exists through other non-p2p means. Also every other illegal thing done through comcast should leave comcast fully responsible, you can't have it both ways comcast.
