What about Obsessive boyfriends/girlfriends/s.o.?
Imagine -"Hey honey, you said that you were going out for some milk, but your coat shows that you were over at Bill's first for 2 hours and your clothes where left in the kitchen...".
What type of data is collected, and who collects it, etc. We really need to sit down and hash this one out.
(A little intro here: I am author of the Sega Genesis Programming FAQ from way, way back in the earily 90s -/not/ that it give me any addtional weight to my voice...)
What Sega is doing is attempting to protect their copyrights, as another poster pointed out already. I know for a fact that Sega moved their internal Genesis library over to an EMU a while back, since 4000 boxs and carts could be replaced by a single corporate server.
Anyways, to my point here; We should write to Sega and ask if they would be willing to release their older ROMs to the net either as a package deal for sale, or if they feel generous, as a free download.
What should NOT be done is an emu for the Dreamcast - and frankly, anything that is cutting edge right now. Give the companys a chance to make their money back on the system and bring us new and fun games to play. After two years then the I'd think that the system is fair game. (Same should be said on MAME as well).
Accually, I am rather happy here in Boston, but have you considered contacting WGBH's "This Old House"? Such a cross over would be of intrest to them I'm sure, and who knows what type of stuff they can bring into the mix (most of the stuff the homeowners buy is at a discounted rate).
I think that it's the scope of the copying which is being done, not the fact that it is. So, back in the 70s you had maybe 10 high schoolers copying a record to share around, you didn't really see that, even though there were those ten kids at each school. Now Napster comes along and these 10 plus ever other group go online, and suddenly you have 10 million people doing it, all localized. But, yeah, he who lives in a Glass House...
Have you really never heard of a small thing called ROBOTS.TXT which most search engines honor? If a site doesn't want to be indexed on a search engine, most will let them opt-out -- it's simply common courtesy.
Well you said it, most. Fact is quite a few just don't.
That's why I code. The mental challenge of creating a program which can do x, y, z just to see if it is possible. The best programs I have wrote are the smaller ones which just do one thing, like change the wallpaper every 5 mintues.
Did anyone else catch the line: The report proposes that services like Napster be required to collect identifiable and verifiable information from its users, such as addresses and credit-card information. -- Progressive Policy Institute. This one hand of the government saying to protect online privacy, now the other is saying be big brother for us! I think it's time to start bugging the hell out of my Senator/Representives.
Well, yes. One of the things that I have noticed while driving is that there is a good reflection from the driver and passenger seat, if you don't mind being vane. (grin) I *should* test this out with a photoslide and a flashlight and have a friend project the slide image to see what the best angle and location are. I will check out the cadillac system here in the near future in any case. When (and *if*) this does come to completion, I will Open Source the whole thing, and post a copy here. And thanks!
Actually I wonder if anyone is doing corporate espionage with VB scripting? Send an email to a competitor and have it send to an anonymous ftp server all the MS Office files it finds, and infect the rest of the office. Some inteligence could be used if there were titles used, so the program would look for Vice Presidents, CIO, CEO, etc. and grab from their access first. Heck, have it also resend the email to some hotmail account, and then delete the notices from the sent message folder.
Now image hooking this into something like worm net, and then letting it lose. Good grief, the damage would be in the billions.
Of course this really goes a long way in showing how some companies just don't get it, and rather not deal with (1) opposing views, or (2) something that is not in their control.
This is not even Etoy and Etoys type of case (were there was adult type images), but more in line of Veronica vs Archie Comics, where a father of a new born bought the domain name only to be sued by Archie Comics. (I just checked both Veronica.com and Betty.com and found that they both jump to Archiecomics.com - does anyone know what happened?). Someone should explain, in rather plain and simple English that sometimes a person's name might match a company's name.
I wonder if I were to start a company called Mattl which made auto parts if Mattel would sue me too?
Funny thought: Has Mattel taken legal lessions from the COS?
Hello, I have a question about how you have found the music business side of the industry, and contracts between the artist and the production company. We all know that contracts generally treat the music as a work for hire, which transfers the ownership / copywrite of the music to the company.
Has this changed as your act became more popular? Do you own your music?
Also, in which ways do you see technology changing the way music is bought and sold around the world (effectively making the world one market)?
How about some of new artist who would rather perform and allow their works to stand as art, and if they are payed for doing so, so be it? Do they get any recognition as an astist first, vs. the record company desiding what they think we want to hear?
And, finally, if you were starting out today as a new band, would you feel different about Napster?

A while back here in Boston there was a EFF fund raiser where I and a bunch of other people gave nearly $10k. That's why EFF can hire high power lawyers. Accually, I'm sure that some of the lawyers are doing this also pro bono/pro se because they believe in the cause of the Constitution too.
Philip, I attended your 2 day leture at MIT back in the beginning of April, and I must say that while you are a good speaker, you tend to think that your view is right just because you think it's right and then dismiss other people's views for not being yours. For example, you state that the web should be educational, which to a degree we all agree, but when you started to trash a site in your speach (some car site), for not being an encylopdia on automotives! That's going a bit far! There is room for all types of sites on the web, both those which do teach (which is great), and those that sell and educate the user about the copmany and product only (like 99% of all 'dot com' sites right now).
About your idea for ARSUniversity, which I will have to agree that it should be called ARSTradeschool. How would you handle those with learning disabilities or other handicaps which would like to attend?
Finally, about yourself. I think that you have become what you hate the most in others in the computer industry, overly selfcentered. You 'hate' Bill Gates because he is such a strong personallity, which anyone who has talked with you knows that you are very much the same! We have seen the face of our enemy, and he is ourself. Hey, check out my photos too!
As a camera geek as well as a computer geek, I can say that I rather have film over most ditigal solutions at this point. The only digial solution that I have even considered is a digital back for my Mamiya 645, which would shoot 128mb images right to a 10gig HD. This setup would / could easily cost more than my car. It's image resolution, and film as someone else put it, near 1000 LPI, which on a 35mm (3.5cm / 2.54 = 1.377 inches) offers 1377 lines of image resolution. The best 35mm solution is the Nikon N90 with Kodak's digital back which costs nearly $18,000 new. I have yet to see one of these machines listed used. Stick with either Kodak's Royal Gold 100 & 400, or Fuji's 100 & 400, play with Kodak's CM-41 for BW photography (very nice, & have the red lens filter for outdoors!) and you will rarely go wrong. Use photo.net to learn, and shop at B&H Photo for your equipment.
Well I dont know how many/.ers where at this party that IBM held at the Atlas Bar and Grill her in Boston, nor how many stayed to listen to him speak. I was there, and I did ask a question (how does your apps comair to StarOffice? Ans: Ours are Free with the source, their is more akin to free beer). From that I gathered from his speech was that he was (1) gathering the best ideas from other OSes and added those features into GNOME, and that (2) Easel (?) will be taking over the desktop fuctions. Easel, for those who don't know is a company founded by a bunch of the orginal MAC OS designers, which is a very good thing - a real team of experts who understand the Human Interface just about better than anyone else. (Side: I do wish that IBM would port OS/2 Work Place Shell to Linux - old favs die hard). As for the demo? Rather neat, but nothing that anyone who has been around hasn't seen before (OpenDoc, OLE, COM). Inspiration comes from many places, and a good idea is still a good idea (even if it is excuted half asses).
Ah, Pelican makes cases for carring things, not putting them up on a pole somewhere... Accually I own four of them for my cameras, and yes, they are as good as they claim.
The best way to beat the system is to make all the monitoring tools public. Anyone could check their records at anytime, and have a fully disclosed report.

At work we have an Epson LCD projector, and it works with the Sun laptops, and a Dell laptop with Linux on it.
So I know they do work.
Nope. That was on the 4 pack game, as a joke/homage to the Beatles, which is were Number 9 got their name from too.
