But it also means, all your sweat stays INSIDE... BAD idea...
It can't be as bad being completely painted gold.:D
I won't dispute any medical issues from being submerged in your own sweat -- IANAD. They did seem similar to me, however. The article did not mention if the waterproofing was one-way or both.
If we're required to do blocking and monitoring, the BU defense won't hold, because we'll have the data.
I wonder what kind of ridiculous fine structure or penalties there will be for not logging what you monitor?
How about a well documented disk failure event on the file system containing all the logs? "Sorry, Your Honor, we logged everything, and then the disk failed."
Are we going to be legislated into complete backup strategies? I doubt it.
I think the Senate/Obama stance is that bad business models can be allowed to fail (See GM, Ford, Chryseler). It that holds true, the business model of the RIAA/Big 4, which was a sinking ship before Sep08, will certainly have some scrutiny before legislation. Couple that with overwhelming projections of a poor buying season, and I can't see how the RIAA has much of a leg to stand on here.
Protip: In most places you would be charged as an accessory in that case. Unless you can prove they stole it. At the very least you could get charged with negligence.
This is flat out bullshit. Criminally, It doesn't matter if the car was stolen or borrowed.
This analogy is bad, because it's relatively simple to determine who the operator of the car is (spoofing cars is really hard), where it is not so easy to peer through the ether and see who using a PC, or even if that PC is the one you think it is.
I just find it kind of ironic that people are willing to gamble with a random deck of cards, yet unwilling to overlook the smallest risk of a rigged deck.
Since you discuss the online vs brick/mortar differences. Your final comment is even more profound, imho.
I just find it kind of ironic that people are willing to gamble with a random deck of cards, yet unwilling to overlook the smallest risk of a rigged deck.
I think its far more likely for an online deck in poker or multi-deck blackjack to be more (dare I say truly?) randomized than a manual shuffle based on super fast CPU crunched RNG's.
At the end of the day, the number of hands are finite, but it's a really big number for a single 52 card deck.
I found that in Hold'em, there are 1326 possible starting hands and in Stud, 2,598,960 possible. Source1. Source2.
Or if not, pay attention next week to the auto bailout.)
Is anyone worried or concerned that Barney Frank is charge of writing this? IIRC, he was was one of, if the biggest proponents of Fannie/Freddie, and sought deregulation which got us into this "Wall street, no banker left behind" payout mode in the first place.
You're a fool if you think that when a president of differing opinion gets into office, they simply cut everything the prior president had going.
If the point of voting for a non-incumbent did not have hope (yes, I said hope, naively in fact:P) that the policies, and programs of the party you didn't like would stay, there would be no real point in voting either way.
Unfortunately, most politicians don't fully understand all the nuances of a project or program when they scream "change" at a pre-election podium, before getting the job. There is probably a subset that are just fucking liars, in it for themselves.
When critical legislation is hampered by the number of sweeteners the 700b payout required, its a clear sign the people in charge have no idea what they are doing. A relatively straightforward "help the CDS, and the banks" bill couldn't go forward without wool research, race track tax breaks, and whatever was needed to buy votes to help American, and by proxy, World economies.
The outcome is a well known circumstance of elections, and thats how there are cases where incumbents are elected to subsequent terms. Nobody ever calls these people out (or votes them out) for their failure to accomplish the very things they 'promised'. See: Ted Kennedy as an example.
Solution: shorter terms, real short term limits, and an average will foster, instead of these wild left to right (or vice versa) swings of power and intention.*
* Unless the right or left is actually productive.
Unlike blackjack, many of the poker variants pay better the more hands you can 'play'. Slow shufflers ruin my hand/hour numbers, and subsequently my $/hour.
How many people were actually a victim of this exploit?
IIRC, it wasn't just the shares that were affected by the port 139 holes.
I'm pretty sure port 139 was abused in very large numbers for silly IRC channel pissing matches. Sending a few hundred 'winnukes' was easier than splitting EFnet, and largely just as effective, except the larger #'s.
but the one thing they did right was ensure that our space programs kept runnin'.
Aside from tang, foam beds, and some other inventions; why is space exploration 'right'?
I'm not necessarily opposed to space exploration, but I am beginning to question whether or not that money could be better spent maintaining our first planet (Country/State/etc), rather than looking for another to screw up.
In short, I'm beginning to think that solving problems for other planets may not be so important, given some of the present problems facing us.
Unless, of course, the plan is to bounce to Mars and start new.;)
The people/government of a country are PLANNING ahead. I sincerely, and emphatically applaud them.

"The Maldives will begin to divert a portion of the country's billion-dollar annual tourist revenue to buy a new homeland as insurance against climate change.
Too bad the dipshits in New Orleans can't rip a page out of this foresight and brilliance.
I read this article a while back, and decided to opt-out of the AV hassles.
Between backups, automated installs, and some really simple things you can do to minimize infections, I find AV to be more 'in-the-way', than not.
I do things like disabling MS macros, java, popups, vbscript, etc... I use adblock/noscript. I've had to rebuild a few times, sure, but I don't consider a rebuild to be a huge timesink. I have all my game/app settings on a CD, so its not real hard.
Disclaimer: I only use Windows to play games on, primarily. My situation may not fit corporate standards or grandma/grandpa usage. I'm pretty sure corps use ADS or some such, and I have no intention of putting a boot server in my Mother's house, so there is that drawback which may make it worthwhile for some to use AV.
MS had an interesting suggestion regarding which AV vendor to choose.
All in all, AV seems to take more time, and cause more problems (even simple ones) than its worth, never mind the expense. YMMV.

The "Enjoy" link 404'd. This one works, for me anyways.
let's remember that Lessig doesn't want to abolish copyright, but simply restore short terms.
I didn't think the argument was about 'sensible' copyright as opposed to the current life +75 years copyright abomination of common sense.
It may not be such a bad thing to have sane copyright laws, reasonable first sale doctrines, and appropriate penalties for consumer violations.
Is any more evidence required for average people to avoid these 'too large for their own common sense' companies?
Turn off the Big 4 music AND movies.
There is no harm in supporting independents, especially if you have opportunity to support artists directly.

In result, bills are often a negotiation between Congress and the President.
I smell more wool research style sweeteners! Goats FTW.
How can you retire the shuttle fleet without replacement?
Aren't the shuttles like 20 years old and hanging together with bubble gum and duct tape as it is?
The reason the shuttles are so old, is that NASA doesn't have the budget to GET NEW ONES!
Or so I'm told.

in poker the suit matters so, the new limit doesn't apply.
The suit is an additional data point effected by the randomization of shuffling. The number of shuffles still applies according to the maths in TFA.
3, if the dealer is clumsy or awkward.
Unlike blackjack, many of the poker variants pay better the more hands you can 'play'. Slow shufflers ruin my hand/hour numbers, and subsequently my $/hour.
So if it doesn't waste as much, its A-OK then?
