BT ireland, I've sat and watched my IP change while I had active connections. I can have an SSH session open to a remote server and suddenly it stops responding and I have to open a new one. fucking annoying.
I can get you there. My ISP assigns me a new IP every few minutes even if I'm in the middle of a download. Makes using rapidshare impossible. And yes, there's always the jackass developer who thinks he's smart locking sessions to an IP which for me just means either being logged out again and again or it locking up till the link to the old IP has expired.
Yes I know it's the ISP but they're the only game in town and I'm not going back to 56K
thing is it's fairly common for takedown notices to be sent by people who don't own the rights. It's basicly the quickest way to get something critical of you taken down (for a time at least) since you can send it in the name of "The imaginary society of america".
If I owned a company or ran an organisation and wanted to get something I didn't like pulled it'd be the first thing I'd do, send takedown notices anonymously.
So I generate a table with 2^32 IP addresses and their MD5 with themselves as the salt, it doesn't enlarge the search space in this situation and I can then easily do a binary search to find what the origional IP was.
And the government wants to know who's been searching for things they don't approve of they have to ask google for the logs every 9 months rather than every 18 months.
Shh! saying those kind of things upsets people who think they should be paid forever and ever for a days work. The fact that when selling a physical product you have to keep doing a certain ammount of work to keep making more of them to sell also shouldn't be mentioned!
even then it should never be in plaintext. hash it, the operator asks for the pass, types it in, it's checked against the hash and if it matches it's correct. People reuse passwords too much for this to be safe .
I'm fairly sure this is a story repeated at more schools than you can imagine.
Back in the day my school got a big shiny computer network(which caught fire a lot, I'm not talking figuratively.) with a computer in every classroom etc. It was all micrsoft, all "locked down" in the most restrictive but pointless ways (no right click, no typing a directory into the address bar, pretty much the only programs you could open were word and excel) yet the whole thing was just a veneer. The private company in charge (the same crowd who were in charge at potters bar) had one very lackluster tech who was shared between 4 schools, we got him 1 week out of each month so if a printer broke they had to wait 3 weeks for him to fix it. The one competent tech in our school wasn't (officially) given admin access on the basis that that it was against policy. The actual security was a joke, even with my paultry abilities in those days I'd bypassed most all the restrictions and had a nice dos prompt from which I could do what I liked. Spent quite a bit of my free time investigating the network in a completely amature manner(looking through the IP range, finding file servers which had been set up or were part of the default package but never used etc)
I was friendly with the earlier mentioned only competent tech and he knew I wasn't inclined to break things so he didn't seem to mind if I messed around a little. I wasn't a destructive kid.
I'm waiting for anyone out there who doesn't like these systems to cause a little chaos.
Imagine grabbing the ID of the mayor as he drives by(pretty damn easy) then it's just a matter of wandering through a carpark programming every tag with a matching code.
nah, since everyone else is armed they'll be heavily outgunned anyway, they'd have to have a very large number of men on board to beat all the passengers and then they still have to get into the cockpit with it's nice thick door.
Yes but if your only concern is to kill a number of people in a confined space and not take over a plane for other uses there are loads of trains and busses which you could bring your rocket launcher onto. Get a train at rush hour and you'll get much more people.
That could work. Risk it airlines, where there are no security checks to get on board and the only security measures are to detect when a plane has been hijacked and once confirmed a killswitch is activated to simply blow it out of the sky. Might have to pay the pilots more but I'd travel on one of those.
If copyright was non transferable and limited to the lifetime of the author then sure things would be more reasonable but sadly this is not the case. Yes I wonder why artists get this special treatment since they're the exception, not the norm. When one group gets paid forever for a single day/weeks/month/year of work and everyone else seems to be getting paid once the question is quite legitimatly "why is this one group so special?"
Why don't you as a norm have to pay a doctor every year you live after you get cancer treatment on the basis that you're still deriving value from their work? Why isn't the norm for builders to own the "rights" to the work of your house and for you to have to pay royalties to them as long as your live in the house and so derive benefit?
When everyone else is treated one way and one group is given special treatment under the law the question quite rightly is "why is this group different?" rather what "why isn't everyone being treated in this strange way?"
that was one of the reason for "3 or more", with vpns at the ends if possible, that way they have to have control/read the logs of all 3. Even if the first you bounce through is an FBI server all they see going through is an encrypted stream along with all the hundreds of others. if they control the 3rd one where it all decrypts and goes out onto the net they still have to trace back through the first 2. The "in different countries" bit was to make it harder on the off chance that all 3 were run by governments, picking 3 contries which don't get on too well can be useful. If you're paranoid bounce through more. You only have to find one which really doesn't keep logs and they'll never even get as far as the wireless LAN you connected to. Hell you only have to delay them a few days till the logs get truncated on one of the servers even if they all really do log.
Should their great grandkids be entitled to a cut from each copy sold? As it stands if an author dies before his works become popular then someone who never did a tap of work on the book gets bags of money for nothing. Why are authors/artists "special"?
If a mathamatician writes an equation which later gets used in designing cars to to make them safer- why does he not get a cheque for each car sold while a musician who writes a piece which later gets encoded on magnetic strips or optical disks and is used to make the environment in the car slightly more pleasant get a pile of money for each copy of the magnetic strip sold?
Both works are creative, both works have value, both works are used in items sold for profit.
What make artists more special than scientists?
My great grandfather helped the a friend who invented reinforced concrete by doing the math for him, why am I not being handed a check for every reinforced concrete building? What makes those math equations less special than "happy birthday"?
Or inventors even? inventors get a chance to make money off their inventions but patents expire much more quickly than copyright, why? why are inventors less special than artists? You seem to think it's right that a singer should be able to live off a single hit his whole life...and his grandkids should be able to do the same. But why shouldn't the great great great grandkids of the inventor of the mouse trap still be getting money for every mouse trap sold?
Well if you mean the hivemind hates everything and everyone then yes... But I'd prefer the people of the future didn't end up calling our age "the rapist period"
I just take the view that the mainstream is censored anyway. On the net censorship is very very hard to pull off on a large scale. Any one site might censor stuff but as a whole it's almost impossible to get something off the web once people have taken an interest in it.

Only available with the buisness package(or so I was told when I called them) which is much more expensive.

some download managers deal with the switch ok. Unfortunatly some servers do not.

Obama looks taller and he has good hair, he'd get my vote!
And unless they have millions to fight it out in court this is perfectly possible.
Shh!

I agree. This is the most pointless thing I've seen on the front page in a while.
