I think its a good idea, but it will require a good fireproof coating to pass UL certification, along with being rigid enough to hold a beer or computer books. Just at a glance the idea does have some flaws though, mainly heat will make it brittle over time since it's still paper/w a coating, it poses a fire risk, it will not dampen much noise and vibrations will probably cause it to wear out much quicker, than say METAL that is already recyclable.
I have been playing Eve for over six years now and only because Descent and Freelancer got boring. I think they are positioning themselves to take a huge portion of the Eve player base, which used to play the previously mentioned games. Eve is boring because of the navigation and the huge amount of PvE that the game is based around. At times it seems the entire framework of the game is centered around the carebears mining or building shit in station, which is needed in a pure sandbox environment. The idea that they are basing the framework of the ship class balancing around PvP excites me. That way when it goes live all the PvP'ers from Eve will haul ass and never look back while the carebears in Eve wonder why the market crashed and they are unable to sell anything.
I know a very significant number of people across numerous large alliances in Eve that will bail when Star Wars or JGE is released. The sandbox of Eve has gotten boring as of late....
Seems odd that the tests have only popped up in Germany. All it takes is some bored German worker to drop a few grams of coke in their Red Bull, then complain to the government after they fail a drug test.:P
I didn't added QoS into my original post. If you VPN into work or home you can remove their ability to filter or tag your connections through a VPN. By tunneling everything through a VPN it would be a true test since anyone with a clue will set crypto traffic with a high priority on a border network.
If it's still unusable it will be due to errors on the transmission, which with tcp would be classed as slowness. With UDP it would be missing packets that are not re-transmitted.
An analogy, in quake w/ tcp code you would hump a wall when lagged, but with udp you would teleport through the wall.
You might want to try to vpn into work or home, then try to use Skype. Chances are they filtering what ports are allowed, so going through a crypto tunnel will remove this ability.
The simplest thing to do is to have a second disk in your computer, one for bad things and the second as a legal spare. Some truck drivers keep multiple log books, so something like that would be easier.
That way you could show use on the second boot disk. If you get sued simply remove the illegal disk and bury it somewhere, like a neighbors yard. start using your legal hdd as you would minus the piracy piece.
All of this is a pain, but sovereignty is already ticking to regain control. They have a little over two months to destroy us, before we get sovereignty three to re-acitvate our jammers, bridges and whatnot.
It just means this time the eve community can't cry that Titans are over-powered, dev hacks, etc. I didn't point it out since I referenced in some degree in the original post.
This time around there is no MC, RA and the handful of larger alliances with the first Delve war. This war will be a blast and the general morale of Bob/GBC is "excitement" since we have been sieging towers for the last seven months. Now we get to be on the defensive and have some fun.
The Goon Coalition has a small window to have success, but while they are in Delve they will be losing their sov 4 systems in Detroid while hoping to destroy BoB, which won't happen. They will ultimately have no home to return to, but maybe the Northern Coalition can find a nice cozy system from the dregs of the internet to fofofof in.:)
We are looking forward to it for the fights and fun, while the Goonies are doing it to prove a point and spread grief. Win or lose, it will be a fun time the next two-three months. We do not "failscade" and will not give up our home systems. We have build friendships over the last few years that will last a lifetime, so there is true comradeship and not smackfriends from Something Awful.:)
We are the bullies of Eve since we like fighting, which has made us unpopular with a good portion of Eve.
Hate us or love us, we always bring it. This time around it's personal.
There is no collapse, so apparently the griefing they are feeding from is self perceived?:) A name is a name and we will all continue to march through this problem into the next.
We will also motivate the Something Awful forums to find some other way to get their kicks. No emorage, quitting or crying was seen on behalf of the BoB corporations. Surely, this was not the desired grief that was sought. Granted, people were shocked and all, but it's business in usual in Delve.
The circle jerk will be over shortly and Goons will run back with their tails between their legs, again.
All we lost was sovereignty, so we still have hundreds of pos's and a large amount of resources. The only thing this achieved was the removal of the alliance name, nothing more and nothing less. All of the valuable items were in personal hangars and the small amount of isk that was stolen was simply for consumable expenses.
The only thing this honestly did is cause a bunch of old BoB members to resub and get interested again the game. In the next two months while we hold onto Delve we will have thousands of GBC pilots fighting the rest of the game. The opposition only has two months to remove all of our towers and.or place their own.
That map shows that we now have Sov 1 in all of our systems, minus a couple. In two weeks we will have Sov 2 and then two weeks after that we will have Sov 3. If they can not remove us from Delve in twenty seven downtimes (sov is based on morning dt's) than they have accomplished nothing outside of a huge PR campaign.
Internally there are several members that are convinced this was an intended act by BoB to get everyone to focus on Delve while we have allies pounding our enemies home system. The on true thing it has accomplished is getting everyone interested in all of the fights the next two months will bring.
I am a member of Band of Brothers and the only thing this has caused is a renewed interest on the part of the Alliance.
For them to remove us they will need to remove all of our moon mining and sovereignty towers. We have hundreds of capital ships and around 2k people waiting for the morons to come running into the chainsaw.
All of this is a pain, but sovereignty is already ticking to regain control. They have a little over two months to destroy us, before we get sovereignty three to re-acitvate our jammers, bridges and whatnot.
Considering we have war supplies and motivation, they will not be successful and their chest beating is simply propaganda.
In the last 24 hours almost all of BoB and their allies have fallen back to Delve to get ready for the fight. Before we mobilized they were tooting their horns about taking stations and anchoring pos's, but when push came to shove they didn't wish to engage.
This is not newsworthy, but a "Blue Falcon" act by a friend of BoB.
First off it's a ludicrous idea that the ACLU will challenge in federal courts the moment it (Big IF) is passed.
Having a gps monitored by the state (or third party)is just waiting for the law enforcement bureaus to subpoena to find out what Mr. Anderson was doing when his alibi says he was banging his mistress, instead of killing his wife.
I had the same problem with some really old cd's. I asked a friend who mentioned that he used any car wax that has Carnauba Wax in it. You may have to apply four or five coats to smooth things out a bit, but it will be "fixed' enough for a cd rip utility.
I manage telecom and netsec for a large company who dials roughly twelve to fifteen million calls per month over SIP/RDP. This really isn't all that new since almost all recording products do this to maintain compliance and such. How is this any different than rootkitting a machine and starting a wireshark/ethereal script w/ pcap. Installing any of these would be trivial once a machine is rootable.
Capture filters exist for most products to re-assemble rdp traffic, but the simple solution would be to use srdp. Rooting a machine may be somewhat trivial, but having both private and public keys would be much more challenging. I call FUD on the TFA.:)
Maybe Microsoft is simply going to add support to save Office files directly to a "Gmail Drive Extension".:)
If all they are doing in phase one it would be simply a matter of copying someone else's great idea. I save all of my M$ Office files to my Gmail drive and I don't have to worry about even bothering with their beta next year. Office already supports this type of behavior (ActiveX component not written by M$), which is why they will want to re-brand something as their own to stay competitive.
"If you were crazy enough, you could use this in a high end game machine."
So how much will these cards cost? Flynn told us that the company is aiming to beat $30 dollars a GB, something that should seem very cheap to large corporations, adding "You can drop ship or Fedex this card and be up and running in a few minutes... you can't do that with a storage area network."
I am all for regular patches, whether weekly or daily for that matter.
The majority of home users I hope patch occasionally, which alleviates a fair amount of trojan'able machines. On the corporate side we personally run internal Windows Update Servers where we can auto-schedule approved updates and push them out on a schedule. The whole concern about the corporate side is laughable since most large Windows shops have some form of patch management, (granted my reference is from ten large corporations) whether internal update servers or pushed updates using something else. The bottom line is Microsoft knows they have security problems and they update it on a schedule.
My concern is not the people that have licensed copies of Windows, but the ones that do NOT and are unable to patch their systems. I think a good portion of the machines that are compromised are non-licensed or cracked versions, which is somewhat amusing.
Why would Microsoft keep bootleg copies from being updated seems more logical to make it "non-networkable" instead of "non-updateable"
Isn't it illegal to block wireless frequencies in any private or public place? I recall an old story about a church attempting to do the same thing, but with a different technology. Maybe I am not remembering it correctly, but it is illegal to block pager/cell frequencies as per the FCC. Private spaces I can see them not enforcing the law, however if your office is next to a public building wouldn't this potentially interfere with the pager/wireless frequencies?
Imagine sharing a wall with a doctor and you enclose your space. The doctor next door uses a pager service that has a tower on your side of the building, but he is unable to get a signal. Wouldn't that make you liable for blocking out frequencies if the doctor can prove that you are blocking public frequencies??
I think the question is somewhat loaded, but I suppose everyone has a perspective. In my opinion VOIP and Network Security are hot career paths. I have been working with both (Cisco) over the course of the last five years and the market is very good for specialized Network geeks. When looking for marketability on the job boards VOIP/NetSec are paying more than my other skills.
The one thing I do know for a fact is if you are diversified in a couple of "hot skills" your marketability goes through the roof. If you throw management experience along with that you can make some pretty hefty sums AND find a job you like.
If you are paying $60 for refills you should have your head examined. I have went through two Canon's in the last seven years and pay a whopping $10 for refills. If you live in a somewhat large city there should be a Cartridge World (cartridgeworldusa.com)in your neighborhood. I can't imagine paying $60 for refills since I refuse to buy into the Razor/Blades business model. Before you ask I have an electric razor.:)

Anonymously cowardly,
Good luck, hopefully you will have a home to return to after you lose. We have no ranks to fill since numerous people are resubbing, so meh.
I am not a pubbie btw. :)
You have crap for logistics, you have crap for fc's and your simply looking for an exit to go into your next game and get your griefing giggles.
Enjoy the ride, we are looking forward to keeping our chainsaws oiled. :)
