For all the arguments of piracy this strikes me quite odd. One side claims that the flagrant piracy of software is costing people jobs by in turn denying a company of their due income. Yet, here they are distributing free copies of their software asking to only have them purchase a license or allegedly get an email from M$ stating its okay to use without a valid license. Is this a hypocrisy or a setup for when M$ can more aggressively check for and prosecute software/OS pirates?
How can you justify any loss in revune from software and/or license not being paid for when you are distributing it yourself for free? What would be the difference, aside from a cushy M$ paycheck, if other copies of M$ software and OSes were distributed with the same neat little lable about naughty you for using this? When making claims of incredible losses such as the RIAA claims, do they take into account all freebies that have been given out?
Who do these laws that these huge rich companies have bought in Congress apply to and how does one go about getting on the immunity list!
Soooooooooooooooo...the riots in L.A. are the results of a superpower? Tienamen Square, superpower as well?
Personally I think if you stupid enough to beleive everything you read off the web, and from just a single search on a single search engine you just _may_ deserve what you get. So one search on a search engine takes away some of your dim light, cry me a river. What does this say about the real morals here, what is more important the publicity of the message of the people protesting for peace by breaking shop windows and forcing stores to close early so paychecks are short and sales destroyed for the day creating economic hardships for many, or the attainment of peace itself through peaceful means? I don't think that the recycling of a silly buzzword from a single search engine is the real cause for alarm here.
Just when I thought I had read the epitomy of ignorance with Dell's propietary printer cartridges and others brandishing the DMCA to destroy any competition a story like this comes around makes me say gee I'm glad to be able to see this too.
How much more greedy and petty can people become? Its sickening, oh shit is that going to be patented too after the fact?
Maybe if they had focused their energy on producing a quality product that they could have had a legitimate claim too instead of trying to shake down smalltime porn websites like chicago gangsters shaking down a small grocery store waving tommy guns around, they wouldnt be facing a potential stockholder revolt. Why doesn't the inventor of the television sue the makers of monitors, I mean after all they came up with the idea of transmitting information and entertainment on a glowing screen first. What will be next?
I was wondering if the M$ search engine will include some good hearty blue screens to make your searches unstable too? And maybe some memory issues, and definately it needs to be the slowest search engine out there.
It is only fair seeing as how Bill Gates invented the internet...
It seems to me if a court has already tossed this piece of litigation out like the garbage it is then why waste another court's time?
1.) Can they proove that DeCSS _directly_ cost them billions in revenue? (As opposed to the poor quality movies with recycled scripts, remakes, or lame sequels)
2.) Do they put on trial the person who engineered the gun used for a crime?
Why dont they focus on their own corruptions and downfalls before focusing on somebody that just wanted to watch a movie on the OS of their choice. How about those "Actor Workshops" where down and out aspiring actors hork out hundreds in cash to attend a "Workshop" where somebody just may be there from a current show to cast them in a 3 second background extra shot. Or better yet the flagrant plagarism of the people they dare call writers who do a few minor changes and Journey to the Center of the Earth becomes Core...oooohhhhhh aaaaaahhhhhh
Would fiber would have to worry about Downstream Signal to Noise Ratio? Upstream SNR? Transmit Power? Receive Power? Signal degradation due to splitters? Bandwidth saturation on a DS3 at peak times? Bandwidth sharing along nodes? Electromagnetic Interferance?
Even if you have a cablemodem supporting speeds in excess of 100Mbs, most broadband internet companies cap your bandwidth at around 3Mbs which is subpar to a standard 10BaseT network. Hack the config file in the modem so it does not match the checksum on their servers and you find yourself permanently without service. The advantage of coax currently is the existing cable tree foundation already in place for cable television just needing an internet frequency to piggy back through. I wouldnt mind trying out fiber at all to see what the downfalls are besides needing a pocket book like BillyBoy Gates. But if fiber were more widely used and less of a special thing prices would fall like reliability with a M$ patch and OS.

1.) This is going to be an excuse to jack up the already obnoxious price of CDs
2.) If it can be encrypted it can be decrypted...what makes them think that this time crackers will just roll over and not break this copyright protection? I dont think a small band of corporate code jockies will forever outsmart a determined community.
3.) There are always alternatives, they can spend years locking, bricking up, chaining, securing the main door and not accomplish anything with the back door, side doors, and windows left wide open.
4.) Alternatives will provide new rips anyway and what have they then accomplished except...see point 1.
Anybody know where I can get some toilet paper with DMCA on it?
I thought this was an added feature, to give you plenty of time to make sure you want to open this program and get a cup of coffee like the good old days...
They also need the right to not be raped, ground up alive, shot, hung, terrorized, gassed, biological weapons victims, tossed in acid vats alive and sometimes dead...etc
I think with the US paying the bills and paving the way for freedom they should get the majority if not all the rebuilding benefits. If the technology happens to be superior also great! Chances are with Americans doing the rebuilding you can pretty see where the ball will land unless you are interested in some great swampland in florida.
By restricting a consumer to have to buy only from you, you produce a monopoly on a product available for price gouging. (Sorta like gas prices these days)
Traces the true origin of the spam despite attempts to forge email address and server of origin. When you report a spam through them, they keep a copy with the full trace logs to prove and verify it was sent to your email address and where it came from. It also reports violaters to the isp's and spamvertised websites with a full copy of this report which is enough to have accounts terminated. Now this doesnt work with douchebags like upnetworks.com or verio.net or exodus.net or skynetweb.net...
Now if the Judicial system could just link up with them to make filing of cases easier...
When you choose to smudge your own reality and dwell within it's distorted boundries, it is at that point then you have chosen to deny reality for whatever mental reasons you may have. If you cannot deal with reality then perhaps instead of vegging out infront of games with drugs/booze you should be seeing a therapist and investing in a perscription meant to help your mental position and outlook. Accept the responsibility of your choices, actions, and mental state of being instead of pointing fingers and crying poor poor me look what that did to poor poor me.
Children, need parents to raise them not programming viewed through the television or video games. Children that have been raised correctly by parents who care and love for them will have been taught the difference from right and wrong, reality and fantasy, a time for work and a time for relaxing. Granted, there is a time and place for things and children should not be subjected to it prematurely to their parents wishes and the child's well being. But put the blame where it goes, a parent not raising the child and allowing society in general, TV/Movies/Etc, video games and so on to raise their children is the entity at blame for a child thinking violence is a viable solution and a fun game free of pain and suffering. If the cover of this game is not graphic, then it should not be hidden away like trying to pretend it does not exist no unlike people trying to pretend reality does not exist by zoning out in front of games etc.
I thought this string was about Al Jazeera being the target of a DoS since airing pictures of collateral damage? If you have a problem with the US removing a murder/rapist/dictator the hard way so he cant gas, grind, rape, shoot, steal etc then post your ignorance where it belongs. (Please see your own post you tool...doh!)
Has any groups claimed responsibility for the DoS on Al Jazeera? I dont watch this channel and dont really care what they show/say seeing as they seem to be a medium for a lot of garbage, but I am concerned about the freedom of the internet being jeopordized again by script kiddies or others. If you dont like what you see because you can't handle reality, garbage, propaganda, offensive material, etc...DON'T WATCH/LISTEN. How different are these people from dictators and extremists when they force their beliefs upon people by denying the right and access to information and other views?
And I am sure you were saying that back in the day when script kiddies tossing OOB packets dropped you into a blue screen time and again. And when any other little box is comprimised that is relevant to you getting paid and living is just as stupid as well.
I think 7 years is a slap on the wrist for this piece of filth and any other dungbeetles like him. It is not just the annoyance factor of being pestered by some strange putz you do not know trying to convince you they are the better rip-off.
This sort of spam goes beyond just forgery, he was _stealing_ resources. Stealing processor time, memory, connection, bandwidth, diskspace, etc. On top of this add the cherry of unsolicited garbage going out to countless addresses wasting resources everywhere their emails travel. Not to mention the obvious that he had to have hacked the server where he was performing his mass acts of theft and waste. Personally, I hate getting anything I did not request including those ads and coupons in the mail but spam just plain infuriates me. I don't pay to access the internet to have to waste my time and resources not matter how big or small getting rid of crap I never wanted even the slightest to do with in the first place.
IMHO:
He should have the inner cavity of his leg bones hollowed out with a powerdrill using a rather large drill bit, his nails pulled off and then using a sledgehammer pulp his fingertips, his eyes should be exploded by sticking a hot soldering iron in his eyeballs to turn the inner eye fluid into steam, and then for every spammail he was responsible for he should have an 1/8 inch square of flesh torn off his body...then this child's play should stop and he should be tortured horribly.
On top of all the obvious rapes of your privacy this software brings, this is just the cherry on top. The last time this sort of mass released untested buggy crap was forced on people it was called Windows.
They can't open and read snail mail addressed to you, how can any court let them read through your email?
Because objects do not define the person, their idea, nor their ability to think and reason.
Pigs have badges, and if they do the academy right they really get into their power-trip. Would have been interesting to see that sort of logic applied like this back in the riot days of LA.
PhDs can be bought in this world just like anything, and because somebody has enough money to get one earned or bought does not make instantly superior to anybody else.
