That's why SoulSeek is still up. Much of the music on it isn't "mainstream" like synthpop, ebm, and so on. So, the RIAA doesn't care. And most of those artists probably get more business due to the exposure from the trading than they would otherwise. I know that, at least in the Midwest (but we don't really count) that most of those bands would be nearly unknown if it wasn't for some dedicated people handing out burned CDs of club music. Often people then buy the music after that - and they wouldn't have even had heard of them otherwise, so they aren't really missing any "sales" anyway.
Yep. That's what happened to me and my roommate. However, we now have three subcontractors under us...one in sales, two developers. The casual work is turning into an actual business, which isn't bad either. We're making more money and having fun while doing it.
Having a defined "office space" inside the apartment helps. It also helps having a 1500 square foot apartment between two people!
I was listening to NPR about something like this, but it was a person worrying about a giant planet-killer. My opinion was "so?". I've got other things to worry about than solar flares or planet-killers. It's not like I could get away anyway.
I was just thinking the exact same thing...some movie where they have to "shut down the flare activity on the sun". But theres an Evil Villain who wants to shut it down completely. Bruce Willis saves the day, and reactivates the sun after tossing the Evil Villian into it.
I have no idea how the sun would stay together if it was "shut down", what type of technology it would take to do something like that (we'll just use some small "alien device", like a painted briefcase) but that's not important. If the movie The Core can make it to the box office...
The scene would just be the sun going out, turning into some black mass of "sun matter"...maybe some exotically frozen matter. The alien device would draw the energy out of it by floating outside the spaceship and doing the alien device dance (like in 2010 when jupiter gets eaten, or ST:TMP, or any like sci-fi). But the Evil Villian would make it completly shut the sun off, and take the briefcase to use it to turn himself into God or something completly meglomaniacly insane. I mean, your shutting the Sun off so you would have to be pretty crazy and really wealthy. Perhaps make him the last of the Pharohs and he is going to really become a God or some crap.
It's profitable because that 10% are usually victims of identity theft when they use those sites. They may go to purchase $10, but their informatio is used to get $5000 out of them. So, they don't need a large response.
The FSU is started to get into this on a very ogranized level too. One of the theories is that some of the recent worms where done by organized crime syndicates over there.

I like swords myself. I have two matched swords about 3 inches long. They aren't the most amazing quality, but they do hold up under quite a bit of...duress. And they are relatively cheap too.
And the choices of jackets...$400 leather trench (that the fucking Matrix ripped off. I had it at nearly two years before that movie came out), studded-out punk jacket, 1970's Tyler Durden-ish brown leather jacket. What was REALLY funny was my friends had to convince me to see Fight Club. I didn't want to see it. But I went.
I realized something was up when I walked out of the theator, pulled on my brown leather coat, and put on my red sunglasses. I once again felt copied. Now people just think I am copying, and I'm like "f*ck you, I'm more bizzare than your mom's secret lover. Oh, and she still owes me $20"
Damn I need a drink, but I'm still recovering from last night. It's my new tradition to get blasted while on contract on a wednesday night and see how effecting I can be the next day with the help of various chemicals. So far it's working out pretty damn good.
eh, I have two-hour martini lunches that I'm billing for. I'm going to have to learn golf. Getting involved in local politics. There are worse things than getting paid to tell doctors what to do. But you have to be slick as fuck.
It's a culture clash. Many people in america see themselves as better than any other counrty. In many ways we are, but we are going down a dark path. This is a path of greed. But that's another post in and of itslf.
Many of "us" are not used to being around a civilization that was raised under far different standards than us "crazy religious" europeans. India has a rich and textured past, as does China and Japan. And it sometimes collides with ours. Welcome to the REALLY SMALL WORLD we now live in thanks to the internet.
Some of an individuals most important information (health, or PHI) has had this whole law called HIPAA slapped on it because they couldn't police themselves enough. It's why the security regulations are in place as well.
It's a bit ironic for me. The doctors want someone who is "good" to come in and do these audits. However, I can get too good if I need to and come up with an elegant solution that...well, it can be a bit pricy. But by this time in a couple of years I hope to make it peer pressure by any means possible. lol.
Sometimes I curse myself for reading cyberpunk books when I was younger and now seeing just where this whole trainride could very well end up in my lifetime. Those "flying cars" that Sisko wants are driven by kungfoo robots with solid state diode lasers, who all feel the need to "delete" humanity because we are affront to their self-evolving code.
Hah. This amazing redhead I met just recently just accidentally called me from her work. Guess she should lock her cellphone pad. I thought it was a bit early for her to be calling...kinda scared me.
When? When CMS gets done with this disclosure. Legally, someone can go to prison over something like this. I'm expecting a big fine (and excellent marketing material).
Yes it is. Someone is getting a huge fine or even jail out of this. There is supposed to be a Business Associate Agreement between all Chain of Trust partners that stipulates both parties are following HIPAA just to be able to pass PHI between each other. Someone didn't follow the law and allowed PHI to be handed off to a non-compliant company. I do HIPAA audits for a living...
This gives identity theives a whole new area to get at. It's a bunch of bars, their security probably sucks. Somewhere in the chain is going to be a big weakness. Let the DB pile up for about 3-6 months...then hack it and release the info anyomously to the press.
It will probably die pretty quickly...or get much worse. Perhaps you shouldjust sell the list and not mention it.

The real question is..how much of this is going on that isn't being reported? I suspect far more than we hear about.
Report them to CMS, as your manager could go to jail over that. That's the only way to stop this is for some people to get in deep sh*t over it.
https://htct.hhs.gov/?cms
Go there and file a complaint right now.
When? When CMS gets done with this disclosure. Legally, someone can go to prison over something like this. I'm expecting a big fine (and excellent marketing material).

well, it could be negative. He's only selecting it out of the table. If he had said something like
SELECT karma FROM users WHERE userid=13874 AND karma > 1
Then it would only return a positive value for karma, or no rows at all. I don't think the ' are required, at least not in mysql, mssql, or postgre.
