Wow, talking about wiseness here, but nobody put cryptographic locks keeping me from using only certified OS'es... (oh yeah, people were up in arms about Palladium, which said exactly that).
and this has what to do with your pointless comment regarding buying a box? The point is that everything is useless in the wrong context. At this point saying it is useless without internet is almost the same as saying the game is useless without a good graphics card.
Aside the rambling, what exactly did you say?
You DO know ad providers (Doubleclick and other meat-space vendors) do buy legitimate profiles of audiences. If this program shows a statistically calculated margin of error, it would be worth a LOT.
Sorry it was hard for you to understand. does Doubleclick buy profiles from single induhviualls? If so, how much are people losing and how hard is it to cash in on this new-found wealth?
Oh sheesh. Yeah, go warez it, retard. The people who wanna play online cant, and you wont be playing against them, now will you. And who said that a naughty program couldnt just instead encrypt all files it has access to? Thats what a certain old unix virus did.. "Talk to Valve about decrypting these files BY NOT PIRATING"
Other then you have made the sadly common mistake of calling such things pirating as well as assuming that anything thing that defeats drm is "warez", you have assumed it matters. Valve isn't going to turn off your purchase without reason or without recourse.
Your wisdom is without question, Sire. Thank you for your gift o' great lord.
So, paying for any software is a bad thing? I don't care if they implement RFC 1149 for my gaming experience,as long as i like the game. Might as well say "buying a stupid piece of silicon that doesnt DO anything with out instructions!!"
As for the stats, you have an way to make money off of just yourself reporting stats to someone, please tell us more. I am sure if there was some sort of community/non-profit version we could all reply to that would be great but i don't know of any. Besides, the biggest value is to valve and their competitors and the data has been (to some extent) shared with the world,right? So the problem is.....??
And I am sure that there is no way to disable that kill-switch. Nope,never gonna happen. No one would every figure out a way around such a thing. You are so wise.
the mistake is validating the colleges that do that. bittorrent is THE way to do so many things that the fewer places that cater to such actions the better. Bittorrent-esqu tech is coming to everywhere in time because it make too much sense, not to mention money, not to. any place that blocks it is going to suffer.
There is nothing wrong with this no matter who does it. All those complaining are doing so out of ignorance.
If by nothing illegal, your likely right. If you mean it is the right thing to do, your wrong. While I am sure past and future administrations have/will do this, caring too much about politics, at all levels, is a bad thing. The less political the position the less politics should matter.
and I wouldn't be suprised if there were other search engines that do this. All the "search engines" are really doing is packaging shortcuts in this case. They have no information about you packages, they just skip to the meat.
It is funny you should mention it, but my mother WAS gang raped by a Pride of loins - hence me. Weird,it's lke you were there.....
And if you notice I DIDN'T respond rudely and might not have even if the other gentleman hadn't posted. Frankly I was just taken off guard how wrong The King was about everything. He managed to miss my point as well and add some mistakes of his own.
Thank you. I was going to reply but my reply would have been FAR less pleasant then yours. He almost seems like a troll to me,except that i think he means what he says.
I dont understand why people want to control what is my hands or in my head. I own what is inside my head, however it got there. i should be able to do whatever i want with that. Why do people want to charge for everything??
Content creators only have rights as a privilege. As proof, there are special laws for it because it IS NOT the same as property. There should be a middle ground but when there is every any doubt the needs of the many should out-weigh the needs of the few or the one.
One could argue that the length of time could be based on what is given to the public. What public interest does is there in someone being a dick and withholding what he has prevously released? I realize that the creator might not like it the funny thing is that copyright is for the public not the creator.
Or perhaps after a certain time frame there could be a very low cost compulury license so that the creators dont get a say it what happens after a certain point but still get money. There is alot that could be done other then just changing the length.
none of it will happen any time soon but these are nice thoughts while we wait for the IP and Copyright to crumble away....

Tracking Your Taxes

Your assuming that they got that info from the bank. All itmeans is that SOMEWHERE, something change that said to them you might be worth checking out. There are millions of bits of infomation that are tracked about you and even more if you have money and spend it. People watch people that spend money.
thats why i always spoon(), since it's patent has already expired. Spoon() works for everything. Thats what the kid in the Matrix is trying to say - "there is no spoon() patent" he just got cut off.
I would LOVE to use spork() but it's patent still has some life left to it.
I wold love to have more details about the potential monopoly. Siemens could included encryption in alot of their parts "to prevent hacking" and,oh by the way means no competitor can build parts that are compatible with the Siemens parts.
I am not saying there are doing this,just that there is at least one situation where a company could cause a hassle for their customer via some lock-in tech.
Sure, for certain application higher math is required: breaking encryption for example.
But almost NONE of that has anything to do with the hacking they are speaking of. Hacking, in the current context, is more about find holes in systems and exploiting people.
I guess that higher math is needed when you convert Dollars to Roubles.....
And besides, that is sort of like bragging "We have the most talented Arsonist in the world!!"...sounds like a desperate attempt to take pride in something sad...
1) some == half....it might not be an amount you like,but 90% is some too...Thou I wouldn't say some...VERY fuzzy definitions. Beside if some == 1% you would still dislike it.
2) your confused.First you talk about people earning it and should keep it then talk about someone just having it handed to them. This suggests that how ever they get the money they should keep it. So why give any examples if all are the same?
3) You only get taxed on money new to you not money you already have. If I get 5 million (after taxes) I never pay any more taxes on that money. If I i get interest on that money then I pay taxes on the interest only.
4) You should be so lucky to have to worry about an inheritance tax. (Ignoring the fact of having lost someone you love)
5) If you think that truly rich people aren't already paying someone to avoid all the taxes they can,you is crazy. 30 years ago taxes on the upper crust was in the 60% and 70% range in the USA. In England it was at 90% at one point. THATS insane. Now we just have a bunch of whiny bitches.
Look,even if I pay 75% tax on 200,000 dollars I STILL MADE MONEY! 25% of X == > 0 if X !=0. They got payed less, how is that anything bad?? Sad that the posts on/. are trolls these days.....
Does that mean that in soviet Russia Slashdot posts you?
And you have missed the point. Do you read all of the latest articles about all the things that you eat? About the sewer system? Asphalt? Car care? Psychological studies?
There is more technical information then you can take in. Not all information is going to be equally accessible for you. You just get to choose a subset of what in your life you pay attention to. So be understanding of people who have chosen a different subset then you because you NEED THEM.
Somewhere online I saw a demo of printed maps that had three layers to them. Depending the angle you viewed the page at you saw the different layers to different degrees.
What I would love to see is a slider where you could have an overlay of the street map on top of the sat pics thereby giving the real world images a little more structure. It might need to only include the larger streets or some such but I certainly hope google is working on merging the to better then a simple toggle.
Either way, yay!
(am I suppose to make a comment about how google is either trying to take over the world or is the best company ever? I can never remember which it is...)
Windows IS good enough for most people. Switching to something else IS the wrong choice for grandma. Maybe not for you but for millions Windows is the BEST choice. Not the most advanced or flexable or cheapest or easiest but the best for many people.
Now, if someone claims they are leet because they can run mysql, then they ae morons. But sometimes mysql is going to fill the right nitch. As always, right tool for the right job.
