If one does the math it is easy to see it was impossible for her to have caused $1.92 million damage.
Yes exactly the point. I dont know all the details of the case. But why hasn't the defense called in some kind of "Statistic Bean Counter"/* with an idea of p2p technology of course */ to their defense ? Maybe would have swayed the judges decision ?
I would not be so sure. They are appealing to the EU Human Rights court thepiratebay.org which is also here echr.coe.int Also they are being asked to appear in Court in Netherlands, which the official mail got lost so they ( Brein Foundation sent tweets twitter.com inviting them to court. Oh and just for the record this waas submitted to/. earlier just some anti copyright people modded submissions down so it would not get posted.
The only reason that comes to mind for the teacher wanting the code to be taken down is because he was going to use the same assignments next year (Which is fairly common among teachers). Regardless, in this case it's his code and he has the right to do whatever he wants with it.
Unfortunately schools have become more about preparing you for standardized tests and such rather than giving you a real education with the information you actually will use in life (Which is why teachers always have to cover their asses). What Brady was trying to do was help his peers and kudos to him for doing so.
+1 to that . I think (some not all ) educators need to get off there high horses and start being more innovative. Instead of always re-running assignment X for the past 5 years.
I remember a certain "educator" I had while I was going back to school in 2001. If I didnt code the way he saw fit (which in other terms) a way he could understand he would would fail me , code comments or no code comments. In the end it went up in front of the school Directors , and I had my current employer at the time backing me with some other clients that I was coding for , because otherwise I would have failed out. Luckily the board decided in my favor .
These certain types of educators that dont understand the depths of the own things they are "teaching" should either A.) be more innovative and come to terms with newer techs and their way of teaching or teaching style. B.) count their losses stfu and find a new line of work.
Yes - I think all of us thought of Synaptic, the Ports collection, etc.
Why is Novell building yet another stupid frontend for yum/apt-get/etc?
because they dont have something as powerful as apt or yum. They have zypper(which looks promising imo) and on their enterprise distros zmd/rug which used to be red-carpet but is also mono dependant.
but I just find that the more "user-friendly" they make these desktop distros, the harder it is to fix them when they break.
Take Ubuntu for example - when it works, that's cool. When something breaks, it breaks ugly and you very quickly destroy the illusion of user-friendliness. I just think that this is not a smart move from Novell's part. It will give the appearance of yet another bullet-proof polished tool that will clutter up the menu while giving the appearance of user-friendliness without the actual user-friendliness.
Not only that but consider also adding to the bloat.. What happened to fast, slim, and effective ? Everyone wants the candy & cool-aid these days. Also trying to submit accepted bug reports to some distros is a PITA trying to get them to fix things, imho.
I think what they are eventually getting is also implementing openSUSE so called 1 click installer for applications. Although a good idea for newer users I find it to be a PITA. 1 click is like a little repository within itself which then adds repos and missing packages if needed.
With 1 click downloads and 1 click installers I seriously wonder if this "software store" will work with other distributions other then their own openSUSE/SLED. Also on another note what kind of Software with what license models will be put in the store ? I for one, know I dont want 1 click everything with (for e.g. mono, imho novell really likes to push this on people) some screwy licensed software being eventually installed without being asked and or notified about it.
You are a fucking moron. Tell me then how many Central & Western European Countries are not in the EU ? Obviously you do not understand Europe . Most Western and Central European Countries have had their "own" laws and culture for years & years. Until this "Union" comes which has appointed (non elected) officials that basically tell every "member" of the union how they should govern their people the way they see fit. No vote from the people on some issues (depending on the country your in).
I would rather leave the EU anyways the only things I have seen in my Country are Inflation , social systems falling apart, more corrupt politicians, more unemployment thanks to EU, etc etc .
why is it that they dont have a central repository ? correct if Im wrong I dont have a iphone but why do others have to wait when something comes out ?
If most gaming publishers/developers wouldnt only see $ signs, get some high end hosting with high end hardware, and write decent netcode they wouldnt have this problem. Look at the Hardware today and all the possibilites clustering , load balancing, etc etc...
imo Possibilites are their to reduce lag, login issues, high server load, etc. They just have to want to do it.
imho pros and cons to both side of the argument. e.g. Eve. At any given time mostly 30k - 40k people are on 1 Eve Server. While this might enhance the player experience, pvp, and player interaction with other players. No one wants to play an mmo on an empty server. On another Note "most" mmo's after a few years don't have the subscription base that they had at release so they end up consolidating servers anyways which in the end pisses of the player base.
tfa: "the band's own application was rejected due to "objectionable" downloadable content that wasn't housed within the app itself."
I mean it is their own content they are distributing so "NIN/Reznor" are ok with it. So why was this rejected in the first place ? I dont own anything with an i, but how many other apps out their download offsite content? Quite a few I am sure?
same thing going on in other parts of EU if you watch the news, they want to build it out then filter , control , then they have you , trolltariens @ work
FTA "autocratic regimes like China, Russia and Iran"
they forgot to add Nazi 2.0, Germany, Norway, etc, or any other country that is currently filtering any kind of content available on the net.
the internet used to be a free enterprise, if we dont start standing up NOW that little bit of free enterprise as we still know it (or what is left of it) will be gone with the blink of an eye.
yeah maybe ,
but this makes me wonder with X Wal-Mart Management overseeing this , if he will implement the same kind of employee spy tactics and job screening practices they have at wal mart. Also with they hire some senior citizen in windows attire to open the door ? Microsoft just became a whole new evil.

To this date, I cannot think of any cell phone viruses that have existed and spread.
Windows Mobile ?

first off "it" wasnt completely invented in America or am I the only one that doesnt remember history .. Switzerland anyone ?
French Standard ? whats that 3 strikes your out ?
Seriously ffs let sleeping dogs lie, we dont need any more International Unions trying to regulate shit.

I hate replying to myself but on a another note it looks like the people at cyanide are all huge fans stated in their press release here:
http://www.cyanide-studio.com/?rub=node&nid=806
tfa:
"Development on a game for PC and "next-gen consoles" has begun, and George R. R. Martin will help out"
so maybe wont be so bad after all eh? I guess as long as Mr Martin has some say so , or rather put Cyanide lets him.
tfa:
"the band's own application was rejected due to "objectionable" downloadable content that wasn't housed within the app itself."
I mean it is their own content they are distributing so "NIN/Reznor" are ok with it. So why was this rejected in the first place ? I dont own anything with an i, but how many other apps out their download offsite content? Quite a few I am sure?
On another note:

now all they need to do is port TPB vpn service to it and voila !
here is an archiv of the pdf's available from the public record. Some of this is really whacked. http://weblog.infoworld.com/venezia/archives/017979.html
