    And what if people use some of the new anon p2p programs, so they can only see you have transfered 10,303,334mb of something?

    I'm sure they get paid when they give a concert - if they can't live off that ... though. Get a decent job then.

    Actually its the "artists" who are lazy, they expect to keep getting paid for a the same job. You try that in another other business.

    Both hope to score bigtime on an amoral law. One job, one payment - get used to it.

  8. Re:Should spammers be held responsible for the spa on Inappropriate Spam Reaching Children? · · Score: 1

    The problem being there is no way to tell how old the person who checks the email address is. An email address is just an alias, the person who checks that box could be 8 or 80, there is no way to tell. Unless there is some way to tell how old the person who checks the mailbox is, there is no way to hold people responsible for sending emails inappropriate for children to that mailbox.

    If you didn't ask for it: Sure you can! Who the hell are they to send all kind of perverted shit to email addresse of people who never asked for it!

    ...another program? Or at least, won't it trigger the development of more 'secure' programs.

    I just read about Earthstation 5 - no idea who they are (prehaps the RIAA in disguise!), but this program claims to be ... stealthy:


    ONE CLICK PROXI SERVER - Users can send connection requests through intermediary proxy servers located throughout the world so that the download destination of a file cannot be traced by any entity whatsoever.

    SSL - SECURE SOCKETS - Prevents monitoring of a user's uploading or downloading activity.

    UDP -USER DATAGRAM PROTOCOL Using UDP makes it impossible to reliably scan a user's computer to determine if ES5 is running. Also, unlike TCP connections, UDP traffic can not be easily blocked by ISPs.

    IP ADDRESSES - ES5 does not display user IP Address information.

    DYNAMIC PORTS- Each ES5 node uses a randomly chosen port (unless the user chooses a specific port themselves). Therefore, ISPÃs will be unable to identify file-sharing traffic based upon port numbers and unable to throttle back the users bandwidth.

    USER DEFINED PORT SETTINGS- ES5 provides users with one-click port setting options for ES5 to use port 53 (the port used by DNS) or port 37 (the port used by time service) therefore rendering all blocking attempts hopeless.

    MULTIPLE POINTS OF ENTRY - ES5 uses multiple methods for connecting to the ES5 network including IP Multicast, Usenet Articles, Web Sites, Node List Files and a several other undisclosed methods.

    PENETRATING FIREWALLS - UDP allows seamless penetration of firewalls without inconvenient setting of firewall parameters. For users behind firewalls, ES5 uses UDP to request a PUSH, where the behind-the-firewall computer initiates the connection back to the requested user's computer.

    PGPDisk - As an additional security feature, to all P2P programs, is that ES5 integrates seamlessly with PGPDisk (which is a free program and will be provided by ES5 to its users) that lets you encrypt your disk drives to store your P2P content. No one except you will ever be able to see your files, not your kids, your spouse, your mother, your boss, the FBI, the KGB or anyone else!

    Well, it sounds interesting - I'm not going to try it though *G*

    It's unlikely that you're going to get caught or punished for "sharing", but don't kid yourself about what you're doing...


    There are many different crimes. They have different names. This is called Copyright Infringement because its not stealing.

  17. Virus! on Microsoft Orange SPV Phone Review · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just imagine when the vira start spreading on this. When you are not using it, the phone is busy phoning outer mongola and sending obscene messages to the president!

  25. Re:Come on ... on Slashback: GSM, Buffy, Wobble · · Score: 1

    and then picking "Properties" yields a window with a "Target" tab, where you can change where "My Documents" points.

    Hey, you are right - fancy that :) Never noticed that before, you learn something new everyday. (Not that it helps me that much, since it collectivly changes it)

    Also, I think it is misguided to try to make a small C: drive.

    Apparently the majority thinks that way, that doesn't necessarily mean I'm wrong though.

    I've not reloaded any of my computers in the last 2 years, so you must be doing something wrong.

    Any version of windows i've been using gets slower and slower, bloats with tons of files not longer in use and crashes often. Ideally i should reinstall windows every couple of months.
