In the 60's timothy leary chalenged a law called the marihuana tax act http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana_Tax_Act which basically stated that you had to break the law to exercise your rights. in a way DRM is like this you have to break the law in order to exercise your rights to copy. i am surprised that lwyers haven t used this case to set presedent and dismantle DRM. this is the real problem with drm and sonner or later someone will do what leary did and then it will be up to the government to change the law or eliminate it.

Everytime i walk into a trader joes, or organic market i have to laught at all of the compleat and total idiots in this world, and heres why. 1) most products that are labled organic come from south american contries, these contries have no regulations on pesticides or anything else. what this means is organic food is not regulated and other than a maket driod putting a lable on a package you or anyone else has no way of knowing what was used to grow that product. organic food is a compleat lie and may contain more pesticides and harmfull products than what you buy in the supermarket. if you buy organic food you are a compeate idiot who can t tell the diference betweene marketing and truth. 2) Someone here posted that they will not eat anything that has been microwaved because of RADIATION. To this person i would like to say " for the sake of humanity do not talk to anyone else ever, and cut off your reproductive organs and microwave them" you are a danger to society and anyone who has a pulse. 3) if you are an part of the environmental party greanpeace or any other wackjob organisation, see number 2. I care about the planet and our environment, i dont like our current policies but i have no where else to go, why because all of the enviromental organisations are against nuclear energy and any other rational solution that makes sense. i am hoping that eventualy someone will come up with an environmental group that is realistic and sensible, so that people who really care about the environment can join and the greanpeace wackjobs can be maginalized and driven to extinction. 4) the greatest danger to our environment is environmentalist., they are compleatly responcible for our current situation all of the polution and waste that is going on. why because what is the first thing that politicians and the media put out when they want to make fun of and maginalize the environment. thats right environmentalists. because of this all environmetal policy is rejected and no real change can happen. greanpeace it is your fault that the world is fucked up and polluted because you have allowed others to use you as a strawman and slippery slope.
Lets see here, there are rope traps in the hallway. half of the crew is the enemy. there is a lot of sexual homosexual hermaphoditic and beastial sexual tension going around. you have two watch 10 movies just to know what is going on. oh yea and their trapped in an alternate univers that they cant get out of.
I dont know where you work but many of the engineers and scientists that i work with use apples, also many of the conventions that i go to with scientists and engineers are using apples more than pcs., why you may ask whell there are many programms that require the computing power of unix and the ppc arch, and they dont run as well on pc's. many of the scientists that i talk to who are on pc's have no choice because their company forces tham to use it.
The scientific comunity is more like the Mafia an anything else. The idea of cold fusion is not a theory it is a fact ( this is why helium is minned ). Cold fusion happens every day inside the earth, people just don't know why or how it happens. The real problem is that the scientific community is more like the Mafia, it is not and open minded industry for enlightenment it is more like the Catholic church during Gallileos time. When pons and fleishman published their experiment they essentially threatend all of the very expensive plasma and laser bassed fusion projects and because of this it was shut down, instead of investigating the phenominae of cold fusion it was instantly ostrisized. Plasma and lasers will never work in the arena of fusion and they will just continue to suck up money and resources but the scientific comunity is backing that technowlogy and they will never acknolege any other method of fusion until the money has run dry and they are considered the fools that they are. we should be investigating and trying to replicate what is happening in the earth, but doing so wil kill your carreer.

I dont like IE but there are many times that i may have to use it because the company i work for wont support any other browsers. i am a consultant and i primarilly support macs in the workplace. some of the newer services that i need to use at my company wont even work with IE 5.5 and i have to find a pc. i think that the real statement by MS is that they are starting to see that Apple is a real threat and they are going to war. right now i think thaey are being forced to update and maintain office because of the monopoly suit. but i wouldnt be surprised if they start breaking office for mac and making it unusable or really slow. MS cant stand competition and they did this with corel. i am pretty ceartain that this is the beginning of a war with MS and apple that will escalate, MS will try to kill apple by subversion and sabotoge of office because they cant compete with user interface and security.

It dosent matter what Sony does, in their eyes they did nothing wrong and they will just be craftier next time.
This project will fail and fail misrably. nd all you, right on linux guys are a buch of idiots. If you actually thought about it you would realize what a disaster this will be. inux itselfe can be hard to work with, the gui is nice but most of the time I find myselfe using terminals and manually editing the etc files because the gui configure apps are woefully lacking in usability and configuration options. f these laptops were dfor a country full of geeks and weirdos that were being trained to be some kind of sardukar of the tech world than linux would make sense. but we are talking about deploying these things to countries where people can barely read let alone operate a computer. this is like the south park episode starvin marvin, where the misionarys are giving the locals bibles and telling them not to eat them. if you are going to give computers to people who will need to use them to learn the basics like reading writing and basic communication, you shouldn't give them a computer that requires advanced computer troubleshooting skills so that they can install ( read, get rpm, install, find missing dependancy, get rpm, install find another missing dependancy, repeat ad nausium.) the reader neccesary for the digital book that is sopose to teach them how to read. The target people for these laptops arent the type of people that will want to tweak the OS. Hopefully someone will wake up and at least offer the choice of linux or OS X as an operating system for these computers. that way budding geeks can choose Linux, and the people who just want to learn and use their computers can use OS X. as someone posted ealier, why not also offer windows if its for free. let the end user decide not someone who is trying to push an agenda. f apple is smart thaey will offer a 200$ educational laptop and drive this project into oblivion.
OK so treason may be too strong of a word. but i think that this poses a severe risc to DOD security, although most of the top secret work is on niper and siper nets and people wouldnt be using these systems to play music on, you have to agree that two elements that are not classified when put together become classified. because of this people who will be using non classified or sensitive information (FOUO) would be suceptible to this rootkit. this is a possible security threat, and needs to be addressed in the dod arena.
If you work for the DOD pleae read this. I will be talking to the director of IT for the base and this is what I will be discussing. Sonys installation of a root kit on home or work computers poses a serios security violation to military and DOD property. This root kit can compromise computers that may contain sensitive government data. Also most people will not place the cd in TS rated computers but they may play the cds in home computers or non TS computers where sensitive derivative works may reside. Sony is indirectly installing software on dod computers that may constitute compromising DOD clasified and sensitive information. This may be a form of treason and subversion, and because of this we should exclude and prohibit the use of all Sony CD's in their work and personall computers.
if you work for the DOD or the military you should be considering this. I am sending it to Sony. I would like to let you know that as an administrator I have informed everyone on my network that using ANY Sony discs at home or on the corporate navy networks constitutes a severe security risk and that if they have purchased any Sony disc they should not put it on their computers, I have also put this notice on all of my emails. Currently I am working with many NAVY network engineers and will start working through the chain of command and discussing the possibility that all navy and military personnel should be forbidden to put any Sony CD in their computers and strongly discouraged to play such CDs on their home computers. Installing a rootkit and or encouraging people to install a rootkit on a DOD computer that may contain sensitive information is a federal offence comparable to treason. I will be working with the NAVY and the DOD to inform them of the ramifications of this rootkit, and I do not think that the DOD will like the idea of your company compromising their computers. also I am informing everyone I know not to purchase any Sony products because of your companies actions towards their customers.
It should be assumed that corperations can and will do anything they can get away with, and politicians will also do the same. the only way to effectively combt the riaa is by organising and destroying them. This is america we vote with our dollars and our votes. what do you think would happen if every senator and congressman who took one penny from the riaa suddenly found a grass roots campaign to eliminate them, do you think that they or any other polititian would have anything to do with the riaa. also why arent there picket lines in front of virgin records or blockbuster, informing people of the terrible things that the MPAA and the RIAA are trying to do. if people would stop being outraged and posting evill riaa posts on/. and they started taking action Form grass roots campaigns, start educating joe idiot and protest the television stations. if you make a big enough noise people are going to notice. but the sad fact is AMERICANS GIVE THEIR LIBERTY AWAY LIKE BRAINLESS MORONS, YOU READING THIS YEA YOU, ITS YOUR FAULT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. YOU ARE DIRECTLY RESPONCIBLE, IF YOU DONT FORM A LOCAL GROUP TO PUBLICALLY FIGHT THE RIAA BY PROTESTING AND INFORMING PEOPLE, BY MAKING SURE YOUR SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN DOES NOT GET REELECTED, UNTILL ANY POLITICIAN REALISES THAT EVEN TALKING TO SOMEONE FROM THE RIAA WILL COST THEM THEIR JOB. UNTILL THE NEWS REPORTS MASSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST THE RIAA AND THE MPAA. AND THE COMMON IDIOT REALISES, HEY THAT RIAA IS TRYING TO TAKE MY FREEDOM AWAY. UNTILL THIS HAPPENS YOU ARE DIRECTLY RESPONCIBLE FOR ANY THING THAT THE RIAA AND THE MPAA DO, BECAUSE YOU ARE FUCKING USELESS INCOMPETENT SHEEP AND YOU DESERVE TO HAVE EVERY LIBERTY YOU HAVE STIPPED AWAY FROM YOU, UNTILL YOU ARE A PRISONNER/SLAVE RUITINELY FUCKED BY THE MEGACORPERATION THAT YOU HAVE CREATED.

Anybody that thinks star trek and any derivative of it is decent science fiction needs to be shot. Star trek inc was the worst scifi ever made it put a bad light on science fiction and its only recently been shaken. The show was blatently unrealistic, took no account of reality and was the most horrible travesty ever to be broadcasted. The fact that therre are allot of people who are so stupid that they actually liked it is shamefull. Anyone who likes star trek is a moron with no concept of reality and they should be sterilised to ensure that they don't reproduce and polute the gene pool. Here is my list of the top 10 1) Xfiles 2) milenium 3) space above and beyond 4) Battlestar galactica 5) Farscape 6) Stargate SG1 7) Babylon 5 Im to tired to remember any other shows.

Microsoft, the company that is indirectly responcible for 99% of the in the world ( zombi servers, shoddy security, poor defalt security, ect ect). because of their horrible OS the world is beset by spam to begin with, and they spawn a multimillion dolar industry, anispyware, antispam ect. sues a spammer, and wins. this is like putting a loaded gun in a crack neghborhood with a note saying here are the directions to my house, i have a pound of crack six naked virginal daughters, i am unarmed and dont know the number to the police department, then after a crack addict showes up to rob you, you sue said crack addict, for all of their money. this is essentially what MS has done.
And there was an incident in the early pre-release days of NT where our boot sector code broke multi-boot with OS/2; in that case, despite claims of outrage from the Blue Ninja Clan, it was simply that we had never tested that configuration; once we heard about the bug, we fixed it and added it to our test mix.
Ive been around computers for a long time and ive never heard of the blue ninja clan, can anyone enlighten me.

Microsoft, the company that is indirectly responcible for 99% of the in the world ( zombi servers, shoddy security, poor defalt security, ect ect). because of their horrible OS the world is beset by spam to begin with, and they spawn a multimillion dolar industry, anispyware, antispam ect. sues a spammer, and wins. this is like putting a loaded gun in a crack neghborhood with a note saying here are the directions to my house, i have a pound of crack six naked virginal daughters, i am unarmed and dont know the number to the police department, then after a crack addict showes up to rob you, you sue said crack addict, for all of their money. this is essentially what MS has done.
And there was an incident in the early pre-release days of NT where our boot sector code broke multi-boot with OS/2; in that case, despite claims of outrage from the Blue Ninja Clan, it was simply that we had never tested that configuration; once we heard about the bug, we fixed it and added it to our test mix.
Ive been around computers for a long time and ive never heard of the blue ninja clan, can anyone enlighten me.
