You want to remove the movie from the freeway race where they drive at 160mph. But lots of people die at 150mph, so let's remove videos of the freeway race where they drive at 140mph. But lots of people die at 100mph, so let's remove videos of the freeway race where they drive at 100mph. Lots of people drive in the freeway at 100mph, so let's remove those videos, too. But lots of people die at 55mph, so let's remove videos of people driving at 55mph. But lots of people die at 35mph, so let's remove videos of people driving at 35mph. But lots of people die in their sleep, so let's remove videos of people sleeping. Lots of people die when they disagree with the government, so let's remove videos of people that disagree with the government.
In this regard, USofAns are right: freedom of speech is freedom of speech, and it's all or nothing. When you take out _one_ of the videos, you usually open the door for someone dictating the tone.
to go right with your metaphor, the "condom police" picks up a girl/guy in a bar, takes s/he to a hotel room, asks if they can go bareback, s/he says yes, receives a fine and a slap on the wrist (possible mandatory safe sex lessons) and goes home. Seems sensible to me.
The ideal IPbl scenario is: the collateral damage "innocents hit" force their ISP to block/evict the bad guy, everything goes back to normal after a short while. The ISP takes the hit (in financial$$ form) for the blocked time, evicts spammers faster next time around.
No, they aren't, because the Firefox name and logo are registered and well-defended trademarks, so you can't modify them, etc. Iceweasel is Free, though.
I think the point of Wayland is that it's actually not an X server at all (despite misleading article title) but could be used as an X server replacement for Linux; applications would have to be written or ported to it as it wouldn't be running the X protocol (however, a port of the X server could allow X apps to run in the same way as running an X server on Windows or OSX allows you to use X apps on those platforms).
All in all, this seems like A Good Thing(tm)
Where did you get this idea? The article implied in its text that Wayland is an Xserver, but one with another API besides the X protocol. And yes, I RTFA.
7,329 people died today while browsing the Internet. Sources inside the Interpol state that all of them were reading a tech news site called "slash-dot", and that their brains exploded without apparent reason.
Our shop (State Assembly, thirty million people State of Minas Gerais, Brasil) is slowly but surely going FS. Some people even scream "let's convert all desktops" from time to time, but the in-charges are still holding out. MS Office is history, though, so Windows XP, Oracle and a full-text-indexing-engine are the only proprietary pieces of software that do not have the phase-out date set.
Question from a non-tech: Is a hash values somewhat of a signature value?
Yes
That is, would it be possible for a jpg of "Little Suzie does the Walrus" possibly have the same hash value as "Aunt Gertude writes us about her knitting"?
Yes it is possible, but... it is extremely unlikely that it will happen (because of the intrinsic properties of MD5 hashes, etc...)
Are you saying that Free Software will be outlawed thoughout the Earth? Or pushed aside by hardware companies? Because that is exactly the opposite of the current trend (governments pushing for Free Software,/most/ hardware makers being more and more FS-friendly).
Depends on how you do it. I tend to use tor and a random wait time between gets to bring down the data over a few hours (up to a few days) and in one instance, because the URLs were easily guessed, I randomized the list to make it seem as if the hits were going to pages all over the place. I was never banned for any scraping activity that I have done.
The other guy just didn't care enough. Even with a lot of randomness, bots' activities stand out like a sore thumb in the logs. The only scraping strategy that "mingles" with real traffic is if you only download the pages when asked by a real user (user clicks on "Info A", you go to site B, fetch info A, display on your own terms for him/her).
Otto, above, made most of my arguments for me. With encryption, no one can know what I am passing in the network. Hell, one can even encrypt and embed (steganographically) others' copyrighted works _inside_ one's copyrighted works (I can make a video with six hours of me sitting on a chair picking my nose and steganographically embed on that video the whole "SpiderMan 2040" feature) Not to mention that false identities will _ever_ exist, and one can distribute (and download!) the works under a false or stolen ID all the time... But, thank you for playing!:-)
(people here at work thought I was having a seizure...)
That is the best definition of door locks' effectiveness I ever read.
But, anyway, the important thing is: once one thief (eventual or lock-picking) enters your home, he takes your TV and stereo; once one copyright infringer copies your movie, the whole internet has access to it via BT.:-)
And answering KasperMeerts above:
And who will be permitted to own a TV and a camera at the same time you think?
even in a police state the would have difficulty tracking all cameras and/or impeding clubs/families to own a digital tv and a camera. Notice that I told about a rig that does not involve breaking up the big-screen TV. Once one is willing to open his/her TV up, it's just a matter of substituting the physical screen for some millions of data entry points and recording away. But with nice calibration, even perfect/near-perfect digital copies via the analog hole are possible.
Slashdot Mirror
Somebody has being watching those "amateur allure" videos where the aspect is wrong in the headers of the file, huh? ;-)
It will be a sad day when MS release the source code for Windows 8.5 ;-)
Think of the *x hackers that will die of laughter after reading the code!!!

NOT. :-)
We are having mandatory safe sex THEORETICAL lessons.

Send the "melt your brain" e-mail seen in Fringe last week to the people that respond to the spam?

The diagnostic is "Windows".
Flash.
Explaining a little:
YouTube.
An experience that is _similar_ to IE/Firefox under Windows.
Inkheart is in the theatres here in Brasil for the last three weeks.
Maybe it just didn't hit the theatres in the OP's city/state/country??
I don't know about USC 17, but down here you _can_ do a copy for backup purpose. Period. You can't distribute it, but you can have it.
One. The maximum is one.
No, they aren't, because the Firefox name and logo are registered and well-defended trademarks, so you can't modify them, etc. Iceweasel is Free, though.
I don't think you'll ever see The Invisibles in the silver screen...
