I don't claim to even be able to post on this, but is it possible that the simple retention of water, i.e. hydrogen bonds, IN MASSIVE amounts, that are happening in the oceans could be the cause of this. If you think of unfrozen water in space, doesn't it form sphere's. And wouldn't it ossilate on the pushing and pulling happening on all the impurities of the water, i.e. not strick hydrogen or oxygen, but the stuff it bounces off of. Seems the ocean is pretty unpure these days.
If I capture a song from the radio on my computer alla mp3 then webserv that, would I still be doing wrong? I mean come on, It was just given to everyone for free right off the radio. Yeah someone paid for the airtime so that everyone could have it for free, but I'm not understanding how the internet is effecting their business. They give everything away for free anyway. Yeah yeah, with pop up add type comercials you can't seem to get away from. These laws that are about controlling people are going to get this government in alot of trouble.
I am ashamed of the country I live in. When it comes to ip. When a company with big money has more of a voice than the people who live in it, I call that proto-fashism.
Even this Capitlist-Socalism that people like to hang on thier sleeves is a far far cry from Democrocy. What on earth was I taught schools. It's Time for a COUP! I'm sick of being controlled by the actions of a few idiots with golden parachutes.
Down with the Fed's having more Control than the States. This country is obviously to big to control under one Government.
IMHO, Sony's piracy is there to make it difficult for the average user. As they know stopping those who are going to do it anyway, is useless.
But even more so i is there to show intent of protection. Makeing them elligable to quiet a few anti-Corp.vrs.Corp stealing type laws. As the courts don't destiguish from can be cracked in 2 hours via any p100, and uncrackable in 1000 years via 2-teraflop'ed super computer. They just look at intent. The intent to protect, and the intent to brake said protection.
I'm not to sure if someone can claim dead end job when "programming" has everything from the suggested bit banging to web-site -> database building to video games and graphics packages. I make it a plan never to stick to one job for more then 4 years. There are so many caveats of programming it's fairly easy to keep jumping to the most interesting one.
There are still many many applications that have not even been thought of by sci-fi writers. All you have to do is just challenge yourself to get there and do them. Seems suddenly when I'm doing something that doesn't exist on earth, dead end job doesn't even qualify as a possibility.
Unless you get to drive the company convertible on a red bull run to restock the mandatory weekend overtime company beach house on the company credit card. I doubt you will be able to find your job able to fulfill everything you desire. So why bother? Think outside the cubical.
Options are out there.. People who are in a dead end job have no desire to educate themselves. I'm not sure how that is the jobs problem.
I work for QWEST, which is a huge phone company here in the US. It is impossible to have digital switches and not be tracking the calls in some database somewhere.
Mostly because of one reason, Inter-State Inter-Lata rules and other smaller FCC phone line fair use rules. Qwest, Sprint, MCI and thousands of other businesses and sometimes counties own the phone lines and the switches. If I make a call, EVEN Out of country, and Go from Qwest owned phone lines to your Canada owned phone lines, Qwest and the Canadian owned company have to reach a agreement on what to charge for the usage, BY THE SECOND.
Third party companies house these charges. The company Qwest uses is called Telview, found at http://www.telveiw.com; it's called a TARIFF library, Telview makes their money by handling these charges and selling them to telecoms. EVERY digital switch in the world uses some system like this, or in conjunction with.
Now the database in play comes in not to track who you are calling so much. But because once your voice packet leaves Qwest lines it is not their propriety anymore and someone has to pay for the usage. Thus MCI can say you as a Qwest user, used X amount of trunk access on their lines, and charge Qwest X amount of dollars for those seconds. Qwest logs roughly about 140+ million phone calls a day, their system is considered by the FCC to be the definitively correct system, In audit type disputes The FCC will even use Qwest records as a third party advisor, because we track EVERYTHING, even all of the other telecoms, and almost all in the world. We just made it into Europe last summer. Anyway these millions and millions of minutes are charged at as low as -5 cent a minute to crazy 15+ cents a minute. It goes negative because of anti-monopoly issues regarding start up telecoms. Seconds are rounded and tracked to the nearest thousandth. On Qwest's system, an audit system HAS to be in place, this is part of FCC regulation crap, not to mention allows the FCC to more or less do their job. Generally that database doesn't have names in it. But the billing database that does have all your names in it if you subscriber to Qwest, private or not.... is a simple sql call away, it quite latterly lives in the same server farm... No stored procedures can link the two databases by LAW. Unless a search warrant is in place. Then with the officer there, we can link them. But the link has to be deleted also under the officer's super vision. Your records are tracked as up to two years, then deleted off, one month at a time. So two years ago to last month, we have no clue of whom you called, and are really glad to have a little more space.
The rule is if you can't use a blue box on your phone line, then you are traceable down to that specific phone. Digital Switch = Trackable.
p.s. For those who wonder, The system is Called NTU, Network Transaction Usage. We use Perl to gather data off the switches, not every switch is alike, including the os they run and the data needs to be parsed for the database. A HP/UX demon is used to process rules, and sort out how they should be poked into the database. While an oracle database floating on 36 partitions in a huge raid system is used to house the data while it lives. The machine NEVER goes down, even it does go down, monitor machines can quite literally mirror the drives and swap out so no data is ever lost. The coolest thing I've ever seen was my cowboy boss walk over to this multi-billion dollar a year machine and say, "Time to test the emergency backup units." These machines are located in other states altogether btw. Then he just pulls the power cord out of this rack mounted 8 by 8.
Nephythys (Nebthet)
Goddess of the dead; sister and wife of Set.
'Mistress of the palace', she wears on her head the ideogram of her name, Neb ('a basket') and Het ('a palace'). Daughter of Geb and Nut, Nephythys was married to her brother Set. They had no children. Nephythys seduced her other brother Osiris by making him drunk; their child was Anubis. When Set killed Osiris she deserted him in horror and helped Isis to embalm the murdered god. She and Isis are the protectresses of the dead; they are shown with winged arms, for in order to mourn Osiris they changed themselves into kites. Nephythys helped Hapy to guard the embalmed lungs of mummified people.
Being that this was/is written in the hyrogliphs and she was the goddess of the dead, I kind of can put two and two together.
If I remember right the.com tld is for commercial use i.e. non-profits need to be on the.org schools on.edu and governments on.gov miltary on.mil and ISP's on.state.country codes If I remember right that was how it was setup prior to this explosion, at the death of arpanet. Kinda neat to see a court holding up this.
I think what happened was the judge called some domain reg company in as an expert witness, and that is what they said. Non-profits go on.org Kinda why the opensource community is there. My two cents
------------------------------------- The best thing todo with an unbreakable toy is to break other toys with it. -------------------------------------
How have the crypto laws, ie the ones the gonvernment trys to enforce which in a round and about way state that all keys must be possible for the gonvernment to crack, play a part into the CSS not being able to produce a key in which a person is capable to crack with nothing more then a standard machine, ie pentium class or slightly better ? Are these type of restrictions in fact enabling this type of behavior from the IT community? Does the CSS people ever plan to try and support a non-windows communtiy, by maybe providing a posix based binary or something?
It doesn't take much of a assembly programmer to de-complie a binary, and peek inside. Sure it may take a few weeks to map everything out. But really, to me Binary's are source code. Just because not everyone knows how to translate, (basic math) doesn't mean that they didn't send it out OpenSource anyway. I can't beleive they are even trying to pull that crap. I hate this country.
hehe, no, W2k has partitions. in fact to get my dual boot to work right I had to bring up linux, linux fdisk, make my partitions, ie first gig was linux root, usr, and home, the next 16 megs was linux swap, and the last gig and a half, (2.5gig drive) was fat32, mark the fat32 as bootable, slot the bootable cd for w2k and reboot. This way windows doesn't even know I have a linux partion and thinks the fat32 partion is at the head of the disc, so thus puts it boot loader crap there. ALTHOUGH, you can get the w2k bootloader to boot off of what is truely the first partition, ie your lilo that sits there, and then get lilo to boot your windows partition, ie the last partition and go back and fourth.. I thought it was cute. Anyway, after windows is installed then go back and put linux up. Windows does do some wierd detecting and really trys to put it's crap at the front of the disk. So I just suggest making sure linux was last to write stuff there, cause what ever windows puts there to corrupt lilo with, it truelly doesn't need, still works fine with out even. Not to mention one can not configure lilo to point at a drive that doesn't have a valid boot sector on it. So you have to have windows installed first or at least that partion formated/s'ed that is. So in the end it's a catch 22, setting a dual boot is well, I'd rather have swapable drives. Sorry for the ramble.. just tryin to be helpful.
Just to back up your case. I work for IBM, in the IGS dev dep. IBM is only supporting OS/2 for germany, go figure it took off there.. No New dev products on os/2, instead everything is being ported to NT, and everything more then 4 years out for release ported to linux.
While as far as the PSX goes, you get the yaroze playstation dev kit, with has a pci card to put in your pc, hook it all up, and cross-compile to Risk 3000 Binarys, which is all big indian asm, so as long as that is your end product use what ever you want, C/C++/asm.
wait a minute, If I need my pcSN to buy something off the web, humm that could suck. I mean think about it, User/Password/SN, All this info goes together, If I'm at work and not at home then I can't buy anything off the web at work. This sounds very limiting, and not at all good for e-bizz.
Although I'm sure they'll come up with something to get around it.
