I just checked out tubgirl. I think they could sue you. If I were on the jury they would win. Its just too inhumane and unusual to do to someone. I am going to go see if I can't salvage what remains of my ruined day.
Not to nitpick but 64bit aint all about stuffing more ram in the box, its also about using the larger numbers without all the fiddling with them in your application. Generally, I admit, you dont have to use the large number support, but when you do its really super keen nice. Especially on my laptop.
undermining the relationship of trust that has been established between the industry and vendors.
Trust. Right. Gotcha. I think I saw some of that laying around here the other day. Oh, wait, that wasnt you. Oh, you meant vendors, not consumers. Now I get it, it's a money thing.
Let me give you a hand with that:
Get your useless crap over here! Step up and win useless crap! (sorry, I can't remember exactly how it goes, I will demote my geek ranking)
and the near term motivation is the idea that Bell can't charge google. Its not fair that google makes millions by providing a service and Bell only gets the subscription fees. Its just not fair. Bell needs the legal ability to extort google if it is going to survive and have money to 'innovate'. much of the article was a stretch however this is slightly disturbing and believable:
He is writing the article pseudonymously because the cell phone companies have the power and freedom to crush his company by blocking it from their networks.
Its all about extortion. Its the American way. Who are we to stand in the way of progress?
And I hate the way my keyboard handles my drunk posts. It like, does no validation whatsoever. Damned keyboard. I wish they would build a more secure keyboard.
I know he is suggesting that they are not throwing snowballs at Open Source, but specifically at full disclosure. However, if you go ahead and a read a little more into it, phrases such as
"We're not taking aim at the open-source movement; we're talking about the full-disclosure model and how that effectively serves malware development," he said.
become more transparent.
What effectivly serves malware development also serves things like clamav and snort. I suspect this botnet thing is just a short term issue for them, the long term problem is full-disclosure used to defend oneself. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe it is all about malware developers becoming more effective. If thats true then this reads like an appology for being ineffective.
Or maybe its just a sad cry for help. Like a suicide note left in a conspicuous place. Its fun reading things into things.
"This has been a test of the emergency broadcast system" - CBC. When in fact it was just a test of my patience. Can we please limit this to commercial time?
Oh I guess it wouldn't be very effective unless it was able to intterupt everyone in what they were doing. Welcome to the new and improved "in your face" politics. Next they will be legislating mandatory PVR passthrough, telephone interrupt, and server pushed popups, just to make they have our attention for the weekly test.
Ok, it probably wont be that bad. It might even be a good thing when we really need it. But I am skeptical.It just seems like it has a huge potential to waste a truck load of time over the years.
And I dont think the grand plans of our forbearers have really turned out the way they planned. Planning is a good idea and it helps groups of people pull in similair directions (or gives them something to pull against). But I think we have survived thusfar despite the planning. I believe we will survive the same way we always have. Humans will survive by accident.
I think I speak for the collective when I say "Fucking Jerks". I am not normally a "Can't we all just be friends?" kind of guy, but this crap has to end and I think we could really use a self evaluation right about now. We owe it to ourselves and everyone else. You heard me.
Besides just throwing this rant, I am also never using Western Union again. For anything. I am so sick of this rediculous bullshit and I am embarrased to be associated with fucks like this in any way. I am certainly not going to give them any of my money. They wont miss me, and I wont miss them.
Besides, everyone knows that terrorists get all their money from working taxis in New York.

Clearly the solution for stopping people finding security holes is to make distributing open source hacking tools illegal. Isn't this already covered by the DMCA or do we need a new law?
They are illegal. Not in words on paper, but in practice. Prosecutors like smoking guns, and thats how they use trivial shit. Just get yourself suspected of a related crime, and then have said tools on your laptop."Was there any evidence that the defendant used such tools?" "Yes ma'am, we found something called 'cracklib' on his laptop which is used with other tools to cracking passwords, there is no other reason for it your honor".
I also learned one other thing that day; judges have zero sense of humor. I think its a requirement for the job or something.
According to http://andrewhitchcock.org/ (which seems to be the source) the search for "Britney Spears" is well above the search for "porn", and I just dont buy it.
Oh wait, now that I think about it he did not include the search for "lesbians caught in the act while I was walking my ferret". Which Specifically does not include the word "porn". I begin to see the issue...
Anyhow, this Andrew guy has articles dateing back to 2001. Its mostly trivial stuff relating to his life until recently. And then it relates to google. So my guess is that people who do a search on google sift through the pages of results and end up on his site. The way I figure it you pretty much have to be interested in google or Andrew before you could wind up there. So his statistics are probably correct. However, the test is screwed to begin with. So in the end there are two flaws. The fact that Nick Farrell does not seem to care about what he writes as long as its antagonistic (I use this one sample only as evidence) and the second flaw is that we are talking about it.
Besides, I didnt see my searches for "lesbians" anywhere in the statistics, which doesn't seem quite right.
Its big in other places than the US, Germany for instance. In the US its not so big, I would guess about #3, maybe #4. Less than RedHat for sure, but possibly more user base than debian.. in the US. Check your local retail store like Best Buy, they will have RedHat, Mandrake?, and SUSE. Or at least, last time I checked.
FTA In May, after a series of e-mails and phone calls, he picked her up at school, took her out to eat and to a movie, then drove her to an apartment complex parking lot in South Austin, where he sexually assaulted her, police said. He was arrested May 19.
What was the email client? If it was Outlook then there is a certain expectation of the twerp being in the money... Microsoft has deeper pockets than Myspace. What car did he use? Who owned the parking lot where the assault took place? For that matter what movie theater was so irresponsible to allow those two to sit together within talking distance? People have to understand, we must keep people like this seperated and its our responsability. Oh wait, he was arrested for the various crimes including the assault? Oh. What were we talking about again? Oh right, Myspace. Maybe they could just protect the kids by prominently displaying a warning label:

Instead of having friends over to watch a movie and comment on it, you can now buy a soundtrack with people pretending to be your friends,
Not exactly, the only one pretending you have friends is you. Other than that, you have the right of it.

Is this a solution looking for a problem? Maybe these are the kinds of guys who water cool thier toasters. Or maybe the XBOX sucks by design.

I would prefer something like a small, solid-state hardware device. Is there any such thing available?"
