Doom anyone? I wonder if the thing can run. Seriously, I think it would be a little better to put a tazer on the thing. Guns kill. What happens when the robot kills the janitor who comes in looking for their pager? At least with a heavy tazer, you could stall the person long enoughfor the police to come.
The famous IANAL comes into play: At least in California (USA) isn't it unlawful to shoot someone for robbery? Do they not have to be armed and about to kill you before you can shoot AT them?
Maybe the author will "open source" the robot. Imagine the next tech support call...
"Its not the power cord." Me: "Check the power cord." User:"Its not the power cord. I'm smarter than that. I already checked the power cord" Me:"Check the power cord." User:' What do you know, the power cord is a little lose.." me:"Okay, I am going to send over..err..expect a visitor.."
Ten minutes later, several small ladybug robots scurry over the users cubicle and pounce on him and start jabbing him with the low power cattle prods. Of course, they scurry back to some hole in the wall.. You wouldn't want anyone to know whose they are.:)
This idea sounds pretty good! No matter what we do, marketing gurus will always find some way to collect new user data. Advertising people live by the data they collect. They have to prove their use! If we can effectively destroy their databases, then no one will believe them. The only drawnback I could see, would be Doubleclick taking the results as fact, and using that to get more people to sign up under its campaign, giving us more spam. (check out some preliminary figuring I did over at my site. Tell me if you see any major flaws in my math) Still, I am interested in helping set something like this up. Any other takers? Send me an email at john@johncglass.com if you are also interested!
Yeah, sure. How many mail administrators have never opened someone elses mailbox without them knowing? Did you get that raise you asked for? How did your annual review go? It's a fact. Every mail admin I know has opened someones mail at least once. I am sure it happens more than that.
Now imagine the same thing, except infinately worse. Board FBI person is sitting in his office late at night. Well, he has access to the carnivore system, so he drops in a few new rules. Save any mail with the words 'Natelie Portman.' There, now he has some porn to look at. Okay, but that wasn't enough. Now he wants to know what email his wife/girlfriend/lover sends around, since he does not have her password. Set up a rule to save her mail, and boom, there ya go. Now he is having lots of fun. He just starts scanning any mail with his name on it. Looks for anything with "last night was so good," "i want to fu" or "my password is." Now everything is getting really cool! You should see all the emails he is collecting! There are some really cool things people are sending around the web. Next he starts reading the mails of one of his cute coworkers, and then that girl he dated in high school and never got over (something about how he was a geek and had a really small penis, so now he will teach her and maybe even forge a few emails i her name)
Where does it stop? He can continue going. No one else would ever know he was doing it. The mails get through. Not 'everyone's' privacy has been invaded.. just those who happened to send a few emails that matched a few rules set up by some guy late at night.
There are lots of nifty pictures. They scanned the entire thing in! It seems pretty stupid to me though. I always thought theses new fangled computer things were supposed to save paper and space? And you have to print everything off, and then scan it in? It seems crazzzy to me.
Come on. I am tired of it. 99.999 % of people who use Napster use it to steal music. Yes, even I do. I love my free music. I steal it because it is available. When it is not available anymore, I will stop stealing music. No, stealing is not right. How can I sleep at night, knowing I have 2000 + MP3s from 200+ artists? Because I do not think the record companies have risen to meet the challenges of the Net.century. I am tired of hearing how 'Napster is made for the 3 artists who give their music away.' It is a bunch of bull crap. There is only one purpose to Napster: steal as much music as you possibly can, while you can.
It is the only way I can spit in the face of RIAA.
Maybe you need to look at getting a good RAID card. I have a Perc 3 DI attached to a fwe 10K RPM drives, and it is supposed to get up to 80+ meg throughput. Check them out. You can buy them from Dell.com
What if you just comment line to the beginning of the code?/*(insert all DeCSS, gnutella, etc, source code here) */
I am glad to hear at least some of America's judicial system just might be getting the hint about technology. If this judge learns, maybe we can have him sit on the board for Napster and a few of the others.
How about me make sure there is no live there first? Maybe before we go around causing a huge genocide of whatever might be there, we can get multiple samples of dirt back. Perhaps even send a few humans over there. Maybe humans can be smart for once and quadruple check everything before destroying another planet. But what if something alive is found? Even if it is micro single celled organisms / virii? Does humankind bypass the planet, or do we consider the life that grew independent of Earth a casualty in human progress?
Cheating does not always apply to having more charachters who get goodies and transfer them between each other. What about the people who create female charachters, in hopes of getting some guy to give them that level 14 sword of invulnerability? In my eyes, these are some of the worste. Some people are too lazy (or dont know how / dont know how to effectively play) RPGs, and HAVE to cheat. This does not make it right, but people cheat at ANYTHING. All of us have cheated in some way, sometime in out lives.. wrote that one word you could never spell onto your desk minutes before the spelling test.. took advantage of the money cheat in ROM 2.1, or even clocked in 30 minutes earlier than you should have. The people who always cheat in RPGs jsut bug everyone else out. In one mud I play, one person convinced other mudders to give her over 475 gold (in this mud, if you have 100 gold, you are very very wealthy) and she was level 4! The girl wasnt even 'strong' enough to leave the first town / level. That is what I hate..
Intel removed the ability to overclock their newer faster, top-of-the line processors a while ago. There was even a few posts in on of the last over-clocking posts here.
Over the last several months, ICANN has been allowing anyone to register to vote. The process is quite long: You have to register, give all kinds of information, then they mail you a package to your home address, and you have to get online again and finish the process.
Heh. Nah, IAS would not do that. I wonder what is going to happen to the poor server admin who looks at their hit logs (which up to this point in time have been filled with one or two outside persons a month - and of course the CEO who uses it as his start page and regularly refreshes it 10 times a day) and notices 5 million hits in an hour? Wait until marketing hears about it...
