I tried to sell stuff on ebay, it was really good stuff, but then people started leaving me negaative feedback, it was like BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP and then everything got all messed up. It was really good stuff too. Now I just get stuff at Fry's and everything is so much better....
They changed the name because people who care about such things do know what Palladium is. MS is likely betting that Joe Sixpack is less likely to be interested in finding out the threats "next-generation secure computing base" poses to his privacy and ability to use technology. Whereas "Palladium" is something much easier to pay attention to. Seems like the semantic equivalent of security through obscurity.
In other news, does anyone else think it interesting that they are releasing the source code to part of Palladium? Cnet was a little thin on details about that though.
Yeah, that's the ticket, Saddam's been up all night long for weeks in his bunker downloading 'sploits and talking to k1dd1es on IRC orchestrating this attack. He only took time off to praise Allah and to torture a few dissidents; other than that, he's been boning up on MS SQL for the past few weeks.... Sure, he says, the Great Satan might blow me away with their tactical nuclear weapons, but they will feel the mighty wrath of Allah when their unpatched SQL servers go haywire. I will hit the imperialists where it hurts by introducing significant delays in their pr0n downloads and ecommerce traffic....
I am getting pounded on port 1516 from the same address over and over; about 2/minute. It's been going on all night long. Seems to be a Lotus Notes port; is this a totally different attack?
Documentation is for wimps! Read the source! If you don't understand what it does, just pretend you know what you're doing, like the rest of us. Type./configure,make,make install and pray that you don't mess anything up. Then boldly brag to your friends that your upgraded dtags are really useful when you run xsltproc. They'll be impressed, and if they ask you what the hell that means, just huff loudly and snort, "RTFM, newbie!"
Just what I was thinking. As if the Mac doesn't already have a reputation for being fruity, someone goes ahead and installs PEAR. What's next, grape? Papaya? Just don't put an OrangePC card in your machine or it will turn out to be a lemon.
You know what? If Rip/Mix/Burn is the equivalent of "Fuck you, record companies," then I'm all for it. A couple weeks ago I sat in front of my computer with the lead singer of Dandy Warhols, whom I had just met. I didn't know much about their music, but he wanted me to hear their popular song. So we went to his band's website. Then we went to the record company's website. Then we went to mp3.com. Then we tried altavista's mp3 search. Finally we found a crappy copy on gnutella but only got 3/4 of the song. If RIAA had its way we wouldn't have even found that. Now, this is a band with a hit song and a major label contract. Their stuff is played on KROQ and MTV (at no cost to listeners, I might add). There seems to be something supremely ironic - and patently absurd - about the lead singer not even being able to download his own music to play for a friend. It was pretty clear that he didn't think that I was ripping him off, or that if it were easier to find his music on the web he would be less popular. It was also clear that as the artist he had little control over (and perhaps little interest in controlling) the way his music is distributed.
Why not 256 or higher? I'd be willing to pay a reasonable amount for music that could be reliably downloaded and, as you point out, where you could trust the quality and the accuracy of what's in ID3. As it is now I rip my music from CD at 256 or better and use CDDB to get the tags. That's great if you already have the CD. I can't do that with what I have on vinyl, and the record companies don't offer it on the web, so the only alternative is the p2p networks. Which means an unreliable download, possibly not getting the whole song, no ID3 tags, and a bitrate of usually 128 -- yecch. 192 is a little better but if these are coming directly from the record company there is no reason for them not to offer higher quality. I'd gladly pay for that rather than just hoping that what I find on gnutella is going to be useful. It wouldn't be hard at all for the record companies to compete with p2p networks and win, or better yet to use the networks to their advantage. But they choose not to. Probably because their egos are so damn big; these people really do think they have a right to another $16 everytime someone hears "Baby One More Time."
On another note, what is your sig a reference to? I feel like I've heard it before, but what the hell?
This is idiocy. Why anyone still wastes their breath blaming Nader for Bush, rather than focusing on Bush now, makes no sense to me. It is Gore's own fault that he lost the election. If Gore wanted to appeal to the people who voted for Nader he could have tried. Instead he courted Bush voters, who went ahead and voted for, guess who, Bush. Gore chose to appear at least as conservative as Bush on most issues, and more conservative than him on many others. Nader didn't force Gore to distance himself from Clinton or to run a terribly unenthusiastic campaign. Nader didn't force Gore to actually lose debates to his intellectual inferior. Nader didn't force Gore to neglect to mention to voters that the economy was better than it had been in a long time. Nader didn't force Gore to neglect to mention that his opponent was a complete moron who represents a criminal family dynasty. Liberals and democrats need to stop blaming other people for their problems if they want to win elections.
How long until...This technology makes it into eyeglasses or contact lenses ?!?
As long as it takes for advertisers to patent contact lenses as a vehicle for ad delivery. I, for one, can't wait to be told what to buy by little animated sprites and has-been celebrities. Finally, give the hallucinations a little competition for my attention.
Then I certainly hope you don't let your children watch television or read magazines or books or newspapers or look at billboards or cartoons, all of which may occasionally use the word "porn." I certainly hope you're a troll, otherwise I fear for your children. People who think like you simply shouldn't breed.
yes there is a difference. A pirate attacks ships in the ocean, usually in international waters. Someone attacking boats in a stream would probably simply be a common thug.

I brute forced the lock on my dorm room door when I was in college. It took a few tries, but I kicked and kicked until the door broke open.

If anyone did simple arithmetic in the last election, Gore would be in the White House.
Karma whore.

Actually, it's already 20 fonts, if you count them properly, because the fonts are bigger than usual.
Yeah don't blame Linus; he displays fonts just fine when he uses a computer to do it.

How about you quit being such a troll?
So what is this great cooperative ISP called? How do we join? Can we get DSL in southern California?
Yeah but I like the idea of malignant users.
