Hmmm... *strokes chin*... At 1280 x 1024 on my monitor I can still clearly pick out single pixels. Someone could tap the monitor circuit [albeit VERY FSCKING CAREFULLY!!] to grab the rgb+v/h/sync signals, feed them into a normal VGA to TV converter, then into an encoder card or VCR. Maybe? I'm no tech expert.
Ah, watermarking... A little curcuit trickery after the tapped monitor should/could sort that out I imagine.
Can anyone with electronic expertise comment on this?
A dumb jackass [no, that's offencive to Mr Knoxville and anyone called Jack] I mean fucktard niceley demonstrates the way the media/government can controll peoples opinions.
So very few people will, when questioned, question the question. They will do as you did [like a good little tax lamb] and instinctiveley try to answer the question, rather than saying "Uh... Don't be so fucking dumb, most people don't hate Muslims, just the severeley dumb and disinformed minority!".
OK Congress fuck people in the arse, passing laws that are at least dumb, more often destructive/oppressive. That is not news, and certainly not worth commenting on.
As for fixing the DMCA, it will be fixed when there is a mass backlash by consumers. That will happen not when [not if] the DRM is both crackable and very often cracked by Joe Average, using relativeley cheap technology or a process similar to console "chipping". It will happen when hollywood goes after Joe Average for doing so.
At the end of the day us geeks are fscking useless at mass action, and we're outnumbered by Joe Average. Many people simply do not realise this simple point.
We are not fighting against our totalitarian governments, against their subservient mass media, against the MPAA/RIAA etc., because they are ultimateley powerless! Joe Average is the majority of voters/consumers/workers. The mind of Joe Average is the territory to be fought over. Governments know that. The media know that. Joe Average does not know that.
Look back at the election of Woodrow Wilson; his anti-war stance was what got him into power. Then he decided to go to war. Within months, with the help of the Creel Commission [a.k.a. The Committee on Public Information], the public was behind him. Hitler had his arse kicked, and was most impressed with the efforts of the CPI. The rest is history...
Oh and propaganda was also appealing to the ruling classes because it took care of the problems they faced from the population having that pesky new "vote" thing...
As well as the spectrum re-selling/thought control [cant think what you don't know; you only hear about the coverups that don't work, blahblah...] mentioned already, digital signals use less spectrum space, and (if the protocol is designed well) are more tolerant to interference.
gogle.com is still accessible. If I were in charge at google, I'd just make that domain point the site rather than redirect. You know, just to piss the chinese authorities off, 'til they find it and block it. AFAIK google own a few other mis-spellings of their domain.
What I'd like to know is what sort of backlash there is in china against The Great Firewall? I very much doubt that this blocking goes un-noticed, yet I have never heard anything about any sort of resistance to it in china or any other country in the media, although it almost certainly does exist.
I'd also like to add that I believe hacktivism to be, at least in this case, piss-all use, and that graffiti on government buldings is the way to get the message to the intellectual proles. And also the way to torture and execution.
Have a nice day.

For those that have recently purchased new Linux servers, 31 percent were adding capacity, 31 percent were replacing Windows systems, 24 percent were replacing Unix and 14 percent were replacing other operating systems.
Purchasing a new (additional) server is not a migration, Thankyouverymuch. e.g. I was born June '82, I did not migrate.:)
You link to a TIME article; "...like TIME, is owned by AOL Time Warner)". The article mentions "background" product placement in movies. I assume they mean "background" placement like this?;-)
Anyway... I'd have some hope of the/. eds actually looking out for this kind of crap but A) They obviously dont read their own zine let alone the comments, AND/OR they are the marketing scum. It really wouldn't suprise me. I think we should bug their phones, sat-track their cats, and put secret webcams in the bogs! *CowboyNeal barges into his mind* Ok scratch that.
Jodie Cadiuex, marketing manager of Windows Media Center, defends Microsoft's decision to copy protect TV programs recorded to the PC's hard drive.
"Microsoft is in a leadership position here where we've got an opportunity to help Hollywood feel comfortable with digital distribution and to help them develop (digital rights management) solutions so consumers can have content everywhere," she said. "We have two relationships we have to balance here: the consumer who wants the content and Hollywood so they feel comfortable with that process and don't clamp down and make that impossible."
OK here goes...

"Microsoft is a monopoly here where we've got an opportunity to suck off Hollywood [with regards to] digital distribution and to help them develop (digital rights management) regimes so the pathetic dumb cash cattle can have content everywhere [that's owned by us]," she said. "We have two relationships we have to balance here: the cattle who want the content [and their pesky fair use rights] and Hollywood so they can make more money from that process and don't bung senators and make that impossible.

The DNS system is basically a phone directory for the internet. It takes a domain name and spits back an IP number.
What prevents somebody from starting their own TLD and just claiming it for use?
The 8 [I think, or however many there are] big fat hot root servers sitting around the world at various hush-hush locations, the big hard doors they're hidden behind, and the fact that you are not authorised to go and fiddle with them.
Are there laws? Not exactly, AFAIK, but see above.
Trust issues? Yeah, we could never trust people to just make up new TLDs whenever they wanted. Oh, and we don't trust ICANN.
Or is it just that everyone's DNS server would filter out/be incompatable with it? To take a effect across the internet, it would have to be introduced by the root servers, then over the next few hours it would filter down to all the other DNS servers. They could be at ISP's, Uni's, or wherever.
With all this trouble that ICANN('T?) seems to cause, I guess my real question is, who needs them? We do, the same way we need governments. The DNS servers we use [that usually means the ones owned by our ISP's] update their info from the root servers. They could just as easily set their servers to update from somewhere like OpenNIC as well as the usual servers, but generally speaking, they just don't.
Maybe it implies that your computer is secure unless you download the patches regularly? Like a vulnerability is not a vulnerability until Microsoft acknowledges it?
I just iron all my mail. Use a trouser press if you have loads.
If it's from a government agency I also make a point of chucking it in the microwave just to take care of any nanotech surveilance devices. I'm serious about stopping "them" tracking me in any way!
I've made a mess of more than a few credit/debit/store cards though.:(
Better quality and preventing piracy [though perhaps also some "fair use"].
There's really not much to complain about here as things stand, although what about royalties? Can people trust Sony not to screw people with fees for distribution by SACD?
It was a group of researchers linking several telescopes at a single site together using very precise optics to gain an image equivalent to that of a telescope with a mirror as big as the area "pegged out" by the separate telescopes. The precise optics is the thing I was thinking of when I read this article; they had to combine the images from their telescopes with extreme precision.
But seeing as they have managed to at least partly overcome that difficulty here, great:) What I don't understand is why the telescopes have to be far apart. I'm thinking specifically of the optical system used in the system I saw on TV years ago. Why the heck would a few hundred yards between telescopes matter when viewing an object a few hundred [or more] light years away?
I just get some little inkling it might be related to the principles behind holograms. Can anyone shed some light on this?
