No this goes way beyond though crime. Having real child porn in your possession is a crime. Even if you did not hurt a single child by making an extra copy. Having virtual child porn is not much different there.
In your logic even copyright infringement is thought crime. Nobody is hurt with an extra (private?) copy, but it is still illegal to exchange those ideas.
Just as it is illegal to create sic hate speech (in europe, not USA), it is illegal to create virtual child porn in this law.
Nobody like chilkd pornography, but child pornograpy and "terrorism" are used to limit free speech. Nobody likes censorship.
The really bad guys will hide in encryption and other privacy protection technology. In 2 years this law will be abused to use this law against common criminals like downloading music( sarcasm?). It is the letter of the law that counts.
But they did think correct about including forbidding computer generated images. There were reports that very lifelike stuff was created, where the boundaries between real and animated where approached.
After they bricked (?!) their machines they were unable to report it. Some reported no problems without failing to tell they ran vista. The idea that a installer for a ordinary userspace application, makes your machine unbootable is not very likely.
What is the difference? Just call it a Social Encyclopedia. Don't get mistaken what should be in a Encyclopedia to start with. I bet that there are quite a lot of respectable(wiki namespace respectable) editors who never read a old-school encyclopedia.
It would be worth a mention on/. That causes me to let firefox non-responsive a couple of times a day on the company network, where dns/proxy is slow as hell if you have a large.pac file.
Mr markting man is right. You can run ANY version (well, not always 64 bit...) of vista on a "capable pc. But as the MS page explains you will experience only core functions (=same as "vista basic).
There is no point buying premium, or ultimate on a capable pc, you pay too much,UNLESS you upgrade hardware later.
I am sure some people here can come up with a better word than "capable".
They first tried to fight the was like command and conquer, where you can clearly identify you adversary by the color of the uniform the enemy is wearing. Later they discover that command and conquer is based on Dune (not dune II!) where you need a mentat (adviser) how to handle the locals.
The difference is that Iraq/Afghanistan is not a game, but real people get killed for political reasons.
rememeber davsi that propsed to make it illegal to develop p2p applications? That proposal did have effect on the frech ability to develop software.
To implement this law one would need to have monitoring on the internet users. Since the rule is "not paid for", this monitoring needs to be connected to monitoring payments. you see trouble here? I do.
Because mail is peer to peer as well. And somebody is clogging the pipes with spam and really bad jokes. But hey, he is billionaire, so he should be right. And they should block your tube as well, because it is is clogging the pipes as well.
I fail to see why you would need administative privelidges however. You would only need to run in the userspace of the process that did run the random number generator before. Having administrative privs would be nice to inject code into that userspace, but is not needed i think.
It can get even worse if from a public key part the random number that was used to generate it can be extracted, what was done in early ssl implementation attacks.
If you do a hyperjump between galaxies that surely counts as a "level" to me. You cannot simply go back to the previous planet, if you do that you will have to fight all the pirates all over again since that level is loaded again....
If they did not change the version number nobody might have noticed. Even not it it was sold with a buildin trojan. What does that say about voting with computers?
those businesses that follow the every-other-release rule.
This does not make sense. If there was such a rule, the business that are now on the de supported windows 2000 will go to vista in the near future. The business that are on XP (sp1 or SP2) will skip vista.
And the rule is more , one new major OS every 8 or 9 years (what i have seen)
This really isn't much of an issue if you don't give your users admin rights. I used to work for a company who's name represents a really long river and we weren't given admin rights on our laptops. (I was a system engineer)
It is bloody trouble if you are responsibel of maintian applciation, but are not allowed to isntall them.
One solution i see more and more is that people are installing a virtual machine that has local admin. The network admins are not responsible for this virtual machine, but all the old virusses and security issues are right back in the network.
The encryption in torrent is not a big privacy enhancer since anyone can join such a tracker. (well, most of the times) The option was invented against isp's who eant to meddle with traffic.
By the way, since eMule has also gained encryption (it is called obfuscation there) it is hard to tell if it is eMule(bigger in europe) or torrent (bigger in US) traffic
Getting to work inside the current wiki think is not that simple. You first have to create/edit some articles to get to know that there are some wikipedians that have too much free time on their had to do some deletions .
to be "notable" means that it is interesting to current wiki editors who have time to fight out edit fights.
I am not sure that the argument is right. Saying that virtualizion add possible security bugs is like saying that adding a personal firewall is adding fucntionaltity and thus possible exploits.
Virtualiztaion is more secure IMHO than current process isolation in most operating systems, but both can fail.
Theo's argument about security just proves the argument of linux about Security is "people wanking around with their opinions" is not unrealstic.
You have torealize that the alternative to virtualisation is getting an extra box with hardware or run 2 application on the same box. 2 machines is more secure, second solutions sounds LESS secure.
Are you sure that Southpark is the source and did not use slahsdot as a source? Can you dig deep in the bowels of slahsdot and fin the first 1.2.3. and confirm it is after the first broadcast of southpark?

p2p applications use peergaurdian or other ip filters by bluetack that increase in size, but getting removed form such a ip blocklist is hard.
virtulkized windows will sure be a good thing in the next version version of windows.
It is the only answer against misbehaving programs.

YOu might have missed the fact that i did not come with math, only with facts.
YOu are attacking math,i did not do. I told you to do yourself.... 8-)
and 600-1500 is a WIDE range!
That is the correct answer.

A small google shows that current generation of 32 GB ssd cost about $599-$1500 (depending on speed)
the new version has double the capacity, do the math yourself.
And the 500 $ does not include any microsoft taxes for directx9.0 or 10.0 , also named windows Xp or vista.
Since even the nerds from firingsquad are able to do their benchmark on the 30 days evaluation version.
Some basic in authentication.
-Something you know (password)
-Something you are (biometrics)
-Something you have (key, token, gsm phone)
Making the password more secure does not make the access authentication much more secure.
