I live and work in San Francisco, but my colleagues are in New Jersey (I work for a big telecom company you might have heard of). I'm sure that if I moved to NJ I'd advance more quickly in the organization and save more money to buy a nice big house out in the country... but I insist on living in the city and so have stayed here. I initially took this job for quality of life reasons, having previously commuted to San Jose (which really, really sucks). So lifestyle made a huge difference in my experience.
For me it wasn't so much the nightlife as the general convenience and fun of living in SF. But the rule still applies - I like shopping on Haight St., others like good nightlife. Employers who locate in the middle of nowhere ignore these factors at their peril.
Yes it is! For many people, anyway. I don't consider myself a heavy drinker, but I do enjoy a good Martini or Guinness every once in a while, and there is no fucking way I'd move to a dry county or a city like Salt Lake where the morality police are out in force.
I personally am not a likely candidate for Iomega, but I bet there are a lot of other people out there like me. So the guy is absolutely correct, in my view.
When you purchase copyright a copyright work, be it a book, picture, DVD, CD, VHS or cassette tape, you are purchasing the right (or a
licence) to enjoy the copyright work.
No! Your use of the word "licence" plays into the MPAA's hands. You are purchasing a copy of the work, and you have the right to do whatever the fuck you want with it. Or you should!
Hey everyone: Your comments that CowboyNeal's answers are boring are the most boring comments I've seen in a while. So he doesn't read the comments every day - so what?! You don't have to read the comments every day to be Editor at Large - on the contrary, if that's all you did, you wouldn't have time to edit!
[I]f Microsoft sells all of these shares at the proposed price of $2.5625 per share,
then Microsoft would only make $61.5 million--a figure that represents half of the $135 million price
Microsoft paid for the shares in October, 2000.
Maybe they're willing to take a loss to reduce their taxes?!
Sigh, yawn. Yet another copy-controlled piece of crap that nobody will buy. How many people own a Rio vs. a Music Clip? Thank you for playing, have a nice day.
I founded an independent newspaper in high school because the organ of the communist party - oops! the school paper - had experienced some, um, questionable editing that made the administration look better than the reporters had intended. We ran stories on all sorts of things, including race relations - occasionally the principal had us over for a chat, but because we were independent ("underground"?) and didn't use school funds, nobody could do anything to us.
I know not every school district is as pro-free speech as mine (Ann Arbor, MI) was, but still this is the right approach - if you get silenced by your publisher, become a publisher yourself.
The number of available random number streams and the combined bandwidth of these streams is high enough to ensure that no one can save these streams long enough to later select the right stream or combination of streams as the decryption pad.
That assumption seems very risky. As noted in other comments here, storage and memory keep getting cheaper. Wouldn't it be possible for an eavesdropper to get a massive number (beowulf cluster?!) of PCs with massive hard drives and just capture and store it all? Then the cryptanalyst, knowing approximately when the message is sent, would test the million (say) available, stored keystreams against the ciphertext using a similarly massive computing cluster. Moore's law hasn't failed us yet...
So what does it take for your initials to become a TLA? I know who RMS is, and successfully guessed (from NAI) who PRZ is, but (for example) what needs to happen for Linus Torvalds (as opposed to Lawrence Taylor) to become LT, and Rob Malda to become RM? Enquiring minds want to know.
Yes, I was too lazy to look up their middle names. Sue me.
My PacBell friend has even witnessed other PacBell installed pulling pairs that have Covad tags on them off the screws while winking and saying "Oops".
Happened to me when PB installed other (non-DSL) service at my home. Took a couple of days to fix. Not surprised at all.
So Nike decides not to make shoes with specific messages. So what? They're not a common carrier, or an ISP - they're a shoe maker, with their own fashion sense, and they have a brand to protect.
If you don't like the shoes Nike will make for you, or allow you to make, buy from another company.
Unless, of course, your real reason to "culture-jam" Nike is to get your name in print...
Don't flame this guy (though it is kind of a troll)... Arandir makes a good point. Bad headlines make for low credibility. Maybe CT and H should read their own FAQ:
If you want to go above 100 Mbps (as described below) you would almost certainly buy an OC3 (Optical Carrier, 155 Mbps), OC12 (622 Mbps), or above. DSx facilities aren't in common usage due to the much higher capacity of fiber.

Great idea! Sign me up.
Donation dollars at work?
Time to send more $ to the EFF, that's for sure.

Give the guy a freakin' break. Sheesh.

Especially when cutting off one's employees at the kneecaps is involved. It's about survival, man!
Good point. But is this true even now? You need a computer to generate the keystream, right?

Yup, they sure are. Again: so what? Buy Vans.
Yeah, but MPEG works everywhere.

true ... but also many of these folks fail to defend themselves. Getting, using, and defending aggressively a domain name can't hurt, it seems to me.
and start using it ... WIPO crapola notwithstanding, a record of using your domain name would probably be good for something.
This is one of the best posts I've seen in a long time. Too bad we have the +5 cap.
1. Promote quality, discourage crap.
give it a few extra days.
for some good alternative names. The best in my opinion was FRESH: Free Remote Encrypted Shell. Sounds good to me!
