Yeah. Battle is to be won in courts, not on the net. If they succeed in proving that internet damages their profits, then they will be able to sure anyone that has any link to the internet community. SUE THE WORLD, IT CAUSES LOSSES IN OUR ANNUAL PROFIT MARGINS!
DCMA is a tool and we shall use it, but it shall be only a sand speck in an effort to topple RIAA and MPAA. Some may say that I am missing the point, but laws once created and made REAL, we're all fucked. This is a HEIST OF THE CENTURY and we have to prove wrong those SHITESTERS. Making money out of the thin air - americas freedom is under siege!
Stop. They already lost. But its not about that. It is about GET RICH QUICK scheme, one that is forced down every one's throat of this world citizens! Corporations now own the culture, and if we to change it, we are danger to their profits, so we have to advise them of culture change - or we're criminals and RIAA will have to call Defcon5 because no one pays taxes anymore to RIAA. FUCK THAT. How do we proceed from here on?
No one really knows. All we can do is peep,"We are the internet, resistance if futile. You will be assimilated."
Wasn't motto "To boldy go where no man has gone before" in effect, or rather "To cowardly stumble in our own back yard" is in effect? Lets send people there, figure out a solid way to support
them there, and make for a renewable modular facilities, factories and plantations? As they live there we can innovate here. Being there, scientists can do way more in terms of exploration, interaction with environment, thus we can learn more. Missions should be marked high risk and not televised all over, and should be kept under lock, so the normal order of things
would be preferred instead of making a soap out of it.
Make bold assuring steps in exploration of our
system. Unfortunately things cannot be done that way, because people want to see the show they paid money for, in taxes - where priorities for
missions break down.
What it seems that, money flow is comletely contradictive to what really should happen to
accelerate growth of technologies and quality
of our lives(and those abroad). Powerful people
who do business(cutthroat) seem to accumilate the
most while creative people seem to benefit the
least. Schools are extremely expensive and books
aren't cheap either. Where I get this - is
microprocessor should've changed many lives for
better... and it did but at astonishingly slow pace. What it means there's drout of technically
inclined people. I don't mean Universety graduates,
but those who push limits, know the field, love to
make things. It seems rather now, people won't do
anything unless they are paid in some form or another,
they don't create things for the heck of it, at least very few do.
Processors like these in cellphones could've been
engeneered long time ago, but companies would scoff at
financial potential, so they will not sponsor anyone
to tinker with the stuff, and if they did they
would want to take all the rights - work for hire.
Yes but more efficent time management is more efficent I notice on myself. Like compile a kernel, then do work on my GL stuff. Even shorter, code being compiled, I'd click and check mail... REAL concurrent multitasking is very expensive ANYWHERE, even on PC. Basically you have to maintain states transparrently and that costs alot, wether in the head or in CPU...
Multipurpose cells, are waste of time, unless alot of people put quite a bit of diligent work into making services that available through cell phones. Countless times, I liked to check weather reports from Cell , but I couldn't. Interfaces are too clunky with what we have here. You need
different mindset when working with some 90x180
pixel displays, each pixel is precious and wasting
it over *MLs is quite counterproductive.
But wasn't 3G spectrum allocated to military in wake of WTC being chopped down? Hence I assume 3G will not be implemented in US anytime soon... or EVER.
1. If such devices will be the only present item on the market, someone will hold licences to the media control. I bet it would be Hollywood and friends.
2. If you are a small guy, making movies, you will have to pay Hollywood tax.
3. Media copies bit to bit can be produced in China for pennies, media control devices will not
help with that.
4. Media control hardware/software will raise current hardware costs throughout electronics market, because that what sells - multimedia.
Tape is multimedia - sound and moving pictures,
two streams at once.
5. Would contribute to negative market climate present now, by obfuscating formats and systems, then people would be very confused on what to buy - a control free DVD or a DVD 2.0 for which latest movies would be available.(just example)
Thus this will encourage wait before you buy thinking.
6. Will discourage artists that are not so popular or supported by RIAA & MPAA and friends,
thus contributing emptying of already barren artistic media space.
I can keep going, all it comes down to is MPAA&RIAA not only don't want to share, but think that we owe them a TAX on the media their constituant parts make copies of and sell, at large profit margin. They are looking to keep profitablity curve and that is only possible by becoming a semi-government part, where you don't adhere to anything government, but you can collect all taxes you want!
Haven't americans learnt it already? So they will patronize and pay hackers to fight bin ladden. So they will win. So they have a ton of uneasy hackers spinning on their chairs. So they will collect them and lock them up befor they will become computer binladdens. NOW. Most of Afganisatan does not even have radios, nevermind computers and networks. Hack Afganistan? Nope. Hack the hackers. Tie people who will rebel on the event when miliarty order will descend, and you got no resistance, at least from computer side. Remember embarrasments DOD and CIA had when their sites were defaced? Time to get back at those pranksters, with a national pride as a tool.
Computer innovation, that was mostly done via tinkering and actual analysis of the way things work, is DEAD. People having fun brining down systems because apparently selling underware on the web is of utmost importance for american nation. Think this is blessing for sysadmins? No. Now coprations don't need teams of sysadmins
maintaning security and stability of the site. As long as they can blame service collapse on some script kiddie with large sack of lawyers, they will do that.
Script kiddies are irratation to internet community nothing more, serious hackers are of a thread to real corporations, but often they don't include in their budgets a REAL security teams that have hands on experience with hardening kernels, but rather hoards of mathematitionas analysing flowchars. Now its gonna change. Lawyers will replace security teams, and sysadmins role will be installing new software, and tracing connections to nearest point where lawyers will be deployed.
This is hot headed measure that will damage internet environments and synergy they are in now. It will focus security of reprimand not of real safety of systems.
I hope Ashcroft goes to HELL. Oops I already sound like whitetrash Bush family....
Have you worked for Microsoft? Then you don't know what you are talking about. Business is business, and you don't have to treat anyone nice, but your clients until they sign your contract and then you fuck them over. Well thats mentality of most business industry. Workers come very last usually.
Microsoft is very very successful company, and they have ridden to success on bad will broken hopes and pissed off customers. Businessmen that I know that are rich are wolves. They would sell their own family if they get good "DEAL". And that goes for quite a wide range of them. As for jobs, there's always plenty of them every where. If you live in Potatotown, Utah chances you won't be able to find a job to create latest state of art UNIX servers, multi-tier systems or manage clustered hogeneous Database environments or man multiple OC-3 backbones for major corporate traffic.
Deal is you have to learn learn and learn. Have books more than you weigh, so that you can just open up and read something that is not related to your work, but in the end will help you communicating with rest of the company, and thus keep and possibly enjoy your job. I know sysadmins well, sometimes hangout in systems room, but I am C++/Perl/Python coder. I can do their job as well, from that comes respect and synergy. When I ask them to install some perl packages for such compilation of perl in that dir, they do it. Fuck management. Sometimes there's no budget for things, so I have to launch my manager into accountant's office, but thats pretty much he's all good for.
Main thing is you - find something that you are interested in - hack it, learn in make something. If you are for $$$ in computers get the fuck out and learn MBA. Computers is not well paid industry compared to what you can make being lawyer, manager or whatever. Sure its not serving fries, I have immigrated to Canada and had not worked in any but computer industry - learned all myself, Win 32 APIs, POSIX coding, C++ with Object modeling, Perl system administration power tools. And I consider it fun. Yeah drinking in office crown royal on company funds is fun as well. But thats not criticaly interesting part of the job.
Main thing don't get discourage by media push - this is bare market, there are no jobs. BULLSHIT.
Theres plenty of work, Unix administration, C++/Java programming. Even Perl programming! I was being recruited by bunch of young people that were using mod_perl for their backend WAP server. They are startup so I stuck with my gambling company job, doing C++ programming. Media is paid by large corporations to drive price of programmers down, its in the corporate's best interest. From last time I was laid off, I got 20% raise. My buddy got 40% raise. I don't see any "bare market" in that.
Business people want you to think that there's less good jobs so your lower your bid on interview, and thats all there's to it. Don't get caught in negativity, even if its all around your and you will see yourself floating to the top faster than anyone around you.
Well, not really, but mostly they are designed
for MOVEMENT of data as fast as possible. There
is very little logic and optimizations for the
mathematical calculations. There are extra modules
you can get for doing ultrafast math, the fact
remains, when you buy a mainframe you pay for
technology that was made to move data not
do any calculations. Supercomputers are
mainframes that do computation very well.
Compilers for those things resemble giant hairballs
due to setups for specific pipelines, preparations
to do some parts of code very very fast.
Thats why Beowulf(?spell?) is such great thing, because
mass market CPUs are dirt cheap, they do math
very fast, and scalability potential is enormous.
Thats the trouble. I call the problem, mixing
impedances. When you take many different software
pieces and try to make them stick together well,
you have to drop some cool features, that
either of the packages provide to match the
other 'common' tools available. With GUIs,
that built from ground up, you are able to offer
some more nice features. However developing one
bloatware package is very expensive for everybody,
so there are only few success stories for the
bringing a package that really has advantages
over CLI tools, and helps get the job done better.
Often too, people who develop such tools, they
concentrate on programmers'(customer) comfort,
and not on the final quality of the code compiler produces, later play catch up on that, often
too late.
So yes it is more different.
How about ada? Ada95 is one of the most efficent
languages to program for, assuming you will be
doing object oriented design or embedded apps.
Java isn't doing all that well in embedded world
and C++ is a joke when it comes to cost of the
production. Not many people look into ada,
but they should. It is a baby of DOD, to cut
costs on development of software. Last time
DOD ventured into computers they made internet.
I think we should listen to them on this one

Just expect people send voice messages to you
like ones from call girls/boys, y2k liquidation

bit number would be of more appropriate spacing.
How about this one - extensible id. first 8 bits
will point to number of bits in rest of the number
so that now we can use like 32+8 - 40 bit scheme,
and when time hits and we populate universe
we can up the bit number to 256. =) Any one got
calculator for 2 ** 256 - 1 ?
On other hand hex numbers would even better idea.

Hit number two to US - world relations. Show how
undiplomatic you are dealing with visitors in
your country less will visit, those US ones who
visit will feel the heat or be burned when visiting.
Perhaps it is good time to jail few diplomats in russia
and beat they with free weights wrapped in multiple
towels, then let them have a call back to inbredland
Pleading for help. Do so few rounds, they won't
fuck
around like that anymore.
Addition to that, many creative types will be
seeking employment in countries that don't inhibit
this type activities. Ultimately this resembles
witch hunt, that started when Lenin died and
real communist times ended, where people who would
speak out against new leaders would be sent to
north camps to dig frozen dirt with bare hands,
and survive on bread and water. Threaten US
programmers with that, make hundred or so examples,
put in reward system for pseudo leads, and you got
a fear based totalitarian regime. But this is
only step one in a hundred. Canada for example does
not have strong patent enforcement system. =)
