How about the defense lawyers take a stardard encripted DVD, copy the DVD in question bit-for-bit, burn it to a blank DVD and pop it into a handy DVD player. While this is going on, make everyone in the court room sit there, and when the process is done in about, several hours, there will be a copied DVD, not using DeCSS, which would more or less end the trial. And to further punctuate how stupid the entire thing is send the copy ov the DVD image across a 10 base T (standard college network, in my expierence) and see how long that takes. Im my best uneducated guess the entire process will take the better part of a day or two. I have no idea what the actual times are, but it seems to me that that would show the judge, jury, whoever that this is just another waste of the courts time.
What is really bunk about the entire music industry is the fact that tapes are 5-6 dollars cheaper, when the tapes are more expensive to produce, have worse sound quality, and are much easier to copy. Before I got rid of all my tapes, I would have to say 90% of them were dubbed. I mean what was really the purpose of "high speed dubbing" on dual tape decks. Yeah we are really going to use it only to copy tapes of "baby's first words" or "little jhonny singing new kids on the block" to mail out to family........NO. The music industry is still using tapes which are a)more expensive media b)more time consuming to make and c)have poor sound quality. The tape must be dubbed from a master where as the cd is pressd. one takes 5 minutes the other takes oh 4-5 seconds. Is it just me or is somehting wrong here. I am aware that people will buy new tapes to replace their old worn out tapes, hat is assuming they want to replace the tapes. So I guess that my over all point is exactly how much different is a tape from a.mp3? Aside from the obvious technological difference, but from a "pirating" standpoint they are not that much different.
Whyu are you using the ATI? the Nvidia cards have a nice driver set that utilizes 3d-now and the nvidia Riva128/TNT/TNT2 instructions. (lick the 3D-NOW and Voodoo2 in quake 2) performance is just great, and the TNT or TNT2 will just beat the socks off any ATI. This is just my opinion, i havent looked too fondly on ATI since they introduced the all-in-wonder, that was a pos. but I am getting offtopic now. please excuse poor grammer and speling, i was raised in Nebraska.
i was actually thinking it was real, until i readthe part about Data being a walking vibrator, that is something that I am pretty sure an ulta-conservitive-religious-type-person would say. Also if you looked at the URL it was tzimisce69, another hint that the site is a fake, buause I am thinking that the samre religious type people would not have sucha blatent sexual referance. just my thoughts. but i am sure that the rest of you already picked that up......
your comment about school councilors is very wrong, they are the most worthless people in the schools, right up there with admin. they are just as paranoid as the admin, and IMVHO the person who has taken psychology 101 can do a better than them. there is much harm in talking to them, take for example Mr. Mackie off south park, there is your average public school counsoler.
all that i was trying to say earlier is that we have become that which we hate. i for one do not approve. the nazi's suppressed and killed their brightest thinkers because they posed a threat to Hitler's platform, the were killed unless they were of use in making machines of war. by making the "nerds, geeks and other outcasts" not feeling like they are worth something it is almost as bad as killing a person.
BTW i am from the US, i am a critic of our society. IMVHO capitilism has failed, which has led to valuing objects more than people. there is a problem when the top 5% of the people have 95% of the money. think about that. unless there is a redistribution of the wealth it could become the top 1% has 99% of the money, then one person has all the money. and remember that only 10 years ago the number were about top 25% of the people had 50% of the money, these are numbers more to my liking. all the concern with trying to get the money has made our society forget what is important, people. if anyone succeds in having a society without people, let me know.
just my ideas, if you want to flame me or whatever here is my email bshelto1.NOSPAM@bigred.unl.edu
I have to agree with your statement that the US is has become everything that it has fought against this century, the US was jsut as bad as the Nazis and with their asian relocation camps, and now some of the brightest thinkers and the people who have the most potential to do well in the future arre now being persicuted (sp?). sounds very similar to Nazi Germany. Now the police and other people who "enforce" the laws don't need probable cause to search anymore? So because I think, and I don't fit into the social norms, the "man" can now obtain a warrent and bust into my home and do what they please? I can't believe what is going on these days.
Just the other day in Lincoln , NE a guy i know, who is a Goth, walks into my former High School and a teacher says, "It's because of people like that things like this happen." the teacher was of course refering to the Colorado events. What kind of society do we live in that this is tolerated? The kids mother called a lawyer and it looks like something is going to happen in the courts, but it will not be enough. I am going back to my high school to talk with the Administration, but I know it will be futile, they just cater to the jocks and the popular kids. But I feel obligated to try. This is something that we all should do, let the schools know what we think, they don't use the 'net, they know it's nothing but porn and sites that promote viloent behavior. And having never used the 'net themselves they are completely justified in their beliefs.
no.
High school was no picnic for me, but I found out the other night, while getting drunk with some people from high school, that I was aclutally looked up to, people liked me, and they respected my views. That blew my mind. The guy said it was because I was dtudent council president, and people thought that made me good people. When do I find out though? two years after I graduate. WTF? So to all you people still in the schools, life does get better, just hold on, we are with you. to the rest of us do something about the current issues, visit schools, there will be at least one group who will listen to you, start a community group, but get out and make a difference.
just my thoughts. I am also going to move to Canada, the US is not the place I thought it was.

They were showing mostly WinDoze systems. The show really sucked. I think I am now dummer for having watched it.
