What would you use for a distributed file system for Linux?
that's good enough for me.
often a client says they need a web site to maintain database data. you listen very closely to the business need and requirements and then say, "well, there's nothing that requires a web site to maintain the data, in fact it might be more secure to have a standalone applciation to maintain the data."
the client responds, "we need a web site to maintain our data."
they do make money, by selling the rights to someone to sing the song. music is much different than a book/article. the author doesn't make money off the publishing and people reading the written words, songwriters (however little) earn money off selling to someone else the right to sing the song.
most lyric sites aren't making money off of publishing lyrics. i think the copyright laws should allow for non-profit publishing of song material. no one else can still sing the song as a performance w/o giving credit (piece of he pie) to the songwriter.
lucas will die sometime and some schmuck will most likely take over the business. that person will make 3 more star wars movies if george lucas doesn't make them. hell, they'll probably be better than eps. 1-3.
first off, regarding the republicans... they don't hate government involvement. that's quite a misconception. they most often like their (federal) involvement to be on a global scale as oppose to focusing so much attention within the borders. the democrats aren't really much about central control as they are about spreading wealth around and making more into a middle class.
next, regarding your "too much taxes" statement. yes we're there, and we've been there for a LONG time. when an average family is making over 50k anually on a dual income, and the government is taking over 20% of that right off the top, that's means they're paying 10k anualy in taxes. that's too fucking much. sure there's decuctions all over hell, but then they're constrained to live a certain life style in order to pay less taxes (buy a home, have kids, etc). i could go and do some research on the federal/state budgets and show clearly where there's excessive fat being spent, but it's quitting time right about now. what i do know is that we are at a state of too much taxes and unfortunately there's no light at the end of the tunnel. hell, i have no idea if the tunnel ever ends.
lastly, ecommerce sale tax.. how about ecommerce transactions for b2b business? b2b services? the state sales tax is about the only one currently around that i would be infavor of keeping and even raising (in order to get rid of this assinine income tax).
is that written music or recorded music? there wasn't really recorded music at the time, but i'd say written music would be granted the same copyright as a written article.
i think the quoting has to be part of a summary or such. i'm not a copyright expert, but i don't think you can write a book on apache, and then quote what another author wrote in their apache book. "according to mr. apacheExpert in his book, Apache Administrators, "only under extreme, extreme circumstances should you consider installing the mod_php"". instead you say, "many apache experts agree that mod_php should only be installed under the most extreme circumstances". (that was just an example, i'm not militant against mod_php at all). IMO, in music it's much easier to identify a ripped tune, than in a written page.
well, in one instance, i copy music (download) from someone else and use it without paying the copyright holder.
in the other instance, an artist copies a music sample into his song to EARN A PROFIT, without paying the copyright holder.
sure i see the difference now. in one area i abstractly deny the original copyright holder potential income because i copied the work, and in the other another musician is making a fortune off the works of others.
actually, i thought it was 14 years + one 14 year extension. at least that's what oriley is doing with most of their books, putting them into public domain after either 14 or 28 years (depending on author's wishes).
you're right, we'll never see any thing from this or last century enter into the public domain during our lifetime.
just because mr gates has recently begun to use the term "trustworthy computing" to describe how they intend to build software systems is irrelevant to the OP. a software vendor that is aware of a security hold that can be exploited to harm the consumer MUST resolve that problem, and IMHO should issue a product recall the same as the manufacturer of a child safety seat, or a automobile, or any other goods and services provider. if you build something that's hazardous to the consumer under normal usage, you're reponsible to fix it (talk to firestone/ford).
so weather or not it will be termed trusty worthy computing or not, these issues MUST be fixed. for some reason, software vendors think they can put a simple "we're not responsible for anything" message in their license and absolve themselves from any damages caused by normal usage of their product. this is plain wrong.
at least they're doing something and they're doing it with / around their mail servers and not through some legislative BS that them there lawYers are trying to get a little face time with.
will it work? who knows, it might really help. if not perhaps they'll learn from the mistakes. someone has to improve smtp into a sstp (simple secure...)
um the OP wasn't comparing DRM to the automobile invention itself, but comparing the usage of drm to the usage of the automobile. sure the auto invention was HUGE. aside from that. try not having/using an auto. the OP was saying that not using DRM will be a crutch like not having an auto.
They're a whole world out there - check it out.
a non english speaking, MS software using, dollar trading world? must be tucked away in that there southern hemisphere i've heard so much about.
and using win2k in 2015 will not be an option either. it'll be like trying to use win95 today on a p90 machine. some shops might use it for book keeping (solitare), but desktop computers find a way of self evolving themselves.
not really, until the prices are all equal. i'm guessing a cd doesn't retail for 15$ USD in all countries, and this.99$ per song is really too close to the CDA rate. sure you don't want all the songs, but lots of their sales were from whole albums. strange. so, considering worldwide economies, the price goes to.25$. a quarter for a song, or four for a buck. that's going to be the sticking rate where they'll basically rake in tons of cash. oh yeah, and the users will have to be able to choose their format, WMA, ogg, mp3, etc. this is about technology, not copyright anymore. and in technology things get smaller, faster and cheaper.
i do that often, but once i forgot to put the phone back on the hook when i was expecting a call. i actually put the caller on speaker and just walked off. it was hilarious to hear them saying over and over for a couple minutes "hello.... hello...."
yes, it's tax deductable. to what extent i don't know. can i give 100% of my money to god and then not pay taxes?
these things (roads, schools, libraries) were around long before the massive raping all the governmental bodies are doing to the citizens. most of all taxes should be at the local level to pay those things. the federal government is spending HUGE amounts of money where it does not belong (farming subsidies just to name one).
yeah, i kinda contradicct my self, but the point was that in order to simply implement a taxation, we would need to modify all client/server software to make it viable. the problem being solved by taxation was to eliminate spam. that could be eliminated by fixing the problem in smtp (yes that might require client/server software upgrades too, but could more easily be backward compatible.
um, bulkmailers get discount rate because it doesn't take as much to process the mail. they have to conform to rigid postal standards to be eligible for bulk mail. (size, addressing, etc). they're all presorted and that for the post office.
no difference than getting a bulk rate on any other product.
yeah, we're in a whole world of crap where the government takes more 15/25/30% right off the top. that's more money than god gets. why does this country need more of my money than god?
so not only do we need to modify all existing email server programs to accomidate for this SMTP modification for to give money to the US government, but all email clients will also need to be modified?
spam is not a "social" issue that needs resolved by governemental intervention. it is a technological issue where people have found a way to exploit a widely used technology for their benefit. it's the technology that has the problem and needs to be fixed. governments and taxes and laws have no business in this problem space.
no, i want one that's wi-fi. and can be "found" from a control box like my cordless telephone. i just press a button on the main box and the phone starts beeping. i need a keychain that does that and tv remotes that do that too. i'm (we're) always loosing that stuff.
if only they can make a freaking tv remote control that can locate itself. i don't wanna know how much time i've wasted searching around for the damn remote after the wif^^^^^^someone has misplaced it. i just might have to get me one of those keychains too!
most major commercial developers don't seem to worry too much about obfuscation. i haven't wasted my time, but i've heard that weblogic.jar can be easily re-sourced.
it's... really... hard... to... avoid... commenting... on....NET... must... get away...
debian isn't free as in beer either. someone's got to pay the debian bandwidth usages. there's nothing that says they can't charge for their distro, if you want to try it, borrow a cd from some one who's got it. i'm sure eventually there will be iso's available somewhere
Obfuscated the code? What in the name of flying baby shit does that mean?
well, it's where you take someone's code and change the variable names and format and whatever else you can so that it doesn't look like the original code and it's really hard to even tell it's the original code. but in reality, the alrogithm is the same, and the final person didn't code it, they merely obfuscated someone elses code.
java has this "feature" where you can very easily reverse engineer you.class files to get the.java files (from pseudy binary back to source). as a result, there have sprung up code obfucsation tools where if i'm a library provider, i can run my library through an obfuscation process. this makes it so that if anyone converts my class files back to java files, they won't be able to read it worth a shit. the obfuscation algorithm is kept propriatarty, the.java to.class compilation process and reversal process is public knowledge (part of the java specification IIRC).
you're sirius seems to require a browser Windows Media Player plug in to function properly. that's not really considered free streaming in these here parts. i'll stick with my shoutcast streams, thanks!.
and of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the grokster interview or their "victory" in court. there, offtopic, redundant, and slightly informative.

Although there are plans to roll it out in Iraq early next month.
isn't that when it's planned to be added as the 51st state in the union?
why do we say there's 50 states in the union when so many don't consider themselves states at all?
