However, there is one area of use by big corps that can afford this toy. That is snooping on their competition. Most IDS
systems don't come with the kind of configuration that can handle fingerprinting this toy's kind of traffic. You have to script it
in or find a vendor(with really good consulting staff) that knows their stuff. This toy gives folks with deep pockets a
substantial advantage over someone who won't or can't buy it or the protection they need.
Why let somebody else have all of the fun (and profits)? Create a small division and don't associate it with the rest of your company specifically designed to "break" this unbreakable scheme.
magine if states started blocking truckers coming from certain states
But they do! The United States does not accept any imports from Cuba because of political differences. You can argue that there are consequences to that (non-)relationship, but don't think that it doesn't happen in the real world.
from watching the video, it definetly looks like the right handed side of the keyboard will slide
around much too easily for any form of speed typing.
The inventor has solved this problem by making it so that the right handed side of the keyboard acts like a mouse only when a contact switch is pressed. (Check out this Overview sketch.)
I think history would show that the New York Times would not take kindly too it. After all, back in the day they made Infocom stop publishing (in hardcopy) The New Zork Times.
Sorry, that's 234 characters. You only get 120... Why not just copyright all of your posts? Like the copyrighted laws discussed a few days ago. Then you can limit who is able to reproduce them and who can (and cannot) bring them into court.
Serious question: Can UV light help fight a virus that's already inside the human body? Would going to the beach and catching some rays help me fight off my cold virus?
Antibiotics usually aren't effective against viruses. Innoculation as the result of vaccination can protect one against them, but not antibiotics. (The over prescription of antibiotics against viruses is part of the cause of drug resistant bacteria and viruses, according to this story on NPR, about 2/3 of the way down, "Antibiotics use")
Not everybody has the luxuries of both Internet access and free time to worry about such things. We're only able to think about them because our basic needs are already met. If you had to worry about paying the electric bill because you didn't know where your next paycheck was coming from and you had to take your son to the doctor (sans health insurance), would you worry about what a bunch of suits in Washington thought about things on paper that you couldn't see?
Data center no, but power plant next door, yes. You're going to need to drill for natural gas, collect it, transport it to the power plant, and then burn it. Unless you'd like to employ about 4 jillion caribou to do this, you're going to have an environmental impact.
Using satellites that far north would be difficult. You'd have trouble seeing geostationary satellites; they'll be awfully low on the horizon, if they're even visible at all. Dealing with multiple satellites just adds more and more complication to the system. Running multiple fiber lines would probably just be simpler.
If you illegally access a "protected" computer without authorization or in excess of authorized access, you are violating 18 USC 1030. (Protected computers include those belonging to the government, involved in interstate commerce, and a few other special cases.) So yes, breaking into a computer system where you do not have an account or getting privledges above those you are authorized on a system is a crime.
Being curious is good, but being curious can often lead to crossing the line between right/wrong and legal/illegal. It is perfectly natural, IMHO, for a child to go too far (in this case, violating 18 USC 1030) while being curious. It is the responsibility of authority (parents, law, school, whomever) to show that child that they have gone too far, and hopefully to redirect their energies into more appropriate areas.
I suspect that the school officials were trying to "scare the kid straight" and something went wrong. Giving the kid some time off from school was probably a much more appropriate action than taking him to court (which they could have done).
Obviously, something went very wrong here, but I don't think you can simply blame the school for trying to stifle the kid's curiosity.
Drat! You beat me to this joke. But seriously, with a revamped web site coming out, a movie in the works, when better to take a year off for taxes reasons? I mean, it would certainly be the right time...
But don't forget that these people will devalue your degree. The guy who hires the flunkie friends learns firsthand that people from X university aren't worth hiring. Suddenly, you become worth less becasue he's not going to hire anybody else who graduated from X...
I know Earthstar I isn't the Phoenix, but doesn't this sound like the plot of Star Trek: First Contact? Amateur guy builds a rocket part. I mean, I assume he's not telling anybody about the warp drive part.
What about eGodDamned. Now the heavenly father can make your life miserable with just a click of a mouse!(Although I'd advise against stealing his credit card number...)
Can that process be automated? Forward a piece of mail to a program that strips out the domain and timestamps and sends a polite, automated message to abuse@domain for you? (That whole work smarter thing...)
Pardon me if that's incorrect, but I hope it still carries the basic message. All new technologies require some sort of commercial investment if they're going to be made available and (apparently) free to the masses.

Well, if you can copyright the law, why can't you copyright the evidence?

Or they could put the recording on Napster and wait until the RIAA tries to sue them.
Unless you could patent a way to get that much bandwidth from them to you....

Can we simulate a network with Mars? RFC 1149? Cool!

But not uncommon, since most people call the GNU/Linux operating system, which has a Linux kernel, simply the Linux operating system.
