Even simpler. Make a long bumper sticker that runs the entire length of the bumper right up to both sides of the plate. Fill it with random text and numbers the same size as the text using a carbon base ink on the sticker. Cover it with black window tint film. You now have a nice black bumper. The auto IR camera sees an extreme plate as it makes the window film transparant.
That is 5.56 Ghz demonstrated at the IDF. It ran and broke 3 CPU speed records in under 2 minutes. This is extreme! Don't ask how much power the cascaded refrigeration system uses.;-)
"Worth then proceeded to show off the fruit of his labours by claiming he could break three world benchmark records in just two minutes. This included SuperPi 1M, where he beat Team Japan's previous record, and he then went on to run AquaMark where his score of 273,000 trashed the previous record of 267,000. Finally, he then ran the 32-bit version of CineBench 10, where a score just shy of 20,000 (he didn't reveal the actual score, unfortunately) again clinched a world record for a quad-core CPU."
If they learned something, they wouldn't push DRM so viciously.
Got that right. It's the number 2 reason I haven't bought any music online. Value is number 1. Too much money for too little quality, content and usability. DRM/Copy protected CD tracks are incompatible with my car stereo, living room DVD player, portable DVD/MP3 player and Winamp, PowerPoint, Lights-O-Rama, DigitalPhotoFrame,.... I buy DVD's instead. CSS is broken enough DVD's can be put on both the kids Zen and iPod without buying the media twice, once in each format.
There have been plenty of cases of the RIAA sending letters to people who've never violated their copyrights.
And after they found I have a P-P program installed "Bittorrent" and the files downloaded is Ubuntu and such. I also use filtered DNS which happens to block The Pirate Bay and other locations. (Link from Slashdot to an article hosted there showed up as blocked) I have BitTorrent because it is as much of Ubuntu as Windows Update is part of Windows. I attempted to un-install it once, but there was a warning that removing it would break updates. To top it off, Comcast (my ISP) has been blocking BitTorrent seeding. No other P-P filesharing program is installed to my knowledge. With these factors in place, I'm not very likely to receive a settlement letter.
I have filtered DNS because I have adopted teens at home who would have no qualms exposing me to a lawsuit. They have managed to fill up their MP3 players on a meager allowance and visiting friends. They do not have admin rights to change the hosts file or network settings on the computers or router.
people who've never violated their copyrights. Many of them have kids and kids friends who have root privilages to the computers where they install P-P clients.
After they find that no P-P seeding exists, I will pick them for attorney's fees and join the class action.
White and affluent minorities have access to the best legal care that money can buy, for both civil and criminal matters.
Affluent have less reasons to engauge in activities in high vice areas. As such, much of the "legal care" needed is a non-issue. I'm in my 50's and the only time I have used a lawyer is for the adoption of a couple kids. We adopted pre-teens from "the other side of the tracks" and as a result, we are currently employing a lawyer for some of their actions.
Some neighborhoods and families have differing standards of right and wrong. The actions of those with differing standards often are the reason some are picked up for problems and others are not.
I grew up in the country. I worked doing everything from mowing hay, harvesting crops, raising sheep, and such. When growing up, I don't remember ever seeing a police car on our street. I saw a couple in town a couple times, but the police was not part of my growing up years.
You shouldn't be able to be caught if you don't want to be, it's all a matter of your risk tolerance.
My risk tolerance is quite low. I've never lost the lottery, or received a settlement letter. Both for the same reason. I didn't play.
The RIAA has played. I find less new music. I find more and more CD's infected. I find more incompatible file formats, most with defective by design DRM. They blame the lost sales on Piracy. They are wrong. The legal product is broken and overpriced.
Instead of fixing their product and fixing the price (not price fixing), they have been caught red handed in a sabatoge effort.
i had the A++ from the first month on either way, won her challenge and got banned from computer use for a few months, assumption being nobody else could have.
I was dinking with one of the Radio Shack PC's when they first came out (DOS, BASIC) and they were proud of the blackjack game they wrote. I was playing it with the expected results. They made a passing remark to pay my losses on the way out. I soon discovered that they didn't put limits on the bet input field. I went bust on a few negative amounts and was soon out of the hole. I busted a few more very large negative bets and told them I was ready to settle my account.
I left them guessing how I won a few billion. They never did pay up.
It should make Microsoft very happy as Russia is a hotbed of pirated copies of Microsoft products. It is nice to see Russia taking a proactive step to combat international piracy.
So exactly how does one make a copy of a movie to their hard drive without circumventing De-CSS?
It is simple. Rip a track instead of copy the CD/DVD. Since you don't have the file structure and a bit for bit copy, you simply have a low quality facsimile. Last time I checked a low quality monochrome fax of a reduced size dollar bill (one sided) was not considered a counterfeit of the original. I would think this would apply to compressed reduced size rips for your iPod or Zen Video.
There is the possibility that an over ambitious law enforcement may try to get your low quality incomplete rip of the original to be classified as a counterfeit copy.
Great point that I missed. Digging down two more pages brought up this tidbit.
"If your original iPod was custom laser engraved by another company, your replacement iPod will not be personalized. "
If I paid extra to put a custom laser engraved logo on the case, I would be ticked. On the other hand if mine had lots of scratches and dings, getting a fresh case is a bonus. A new hard drive without the wear and tear would also be nice if the new drive came with a new warranty.
They are trying by themselves to build unrealistic expectations which they can then knock down to prove the failure of OSS and Linux. That's called a straw-man argument.
It isn't working. Try avoiding OSS software. Some of it is GNU, some of it is BSD. Speaking of BSD, know of any commercial software using any internet connections using the BSD TCP/IP stack? Avoiding OSS is like trying to avoid the internet and most networking standards.
Jut try to avoid TCP/IP in any IT camp. The BSD license is very hard to avoid. 80% is way too low a number. I know of a few cars, microwave ovens and other appliances without it.
The Coop claims the ISBN identification numbers in books are their intellectual property. Crimson Reading disagrees.
Request they list the ISBN with the list of books required so you can order the correct text. If they ask why, tell them you understand supply and demand, MSRP, and discounts. You prefer to shop for bargains.
ATT you want to see what will make me pay $50 a month for my Internet from the cable company? Start filtering and I'll drop your crappy $20 DSL that day.
Over the past weeks more and more Comcast users started to notice that their BitTorrent transfers were cut off. Most users report a significant decrease in download speeds, and even worse, they are unable to seed their downloads. A nightmare for people who want to keep up a positive ratio at private trackers and for the speed of BitTorrent transfers in general.
So basically we're essentially back to the same Palladium shit that we ranted and raved against as the great Satan.
Not quite, but close.
The only thing different is who maintains the White list?
I may be fine finding libdecss and AcidRip are OK to run and add them to the white list. On the Palladium machine with a secure media path, running AcidRip would not be ok with the whitelist maintainer.

If you were one of the high filesharers, let us know if you settled or how the fight went.
If you are in school after that, I would recommend sticking to USB drives for a while.

I see lots of new Linux viruses and exploits coming out shortly.
Missed and lots of social engineering to get clueless users to install and execute the code.
At the risk of sounding trollish, but people have been getting Windows at no additional cost for a long time
Correction, people have been getting Windows at the risk of a BSA audit.

It wasn't the purchase price that disrupted the Windows market. It was the disruption by the BSA.

Does 80% of companies using open source necessarily mean less profits. In my experience it means more time/cost efficient projects.
Not in the least. Microsoft has done very well..
MS and open source you ask?
Check the license for TCP/IP. For a long time they used just netbui for workgroups, but it didn't scale to the internet.
They like the BSD license. It's the GNU license they have an issue with.

I really should buy stock in IKEA....
I doubt Steve and the heads of the MPAA and RIAA shop at a mass market store like IKEA.
You might look at places that have furniture like this;

If money was no object, which chair in the pictures would you rather sit on?
Cue the Media Copying Discussions.
