Yep, as far as international goes, you want to create websites in languages that draw you the most business, so http://www.playonline.com/ comes to mind, pick a set language to view the site, those are all different websites, but http://www.aahrpp.org/ uses google translate. It's a matter of resources and budget, as well as need. If you don't have any Chinese customers, you'd be throwing money in a hole by making a Chinese site. Embedding google translate hasn't hurt anybody though, outside of the 1 sec load time:)
Also, it can be a pain in the ass to get the laptop working the way it was when you change OS, all manufacturers have laptop specific software that may or may not run on different versions of windows correctly. I wouldn't worry about drivers just quite yet, give it a year.
Quite the assumption on alien life forms using radio waves, but I guess as a civilization we gotta start somewhere with the search. Or, we can follow the sci-fi model and colonize worlds UNTIL we find alien life. The latter makes more sense in a lot of ways. I'm going to go think of a profit model for colonization now.
Only one way to tell if you're password is truly secure, some techniques may be less obvious than others, but I like this one cause it shoves them in your face:
Of course, you can also always grab a copy of ophcrack (windows users... most of you) : ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ and test it out for yourself, just remember it's YOUR hardware that's testing the password, not a botnet.
Unless you mysteriously don't give it to them. So... just because it's the internet, does that mean common sense goes out the door... for everybody? Mind buying me a boat while we're on the internet? There can't possibly be any real world repercussions!
Not specific to your post, but a slight rant based on all posts:
Facebook doesn't click the like button for you, nor does it ask you to talk about your ED in post, so that it can try to sell you viagra. That's all people's doings, facebook is just the harvester of people's stupidity and over-sharing. And ya, they do have a nasty habit of turning stuff on and implementing new features with privacy concerns... but again they can't share what you don't give them.
Also, I'm slightly confused as to what exactly people's problems with facebook logging their information is, what exactly has facebook done with this information? Did you know google has served you targeted ads before facebook came into existence?
I think this entire discussion is being led on by people who have never used facebook because they don't have a reason to if you know what i mean. I'm gonna go like slashdot on facebook, maybe it might serve me an ad to a site where people actually comprehend privacy and security and the nature of the internet.
The funny thing is it doesn't document anything you don't let it. One can argue that the privacy settings should be adjusted by default to protect you... but you're getting a free account on a social network, what do you expect, a parade in your honor & some $?
Law enforcement computers, politician's computers, government computers, homeland security computers. My bet is within a week 50% of those folks wouldn't have jobs, and 75% in a month.
just like a consultant, use their answers to highlight your experience and explain the approach you’d take." You could also try explaining how you've solved similar problems, which won't necessarily help them, but will demonstrate your value.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I do have a story to share though: I was interviewing for a non-profit housing assistance program, and the interview was set at 2 hours... 1st, I'm never doing a 2 hour interview again, if they ask, and there's no technical test involved, they can go shove it. Anyways, the entirety of the people I interviewed with were well over 50, one talked about "server side" javascript... ??? ??? ??? But anyways, these folks didn't have a fuckin clue as to what's where and where's what and the wound up stating a lot of their problems (re-iterated cause I interviewed with 4 people 1 at a time) and asked me how I'd solve them... I wound up giving them the high level abstract solution of course, but I couldn't help feeling like these folks had no direction and needed direction as much as actual work.
Hmmm... I meant electrical power, that's a fundamental cost at a datacenter:)
The one thing I have to say to your post though is: remember corporations are made of people, so are countries, and unrelated to the previous statements: chaotic economies tend to be driven by consumer fear (still people). If you want somebody to blame for society's problems, make your way to the nearest mirror and take a look inside.
All motherboard manufacturers provide a way to update bios from within bios, even from within windows if you can install / download the updater and trust it. With more recent boards, it's even impossible to brick them. So where does FreeDOS factor into all this? Do note that running apps at boot using FreeDOS and using FreeDOS as an OS are very different things. For example: Ghost boots in DOS, but you're not using DOS, you're using ghost.
I won't bother going into detail on why you should update your systems, but do let me know which bank it is so I can ensure I stay as far away as possible from these "owners" who have the foresight of mole.
You touch on a lot of good stuff that can come out of this, but first... ISPs are pretty much datacenters, datacenters handle bandwidth... on a large enough scale bandwidth = power. So they save money by throttling users by saving bandwidth... on a very large scale. They even tried to throttle netflix, but the DOJ told them where to shove it.
They provide the service, not the experience. This whole situation in fact is a huge blow against net neutrality... but it had to happen, here's why:
P2P has become so main stream, we've started losing content... less good movies, less good music, the computer game industry is hurting bad, and those are just the tip of that iceberg. P2P was great back when it came out cause very few people used it namely the geeks and the nerds. It's when Joe from warehousing heard about it and started using, and Janice from HR decided to download the latest boy band leaked album that things started getting out of control. Security through obscurity... gone, quality new content... gone, law enforcement gets involved... yep. A new technology is definitely in the need.
Another part of me asks though... why did all this start? Over the $20 cd w 1 good song and $20 movie with a 30 second FBI warning. Netflix, itunes, amazon, & even spotify and pandora have stepped in to provide the bridge. Why should I download a movie now, when I can go to netflix and get it for $1. $5 for 5 movies is so much better than $100 and then they become glorified dust catchers. I hate to say it, but getting fined $700 doesn't help me lean towards p2p either. Maybe the cause is won and we don't need it anymore, but then again the RIAA & MPAA are still as lame and ruthless as ever. In conclusion, the artists need business degrees, problem solved.
And still people vote to help them because their lobbyists cry wolf tears about how the artists aren't getting paid (they still won't) & how you wouldn't steal a car. But still consider this if it's any solace... all it would take to put out of business all the major ISPs is new technology, fiber could put comcast out of business where I live for example.
lol Verizon. I believe they pioneered anti-piracy tracking back on their 3g network and lost a class action for it. Never did it feel sweeter to get $50 in the mail than when they termed my service the year before for p2p and then lost a class action on the grounds that their technology wasn't good enough to accurately flag pirates. Round 2 anyone?
Tell that to all the people that are employed because they self-taught themselves something using the internet. And yes you can go to the public library, plenty of people do, but the public library isn't always open & one isn't always available depending where you live. And based on your statements, people can get by "just fine" without education, it has nothing to do whatsoever with food, air, & water, but it's definitely a nice to have in that sense, so is the internet.
Exactly, again, why is the money going to the industry and not the artists? Some things never change... it would be nice to see artists become a bit more business savvy, certainly wouldn't hurt them. And, if you don't want to perform, but rather profit hugely and forever off a one-time recording... even if it took you days to create, diminished profit margins seem fair.

People buy laptops from Wal-Mart? Does it really matter at that point what's on it?
Screw that, if they start locking the bootloader, I'll buy an Ubuntu laptop first, and install WINE, or possibly windows 7 :)
Also, it can be a pain in the ass to get the laptop working the way it was when you change OS, all manufacturers have laptop specific software that may or may not run on different versions of windows correctly. I wouldn't worry about drivers just quite yet, give it a year.

You can also theorize how long it would take to crack your password here:

RTFA, the profits ARE STILL going through the industry trickling down to the artist.
