Sure, Yahoo might sell music for $X dollars, but that shouldn't matter. I can grab a CD for $15, but if the RIAA sued me, I would have to pay a lot more than $15. The reason being, is that I could have distributed that content to 20,000 people, which means that the RIAA *potentially* lost out on 20,000 x $X. So what if Yahoo sells music for 5 bucks.
I think the terrorists have it right. The USA spends hundreds of millions of dollars developing all of these advanced technologies, and then a terrorist walks by with a shoulder-mounted rpg or car bomb and blows it up. $100 million down the tube for America, $75k for the terrorists. Seriously, for being so "superior," your military sucks largesize. If your so superior, why can you not detect bombs on the side of the road, why do your troops get their asses kicked all the time. Stop the fucking arms races and fighting. Your not superior, you just waste a lot of money, piss off a lot of people, and ruin lives. I consider the USA a terrorist nation. Not the general populace, but atleast half of you.
</rant>
Note: I'm normally a pretty passive guy, but the US gov't really pisses me off in a big way. I can honestly say that I HATE the USA government and most of what it stands for. I know in 10 yrs I will be nervious living just north of the border from you guys.
More and more, I feel like I don't belong in this world. Is the USA really this fucked in the head? Why are all the ultra-paranoid bully-type people running the country? You are talking a max of $1 trillion (which will probably be $2 trillion when finished) for more weapons. I wish there were lobbyists/people in power that pushed as hard for equal rights, and supplying the necessities of life, as there are for becoming "superior" in every other way. It's like the country is run by a bunch of kids that got beat up a lot when they were younger. They are out to prove that they are the strongest, most powerful people around. If the USA just used all of their money and power to help rebuild nations, peacekeep, provide great education, basically be a big brother to less fortunate nations (withOUT trying to "liberate" them the way they do now), then the world view of the USA would change substantially. Why would terrorists attack your nation if you are helping out their families. Sure, every country can spend a fuck-lot of wasted money on military games, or they can grow up and start spending it on helping the world out. You have soo much power and soo much ability to make world changes, and the USA consistantly makes poor choices. They cause death and destruction everywhere they go. They have military camps all over the world. For what purpose? To help people out? No, to push the American Way on the rest of the world. I guess it's just "... the American way of fighting."
Remote haptic interaction could allow people who are allergic to dogs and cats to caress their pets remotely.
Maybe it's just me, but why would somone who is allergic to cats or dogs even HAVE a cat or dog. Also, if they did, would they pay to have it "stored" in a remote location strapped in a funny suit so they could pet it whenever they felt the urge? Or will this spawn a new Pet Storage Facility where someone will purchase 100 dogs of various breeds and rent out time for eager "petters?"
Check out Proxim AP-700 It support 802.11abg, 802.11i AES, etc. Proxim also has has other AP's that support 802.11i. I think the D-Link 7200AP also suport 802.11i, but I may be wrong. Oh yeah, and you can get 'em "right now."
I hope your actually using it how it is meant to be used. I see a lot of people getting 20X extract and smoking bowls at parties, etc. They are "high" for about 5 minutes, but can barely talk (I mean,you lose all sense of your body..), or function. Everyone is lost in their own little world. This is *not* how the plant is to be used.
I'm assuming you have a shower in the morning, as opposed to when you go to bed at night?
In the shower, I am the same way - much more creative and focused. I believe that it is because I haven't been bombarded with stimulation just yet (hah, I know what your thinking). You see, throughout the day, you get ALL kinds of mental stimulation that runs through your mind whether you are aware of it or not. In the morning after a decent sleep, your mind is somewhat of a blank slate. Your conscious mind is awakening, but you are still in touch with your subconsious somewhat. Your mind isn't all over the place at this time, so whatever you bring into your consciousness, your mind has more "power" to deal with it. Its "power" isn't split up amongst many different tasks/opinions/situations. It is simply ready to tackle whatever you throw at it.
This probably has something to do with the fact that most of us humans sleep lying down. When you lay down, your body/mind naturally starts to relax. After a few moments your "monkey-mind" can settle and leave room for more creative expression/problem solving. As long as you aren't tired when you do this sort of test (so you don't risk drifting off to sleep), you should have a much more clear/focused mind in less than 5 minutes. I know that I cherish the 20-30 minutes that I am in bed before I go to sleep. I can think much more clearly and visualization is heightened substantially. In the morning, I have the same experience. Whenever I lay down I find I can concentrate and focus a lot better than when I am sitting up, but again, I think that is because I have laying down associated with rest/relaxation. It's all about tuning out the situations of the day and focusing on a specific task.
Yeah she's basically saying "Look, we at the RIAA decided to mandate proprietary DRM. A lot of companies chose to implement DRM in different ways. Now I can't get my iPod to play OTHER companies PROPRIETARY DRM!!!" Now I can only rip my own cd's and use iTunes for my music." No shit, if you didn't use DRM (Thanks to YOU, you dumb bitch - heh), then ALL the stores would be selling MP3's (or.OGG if they were k-r4d), and they would ALL play on your iPod. Why doesn't she gripe about all those $30 players that just play MP3's and can't play the DRM'd tunes at all. At least you get one extra source of music with an iPod.
The person could find errors in the code which could lead to DoS attacks, or perhaps unauthorized access via a buffer overflow, etc. Probably not a virus. Another possibility could include this hacker modifying the source and recompiling the code into a new/existing firmware. If he has access to a Cisco webserver, he could upload this firmware and have half the planet installing modified code. Perhaps he could insert a backdoor, or hell, just make unstable code to make Cisco look bad - routers could start failing all over the place. There are a LOT of (evil) things that a Cisco router could do with bad code.
Ofcourse the kid probably isn't going to do any of this, but it is *possible*
It is more likely that this kid would sell the technology to a competitor of Cisco, but he probably just hacked it because it was fun.
...Stakkato had erased her computer file directory
This is why you need MORE THAN ONE "Computer File Directory." If she was smart, she would have had a false "Computer File Directory" with fake "computer files" (could they be files that weren't for a computer?), and a secret hidden SECOND Directory for all her important "computer files." That would fool that sneaky hax0r. He would probably never suspect a second "Computer File Directory."
Damn pride, my old email address for my original Slashdot ID is no longer active, so I cannot get my password for the account! I don't know how many digits it is, but it is relatively low. Now I have to deal with this shoddy 6 digit UID. I also have a relatively low ICQ#, 127XXXX, which I havent used in years. I completely forgot that ICQ existed until your post.
Yeah, or it's the opposite. Your thinking and willing is what causes electrochemical reactions in the brain. You know, as the brain reacts to what you are thinking/feeling. You don't think the mind is encased in that grey matter do you? You should be able to understand this based on your last sentence. Based on a series of given inputs, my brain can/may/will act completely different from yours. Does this mean that our wiring is completely different, or does will come into play? Perhaps it is my reaction, based on my mind as opposed to my brain, that causes the brain to act in a different way. Anyway, I always find it humourous when science steps in and says that "hey, we have some electochemical reactions going on, that must be what is controlling the body." Well what is causing those reactions to take place? Are you controlled by someone else, are you just a puppet? Are you just here to be controlled by a hard-wired apparatus that you can do nothing about? No, not at all. You can see this plain as day.
Well I did a search for "Tiger" on Google, and the Tiger Information Center comes up first, then Tiger Direct, then another tiger sanctuary, AND THEN Apple. So, my point here is that Tiger Direct should sue various Tiger Sanctuaries instead of Apple.

Check out Daniel Siebert. I believe he is one of the leading researchers in the field. He has a lot of information as well as top quality Salvia.
I hope your actually using it how it is meant to be used.

I think these scientists have been hitting a little too much of the wacky tobbaky.

That's Mrs. Spears!
Yeah she's basically saying "Look, we at the RIAA decided to mandate proprietary DRM. A lot of companies chose to implement DRM in different ways.

Was it a winch that magically worked in sand? A Sand winch? Sandwinch... sandwich... mmm lunchtime.
No doubt, and the product isn't even called "Tiger," it's called "Mac OS X Tiger."

There has been a similar laptop from Gateway , which has been shipping for at least 1.5 yrs.
