    However there is one thing about Joe Consumer that most people can't understand. He is real scared of the "hackers" on the internet stealing CC# info and making purtchesses of all sorts of things.

    Nothing like a good business tack to get the juices flowing. My question is why everything has to be reduced to petty business interests. I say have everyone just have little recorders attatched to their lapels and send a group of oh? about 10-15 pre-arranged people into concerts to be at various locations. Then have all the data that the recorders use be uploaded into high capacity lines in a foreign country. Then take all the data that is similar to each other and merge it into a spanking new sound and release it. 100% clear. and works 100% of the time.

    And here's the kicker there's not one thing anyone could do about it. No one can track several hundred people from across the USA or any other country at all.

  12. Re:90% of customers would choose piracy on SDMI as Dead As DivX · · Score: 1

    Good point about the whole affair. Additionally it is the same way with books except people may not have thought about it.

    I had an idea one time (never tried it due to lack of proper equipment) to take a book (popular Nytimes Bestseller) rip it apart into individual pages, scan those pages in (covers too) as .pdf or .ps then put it on the net in some place like nigeria where no one can get you for such things and poof! Instant Book that can be sold, reselled, and seen easily, or even printed out. Slightly illegal however since I never did it it makes no difference.

    Also I would like to ask two questions.

    1. Is there some sort of tool that allows music to be converted to pulses or notes on various frequencies on a pc speaker. Like row, row, row your boat. I am aware of the pc speaker patch for linux however it is really crappy compared to simply representing the music as notes.

    2.Do I just change the subject to start a new thread? (I think so but am not sure)
    And what about posting as the first comment of a story is there a way just to post without replying?

    Basically most people involved in unions are doing so because the individuals are doing something that is so dangerous or just has a bad track reccord of being a realm that the rich had great control over in the past (coal mineing (or and mineing in general), automobile industry, etc).

    For a very simple reason no one really could GET the info to even understand such a thing. My father is a person who really dosn't know much about computers I believe this is in part to his experience with some sort of complex computing system in the mid 70's for a degree in Library Science most of the systems back then really were not made for anyone beyond the elite. Now to say that geeks should have unions is probably a good thing however people should look at how effective this would be.

    Since there are large ammounts of "geeks" getting out of college and they all want jobs what will happen to those that attempt to strike? Can you say replacement?

    Well speaking as an American I can say that our country is not all Puritans. I fully anticipate that eventually when most of the people who were areound during WWII are gone that will open up most of the bottlenecks in the process. Have you ever heard the oft quoted statement that "the children are our future"? Well they are and the children are not really inclined to just wallow in antique religious dogma.
    Another thing what about operating a service something like a porn request system where a person in .au just request a file from a particular site via regular e-mail on some server or better yet have a system which would have several fail over points eg a site in the us may be banned but just reroute the connection through something in chilie, the to jap[an then to cambodia, then arrive in the us.
    Work quite nicely or maybe stenography just encrypt some lusty image into a file say a picture of a clown and nobody is the wiser :).
    I think there are so many wonderful ways of doing things in this world why make things easy for anyone? If the govt wants to play hardball have them play hardball. It is a well known that many popular revolutions such as Russia in 1917, China in the 1930-1940's, the French in the 1790's etc. The people at large will always do what they can.
