This is the same govt. that employs a police force tasked with ensuring that chinese citizens don't visit or use the internet for nefarious reasons.
Obviously it has something to do with the govt. sanctioning these attacks and intrusions! Otherwise the chinese govt. would be arresting individuals constantly for exploiting US governmental resources
Why do we accept these things, sure we bitch, write letters etc. But why doesn't anyone walk up to him in a bar and BitchSlap him? Viglante justice need not just be for crimes... it needs to be for idiocy as well. Perhpas after he TM mame he can then live in a gated community. Do people figure that with enough income it need not matter if they are well liked?
I say let him try to do what he wants, but who says we have to conform? Time and time again we allow asshats to go through and do stupid things. But if we didn't allow them to it wouldn't happen. So if anybody sees Mr. David R. Foley (no relation to the kids in the hall)... spit in his face or something similar... heckle his children, park your car out side his house and blast your horn. Make him realize he's not very well liked. Great he builds a cabinet and now wants to make more money than god from it... Ugh... I hate these fools... as we tread closer and closer to an orwellian society we need to take back our personal freedoms... copywright, trademark be damned. Hell IBM could try and sue me for using the name IBM but get real.. is anyone going to mistake joe barstool for IBM ?
Bah... Now I'm going to go beat up a patent holder... Capitalism be damned... Money should be made via productivity , not licensing, suing etc.
Arrrgh I love to rant... thank god for gun control in canada.
Thats a new one to me, mind you I think I've tried to scan a barcode displayed on an lcd, i know I have tried crt's
*shrug* don't think that'll work... nice idea though... but RFID is the way to go with that, cuz then you market not only the rfid tag, but also a reader which is then connected to aback end network of various vendors such as visa etc. (think of interac in canada - bank cards only)... now think of an rfid terminal connected to an interac like network, and then just a rotary disc with 7 or 8 different rfid chips that can be read spin the dial... use the chip... shazaam!... this idea patent pending, copyright soop 2004
Ok, you know what... this is just ridiculous. By no means am I a bigot, racist, anti-abortionist or any other fanatic. But you know what... if someone wants to be a fanatic they can be a fanatic. Who am I to tell someone what they can and can't do. If someone out there wants to write about the non-existence of the holocaust so be it. Someone wrote the bible and lots of people don't agree with that. Damn popular consensus and stupidity. There are way too many whiny bitches on the internet. I'm sorry if you don't like it don't visit it, or ignore it.
This just pisses me off, who's right is it to decide what I can and can't see?
this just harkens back to Ebay banning auctions that it deems "not-nice"
I'm sorry but if I want to buy an SS Dagger off of ebay, why the hell not?
Oh well I'm on a rant for the day so get out of my way.
Well once again we have a repeat of the usual axe intelligent shows, now sure geeks might cry and complain that it was technobabble and that it wasnt plausible yadda yadda, oh but live action tick is? oh well who cares... I just rememebr the year they cancelled sea quest, my so called life and kept super man... you tell me who makes these decisions? Stop polling trailerparks!
Several years ago around 93 I was adminning one of canadas largest online services. The internet was this thing on the horizon we knew we had to deal with. we examined our options and figured hey... we've got to get on this bandwagon before it passes us by... and well that created an ISP called cybertrends www.trends.ca... well that didnt bode well, unfortuantely for us sparc 20's at the time were small fortunes and so were phone lines and bandwidth costs. We had a 256k link with a company called worldlynx (think Bell Canada) and the BBS was still running strong. THis was a pay use BBS with 32 lines and a subscriber base in the thousands. But then came the internet... people had two accounts, we offered them dual accounts an account on one system with access to the other but why pay for access to something thats free on the net right? well yes alot was free then...y ou could find pretty much anything for free on the internet those days. Whether it be porn or pageantry... you could find anything without an add popping up or poeple asking you to pay for it... there was online chat (IRC) but it was a pain in the ass, channels were constantly taken over and it just wasn't alot of fun being on the internet between 14.4 and 28.8 so we figured we'd do one better and opened our lines up reduced our rates and added telnet access to the online service. It worked well for a while. We had a booming membership. We had hoped that opening it up to the internet would give us a larger customer base. But then things began to dwindle... customers that were paying for telnet service from other locations, at the time didnt think they should have to pay there additional prices to access our chat services or our file base and message boards. Hell they had IRC, UseNet and the web. But Now i look around and I see a convuluted mess of online offerings. Everything is advertising, pay per use (at astronomical rates) membership fees. Nothing is private and organized any more. Online communities are a rag tag bunch of people. Look at slashdot... look at the mess its in. try and find a valid comment relating to a post... nope its 12 replies beneath your threshold.
In recent months I've been debating about pulling out my old software and reinstalling it on a system. Lord knows I could run an effective system again. I think people (with the advent of linux) are learning that some times the KISS rule still does apply. Why reinvent the wheel... round is round is round. BBS' were and are great.
Anyways I'm off to go make some screens in THEDRAW have fun... and well we'll see what happens
Well most sites have accomplished htis by distributing the load across various servers. Eg. a web page providing information of a non commercial nature (generally) will sprad its self across several geocities, yahoo free web etc. servers now of course this limits you in space available but files can always be linked to elsewhere... are there any scriptable ftp clients out there? Can I creat a script that will on a regular basis process a director for changes and then post it to 32 different ftp servers on a "bite size basis" limit each server to 4 meg and then just keep rotating along? Not even sur eif that makes any sense but I'll assume that some of you will at least be able to methodically interpret it
Ok, well this is something I've actually been pndering on my own for some time... technically if I remember from my Anti-Virus days a computer virus is technically something that replicates itself on your computer without your knowledge or say... so technically all these sites I visit which pop up umpteen million banner ads or the latest trend open up a hidden browser window that continues to cycle ads on my screen should be considered virii? I wish I could track down the actual computer virus description document.. maybe someone else will post it. But perhaps its something worth looking into.
Ok, so there is all this hullabaloo over Napster shutting down? Why should this even affect anything. I've always been curious over the far reaches of the American judicial system. Like sure they can state what is legal and illegal in the states but what is to stop someone from doing something offshore (ala: the internet gambling casinos etc.) But even aside from that all this focus is on Napster, so Napster dies big deal, they can't stop a movement of this size anymore.. you can equate it with the war on drugs, something that will go nowhere, sure they can bust Noriega or Napster but with that stem the flow? I don't think so. Hell there are still places out there like Audiogalaxy which have been around longer than Napster and also search a much broader base of files. If anything all Napster did was bring mass markey appeal of mp3's to the forfront. No one cared until mp3's became a commodity on Nasdaq.
Oh well my 2 cents and thats probably over pricing it.
Ok Basically womever this is what they have done is they have most likely bought a bunch of htese and are re-selling them. I have seen them forsale in various super asian malls in the toronto area (aka pacific mall) and no I dont mean that to be a bigoted statement... check your local china town or dragon city mall or pacific mall and I'm sure you will find a vendor carrying them as well as many other wonderful goodies.
Ok, well I am an administrator for THE telco in Canada, now I am not union nor am I a contractor, but needless to say I am required to put in a 37.5hr work week, and over the summer I was working from 7am - 3am. and I have had jobs where I have put in 90hr work weeks, and in every single case of extra hours where it has been unpaid, that has been my choice, I have yet to truly encounter a position where I get ragged on for saying umm no sorry can not do it I have a life you know, or just confining my work to my work hours.
I have a friend who constantly insists on working from 8am - 11pm, does he have to do this? admittedly no... does it make him look better... maybe... does it get him further ahead... good question, its all a personal choice, to those of you working 90hr work weeks, do you have to do this? Do you have to be the keener always plugging away at home on a project, do you have to be the one who stays the extra hour or two to look good to his boss?
You work the extra time because you choose to not because you have to... if you are not happy with it say *no* see what happens when you get a spine. Sure you might be able to counter with "oh well if i dont put in the extra time the work won't get done" well if thats the case get paid for it, and if they won't pay you for it then maybe it is because you are not capable of doing the work in the time alotted and maybe you need a career change.
I don't see why you complain about it, fact of that matter is if you are not happy with something change it
