Originally I bought a Slot A motherboard.... Then the chip makers decided to go socket. I could buy a new mother board, but everytime a New chip comes out.... I will have to buy a new mother board. I buy a new motherboard but it's only good up to a certain MHz. So when I buy the new chip. I need a new board again.....
Now we can all say goodbye to the pending DeCss cases and litigation. Now is it possible to counter sue for all the money spent defending ourselves against DeCSS or is that just a lost cause?
The Arizona Highway Patrol were mystified when they came upon a pile of smoldering wreckage embedded in the side of a cliff rising above the road at the apex of a curve. The metal debris resembled the site of an airplane crash, but it turned out to be the vaporized remains of an automobile. The make of the vehicle was unidentifiable at the scene.
The folks in the lab finally figured out what it was, and pieced together the events that led up to its demise.
It seems that a former Air Force sergeant had somehow got hold of a JATO (Jet Assisted Take-Off) unit. JATO units are solid fuel rockets used to give heavy military transport airplanes an extra push for take-off from short airfields.
Dried desert lakebeds are the location of choice for breaking the world ground vehicle speed record. The sergeant took the JATO unit into the Arizona desert and found a long, straight stretch of road. He attached the JATO unit to his car, jumped in, accelerated to a high speed, and fired off the rocket.
The facts, as best as could be determined, are as follows:
The operator was driving a 1967 Chevy Impala. He ignited the JATO unit approximately 3.9 miles from the crash site. This was established by the location of a prominently scorched and melted strip of asphalt. The vehicle quickly reached a speed of between 250 and 300 mph and continued at that speed, under full power, for an additional 20-25 seconds. The soon-to-be pilot experienced G-forces usually reserved for dog-fighting F-14 jocks under full afterburners.
The Chevy remained on the straight highway for approximately 2.6 miles (15-20 seconds) before the driver applied the brakes, completely melting them, blowing the tires, and leaving thick rubber marks on the road surface. The vehicle then became airborne for an additional 1.3 miles, impacted the cliff face at a height of 125 feet, and left a blackened crater 3 feet deep in the rock.
Most of the driver's remains were not recovered; however, small fragments of bone, teeth, and hair were extracted from the crater, and fingernail and bone shards were removed from a piece of debris believed to be a portion of the steering wheel.
Now that's the best use of automobile parts yet.... Think he hit Mach 5?
The videos are definately eye opening... especially the one from Tom's Hardware. I was wondering what the major difference between Slot and Socket chipsets were? The video was all Socket Chips... I personally have a motherboard set up for Slot. I was debating whether or not I should change it. I personally do not know the difference except the difference in apprearance, and the fact that I can not get a Slot Card (AMD) above 900 MHz. Is there a reason for this? Thanks in advance for your worldly computer knowledge folks!
The technology that we sell is a padlock to music. If you have a lock cutter, a bolt cutter, you can cut that padlock off. If you're determined to steal the music, the music can be stolen. Our technology is not thief proof. What it's meant to do is provide a speed bump to people who don't steal things, and wish to use them in the parameters that are suggested by the artists...
Ok, cd protection as a speedbump for people who don't steal? Does that make any sense? I doesn't to me! I mean, if you are only buying cd's and listening to them, then what is the speed bump for? Those people are not ripping and sharing the cds... And their so-called-protection is to prevent people from ripping the cd's anyways... Sounds like a contradiction to me... I just don't get it.
I'm still waiting for the RIAA and MPAA to go after the software and hardware makers next... I mean, they must know that their products are being used for illegal purposes, so they must be a fault too...
Just wait, it will happen.

yes, there is an eff.org but really get involved!

Slashdot in Politics?
·
· Score: 1
How about instead of just donating money and hiring lawyers (please note eff.org in previous posts), we get someone, who represents the slashdot community, in a position of REAL power. Such as helping to get local selectmen, mayors, and senators/congressmen elected. These are the people who make / help make laws.
Helping someone who represents the slashdot community get into some of these positions would really make a difference in the short, and long run. And, if someone did get elected through this method and through our backing, it would make the slashdot community a viable player in the role of politics.
Just think of it, politicians asking for our backing.... wow! The day will and can come, if we have the right people, means, and support.... and none of this pushing some strange fourth party politician like I was reading during the presidential elections.... I mean a real, viable candidate!
Why are companies and governments pushing anti-circumvention laws....? What's the big deal here? What are they trying to hide? Back Doors? (See the encrytption backdoor threads).
The way I see it, there's the e-book: I wouldn't read one. I can imagine the thought of paying $300.00 for a e-book reader, and then the thought of loosing my book that I paid just as much for a hard cover.... I mean, does anyone really read e-books anyways? If you really want a book, get the real thing. The only way you loose that info is by leaving it on some beach somewhere. So why all the anti-circumvention? It's not like e-books had a chance anyhow?
Now the dreaded MP3's: Has mp3's really hurt the cd sales? Was it really that bad? I have yet to hear of an artist going broke because his music was sooooo popular, but the cd's just wouldn't sell....
Most the simple encryption methods use the actual "key" as the encryption method. I have always felt that this was the safest, making sure there was no back door into the program.
To do what the government wants, the program would have to be set up differently... The back door would have to be purposely placed into the code.... and that person would have to know the backdoor. (not very safe.... word of mouth goes a long ways.) Basically, the whole point of encryption would be worthless, and no one would use it, unless they programmed it themselves. The code is out there. I can do it, most of you can do it. We can code good encryption in just-about any fourth generation programming language, including some scripting languages like perl. You can never stop that. You can pass laws and try....., Like DMCA or the RIAA trying to stop file sharing.... but you can never, never get it all.
Those who have a reason to encrypt, will encrypt. And they will encrypt effectively.
Personally, I say so what?! Let them put backdoors into crypto software. Are we not programmers? Can we not program our own cyrpto software in just about any language?
You probably should be using your own crypto software and not someone elses anyway!
Playing Devils Advocate: I personally have encryption schemes that I've written in c++... I have pgp attached to my e-mail and posteed my key on my site and slashdot.... I have never had anyone use it. I have never truly used it but once or twice just for fun. How many people actually use PGP? Really..... what do any of us have to hide? I've got nothing. Really your probably only using it if you do something illegal right?
The average Slashdot Reader: I am also your average slashdot reader. I read it everymorning and post once in a while.... I don't have much karma and don't really care (karma = 18). I feel that we all need the right to privacy and do not like the idea of someone else reading my "personal" e-mails to my friends. I don't like the idea of big brother watching over my shoulder. Anyways, something like this will only hinder the honest people. The criminals will find other methods and ways around the system....
So which one are you? Personally it sounds to me like the pro / anti gun movements... Anti-gun people say it will only hurt more people in the long run... the pro-gun people say that the criminals will find another way to get guns and only the law abiding citizens will be hurt. Where to you stand?
I do not have the answer, and feel that there is no answer. But we are all programmers here, and we can program our own software and no one can stop us there. Therefore I don't see how any such law will stop the criminals if they can just get someone to program it for them....
Nothing will be the same again... Ever. This is truly a sad day. I'm not a religous man, but praying may be a good thing right now. I feel for those who may have lost loved ones... and don't know. I also feel for those who do. May mercy come swiftly for the perpetrators.... No act of terrorism on the US will be tolerated.
At work i'm forced to use MS,...(I'm trying to change that). So I use Opera on my work computer... When I'm actually forced to use Internet Explorer for whatever reason, i do so. One site in particular I went to used the comet cursor... Internet Explorer Beta 6.0 not only downloaded but also installed comet cursor without my knowledge... It never asked or anything... Now to me, this sucks. I'm using Opera 5.0 about 99.9% of the time so I only have that one experience to speak of, but in my opinion things on the internet are getting worse. Now if they only had Lynx for the MS desktop...
Right now there are far too many Linux companies producing their own desktop. In the beginning this was great. Many companies rushing to provide you with the best operating system and the best products. Now, we have them. They're starting to emerge at the head of the OS pack. Time for the ones that fell behind to fall off and join the rest of the crowd. We must now put our efforts in the best few so that Linux can now emerge as a viable alternative to MS. Too many choices will leave the everyday consumer confused and lost.
The is a text book business cycle example for a product, and one day there will be only one major linux OS with maybe a few left over funded by companies or in the private sector. In the GPL market where things are free, this is only inevitable. The leader of the market will survive through selling packages to businesses and selling the CD's to personal users. I will always buy a CD, I know I can burn my own, but I like to support the Linux company of my choice. That company will survive. Others will fall. Linux will then become viable because other companies will sell commercial software dedicated to linux. One in my mind is VMWare. They make a great product and allows a user to run windows in an emulator inside of Linux. Another step in helping the average user migrate over to linux. Basically the electronic version of the mother's nipple, slowly weaning the user off of Microsoft and onto Linux. More companies like this will emerge, and we will all tell our grandchildren that we helped start it all.
Everyday, thousands of americans are loosing their rights. For only a $.50 cents a day, about the cost for a cup of coffee, you can help save the privacy of a Judge in your area. That's right, only $.50 cents. So please act now, before privacy as we know it will be lost forever. Contact the EFF at http://www.eff.org
People, as always, are comapring one method -> 3G to another... I don't believe that this should be so. The idea behind a free network should be because it is better. It may not be. But is that the true reason for creating it? No.
I think that the true reason is to give people, such as myself, an alternative to the big globe companies that have complete control over what I see and read. (They won't let me read alt.2600 on the usenet)
Instead an alternative could be cheaper, free, useful, or private. I like the idea of private, not because I have something to hide but because the free flow of private information is a REQUIREMENT of a free society.
Again, it's all about choices, and I commend these people for taking upon such a hefty task. Linuxrunner
Seriously... There are just way too many responses giving you difficult answers with hex editors, etc...
Just open it up using note-pad. Remove the.doc file extenseion and replace it with.txt and click it. You should read some of the files I've been receiving. Interesting stuff. If you don't see you extensions, then change that.
Start -> Settings -> Active Desktop -> Customize my Desktop -> Folder Options -> Click 'Yes' -> View Tab -> 3rd one down is the hide file extensions choice. Make sure it is unchecked. Have fun!

Open Source is both good and bad and we all know it. It's perfectly good in the sense that hackers can look at the code, create patches, easily create drivers. We can learn from the code and create something better. With today's fourth generation languages we can do any of this in no time what-so-ever!
Open Source is obviously bad for someone like microsoft. They're in the business for profit, nothing more, nothing else. Open source would cut into their profit and obvious monopoly. I.E., They're extremely afraid of Open Source.
But, that's not the end of our story. What if Microsoft went open source? How about just making the OS Open Source... I firmly believe that the hold MS has on the market would not change... Probably get better because of peoples renewed trust in the Company and even the OS knowing that others are looking at it and making fast patches for obvious holes.
Hopefully the prices of computers would drop since the MS tax would be gone. It would be Free to download. But where would Poor Microsoft make their money??? They would still sell the software... and they would also sell the OS's prepackaged with tech support.

Freeweb might not we the best thing we've all come across and sure it's going to have many problems to start But I must digress.... At least it's a step in the right direction.
People are becoming fearful of what the publish on the web.... Not because they're "BAD" in the child pornography sense... but because people are becoming fearful to speak out for what they truly believe in... The web is being censored left and right. To top that off, we hear about homes being raided and computers being take over MP3s????
I just watched "Enemy of the State" on TV last night (On HBO or something like that) and it makes you think.... How easy is it really for somone to trace me? Sure you can do everything in your power to remain anonymous.. but the truth is your computer has an IP address that is logged everywhere you go... Your movements can be tracked if not by servers most certainly advertisers.
Even when you think you're anonymous your really only relying on the fact that a proxy or other server is committing to being anonymous and not keeping logs.... but are they? What about Freenet.net and using their nyms.... I have that but really I'm still relying on the fact that they just say they don't know who I am...
Does anyone think they can truly be anonymous on the web?
