It's very difficult not to idolize this man, I mean who pays a prositute with a check?? I hope she's reading this article.
There is something about reading a story of forgery, robbery and mistery. I don't think it's a glorification of the actual crime that makes me grin from ear to ear, it's more about the imagination it took to pull off these crimes. It's absolutely genius!!
Maybe this is way I love the movie Heat and all the Bond Movies.
Doesnt this just show its time for governments to fund open source projects? If governments collaborated on software, that im sure they all use,
society would be better off. There would be new, freely available applications, and governments budgets would be so much lower.
First of all, the people I was referring to were the numerous authors who write about the subject they know nothing about. So yes, I did read the article.
Second, I said nothing about it being only non-gamers who compare these games to drugs. It truely can be an addiction but who would you rather have help you with the addiction? Someone who has never played these games and couldn't ever understand what it's like or someone who has went through the addiction first hand?
I have spent an hours online and hear countless stories, some of which I believe and most I do not. This is no difference between teenagers bragging on how they pounded back thirty beers the night before in three hours and some over-blown stories about how they've spend two weeks online straight with no sleep. Don't take everything you read online as gospel.
The gaming industry employs thousands
of writers, artists, producers, animators, filmmakers designers and programmers.
Virtual characters are now sometimes worth thousands of dollars, something inconceivable outside of Hollywood just a few years ago.
No other form of culture is ascending as rapidly. Compared to gaming, traditional kinds of culture -- some elements of book publishing, opera and classical music, dance, appear declining and endangered.
THE GAMING INDUSTRY EMPLOYS HUNDREDS!!! SAY IT ISN'T SO!! How many people does the tobacco industry employ?
Oh man, who wrote this drivel? If you don't agree with the culture and the practices of it, why is he wasting his time bitching about it. These people really bug me. Are we to believe that they are living the most purest of lives and thus gives them the right to report to everyone what is right and what is wrong.
The author makes gaming sound like electronic crack and it makes me sick.
I can't believe that these 'hacker's' got paid $5,000! They're set for life!! What would the world be like without the generosity towards the high tech industry by such big companies as Seagram Co Ltd.'s Universal Music, Bertelsmann AG's BMG, Sony Corp.'s Sony Music,Time Warner's Warner Music Group and EMI Group's EMI Music. Time
Warner is the parent company of CNN.com. Especially if they has to keep paying security experts to troubleshoot their system.
using a phone number instead of a dot com name would be more difficult for the average surfer to figure out but in a few applications this would make sense.
For instance, with dot com names getting as criptic as they are now, on a business card or any other advertising media, it would attract attention as well as practically eliminating one thing to memorize.
Another application would be for customers using a web site for online ordering and checking to status of their order. They already have used to phone number to do this previously, why not use the same number for the web address?
I think in some unique circumstances it makes sense.
it seems as if the idea of wireless LANS for surfing the net is a popular selling point when it comes to these Crusoe-powered devices. At one point of the article I got the impression that the author though that this technology had a larger downside than an upside.
If that is the case than why are these new devices coming out with wireless networks cards as standard equipement?
De Saram, now living in Sri Lanka, was last year in the Sunday Times under-30 Rich List, living a millionaire's lifestyle with several homes and a Ferrari. He insists that he can easily pay the debts but that he relocated to Sri Lanka because his life in the UK was made intolerable by MI5 and the National Criminal Intelligence Service. He claims he was being harrassed because an advanced new encryption programme he devised would make it difficult for the security services to snoop on emails.
Perhaps he was getting harrassed because he was in debt 2 million pounds!
If he was using the Omniputer to balance his checkbook, cancel my order.
What good will a mobile video phone be? How many people have a heart to heart talk to their long lost relatives during the morning commute?
It's bad enough that we have the guy infront of us yapping on his mobile phone doing 20 mph in the fast lane, now we have to watch him fix his hair before hand.
I'm sorry but this is the lamest idea for a vehicle yet.
What is the difference between bionic, mechanic or robotic? Is there some kind of biological meterial in the bionic hand or does it have something to do with the interaction with nerve cells?
can you see the British Navy vs. a gang of bikers in a contest to build an amphibious vehicle. Classic T.V.!
One of the coolest things about the show is that one side has vertually no idea what the opposition is building. From just the previous life experiences of the members of the group do you get a unique perspective on how to reach the common goal.
Not once did the cast of survivor attempt build a canon.
Similiarily, in urban areas the decline of traditional bulwarks of the economy such as ship-building,auto manufacturing, and textiles, as well as the relocation of large corporations, has afflicted once-robust urban districts with the equivalent of a wasting disease that gains strength as it weakens its victim."
Why didn't he write a book entitled, "Pointing out the Obvious". He could have also included cow herding and blacksmithing in the list of depleting industry.
What ever happened to being rewarded for doing well, just because you made alot or all of your fortune using electronic means does not make you a criminal, or a bad person, it makes you smart. Will it be such a tragedy if the author makes millions off this book that was written on a word processor, printed on computer controlled presses and published/sold on the internet?
"Oh, I'm using Gnome, whose logo is a foot, so I bet I should click on the foot to find my programs." This is a design flaw that will hopefully fixed in future versions, should Gnome/KDE want to cater to those less-advanced Linux users.
If these users are using linux, they are more advanced than some of the windows users I've seen, this should not be a big concern.
Gnome and KDE, on the other hand, have managed to put together very useable interfaces without millions of dollars behind them.
This has to drive Gates crazy, unless he holds the paten on the GUI. shiver
We wouldn't be driving around in cars or by high speed passenger trains. Can you think of the name of the engineer that designed the horse? You know, the one that was completely satisfied with his/her invention. Something has to be invented in the first place before it can be improved upon.
Where would we be today if researchers became content with exsisting technology? We could very well still be travelling by steam train and horse and buggy.
I recently read an
article on scientists working on optical solutions for miniturization of computers.

Well, so much for that idea.

Get a life and leave ours alone.

We should all feel blessed.
They got off cheap.
The ordinary user just doesn't seem to care, they click and forget. I would hazard to guess that 85% - 90% or people haven't even heard of carnivore.

Your pretty funny, and have obviously a dizzying intellect.
at 200,000 light years across, who could miss it?? It's almost as big as Rosanne Barr's...never mind.
If that is the case than why are these new devices coming out with wireless networks cards as standard equipement?
So who's right??

I am also tired of every TV show being about corporate lawers and traders, we definately are missing media having to do with science.
It seems that science is 'out' and lawyers are in.
Don't get me wrong, I still like Matlock but everyone needs a little variety once and awhile.
