Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows...
Work/Time = Power
Since Knowledge = Power, and Time = Money, we have:
Work/Money = Knowledge
Solving for Money, we get:
Work/Knowledge = Money
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.
Conclusion: The Less you Know, the more you Make
The main problem with at home voting is that you don't have the same level or privacy. I'm not talking about hackers, I'm talking the potential for a relative to look over your shoulder and see who you vote for, while exiting from a voting booth, you can always lie. If you think about the implications, and the exponitial effect of millions of controlling relatives/spouces/parents, this could create serious problems. So until we can vote with thought recongnition private devices, I wouldn't support such an idea.
Umm because they make money off the selling of the games, they don't make any money from selling the consoles themselves, actually they are sold for a lose. So they shouldn't care how the games are played, just that they bought.
I've always seen scientology as a pyramid scheme rather than a criminal orginization. Though in many states pyramid schemes are criminal so shrugs. But hey atleast Hubard won his bet.
Read it again, this is a software lock against the record labels. Meaning they have to pay so much for every million or so cds they produce, and this software will stop working once they have made so many cds. Yes something else to drive UP the price of CDs while reducing their value.
Hmm lets do the math.
10 scientist making $100G a year
1M
10 security guards making 50G a year
.5M
lab space and equipment a year
.5M
2 mice bent on world domination
2M
= 4M
-grin-
(or is it more like 1 screwdriver 2Million)
Yes, but if your remember the point of gnutella is to trade files, many of which as executible files. So this will definatly put a damper on that use of gnutella.
However, if the knowledge is protected by trade secret, I'm free to rediscover the knowledge or reverse engineer it and use it as I want. If you've sold me a product that does encryption or or compression and is protected by trade secret, I'm free to disassemble the code and figure out how it works. Large companies with incentive to gain the technique can do research to rediscover it or hire a team of hackers to reverse engineer it. I may have less knowledge of this techniques, but I have the freedom to gain that knowledge, and once gained, to use it however I want.
Because the Supreme Court has an excellent record on making decisions based on the law, and not what feels good. If you had actually stopped to read the Supreme Courts rulling on the elections case, you might understand.
No, the version written by that norwigian kid was written for windows. Some of his intent was to have it ported by someone else to linux, but he wrote it for windows, I guess he didn't know linux ro something shrugs. But I digress the first version of DeCSS was for Windows.
Actually I personally don't think they give a damn about the MPAA, I think what they care about most is the fact that this case can make linking to banned matterial be against the law. A boon for the federal governments and their attempts at trying to enforce land laws on cyberspace.
I personally hate it when people give figured for the "cost" of something or other to US buisnesses. Because if we can all remember every dollar spend is a dollar made by someone else. So if I have to pay a tech to come and fix all the computer, or buy better virus detection software. That isn't costing anything to US companies as a whole. Now if you want an acurate figure you would want to compute cost of total productivity because people couldn't get their work done. And once again you would have to look at increased productivity among people who solve virus problems:) But all in all I'm sure you could come up with some lost of total GDP just have to consider what a lose really is.
Well 2 mistakes actually one spelling the other factual.
1. Its viruses (ii ending for latin virus isn't a latin word)
2. depends upon what you call a virus actually, it can get worms, as there are worms out there that can get root, which if it was programmed to do so, could deposit a virus, but so far such a program hasn't been caught in the wild. But that doesn't mean anything.
Your probably right, as the naming for the 6.x branch was from that other sci-fi series, which I suddenly can't remember the name too, even though I've watched it before:(
??? This was signed by Clinton. ??? Not that I'm saying W. is anti-filtering or anything, but its stupid to spin things onto the new president that he didn't even create.
Sorry, I tried to check my facts, but I couldn't find it. I appreciate it. The RHPS was a stupid sidebar to add to my comment, because it was filmed in a country with 18+ laws.
Your you live video and some quick replays yes, but they did mention that it also had the ability to erase unimportant people for replays, that takes modeling

Lasers are a bit faster than radio, not by much, but shrugs.

Wow, how far did you have to reach up your anus to find that answer???

believe it or not, porn sites make money from paying customers. neither of which do much of thier buisness at libraries or schools

So your saying I can just stick a CD-RW disk in my CDRW drive format it, and start using it as a RW drive?? don't know if I believe it..
Umm does DeCSS ring a bell?
And its fully supported now???? snicker

Yes, but that makes the actual filming of the movie itself illigal.

No I was just saying that more than just CO2 gets burned released while burning trees
I meant "For your live video..." not "Your you live video.." -grin-
