Actually, in any scenario where I would have the ability to implement something like this, I am usually listening to a shoutcast stream, and not my own collection anyway.
For listening to music, I usually prefer live streams ala Radio Paradise (love my Roku Soundbridge!), but there are a couple of places where podcasts shine:
1) NPR. I sync stuff every night for the hour commute to and from work. great way to catch up on news and such. 2) Workout music. I would never listen to dance/techno music normally, but it works well on the elliptic trainer. Here's where I get mine: http://www.djsteveboy.com/mixes.html
If we had wifi everywhere (when in the car) with access to things like Radio Paradise, podcasts wouldn't be quite as useful to me.
boards for epileptic support shouldn't be written with javascript and image upload ability in the first place? Just a thought. I don't recall ever having strobing marching penises coming out of the monitor at me when I read usenet all those years...
The whole point of sql in the first place was so that you could have, say, management do some queries without HAVING to have somebody code a userland tool for them.
Except that my outside toys are easily > $10K. Several bikes, a couple of snowboards, and all the assorted clothing and such (and lift tickets in the winter... not to mention airfare and such for the big trips out west).
To me, it's worth it. Not sure how much value there is in $1200 for a vidcard for personal use, though, but to each their own.
1) He views the risk of someone doing something nefarious from his network to be small 2) The wireless segment is firewalled from the rest of his network, and only specific outbound traffic is allowed.
You don't need to crack anything to make a copy (ok, so you can't easily get media/burner to actually dump the data to another disc). Xine will happily play an image created using 'dd if=/dev/dvd of=bitcopy.img'. The problem comes in wanting to actually watch the thing on any player or hardware you want. AFAIK, decss and the like are still 'illegal'. These things do nothing to stop a bitwise copy to hard disk, since all players need to be able to read the track containing the key to play the movie.
Um. The *only* way i'm able to even *watch* dvds on my computers (not a single windoze box in the house) is because of 'illegal' copy protection breaks via decss.
bad analogy. It's more like your neighbor set up a normal FM transmitter that your radio then receives, maybe when they are listening to Satellite, or pay TV.
In fact, *that* is even more difficult for you to accidentally 'trespass' on, since it requires you tuning into the station. If someone is using 802.11 with no restrictions, and handing out DHCP addresses, well, how can it be intrusion if I didn't do anything but turn on my computer?
If the doc requires a connection to a database, surely requiring a connection to a standard authentication mechanism (kind of like how firefox does it if you assign a master password for your stored passwords). Yes, a PITA, and maybe silly, but no more so than allowing a word processor document to connect to a database in the first place.
And just think of how much all of that overhead costs. Even without subsidies, most people could probably afford healthcare for the few times they are sick or break a bone if the for-profit insurance companies simply went away. How many people, paid salaries, work in the health insurance industry? How much extra cost does the overhead of allowing/denying a claim add jacking the price up even more?
Get rid of insurance. Use government subsidies where necessary (medication for long-term disease, etc).
"Crazy Word functionality?" I think it's more like "basic expected functionality." Having a writing tool designed for an office environment that doesn't have revision tracking would be like writing a program without using source control.
You do that with your program editor? Sounds like a mess to me. Version control, as is done with code, should be done on a content management server in an office environment. Doing it in the doc itself leads to a mess, and if you need to share with 3rd parties, disclosure of things you likely didn't want to disclose.
And how would AV software protect you from a worm? Maybe windoze clients shouldn't be listening on the ports the worm spreads on? That can now be pretty easily accomplished using the firewall included with XPSP2 and above.
...don't need to run antivirus software. Period. In fact, I view AV software as malicious code itself. Look at all the problems it causes, and the cpu and disk cycles it wastes scrawling through its heuristics and signature list on disk and memory access.
AV is an attempt at a technical solution to a user stupidity issue. If you don't do dumb shit, you don't get infected.
I'm not talking about worms (which AV does nothing about). I'm talking viruses, trojans, spyware, and the like.
...about 'g' rated evangelism on TV. Truly. What the fuck? If ANYTHING requires parental guidance, it's that religious brainwashing being brought to your 5 year old on public television. That crap should be what is being forced into different timeslots and censored. Certainly not given a "TV-G" rating! Christ!
Light source analysis was one of several methods used at a talk at Blackhat DC this year. The much more visually impressive tool, for me, was the ability to show quite explicitly what has been modified in a lossy-compressed (like jpeg) image:

But even so, I don't own any DRM'd music anyway.

A google apps appliance on the corporate LAN would be a huge win. Imagine how easy to support and scale it would be.
I meant animated images. My bad. I guess that would kill illustrative animations, but if you want them, then you have to assume that risk.

Do people forget this? SQL itself is the 'gui'.

If they won't virtualize other OS's, then they are not an option to be the main os in places that make use of virtualization.
You'd think they'd WANT to support everything, and do it well, so that people would actually *want* to choose them as the host os.
Stupid.
not knowing what hyper-v is, wtfishyperv came to mind as a tag. Fishy Pervert?
so how long before somebody creates an adblock rule that will protect you from hitting the FBI URIs?
As another poster already wrote, JB != CP.
My guess is that:
1) He views the risk of someone doing something nefarious from his network to be small
2) The wireless segment is firewalled from the rest of his network, and only specific outbound traffic is allowed.
At least that's how I do it....

If you read the linked article, you'll notice that Neal has some responses to questions posted. He used both methods in his Blackhat presentation.

No. Then they will kill those of us who are running our own mail servers. Make it a law, and they get to abuse me even more than they already do.
