To mimic him, just let your lips set together and barely move them when you talk. Don't worry about being intelligible. (I'm pretty sure they voiced over in that scene.)
OK, so I read a MIME type, and it says that it's image/x-JPEG... I pass it on to my file handler, telling it it's safe to process.
My file handler looks at it, and oh! It's name is sucker.jpg.exe. It's an executable, and my file handler was told it is safe to execute...so I'll just spawn it and...
Basically, a law may be constitutional when interpereted one way, yet unconstitutional when interpereted another way.
It's a classic catch-22. If it's ruled constitutional right away, then it can't really be challenged. If it can't be challenged, then it probably isn't constitutional.
This is a terrible situation! No offense to Mr. Skylarov.
Stipulated, the DMCA is unconstitutional in America. Convicting a foreign entity may be much easier, thereby creating a precedent in support of the DMCA.
That when Elcomsoft isn't even in American juristiction.
This is a perfect situation for upholding the DMCA. (grimace)
Since the Russian company isn't protected by America's constitution, they're much more likely to be convicted, which could later serve as a precedent in upholding DMCA cases here at home.
While I tend to agree with the base principles put forth, I find the language you quoted to be very biased in nature.
Examples include:
"forced" instead of "required"
"tore" instead of "dismantled"
"eliminated" instead of "taken out of the picture"
"cut" instead of "scaled"
Sarcastic use of the word "devastating"
I've found that I can reach a much more intelligent audience by not showing my bias in your language, but in my arguments.
Moderators: Please don't think I'm trolling. I'm just attempting to set the record straight.
Just thought I'd point this out, since a lot of people would find it amusing. But, of course, a lot of people would probably think I'm trolling, and a lot of people would think I'm offtopic.

We just finished building my house (modular), and I'm moving straight into the basement (being the oldest son doesn't have too many priviledges.)...
I get to build my own room, so I can do whatever the heck I want with cabling and wiring. It's going to be a large room (about 450 sq ft), so I'm going to use half of it as my lab, where I do my evil experiments. (Well, evil in terms of quality...most of my stuff is just a bad collection of hacks.)
I'm going to put 6-conductor RJ45 jacks, one live 100base-TX jack, and two 110V sockets, evenly spaced, every 6 ft.
I'm going to do both the phone and Ethernet over shielded cat5, and I'm pondering what the electrical inspector would say if I put RF shielding around the power cables.
My computer desk will be in the room, complete with a 100Mb/s switch serving the wall ports.
The walls are going to be a light pastel green, with tongue-and-groove fake hardwood floor, and I'm going to use indirect flourescant lighting.
I'm looking at exercise equipment, since the typical geek is no longer overweight
Oh, and my computer's going to be about four feet away from my bed. If my parents want me outside that room, they'll have to drag me.
But then the script kiddie gets arrested...or at least the guy who explained how to do it.

How can an author receive anything after the author is dead?
Easy...whoever inherits the right to receive royalties gets the money. Legally, the heir is the same person as the author, for that specific situation.
My dad does software development for both 68* and x886 embedded systems.
He told me that the nice thing about 68* CPUs is that they complete every instruction in two clock cycles, while some instructions on an x86 can take over 20 clock cycles.
Don't know for sure, though. He told me this while we were discussing the old 6802E. (No, that's not a typo.)
Yeah, I know everyone hates the "My dad told me" posts.
I just realized..These windowalls (as Ben Bova called them in MoonWar) would have to be somewhat thick, or they'd still be stuck using miniaturized components.

It said, "Windows 95 or better" ... so I installed an Apple IIe ROM.
Hey...it's an open-ended statement.
It's not free in any way, but it's worth the download.
It's free as in beer. Sure, the free version has ads, but they're inobtrusive, and it still works great for any purpose I've tried it for.
I have the same problem when I build my own pages by hand. IE still doesn't render it properly.
...between instaling a keylogger on someone's computer and retrieving data from it.
Thanks to ex post facto, they won't legally be able to use data logged before the date of the court order.

Actually, I'd rather call you a skeptic. What you said doesn't stink.

Easy...whoever inherits the right to receive royalties gets the money. Legally, the heir is the same person as the author, for that specific situation.
So by putting it in an electronic format, it'll be more difficult to plaster on the internet? There's something wrong with that.
It'd be just as easy to place a piece of e-paper on a scanner and use OCR software as it would be to do the same with my college textbook.
It'd be much easier just to load the book ROM into my ROM reader and make a fortune file out of my favorite quotes.
I dunno...I might sue them for burning my legs when I hold the laptop on my bare lap.

Maybe he meant "unmask shark"
Wonder what would happen when he did that to pictures of Bill Clinton and Osama bin Laden?

Depends on if "regular users" include gameaholics who like to upgrade to the latest video accelerator.
Though I can see something like the USR V.Everything for video cards coming out, based on an FPGA.
I've always wondered why ICs rarely ever shrink beyond a certain size, which is partially determined by their pin count.
Why haven't I ever seen any breakthroughs in this area? IIRC, the actual silicon sections are/can be tiny compared to the chip case.
Would a breakthrough in this area create a rush in miniaturized devices?
Granted, it wouldn't help for chips whose dies are almost as big as the cases (CPUs, for instance)...
