only now more than 10,000 of the chips have been made.
Dude ! We're speaking economy of scales here ! I am certain they largely recouped their fixed cost with the huge number they produced !!!! This should bring the cost per item to a mere 10000$ ! Cheap !!!!!
The DRM should be not be on the cameras, but on the subject ! According to the LAMAA (Landscapes And Monuments Association of America), five billion pictures of copyrighted monuments and landscapes are illicitly taken each year. (actually it's three billion pictures, but some of them are printed on posters, and Monument Valley counts as two, being a monument AND a landscape).
No royalties are ever paid for these pictures. Some hippies are claiming "fair use" because they paid the entrance fees to the park/monument.
A big part of them are shot with a "friend" in front of the monument/landscape. By the use of such circumvention devices, the photonic pirates claim they are creating a new work, supposedly protected itself, in fact pure piracy. Such a circumvention device should be outlawed.
Therefore, the LAMAA (Landscapes And Monuments Association of America) demands that the SSSCA be amended to make DRM on new monuments and landscape mandatories. Such a device would render all but these so-called "friends" black on the photographic device and thus encourage the fine LAMAA members into providing exciting new monuments and landscapes, like the upcoming Senator Hollings Memorial, the Shores of Montana (thanks to our president's Kyoto enforcement), or the new World Trade Center.
thats right. I don't see what's wrong with tables. And I am an accessibility nazi. Tables render nicely under links, that wired link gave a poor result as links doesn't render css. In fact, that design made links look like lynx.
There's nothing wrong with tables, thy're part of the standard, they degrade gracefully in poorer browsers, unlike javascript or flash or applets.
Well if I had a wire cutter and I would cut the wires to the street lights, I would not be less guilty. Because I do it on a computer doesn't mean it's worse. Of course you can commit crimes using a computer, but making special laws against them is as ridiculous as making special laws against wire cutters. This is this kind of stance that brought you the DMCA.
There hardly is such a thing as a computer crime. A crime is a possibly illegal bad action by which you physically harm one or more human or animal individual, like killing, or raping. Stealing may be in some cases, for instance stealing my paycheck will get me starving, stealing from the wal mart is not.
Hanging the turntable from the ceiling from chains and springs, so you and your friends could dance without making the needle skip.
Hey ! Didn't you read your record's EULA ? You're not supposed to listen to music with "friends" ! You are depriving the hard working record industry executive of hard earned money !
And what's this "friends" thing anyway ? Isn't that, like other circumvention devices, prohibited under the DMCA ?
Did you know that this case rests on the DMCA's prohibition of the importation or sale of devices whose sole purpose is to circumvent copy protection? [17 U.S.C. 1201(a)(2)
Well here is the paragraph in question (emphasis mine)
* (A)
is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title;
I don't read SOLE purpose, I read "primarily designed". The main problem of the above phrase is that most executive and justice decisions are based on "sole purpose". The other main problem is that The infringement should -arguably- be punished, which already was the case before DMCA, and not the tools for infringement.
Rob Malda, CTO of Slashdot, under the name of "CmdrTaco", decided he would take two hours of his precious time to make slashdot's code compliant to a standard. Any standard.
Slashdot's stock price dropped even lower than usually, it is understood that wasting TWO WHOLE HOURS to write compliant code was too big a spoil for the already too low cash reserve of the company.

The are two types of slashdot readers : those who are unemployed, and those who will be because they are using company time to read stupid posts.
The former can not afford that expensive videogame, the latter shouldn't.
- use a quality browser : konqueror, mozilla, opera, phoenix block popups. The three latter are available on nearly any OS
- surf to quality websites only : google, nerd sites, tgp galeries, nearly any type of website has a version that respects the customers.

What you meant is "if you commit a misdemeanor"
At least THAT's a place where the ping time won't be so low as on the ground

Well like that information guy Claude Shannon said : The message IS the medium [Shannon 74]

You will hear from our lawyers !
Most countries don't extrade nationals. But next time he goes to Tadjikistan, he's so busted !!!
