quite interesting idea. submit it to the creator of the tool mentioned on that site, or to the creator of driftnet (the same thing but on i386): you can find it here.
maybe a pipe could be set up so that this software will write the jpeg that finds on that pipe, and the screensaver will grab them:)
let me know if you want me to explain it to that guy [the idea is yours:) ]
...more or less the content is the same, except that in the gnutella traffic there's no ads forced to appear. so basically reading the gnutella traffic flow is like watching a "live" statistic of what human beings are doing online.
on the other hand, if you remove any porn- related keyword, probably you could reduce the traffic by a great 80%. but that's another issue (I thought of that because the 'sex' pic in the first jpeg of the article)...
I wonder if those companies would start DoSsing each other if they had no law covering their revenues.. and after a little (in internet time) period of chaos, I think that the net could auto-regulate itself.
think about it: if there were no laws covering companies that are making money off the Net, there would be no spam around. Also there would be less bandwidth available, and the net would be less spread. But with no money on the net, 80% of the web contenent would be gone (it's all about flashy animations that have to catch customers)..
...in front of the TV screen? I think they will because I'm actually "developing a technology" that allows me to "avoid restrictions" put on "digital media".
Obviously I'm joking.
They won't sue me because I'll patent this "technology" (the black cardboard) and make money from it, so since I'm getting paid for that I am under the law. A disclaimer will avoid me the legal stuff.
Thank God I didn't want to release that idea under a GPL-style license!

It may sound silly and idiot, but I wonder what could happen if some open-source company or just any individual buys windows source code. Or just the APIs. Or whatever they sell (because they DO sell their source code, obviously under heavy NDAs).
Now, what would happen if this individual releases it in the wild? Surely he will get fined, blah blah blah. But it would be too late - he will be a martyr, and the entire world will know about the windows source code.
don't forget that pr0n companies are those who are pushing the net forward - and surely they have enough money to afford any.pro domain name they want.
when will this stupid domain issue end? when are we going to push for a country-based management of domains? Let's make an example, Italy; I dream a world where all Italian companies MUST have the.it at the end. All.it domains are managed by the italian Nic (the equivalent) or whatever no-profit is eligible for that.
dot-com domains made sense in a us-only internet, as it was a while ago.
I don't know why my neighbor can have his useless and not interesting domain name waste disk space on the root servers and waste bandwidth for MY connections! uhm.. never mind.
[I wonder what could happen if I can put the deCSS algorithm as a domain name.. will the US government shut down the root servers for DMCA infringement?:) ]
if anything like the infamous bill will be passed, tell her that the US may suffer of a great loss in selling of technology oversea. I suppose that any kind of technology which includes copy prevention systems will cost MORE - and therefore sell LESS in places where such technology is not requested.
.. I noticed that a paper I wrote a LOT of years ago can still be found online somewhere.. so I suppose that although -in the average- web pages do disappear, if those pages contain documents, they will survive the death of their original webpage.
not that it was an interesting document - just a little paper about nothing important. But still, it's out there.
My thoughts? I think that as long as a website can be "saved" in some form, its content will be available in other forms for a long amount of time.
this should make people think, especially those who put copyrights on their webpages, or don't want some information to spread around.
could we say that information want to be free as long as it's downloadable?
before I had to go back to italy to serve the army. It was an excellent opportunity to learn, I was taking care with other people of the beowulf cluster - and the rendering speed was impressing, around 12 seconds to render the 'famous' pvm x-vase when the cluster was around 60 nodes. the interesting part was that there were little optimization on the network and on the linux - it was a standard redhat 6.2 kernel, and the computers were just put on a shelf, connected, booted with a floppy that got the image from the network and self-installed the machine, rebooted, and you had a node ready for rendering.
on the other hand, the people working there were the most easy-going and honest I've seen so far - there were no hypocricy going on, and basically there was a place for anyone in it - still without too much trouble.
just wanted to share that with you guys, in case you wondered if such a non profit company was really working - it is. definitively.
anyone wanting to start something like that in norther italy?:)
come on people, no matter how smart is your comment on that article. Nobody won't agree with you in full nor in part HERE; probably you can only find some slightly disagreement and some academic debeates.

growing up in fear leads to a rotten society

GPS Wristwatch for Kids
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I know I am not even able to understand how society will evolve in the next years. I have difficulties to fully understand in details the behavior of people 10 years younger than me, so I am sure that I will have difficulties with my childrens. Which, let me state it, is a good thing. A parent MUST not understand totally his/her childrens. There must be some mis-understanding in families, because otherwise the kid will grow up without enough moral strength to fight against the world, or just survive into it. Now, I think that a great part of being a children is doing something forbidden. When you do something that's forbidden, being it wathing pr0n or sneaking into a girl house or go explore an abandoned house, you feel like you're adult. Later you realize the dangers you have risked, and at that point you have grown up a little bit. IMHO growing up is reaching an equilibrium between what you CAN do and what you CANNOT do, and what you SHOULD do. As you grow more, you start understanding the reasons that pushed your parents to act like they did, and by now you'll probably be a parent yourself. I'm making it a LOT more simple than it is, bare with me - there's no "Kid How-To" out there, and those who are available are wrong because there cannot be a Kid How-To, except in dictatorships (but I digress). So, back into topic: if a kid is afraid of doing something because he KNOWS his parents knows where he is (and probably will know what he's doing..with the next generation of such watches) his maturity will suffer. He will never become an adult capable of making reasonable decisions; he has grown up with 'someone else' making decisions for him and HE COULD NOT EVEN HAVE A CHANCE to disobey, and be proven right. Such watches will endanger the grown up of such kids. Another point in favor of kids could be their popularity in schools.. think about people making fun of you because your parents don't trust you.. and forced you to have a gps watch.. enough here).
Sure they/we will get used to it. Sure next generations will get used to it and either 1. develop new ways to avoid such system (as right now fake ID cards are) 2. suffer from it and become morons that are used to to what is told them to do, being it from parents or government
So we will all become either criminals or perfect citizens. Cool. Now I understand the leading trend in society! (I'm joking here, this is a provocative sentence. That said just to avoid those of you that love not understanding sentences and waste time for a 'fun' phrase writing paragraphs trying to prove wrong a sentence that was ironic at the beginning).
Just thought about it.
Oh well of course I'm not even thinking about raising a children in the US. But that's another topic. Anyone would like to go colonize Mars with me and raise kids there?:)
I'm an EU citizen; what could happen over here? If Microsoft succeeds in the US, but -let's h{o,y}pe- the European Union will force MS to strip down windows.. what's going to happen? Non-US version of Windows? An English version for UK and an English one for the US? One browser to rule them all, and in the darkness BIND(8) them? Will Microsoft move to another country?
...isn't the US DoJ trying to control software that is sold all over the world?
...isn't all that funny? I mean, not my post. Just the whole situation. Mixing software with laws is like trying to solve an equation using kitchen tools. Sure you can figure it out, but no cookbook will ever describe it.
...looks like there's too many people with free time around...
microsoft is embracing all of that (passport, atm, slot machines, msnbc).
what's next? reproduction? sex? will we have microsoft powered condoms, that will look bigger but require a lot of resources?...wow...
new bug in IE 12.0:cross-bank-account scripting

new advisory posted XX-XX-XXXX (date censored due to DMCA violations).
description: new bug in IE version 12, default on all windows embedded applications (including ATM, slot machines, car stereo systems).
quick description: by using some malformed ATM-cards, an attacker can inject a code that will make IE cross-jump between bank accounts, and therefore access the internals of the account. The string has been sent to microsoft for further analyzation, and hopefully they will give an Obscure Patch within the next eight months.
personal considerations: perhaps in a world of full-disclosure, microsoft would give a patch in few days and save zillions of ATM users, but surely this system could be used by terrorists to subvert the US banking system. so censoring advisories is a good idea.

I'm sure some issues may arise. Now, what do you think about that 'cypherCookie' thing? could it work?
if I can spoof someone else's address to receive HTTP, will the owners of the spoofed addresses receive extremely high WebBills?

could they be put open-source? could the open-source world absorbe such drivers, which are described to be extremely well-written?
I don't know exactly which license issues are blocking it, but since the product have been sold to Palm - and Palm has no interest in further developing some chunks of BE, would it be possible for the Open-source community to "buy" the licenses and outsource everything?
