I'd pay for a fully featured gmail account...that'd be the perfect way for me to abstract my email from my ISP and dynamic-hosted-domains by letting me store on a reputable provider.
I'm going to be leaving for college soon...my email address probably won't be coming with me, because I won't be on that ISP any more.
When you buy a CD you have the right to do what copyright law and the license of that work says you can do.
You're right about the physical CD, you can do whatever you want with that. But the music on it, you don't own, you're leasing for an infinite amount of time on their terms.
Redistributing the copyrighted work is generally a no-no, in about 90% of countries. Especially "western" ones.
I've been using their site for about 6 months now, for pay, with no problems. They haven't stolen my CC number, the files are immaculate quality, and I've been able to get hard-to-find music that doesn't exist except in a few random music stores here in the states.
Agreed...I have no doubt that after you remove most of the suprenatural stuff, approaching 100% of the stuff described in the bible occured.
Something purely made up doesn't last thousands of years.
I'm willing to bet that over time, though, the stories of great men did just that, and morphed into legends and myths...the old case of "the fish was THIS big" expanded over a few thousand years, can blow things way out of proportion.
If referring to the machine, I'll refer to it by it's location/relationship to me. "My computer", "the family computer", "the receptionist's computer"
If I'm referring to the network, I'll refer to the system by it's DNS name. "It's on fileserver1, it's on rig, it's on gateway.tfinterlinecorp.link" for example.
I got my career started using pirate software. Let me immidiately say that in no way to I think what I was doing was good, right, or moral, but it was necessary.
I needed to become certified for the purposes of expanding my business, consulting. This was a number of years ago. So I used pirated Microsoft products to train on and become familiar with.
As soon as my initial lack-of-investment came back to make me money, I promptly purchased legitimate licenses for all the software I was using. It's important for my business to operate legitimately, and it's the morally and legally right thing to do, so I did it.
Again, I don't condone what I did, but I made it right, and I wouldn't be where I am now without it. There's just no way a small business with almost no initial capital could purchase some of this software without going into debt--which wasn't an option at the time.
If a corporation was hiding information regarding its misdoings which were at best harmful to the public good but not technically illegal, and at worst amounted to downright fraud and deceit, would you care how that information was obtained?
We're talking greater good here. It is in the interest of the public to know that Diebold's voting machines are downright dangerous to the freedom and security of American elections, DMCA and other laws on information be damned.
The actual point of WASTE is that it's secure on any scale.
I don't think the government is going to be cracking your (default) 1536-bit encrypted transmissions any time soon. Plus it even had options for confounding plaintext---it can request gibberish data from other hosts, and send said data to other hosts, making it completely obfuscated when you're sending for real and when you're flooding.
Between this and the crypto, it's very, very secure.
The fact that someone who programmed in X 12 years ago could still do so today speaks not to the skill of that programmer, but to the fact that obviously those standards are 12 years behind the times.
Peering is one thing...connectivity, and having hosts/routers along the line accept the data stream, is a totally different thing.
I've actually been thinking about this dilemma for a while and am drafting an RFC on the subject (it's not currently published, it will be a little while. Working on it in my spare time.)
The bottom line is: Unless they find some host to *proxy or NAT* all their connections, for the *entire country* it doesn't matter if they have the peering. If the backbone core routers of the United States will refuse to process traffic from xx.xx.xx.xx-xx.yy.yy.yy or whatever, it solves the problem.
However, due to the nature of the Internet, the "data embargo" blacklist would be better maintained by ICANN than by a governmental agency -- I can see the U.S. government abusing the data embargo to sever service to large areas of the globe, particularely ones that happen to have oil and people who are not Christians.
I imagine that once the RFC is posted, someone will pick up on it and post it to the front page, as I've seen happen before, but I'll submit a copy of it to Slashdot as well.
Easiest way of dealing with the power problems would be to buy another power supply when you move.
Equipment "made" to run on 60Hz/110v but *can* run on 50Hz/220v works, but it wears out quicker, from what I've heard. The slower sine wave screws the switching rectifiers up, makes em work harder, thus they wear out faster.
Agreed...I have to relay mail through my ISP's mailserver in order to send to pretty much anyone.
And it's so poorly implimented that when not on their network, I can't send my own email out using my account, I have to send mail through my private server which then smarthosts back through my ISP's server.
Decay of radioactive cesium atoms is a constant...thus the only variable in this experiment was their velocity relative to the speed of light, not anything else.

Belkin's 54g WAP is the best WAP I've ever used.
Way more featureful and easier to set up than any Linksys. And it actually works, unlike every Netgear WiFi product I've ever tried to use.

EA bought out Westwood, the developers of BF1942, among the two bigger name ones.
I don't think I've played a game recently that didn't have EA at the beginning of it.
I don't know what it means, but EA is sponsoring a new degree program at UCF, it memory serves me correctly.
Not just a new class or set of classes but a whole new specialized degree.

It's legal.

Holy crap old school....gorilla.bas.
I remember using that when I was about 5 years old. (I'm 18 now...)
You shouldn't be able to make a freaking teenager take a trip down memory lane, for christ's sake.
Probably true, but IBM sure has the "good company" image going on right now.

db@1w/1m is the efficiency rating...so his speakers are 110db sensitivity.
That's insanely high. (Most subwoofers are high 80s-low 90s, good tweeters are high 90s, max I've seen is 101)
This actually, definately, 100% explains why my DVD player absolutely refuses to play certain DVDs.
My decoder doesn't honor Macrovision...but if the drivers do, it fucks up stuff.

Thank you for explaining it in the way I tried to but didn't know enough to make work.
Do you do this kind of thing for a career, or just something you picked up along the way?
At boot time, firmware BIOS are mapped into regular RAM addressing. That's called shadowing, IIRC.
Every option BIOS and option firmware has a memory address in main memory, which is translated to call that specific chip instead of main memory.
