A lot of people though are average users and are unaware of this fiasco, especially if they don't pay attention to the news (a lot of people don't). Subpoenaing the "phone home" records will be the best way of determining how many systems were infected, assuming those records are kept.
Which just goes to show you that we need to revamp corporate liability laws. The penalty for a crime being committed by a corporation should be the consumer level penalty multiplied by the number of people who could have stopped the crime from being committed. At any company, this would include the entire board of directors, the CEO, etc. All the way down the management chain to the guy who came up with the bright idea in the first place. Even the people who implemented the disaster would be counted...
Corporations are legally treated as one person but they have the resources (brainpower, money, time) of more than one person, and the laws should be altered to take that fact into account.
So in this instance, instead of the damages being $100,000 * number_of_infections, it should be $100,000 * (number_of_board_members + number_of_employees_who_worked_on_the_project_and_ their_managers) * number_of_infections. I like that idea.
Why do I like that idea? Well because these insane copyright infringement and hacking (I'm sorry, "cybercrime") laws can totally ruin an individual, and they should carry the same level of potential for ruination for a company. If they did, the company would be more inclined to use their brainpower to, say, stop being assholes and forcing DRM on us and opt to cut out the middle-man (the RIAA) and sell music directly to us at a reduced cost in order to boost sales. Actually, it doesn't take much brainpower to come up with that one...
That they stole code from LAME and violated the LGPL got like one minute of news airtime before falling into the background. That really isn't important to the average person, which is really a damn shame. I would expect that part to be more important or at least more-covered in the media.
(although since they contracted out the creation of the program, they arguably didn't steal code from LAME but rather encouraged another company to do so. That's really for a lawyer or ten and a judge to decipher...)
Portable datacenters with a few days to a week of on-hand fuel for power would be an incredible help in emergency situations after a disaster, especially if Google has as much dark fiber around as I think they do. Even one strand of fiber and a WiFi VOIP system would put tens of thousands of people in touch with one another.
The theory isn't that silly, really, it depends on whether they want to deploy temporary datacenters or permanent ones. I know somebody who lives off-grid and runs his house off a natural gas burning generator, with the natural gas supplied by a natural gas well on his land, which is not scheduled to run dry in his lifetime.
Sometimes the fuel is available on-site. Have you ever thought of that?
This isn't a scenario regarding a purchase though, it's a scenario involving a hacking incident. If I take my Sony CD to a friend's house and it r00ts their machine, that is an instance of hacking, regardless of who bought the CD.
The proof is in the computers themselves, not in anything on paper. The number of infractions will likely be estimated. I'm not familiar with the details of the rootkit--does it phone home? If it does phone home then they can subpoena the "phone home records" and determine which connections originated from Texas.
Teaching your kids right from wrong, teaching them about responsibility and hard work. Teaching them the difference between fantasy and reality. Teaching them about compassion, honesty, and loyalty. Endowing your children with skills and abilities that will help them to mature and eventually achieve independence. Real, honest "quality time."
Discussing literature (or even movies), for example, is infinitely more valuable to the growth of a child's character than discussing a sporting event, and yet so many parents think that taking their children to see a sporting event and talking about who "won" is going to somehow enrich them. Is there every any instance in life where there's a clearly defined winner and a loser? Is the concept of a winner and a loser even meaningful at all? Even children's books 10 or 20 pages long have characters that have emotions and learning to express one's emotions and inner thoughts is an extremely important skill in life. What emotions do football players express? What, if anything, do they express?
The meaningful and constructive time is the time spent building the child into an adult. That's the responsibility of the parent, when they choose to have children (a responsibility many parents shirk, I might add). Upon having a child they undertake an 18-year journey during which they should be constructing a reasonable, capable, confident, honest, loyal, mature citizen of the world.
The kind of quality time some people are spending with their children is leading us to a society where the adults still think and act like children. The parents of the child in this story are the case in point. More parents need to actually raise their children, instead of leaving that job to the television, video games, the internet, or the neighbor's dumbass kids.
I think that what was said was more along the lines that the minutes which were spent between parent and child were constructive and meaningful and led to the building of good character and judgement which resulted in the capable adult human being representing themself today on slashdot. A lot of people think they "spend enough time" with their kids, but they don't spend enough meaningful, constructive time with their kids.
Maybe he posted about it in his blog (well, unlikely for China these days) or website before going to do it. Maybe he has a diary. Maybe he was dressed up like his in-game character. Maybe there were witnesses. Maybe he told somebody what he was going to do before going to do it.
The list goes on. There are plenty of ways to prove it, perhaps even beyond a reasonable doubt. I mean if he's dressed up like a night elf and he jumped carrying his "magical staff" how much more evidence do you want? heh.
Haha, this actually reminds me of something that I witnessed when I was a lot younger, probably 6 years old or so.
I was at one of my relatives' house and me, my brother (~3 years old), and my cousin (~5) were all jumping off a bed in one of the bedrooms and landing on the carpeted floor on our knees with a loud "thud" which we thought was terribly exciting. My cousin was reluctant to jump at first but he witnessed my brother and I make multiple jumps with no ill effect, so he thought he'd give it a shot. He enjoyed the first jump but the second jump...oh boy did he scream. On the second jump, he broke both of his legs.
Looking back to it, I really don't know why he broke his legs and we (my brother and I) didn't. Diet, maybe?
I'm sure google has. It's not like you can't have another truck towing a generator following the truck towing the portable datacenter.
I used to work at a datacenter and we had a generator small enough that you could fit 12 of them in a shipping container, and the genny was enough to run a 500 machine datacenter for three days without refueling. The portable datacenter may well have a generator included.
WoW already does this to a certain extent. You receive diminishing experience per kill the longer you play for a single session. Of course the solution there is to have a lot of alternate characters to play, but the upside is that if you only play 3 hours a night or whatever you will always be getting maximum experience per kill.
The Promotion aspect works because companies see married men as able to make a commitment and stick to it through thick and thin ("for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health") and are able to undertake great responsibilities--they're willing to undergo great hardship for great rewards. I forget the statistic but the significant majority of upper management in any company (regardless of size) is married. I would be surprised if it didn't work that way in any country. Being married, having children, etc, works absolute wonders for peoples' careers. I know people who have gotten married (sham marriages by a Judge and not a Priest) just for the career bonuses.
Couldn't care less about the government? Not gonna get your marriage license, then? I guess you don't care about the tax credits either, do you?
Marriage has been, since the dawn of the idea, a political, governmental, and social thing with little to nothing to do with God. That you need a license issued by the state in order to do it and have it recognized should tell you something. If you really want to make God happy, don't get the license, don't get married in any official context, just stay faithful to your "wife" without declaring anything official. I'm sure God would be pleased to have a good, honest man as his own child, a man who doesn't need a contract of any sort in order to commit (and demonstrate commitment) to the woman he loves. If you think it would be difficult to remain faithful to this woman until the end of your days without declaring your bond to her in any official context, you may want to re-evaluate your position.
Me, personally, I'm all about the tax credits and workplace promotions as a result of being married.
Also, for your lower-wattage needs, technology has evoloved recently to allow for the manufacturing of spiralized cold-cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL); the lamps used for computer case modding and LCD backlighting. Not only are they instant-on, but they also work with regular dimmer switches. SOS Lightbulbs only carries up to a 30W incandescent equivalent CCFL. (I haven't yet used these, personally) http://www.soslightbulbs.com/shop/customer/home.ph p?cat=1703
It sounds like the "type" for you, then, is "project" -- The keyfield of the database would be the project name, and the data would be everything associated with the project.
Type managers don't only store/organize data of a particular type, but rather are keyed on that type. Using iTunes as an example, additional information about the song such as Artist, Title, Album, Comments, etc...they're all non-musical data which are associated with a piece of musical data (which is the key in the database).
You couldn't use a music type manager? An application that ties together all of the different things related to music but which are unrelated to one another? So...you wouldn't like it if your music player also displayed lyrics when a song came on? Or if it displayed the tablature as well? Or if you could search all your music for a particular chord or melody or lyric or date when you performed it with your band (or whatever)? You seem to misunderstand what a "type manager" could (or should?) be.
Much like the example in the article of Nero ripping CDs, burning CDs/DVDs, making ISOs and browsing ISOs, you seem to want to do a lot of stuff that is related to music, but which aren't directly related to one another. Displaying the tablature is related to the music, but is largely unrelated to displaying the lyrics and both of those are largely unrelated to the date when you last played the song live, but it's all information which is directly related to the music itself.
As far as images and text, it sounds like the "type" you need to manage is "project" -- I've found myself in a similar boat, lately. Doing 3D renderings which go along with 2D Photoshopped documents which together go with a text document specifying which part goes where and which figure should be consulted for what part of the specification. All of this could be organized by project, and then I could search through my projects for everything using LEDs or everything that makes use of PIC microcontrollers or everything that required woodworking or all of the projects I did before 2004, or whatever. I've wanted, for a long time, such a "project manager" type of application.
I don't think you understood the scope of what a "type manager" really is. The idea is like a database using the primary format as the key, but the database can store more than just the primary format. In the case of a "music type manager" the key would be a music file itself, but the associated data would be the lyrics, the musical notation, tablature, performance notes, and so on. The same way that a dictionary is indexed on single words but contains many words in the definition; or that an encyclopedia is indexed on ideas or concepts but contains more than just that in the article (ie, a wikipedia article contains images and audio in addition to ideas and concepts).
Just because iTunes doesn't do what you want for your music doesn't mean that a type manager wouldn't satisfy your needs. It sounds like you may need something more akin to a "musical performance manager" or some other "type" but don't discount type managers out-of-hand because iTunes doesn't float your boat and is the primary example of the article.
This is why we need cryogenic intercoolers on our air intakes to either: 1. Liquefy the nitrogen out of the atmosphere and not allow it into the combustion system (vent it) or 2. Liquefy the oxygen out of the atmosphere and inject it (in liquid form) into the combustion system (vent everything else)
The second option would be the best solution. The main components in air are, in descending order of quantity (according to wikipedia): Nitrogen (78.084%), Oxygen (20.947%), Argon (0.934%), Carbon Dioxide (0.033%). Nitrogen boils at 77.36 K, Oxygen at 90.20 K, Argon at 87.3 K, Carbon Dioxide at 195 K. So the intercooler would need to operate at or below 90.20 Kelvin but above 77.36 Kelvin in order to liquefy the oxygen while leaving the nitrogen intact. Argon, as a noble gas, can be safely disregarded, so one could even go below 90 Kelvin, down to 85 K, say. Carbon Dioxide is a minor issue, minor enough that it too could probably be disregarded. Eventually, enough Carbon Dioxide would collect in the intercooler that it would need to be cleaned, but any conventional engine will have an operating cycle short enough that this wouldn't be a tremendous concern. It would be a greater concern in, say, power generation applications (stationary engines that run 24x7).
You say "but that would be so complicated!" but I think that with the wonderful advantages of stirling cryocoolers, it could be achievable by simply adding another device to the already-complex serpentine belt system most cars have. As an added bonus you could probably do away with the air conditioner compressor and use the surplus cold of the vented atmospheric gases to cool intake air for the car's air conditioning system (or even for cooling the engine itself).
Probably a pipe dream, but it would solve the problem. It would also dramatically increase engine power as a result of the liquid oxygen being more oxygen-rich than air, even when air is under considerable boost pressure from a turbocharger.
Either way, at this point, he's ranking very high on the piece of shit-o-meter.
Why? because he doesn't want to be a lab rat? Because he doesn't want some drug company patenting his genes? Because he doesn't want anybody turning a profit on his immune system?
You say that like you can't put an ad in craigslist "nude models wanted" and then take a dozen 512mb memory cards worth of pictures at the low low rate of $80/hour or whatever.
To discourage people from adopting an alternate point of view simply because of "overwhelming evidence" is to insist that we never question the flatness of the world because we've always been told that it's flat by every person in a position of authority.
Dr. Mills has written a 1200 page document on what he calls "Classical Quantum Mechanics" and his ideas have been published no fewer than sixty times in peer-reviewed journals. He might be a wacko, but he's at least 1200 pages and 65 journals worth of wacko.
I have a feeling that we haven't seen this come to fruition yet because when this "hydrino" combines with oxygen it forms something that doesn't behave like water at all, which could lead to problems when it leaks into the atmosphere and people start breathing it. The system it seems would need to be entirely contained in order to ensure that none of these "mini hydrogens" got out into the ecosystem and wreak havoc.
