I agree in 100%, i would just like to add yes it is true that hackers will make it possible to watch your high def movie where you want, and yes they will be seling highdef rips with funny home made covers in the streets. But this will not solve wny problem, the industry will keep whining about unreal "lost sales" due to piracy, and will choose a random joe, now and them to sue until his life is ruined with debts, and maybe even their sons and grandsons will still be in debt, just to make people afraid.
Why don't you unisntall the plugin in this machine then? It seems to me that the plugin is useless since you're never going to want to use it anyway. Keep the reader as a stand alone app, so you can still view the pdfs if you want to.
If you have a malware that poisoned your DNS cache, it might as well install a new trusted key in your browser. The malware site can then have another key that is signed with the key that the malware have already installed and you will have a secured connection.
But starting with a corrupted computer to begin with is a bad example anyway. The malware could simply substitute the ie.exe program for a new one that show what he want.
The resulting face is different from the donnor and also different from the receiver one. The cranium is very important to define features of the face, that's why it is possible to get a skull from someone who died a few years to even 1000s of years ago and reconstruct and make it within reasonable recognition.
Off course that other factors that do not depend on the skull it self are going to be the same from the dead doonor, so the face will have some characteristics of the donnor and some of the receiver. That's why the article states that it will be a in-between face. I wonder how different it will be from both donnor and receiver.
And, by closing his comment, you ruined his attempt to mark all of the comments bellow his as his own.:-)
1) start a coment. 2) write stating that this is your comment. 3) don't close the comment, so that your comment is unbounded. 4) claim copyrigth of your comment. 5) ??? 6) profit!!!
You know what? Why don't you create a meta-net that has a complex and source-only (with no makefile or automake) and crypt documentation? Then, only the geekiest, the 133713s7, would be able to enter. I guess that would be quite fun, there would be no banners, spyware, virus. It could be P2P, decentralized, encrypted, secure.
On the other hand your dream net would not have, diferent point views, girls (unless you count those in the pr0n pics). The fact is, much like the realworld, you're free to hide in your basement and only meet the few people that are your friend.
But the net is much more, that are thousands of people, that are not geeks, that are worth reading. There is a diversity and a enourmous possibility of meeting people from parts of the globe that many people had never even heard of. This is the strength of the net, and this is only possible with tools that everyone can use.
Sure this enable the creation of hundreds of thousands of ego-blogs that no-one but the owner and his closest friends read. Sure this enables virus and spyware. Sure this enables blinking banners and even noisy sites. But this are facts of life. I don't like to be surrounded by ugly and incoherent ads while I walk in the streets. I don't like to be mugged.
I don't like that there is violence in the real world. But they exist, and we can whine that the world was much better in the past (not sure if this is even true), or we can try to make the world better to everyone. That is my path, I want to live in a world, and use a net where everyone can join.
* Because the site may have been hacked? * Because the package may have been downloaded from an untrusted mirror? * Because the package may have came from an untrusted third party? * Because the proxy server of your institution may be compromised?
Usually the distribution package checks a signature that is already trusted, either by a one time download of a key or by having being installed by the original cd-rom. The problem with runing a package to install it is that every package has a chance of being compromised. Shure it is possible to get a fony key and a fony package, but it is a lot harder.
Securing program and packages install is a very hard problem, people don't want to be bothered with password or checks. But they will surely be very mad when the computer starts to become unusuable bue to spyware, and they blame windows now, and if this come to be under linux they will blame linux also.
Maybe slashdot should have a Dupeflag that does not show dupe stories to people who don't want to see them. I think it is good to have dupes, I am not 24/7 watching slashdot and the dupes are normally about something that is hot or something that is very cool, if I missed the first I get to see it again and skip it. If I did not see it in the first time then I am happy that there is a dupe because it if it didn't appeared I would never have seen the post. It happens that this one for instance, that I found very cool, would be lost for me.
You hear it, slashdot maintainers? A flag for dupes and a preference for not showing the flagged articles. I would go even deeper and add preference to show all/show normal/hide all of the sections. The show all would include the articles that appear only in the specific section.:-)
I don't feel good about either. I would rather have a true open bytecode, started from 0 open and free (parrot?). Both sun and MS have their ace under their sleeves waiting to played and bot have been some what open and third party implementations friendly, but I don't trut either to keep like that when their system get's the majority of people working with them.
Yes! Sure this is exactly what I think, and every time someone uses the term over broadly or carelessly the term gets strong. It's rather like that quote from peter pan "Every time a child says, 'I don`t believe in fairies,' there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead." but it reads more like "Every time a person says, 'I fear the terrorists,' there will be a law somwhere that will pass that will make us less free".
The problem is that "terrorist" is a heavy word nowadays. It means much more, in the US I believe that is near to "traitor" to some and probably "kill him right away without questioning" to a few, at least the police of the UK is guilt of this. It is a bad thing to begin to call everyone we don't like a terrorist, it is much like using a nuclear bomb to get rid of cockroaches. The word has a very emotional response and makes people derail from the line of thought.
Now that "kid", I'm not sure we can call a 26 years old a kid but he surely act as one, is much more then a spammer, he is a criminal and diserves the penalty he got, in fact many spammers do deserve some jail time, some more, some less, too bad this is not a case of "spammer found guilt of spamming".
Microsoft is pushing the 64bits, so it will become the standard and will be cheaper. On the other hand it will force people to buy new hardware, every one knows that the new office will have a new, incompatible, format. People will start using it and will force others to install a new 64bits CPU.
Off course people could simply return the software that don't work and the adoption rate will be slower then before...
The difference is who they report to, if the spy software was recording on the same computer a encripted file that has some key that only the person who installed the software could open. Also it should be able to uninstall the program (maybe with a password of the original installer). And I would expect that other user would have some kind of warning that they are being monitored.
If this software is being selected as spyware it probably reports to the vendor an undisclosed number of information collected on the computer. It is hard to uninstall and it tries to hide himself in the computer. Those are all inacceptable, even if it do spy for the original installer also.
Mmmm, now lets see muslims, hate jews, hates gays and hate women rights.
Now let me see your comment, you are saying that :
Muslim hate Jews - I could see why, Israel (mainly Jews) puts Palestine people (mainly Muslims) in ghettos and have destroyed many Palestine cities and relocated the people to more ghettos. By the same reason one could say that Jews hate Muslin, but this is not true is it?
Muslin hate gays - In my point of view, from my experience in Rio de Janeiro (my town), the prejudice against gay people is very widespread. This is not only Muslin, but Catholics and other Christians hate gays as much as the Muslin, so why pick he Muslin out as gay-haters?
Muslin hate women rights - Sure there are the Fundamentalist and their countries controlled by the head of such churches that do hate women rights. But this is not the strict there are many muslin that believe in women rights.
You see the problem with prejudice and racism is that is very easy to make suppositions about other people that have strange costumes. It is quite easy to dismiss all muslin as "tower heads terrorist" (yes, I know you're not getting this far). What we must remember is that while the catholics were burning people to the staked for being witches or jews, the muslin had the most civilized and advanced civilizations of the time.
Since you're only usign the weigth to do a gravity trick, you could probably use mass that is already out of the earth, the moon for instance has tons and tons of rocks. There are already some trash in orbit that could be collected also.
Sure it would be a engenieer feat to colect those rocks from the moon or from orbit, but then again saving the humanity is worth it.
I am amazed to see how few people can actually see what you're talking about. People that commit to levels of stress and uninterrupted work for what, money, money, money. The same people is likely to be very unhappy and unhealthy.
In agreeing with this term you're allowing the company, from here on refered as "the mob", to enforce the NDA conditions above with the use of force against you. This force may cause fractures and internal bleeding and in extreeme cases may be even fatal. In signing this contract you are enlighted of this pre-condintions and willing to receive the penalties in case the head of "the mob", refered as "godfather" from now on, find that they are necessary to stop or disencourage any disclosure of secrets and intelectual properties belonging to "the mob".
1.) In the case of the penalties described above should not be made possible, you are here by warned that people close to you, family and/or friends may be subject to the penalties in your place and bu signing this you will agree to take legal responsability for those actions.
but I recall seeing studies which show that the number one critical attribute of persistently optimistic personalities is a chronic inability to clearly see reality.
I don't know about researchs but in my humble experience I can tell that 100% of pessimist people call them selves "neither optimist nor pessimist, just realist". Witch in my opinion just categorize them as "clearly pessimist".
What is reality anyway? Sure that block of cement that I kicked the other is real. But when you get as subtle to what people percieve of the reality it gets more and more complicated to measure it and atest that something is real or not. After all pessimist people tend to see that all is bad, even when things are not that bad and a optimistic person see as things not too bad when everything is lost already.
My personal phylosophy lately has been, if a problem does not have a solution it is solved already.

---- -$25 not even for free I would subject my self to this. And this is quite true, if I hit a site/trailer that I can't watch in my computer I simply close the tab and never look back.
I believe that those "songs" are actually more akin to talk then to singing. The use of the word "song" in the article seems to be more like a word that have been used in ages of studies started with perhaps birds and frogs. At the same time, more specific concepts in the study, and perhaps more moderns, seem to use words that relate to talking and not so much to singing, like syllables and phrases.
But then again there are syllables and phrases in music, aren't there? I may be completely wrong. To me the "songs" sure looked more like talking.
I thought Motion Pictures were also an industry.:-) Thanks for the correction and the nice tone, if all nitpickers were nice or at least non-agressive it would certainly be better net.
