dumbass user on DSL connection, no firewall -->gets infected with msblast from the internet-->connects to company VPN -->virus spreads all over the company network.

Wish there was some open source equivilent.
Remove his contacts, his power and his wardrobe. Give him a crippling overdraft, credit card bills and a minimum wage job at MacD's,
There are some people in this situation, but to get put in this situation requires a certain amount of ignorance and idiocy. How did they get those enourmous credit card bills and crippling overdraft in the first place? Many people made poor decisions to put themselves in that position. The problem is that credit card companies give credit cards to people with extremely high risk. The credit companies as well as the people that are ignorant enough to accept the credit cards are equally at fault when the credit card holder gets fucked by running up his balance. And you have to question how much of that loaned money is being spent on food and necessities, and how much is being spent on a new wardrobe to go out clubbing.
I know plenty of dumbasses who came out of my high school, didn't feel like working hard at all, got shit jobs and then went out and bought new cars, designer clothes etc. Now most of them are in the hole and are generally fucked. But they did look they were making money, for a few months. Poor people can spend money just as well as rich people.
and remind him that there is no safety net. No pay = no food.
No safety net? What the hell are welfare and unemployment?
Then remind him that he needs to use his skills constructively and become a self made man.

"To those that have, much shall be given. To those that have not, even that which they have shall be taken away." Why is one man's fundamental human will "worth" more just because his daddy can fund his entrepeneuralship and get him the right connections to land 50 million dollar deals, while another man - with just as much talent and integrity - is forced to work at McDonalds and get nickeled-and-dimed to death, paying rent on a house he'll never own, taking loans just to feed himself, until one day a computer glitch fucks up his credit rating and his only two choises are starve or steal?
Thats fucking garbage. Yes some people are born into connections and do have an advantage. Others may be born into a very disadvantaged position. But that is no reason to take a victim attitude and feel sorry for your own dumbass. MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS YOURSELF.
it's not WHAT you know, it's WHO you know.
Yes this applies to those who are born into connections and are complete fucktards that wouldnt get anywhere without those connections. But if you are intelligent and have no connections, use what you know to make connections. Sometime a few generations back (in America at least) the ones with connections' father, or grandfather or great grandfather started with jackshit and made something of himself.
I'm not saying that those born into connections don't have it much easier. The fact is if you start lower down on the ladder its going to be harder to get to the top. That's just the way capitalism works.
There's gotta be a better way.
Yeah its called Communism and it doesnt work. I mean. . . unless you have a better idea.
Usually, the smaller non-turbine stuff will use 100LL, which is pretty close to normal high-octane gas. One might put in normal gasoline in a dire emergency, but running out of fuel and being stranded at an airport is not such a beastie. I suspect it would give you the same problems a Porsche running 95 octane unleaded - with a stalled engine being a serious matter on takeoff. I have a 1958 Stitts playboy with a Continental o200 engine. I could have set it up for normal gasoline, but 100LL is pretty easy to come by.
The thing you have to worry about with using low octane gas in engines setup for high octane gas is detonation (misfires, engine knocking). If enough occur you could crack a piston or worse (though cracking a piston is definatly not a good thing). I'm no expert at the subject, but as far as I understand it, spark plug timing is the real issue here. Higher octane gas allows you to advance timing (plugs fire more often) and gain more power. If you run that advanced timing with lower octane fuels, you're gonna have some problems.
Hybrids don't have to be slow econoboxes --> do you really think that toyota would announce this if they couldn't get some horsepower out of the hybrid setup?
Honda has a 400 horsepower hybrid in development that still gets 42 miles to the gallon.
take a look
here.
The real problem is that the default for win2k and winXP is to have that box checked. So anybody who is running win2k and winXP and doesn't have any idea what a dynamic DNS update is (which would probably be the vast majority), is sending these updates. My dynamic DNS provider (dyndns.org -- they dont use RFC2136 to dynamically update) has been sending mails telling its members to turn this option off for over a year now because of all the unnecessary traffic it causes.
The bioses in US dreamcasts manufactured after November 2000 will not boot audio/data multi-session cds. This was done because major piracy groups (Echelon mainly) were using this as their primary self-booting game format. The workaround is to convert the audio/data cd to a data/data cd.
isnt this format a bit outdated? Last i heard was that most dvd players will not play dvd-ram discs (though dvd-rom drives will and presumably dvd players based on dvd-rom drives such as most of the apex players). I would only consider buying one of these if it supported dvd-rw+ discs.
i'm not exactly sure myself, but if you check on cdnow, and check a few no limit cds, the record label is listed as BMG/JIVE/NOVUS/SILVERTONE/let=M(for instance Mystikal). I don't know what the hell that means, but it might be because that cd might manufactured and distributed by one company, and copyrighted by No Limit.
Another thing I noticed on indie albums is that if any artist from another label collaborates with an artist from the indie (which happens basically on every hip hop cd), the track info in the cd insert will say "appears courtesy of (label) Records". The major labels control indies on many levels. . .
Nothing I've ever done in DivX has EVER really compared to a low compression MPEG 2 but the size is incredible and the audio is awsome.
that is because you're using a card that only can capture @ 320x240. I've done some DVD backups that look pretty damn good @ a div3(low motion) itrate of around 1400 that fit on 2 650 meg CDs. Know that this doesnt look anything like the crap you download from Napster(http://www.winmx.com). Can't wait to try this new implementation of MPEG4.
I can fast forward through the commercials now when I record stuff to VHS. It hasn't killed the industry yet.
Tivo is different from vcrs because it allows realtime recording. It would be a pain in the ass to do the same thing with a VCR that TiVO does with the click of a button.
Pull the hard drives out? That would be a very inefficient method of redistribution of HDTV movies. TV capture cards have been around for years, and could potentially be used in the future for such recordings -- its gonna happen with or without TiVO. Doing it with TiVO makes is actually more difficult. Encryption is useless -- it WILL be decrypted and redistributed. Hell, right now theres a million sites that sell cards to decrypt your satellite's current method of Payperview encryption. And if its not, theres gonna be someway to intercept the signal -- its not encrypted when its displaying on the TV. Hell, right now theres plenty of internet sites that sell cards to decrypt your satellite box's current method of Payperview encryption.
The reason your company is concerned with Internet posting of media is your managers and..Os are reading about all of the Napster Hype, and recommending it as a major threat to their business -- its not. They're worrying about the wrong things because they're uninformed.
(Did Metallica know how Napster worked when they threatened to sue them?, also uninformed).
Ultimately you'll be able to watch what you want to watch when you want to watch it. It's inevitable. Content producers are going to have to get a whole lot more clever about how they make their money.
Tivo's relation to napster has NOTHING to do about internet distribution. It has to do with the effect it will have on the industry. Napster bypasses the way the RIAA makes money, and TiVO bypasses the way TV corporations make money.
With Napster you don't pay money and you get content.
With TiVO you can fast forward through ads. Ads can be consider payment for watching TV, thus you are getting content without payment.
Once you start talking about recording digital TV, content providers become very concerned about people pulling the hard drives out of your devices, getting the files off and posting them on the Internet.
haha, thats the last thing on the video content provider's mind. The small percentage of people that can use that method of content reception will have no affect on the TV industry. TiVO causes TV corporations to rethink their whole idea of commericials. Commercials will have to be contained during the content rather than in breaks, so they will be harded to filter out (But somebody will be able to filter them out . ..). Currently TiVO is working with TV industries, but ultimately i think the only solution (other than locked digital devices controlled by the TV industries preventing ad removal) is paying for ALL TV content. I dont expect to see that happen anytime in the next 20 years, but it is possible.

"The roving gangs of kids driving around in the night just trying to hit people with their souped-up cars are real, they're here today. "
What? I can tell you by expierience that no one drops $5K on a car to go hit someone with it. What you are talking about is an organized effort to hit someone, and that is not happening today. And whatever you're talking about if it does exist is not caused by censorship of books(haha don't even make me tell you whats wrong with that).
I will agree with you that violence might eventually come from censorship, but lets make sure censorship doesnt happen in the first place (i dunno how, but i'm willing to listen to ideas).
i doubt it. it may be possible that they will stop printing the books, but that alone is far in the future. The Library of congress just refused to make their books available in electronic format. In addition publishers don't like having their books available electronically either -- how are they gonna make any money if their book is so easily copied? Don't be ignorant of the strength of capitalism; money decides what happens now not people (unless they have money).
"The corporate tiger has tasted license. Now nothing else will satiate it. If the next generation of books is released only in electronic format, and can be read using only approved readers, then the books will be sure to carry the same licensing terms as those associated with todays closed source software."
that would absolutly never happen today. The publishers would lose too much money. "hey you got the new tom clancy novel? zip it up and put it on a couple of disks and bring it over." Hell and if they don't BAN gnutella and similar technologys (i'm being sarcastic here) i'm sure you'll find plenty of popular books available there.
Oh, and don't even suggest encryption, because you know people will get around it. Hell, if they couldn't crack the encrpytion you could always take a few hundred b/w screenshots and OCR it (not that that would be the most efficent way to pirate a book. ..).
jesus christ, seems like the RIAA brainwashing got thru to somebody.
btw you are definatly missing some info about a bootleg release of Nas's CD because the statement you made makes absolutly no sense. There would be no reason to rerecord a cd because it was released on the internet before it actually came out. and i really doubt that if they did rerecord it the cd would be worse than the one that was available on the internet.
this lawsuit is not completly about piracy -- its about responsibility as well. Why are the universities being held accountable? ignorance.
Back in the days of BBSes if i transfered an illegal file over the phone and was caught, was the phone company sued? i dont think so. . . Its been said before: Napster and ISPes (Universities in this case) are just providing services, the users are abusing the services.
But this misconception is understandable, given that the majority of people are ignorant to the copyright laws, and ignorant to something as "complicated" as Napster. All they know is Napster lets them get free music and they dont care if its illegal or not. I doesnt make it "right" as in regard to copyright laws, but pretty much socially accepted in college enviornments.
Realize though that the pirating which is taking place, would NOT be being replaced by increased CD sales if there was no Napster (ha and certainly not metallica CD sales). If anything Napster increases CD sales (as shown in recent CD sales trends even though they still cost $18.99 each).
yessir collective stupidity has its advantages yup As an American i recieved a letter in the mail shortly after the columbine shooting. It demanded that i join a group calle W.A.V.E. Since we Americans are all about that Nazi shit started in Germany i promptly signed the membership form and sent it back. I now tell my kids to point out any potential crazies in school. Last week my Jimmy turned in 3 people in his history class because they actually studied for the history test and passed. Everybody knows smart people are depressed and will blow your brains out with a shotgun if given a chance (must be those damn id software games). Yessir that W.A.V.E group is the best damn thing that has ever happened to us Americans. enough bullshit -- WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! America can not be represented by one ill minded group. Just because we allow it to form doesnt make it reality. In America we actually allow intrest groups to form. it has to be said: Excuse me but can someone remind me who bailed Europe's collective punk asses out of WWI and WWII?
what you "SEE" is not what is actually happening. just because the other other person sees the energy entering the machine at the time of doesnt mean it's entering the machine -- it means it entered the machine (speed of light) * (distance) b4. ok just so someone doesnt mistakenly refute this, lets say the speed of light is 5 ft/s and this machine makes energy go 200 ft/s. the input is 200 ft from the output. when i put energy in the machine at the input it will get to the other end in one second. the person at the other end doesnt see me put it in until 40 seconds later. c'mon people this is BASIC physics. think about it for a sec.
don't you remember that Mr. Wizard with the walkie talkies and speed of sound?
I was fooling with beamit and put about 120 tracks up, and i went to try to play a few of them. I noticed that it had mistakenly identified my Limp Bizkit Significant other CD as Magick Rock - Volume One - Rise 13 (whatever the hell that is).
This may be a big problem because at least 1 in 10 cds that i look up in cddb have multiple cd listings assigned to the same id. I dont think beam-its gonna be around very long. It is too easy to abuse, because it trusts the client computer. If i found out the id of a particular cd, whats stopping me from burning a cd of crap with the same id and beaming it to their server, then downloading the tracks? Or i might give my friend my username and password so he could beam cds to me, and could access my collection.
Its convienient while its there, but dont count on being able to use it for long.
does anyone know what audio compression algorithm is going to support 96khz and 24 bit?(i assume there's gonna be a loss in quality, but it still should be a better than cd quality)
are the d/a converters in current DVD players 24 bit?
are there any soundcards out that currently support 24 bit 96khz? obviously theres no consumer level ones. the highest best combo i've seen is 18 bits @48khz with some of those turtle beach cards.
ok When DVD audio comes out there will initally be a standard 96khz 24 bits. but if they start stuffing more channels or music on the dvds, then the quality's not going to be the same. Not that that's necessarily a problem -- it gives you more options. but i can guarantee that record companies are going to be re-releasing 48khz 16bit DAT recordings of old stuff in DVDs and people will buy them because they think it's better quality.
In addition to any artist that made single tracks of their music available publically. For example Korn recently released a single off their new cd Issues (Falling away from me). Several Artists have done the same thing using MP3.com, ie Long Beach Dub All Stars, Several Artists on No Limit records, and Qtip to name a few.
Question is How can they tell the difference between those that are legally given out and those that are illegal. Do they have a gigantic list of MP3s that are freely downloadable?
The fact is that if you download an MP3 from a major record label artist, it is presumed illegal immediately. Of course this pushes alternative formats. So when the RIAA does this they are purposly pushing that major record label artists distribute their music using an encrypted format.
