With this tech there is many ways to hide your message.
Of course e-mail is out. But using a web site and splitting up your message throughout the images would be great.
Maybe as the images are layed out on the screen, the top one being part one, middle part two and so on.
A whole site can be used to hide anything from Decss to "anarchy" text files or plans to blow up shit.
Still, my favorite was the earlier suggested posting pr0n to newsgroups. See, before you "diss" this type of product get creative. The users will, the NSA will....
I've yet to see anyone mention that. Just trying to point out this isn't the first time.
Access to free software is out there... they are just trying to make it so that they can collect because it's easier. Like how KFC chicken is 10 times more expensive than cooking a whole one you bought yourself.
Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here but personally I haven't read a review of these machines by anyone with a sixth grade education.
It seems people already have written Lindows off no matter which camp they are from.
The Linux people go "blah! it's not _real_ linux blah! Linux should never be on the desktop, GO SLACKWARE!"
The Windows people go "blah! it's linux too hard no matter what they do... It will never beat XP"
Well. They are both wrong. I've had my fair share of problems with both XP (9x, NT) and a few linux distros. But! I think it is time for linux on the 'top and I think Lindows can grab some of that mindshare. Of course, Suse, Mandrake and Redhat are easy enough for most people to install (debian was easy on my first try which was a long time ago).
Of course - anyone who bitches about having to download apps off the internet (for free might I add) is a moron.
Do you know how many PC downloads there were at download.com alone last year? Most of them shareware at that.
Where can we get a real review. None of this 'I tested it with my 10 year old monitor and not the one which goes with the machine... all computer users MUST have monitors lying around!' crap.
(btw, Wal-Mart carries multisync monitors... even a flat panel KDS for around $300)
I'm sorry but you can't escape the Us vs. Them problem.
Every culture and society has this complex, sometimes against each other in their own group. Smaller nations do have smaller ego's but they can also be dangerous to the nations on top who turn their heads and don't pay attention to the little man who is willing to fight.
China-Mongolia/Communism, Ancient Rome-Huns, Ancient Greece-Romans, Persia-Greeks, Egypt-Hyksos, the list goes on. These nations were powerful beyond their own desires yet they were crushed by a strong few.
Simply. Nations are doing what they are supposed to do. The fundamentalists who flew into the WTC did what they were supposed to do. They are the modern day "barbarians" which are driven by a willingness to fight and that human idea "us vs. them".
There isn't a culture in this world that isn't established on this belief.
Sorry, I didn't design it that way. In order for your culture to thrive you have a enemy, and maybe some friends; but it will always be you vs. them.
You must prove they called you on purpose. The burden of proof is on you. It isn't like you get that second call and viola! you get a check. There is court time involved.
You must also ask to speak with a supervisor. If a non-supervisor talks to you claiming they are a super that is good enough for you - you have no way of knowing. But you have the right to request a supervisors help, and you you must in order to guarantee you will win your case.
While working for the local "Enquirer" newspaper here in "Cincinnati" [hint hint], I learned that when a sales rep takes your number down to be put on the DNC list they can legally just throw them away because sales reps are known to screw up the process. You won't win in court claiming "well John promised me..."
Also some other tips: The caller won't give you their full name. They don't have to because they have the same right to privacy that you enjoy (remember, it's the company that insists on calling you - they just want to get paid).
The FTC has strict rules against cursing on the phone. You can yell at them and say what you want, but they have to show restraint or you can win up to $10,000 dollars, sometimes more.
Lastly: It's bad business to call cell phones - how can you even tell if they want your product;-)
We had special lists which help pager and cell numbers- we ran it across our main lists to remove them. That is the only good thing we did there.
The best thing was when I got an auto-dial number which for some reason just had a local TV station's audio play 24/7. It was great to listen to TV while not doing anything.
First like they say in Crazy People they are closer to the chips.
Actually it's a big question. We are afraid to test the waters and move forward. While we pioneered these technologies Japan will put a semiconductor in anything - at least once.
America is quite like the fall of the Victorian Empire. She has become a nation afraid of progress and if something doesn't change she won't stay towards the top of the heap.
Off-topic, somewhat:
Space could provide a new rain of resources, or it could bankrupt us. But its habitation does offer two other advantages. The first: internation cooperation. No single nation can afford the price of extraterrestial development. To turn the wastelands of asteroids and planets into lands of plenty would involve consortia including Russia, Europe, and Japan. Those partnerships are already under development, though too often we are not involved in them.......... -Howard Bloom, The Lucifer Principle (Chapter:Tennis Time And The Mental Clock)
There is more, that is actually on topic, but I can't find the page now. I don't want to misquote either. Basically we pioneered that technology, invented the PC but the majority of parts aren't even made here - and I don't mean assembly - I mean the companies who own the RAM factories etc.
I would like to maybe see a sourceforge section entirely devoted to win32 Open Source projects.
Like I said, the problem I see with GnuPG is only that the Windows clients will be always a step behind and that won't help.
Yes, we need more developers, but I'm not the person to talk to. I've got a better chance of getting "Hello World" out of C++ than Holyfield has getting his ear out of Tyson's mouth.
I think you've changed my outlook on the situation, and now I DO with that Phil goes with the team. Maybe he can bring the Win32 developers with him.
[[the situation of win32 GPL development as I can see it is that most people who will develop on the platform realize they can charge any amount for any application. When I first tried Linux years ago I realized that you don't have to pay for simple tools that should be free(like i ever did!). Have a problem in Windows, the software to fix it will cost a pretty penny. Quality over Cash...ah, the beauty of linux]]
That being said I tend to think that the push towards GnuPG isn't as great of an idea as some think.
While there is many "free" or open source projects out there that are great on multiple platforms, GnuPG hasn't yet been fully (if at all) accepted by the Windows users.
Before you flame me; encryption needs to be open, and it needs to be easy to use in some respects. If my grandma (or male lover) has to go to the command line to encrypt his/her e-mail - it isn't happening. Now I see one project to bring it to the Windows desktop but it's being developed by linux developers.
If people expect Phil to come over to the GnuPG camp then you have to be ready to develop as much time to the Windows product as *nix.
Maybe I'm just not making sense because I'm typing fast... but simply: Gui, Gui, Gui. Equal time on all systems. Then I'll put my support behind GnuPG.
Otherwise Network Ass. should release their control over a product they raped.
Yeah... but he was the first (not withstanding he was short a few thousand miles).
Your snide comment is silly since it's said everywhere from CNN to/. that it was the FIRST! The only person closer to this, was himself. He beat his old record.
Of course when people are starving you ask what is the benefit, but what have you done lately to compare?
"that God -- with whom he waged a very personal war -- would not let Hardy die with such glory."
That has to be the funniest things I've read, today.
Is it me or does it seem that all "hard" mathematicians are either at war with God or trying to "refute"/"prove"/divide/discover/humiliate him/her/it/Taco?

I get seperate paragraphs (yet mashed together), yet I can paste the data to notepad or this text box and it looks even worse.
I can't post it because of this error:
Your comment has too few characters per line (currently 6.2)

You are on the right track but showing up at kinkos to do this will likely get your face on tape.
To truly be anonymous... find a good open proxy, post it to the web and update your message in your logo pic etc.
Slashdot could be transmitting information to someone with their masthead daily... I say use fortune to give users a cool msg and viola.
What about "Red Carpet"?
I've yet to see anyone mention that. Just trying to point out this isn't the first time.

And I heard if you watch the Lion King with special "bin Ladin" glasses you can see the Twin Towers falling as soon as Simba watches his father die.
Snow White was used to plan the attacks....
Sheesh

I've heard this kind of talk since the early 80's. We keep waiting for it to happen and it doesn't.
But it's really been happening since the 70's. Read the book.
Why is the phrase "Japanese Innovation" nearly an oxymoron?
Innovation is one thing, making money and controlling the markets is important also.
No, i misphrased that .... it was supposed to describe the for-profit-piracy
First things first.
;-)

This is just a preview of things to come.
Wouldn't it be nice if Taco just posted the first reply put it at +5, locked it, and didn't throw his opinion in the mix?
I believe piracy-for-profit is evil.
Trading mp3's or copying millions of albums where no one profits... that it is okay.
Because that is where theft comes into play. That _is_ money that could go to the RIAA's pit-o-cash.
I really hope you're right.

Yes, the first solo... that is what this all about.
Great we sent someone to the moon thirty years ago. But when we go to great depths of the sea we don't go "well... it aint mars".
Leno is dumb, I'm sorry I missed that one, don't be suprised I did.
Still, the point remains no one else has done it... like you, or me.
oops, I think you are right.
This is what I wanted to hear... actually I feel better now.
The problem is that _right now_ it's just kinda weak.
GPL/OSI developers _usually_ put their win32 work on hold that is what scares/bothers me.
I hope though that GnuPG becomes the de facto standard, because free as in speech is a Good Thing.
"The central feature of the facility was a $1.5 million IBM AS400 mainframe..."
Is that street value?
Seriously... when I saw this I thought "COOL!" because I've decided to take the plunge in getting a Network Admin degree.
Imagine the perks.....
Maybe I should say this:
...lol
Pub. Key Encryption should belong to the common man and it shouldn't take any _real_ computer knowledge to be private.
GnuPG lacks this... maybe Phil should just get it back and do it on his own again.
Paypal donations...?
That being said I tend to think that the push towards GnuPG isn't as great of an idea as some think.

Wake up kids...
And don't bother reading the "privacy policy" anymore... sites just do things anyways.
