and then you as a distro get with a company and just buy a codec pack (How much do you want for us to include your codec pack with our Powerpack version??)
a World Wide law that states (in part) If you advertise X speed or "up to X speed" and "unlimited" then your system must be able to sustain Y% of that speed minimum for Z% of your customers W% of the time minimum.
also no protcol based throttling packet sniffing except in the cases where QOS says "I need this to be fast"
Notes Y Z and W should all be in the upper eighties
"Open-source software often times as very poor support options. Forums and IRC are not substitutes to a dedicated phone support line that's manned 24/7"
And websites with entire sections of documentation and being able to email the developer can't match a dedicated support line manned 24/7 (with actual thinking english speaking persons available for 2 hours on monday and friday at 2:00 am EST if the three we have don't get sick)
What you do is pass a law that states that any device with a nonremoveable battery must include a service that will (for a period of 150% of normal warranty time) AT THE MANUFACTURERS COST replace said battery this service will include
1 insured postage both directions 2 the battery itself 3 the labor to replace said battery
i would as a cookie to the OEMs let them include an "Upgrade by Replacement" program where you get a Factory New upgraded unit for say 50% off (you send in an iPhone V1.2 and get a factory new iPhone V2.01)
That You have "free speech" does not mean you are free from the results of said speech. The text in question in full
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
the problem here is any kind of focused drop in your bandwidth that you paid for gives them the right to drop your bandwidth for any reason at all.
You decide to download Mandriva 2010.1 because Windows8 Sucks but Comcast is now hard blocking any NonApproved Downloads by any means. -- this is what you are allowing
The hard facts are Comcast and any ISP should lose any "safe Harbour" if they decide to block/or "manage" any content on their network past %user paid for X bandwidth (with Y% uptime) therefore you limit them to X bandwidth
Games where you have to string a dozen random actions together half of which are timed actions (oh and the controller has eight miles of slop) that need sub pixel accuracy just to get to the next part.
Folks when you design a game do me 3 things 1 put some logic into the puzzle (how does actions a-j fit together) 2 make more than one solution (example have a switch that reveals a ladder to bypass a climbing puzzle) 3 make it worth it to do the hard way BUT NOT REQUIRED
Design a full background for the world then add in the usual suspects and then let things go (tweak things as needed)
You have a King with a Kingdom and Queen there will be a princess therefore some group with enough evil will make a grab for said princess. You have a town with $rare_resource somebody is going to try to grab it. Add in $epic-class beast (with lair/loot) and you have most of your quest stuff just rolling along.
Programming and balancing this is left as an exercise to the reader
Container problem. by the time the court had acted 1 thousands had been given a "presentations cd" as part of the conference 2 the presentation (and additional details) had been filed in court NOT UNDER SEAL 3 the MTBA had well and truely annoyed a large number of hackers (of various shades)
Anybody here that wants the information and does not have it in great detail does not belong here (heck half of Digg has it info by now)
1 the very first thing to teach kids is that learning is possible 2 teach them how to learn 3 teach them logic (if you have A follow B Floow C Follow D ect then given ABD they should be able to guess that C is missing) and how to handle things when logic goes south 4 teach them respect for others
then continue with the rest of Kindergarten and beyond
Folks forget that "Hackers" include oh say Kevin Mitnick (not a code monkey but always up for a bit of SE) and in the right outfit you could walk into most any business, park yourself in the lobby with an EEE PC with the BackTrack logo on the lid and then hack the place blind. Chances of getting caught??? near nil
Well the problem is not the code having functional comments but code having paperwork stating where it came from (who actually wrote said code)
Why You Inc should care You begin writing programs and then selling them. One of your Core Products is say Manager Mind Reader/Parser (this program can be used to figure out what a manager means from what he is saying and a rather nifty General Manager MindMap. Your developer took the code (and data) from a SF project. You then base 85% of your business on this one product and begin making billions. Time passes the developer leaves (vertically or horizontally) and then you get this funny letter from Morrison & Foerester stating that the original developer is now in the process of suing you for the illegal use of GPL'd code (but the suit will be dropped if you A comply with the GPL version 5 that the GM^3 is licensed under B write a check for a few hundred million oh btw C you need to update to the newest version due to a rather nasty bug)
if this happens YOU ARE DEAD win against MoFo on this kind of slam dunk?? Not happening
Umm don't even breath that kind of thing anywhere near sites like remote-exploit.org
hacking is making the tools and using them as (re)designed
Cracking is misusing said tools
might i suggest that you post directly to the "idiots corner" of the forums on that site if the above information is new to you?? (this would save the mods there the trouble of moving your posts)
the problem with the information age is that we now have virtual world where words can virtually kill you and we also have the problem where a "dogpile" can do some "real" damage (see slashdot effect)
i would like to see corps get tagged under RICO and other anti-mafia laws (you setup a server to even semi automatically DOS someone you should get a full scale NO_KNOCK warrant served on your DC and your systems pulled)
The extreme example is of course a DC in the WTC but "our power room went BOOM" is a good nth level version ( on or about 09/16/2001)

tell them that they will be getting a letter from Christopher M. Forrester if they do not process your cancellation NOW. (couldn't find a Morrison listed but they should recognize the name)
(bonus points if you actually could get him to write that letter)
What J&J should have done is offer to make the overlapping products and then cut ARC in on the profits (and or given a few truckloads of said products to the ARC)
Note to the Corps DO NOT SUE OVER WHAT YOU DO NOT OWN

and how many folks around are not grabbing a dump of the current wiki.de as a just in case measure??

DOD trumps TOS
or
Cruise Missle hitting the server(s) makes problem go buh bye
well lets see if you assume that
A a nonlethal round would be used
B the gun would not be fired at all
then only 1 of those is even worth thinking of running with
a World Wide law that states (in part)
If you advertise X speed or "up to X speed" and "unlimited" then your system must be able to sustain
Y% of that speed minimum for Z% of your customers W% of the time minimum.

and loose 20% of the geek points for reading a "dead tree" copy
heck this is the reason the Secret Service should have a field office in the same building as the EFF for the

Umm folks Zero velocity at the same time as Zero (relative) Altitude is not all that hard
(doing that and being able to use the same airframe again is a bit harder)

more importantly if somebody did try to sneak spyware into the FF codebase
1 it would be found removed and the public warned
2 the person responsible would be found and then never found again (in any recognizable form)
please note Firefox has in its user base folks than can and will hunt folks down (just read some of the comments
in say the remote-exploit.org forums)
Well the problem is not the code having functional comments but code having paperwork stating where it came from
