Someone could practically give away all of the official records regarding Echelon and nobody would believe the documentation was real. Very effective. I'm impressed.
My opinion is that this interview might as well be real because the interviewee made some rational points about the secrecy of these projects. The planners have to be able to talk about these systems, but that doesn't mean operational details of the systems are being divulged every time the projects are mentioned (even by people who are in a position to speak knowledgeably about such topics).
I want to know if the monthly fee for X-Box Live will allow you to play all of the games hosted on the service (provided you also own the game). If that is the case, then I think MSFT has a winner. I would rather pay one fee per month and be able to play all of my online games than have to pay separate fees for each game.
I imagine there is probably a small fee attached for ever game that you want to play though, otherwise how would the relationship between developers/publishers and MSFT work? It could still be worthwhile if the overall monthly price for two games on X-Box Live is less than the monthly price for two online games for PS2. Obviously.
In sum, the price and the company that comes to market first is going to win this battle and perhaps the console war. This battle is possibly more important than anything seen yet in this competition.
Or just drug the population into complicity. Oh you're not happy all of the time? It's not because we're shoving antiseptic, preprocessed culture down your throat. Have some Prozac, everything will seem much more appealing...
One thing I think about this is that people might then be so concerned with making the black box report favorable results to the insurance company that they no longer pay as much attention to their surroundings.
NOBODY is providing a search engine like Google's, and few people have the ability to replicate it. Napster was expendable because 1) it wasn't even that good 2) everyone knew they would still be able to share files even if napster was gone 3) it wasn't that good
Microsoft did not find (at least some of) these holes. Did you follow any of the links in the original post??? Going to Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-18, we find the following:

Below that you see a list of people and organizations who reported holes.
It strikes me that if the RIAA is so concerned about people stealing from artists they should get their constituents to stop releasing music for a while. That way nobody can steal new releases from the artists. Since the RIAA isn't making money anyway because of all of the stealing it shouldn't be a problem for them...
I think it is important to encourage this sort of action. You might want to not only write senators to discourage them from approving this bill, but also write to let those that dispay a clue that their position is appreciated.
Can't replace a complete brain at once without losing personality and accumulated knowledge/memories. So replace one piece of brain until completely new brain.
I want to get a PS2 just for Twisted Metal Black. I liked the first game, and I *really* liked the second game, but Twisted Metal 3 was terrible. I've heard that the last Twisted Metal was bad as well, but I've heard very good things about this game so I want to try it out.
Space station can be useful for researching living arrangements for a future Mars mission. I suppose Mir was too; this is what we have today though. That's an upside at least.
That was a very good post. I don't have mod points and I wanted to let you know someone appreciated the comment. You distilled all of the major points into a compelling argument.
Why not pollute less? Is it really all or nothing?

The compiler is GNU, yes, but a lot of the utilities found in BSD systems *is* BSD software, not GNU...
I bet the next big thing will be wireless TV with cables...
...until the tide finally turns. Which it will, inevitably.
Uh, time for someone to undercut the proposed license fees with a counter plan involving a cheaper, more reliable alternative?

This article is bizarre. Unfortunately, some people may actually believe it. I don't believe it myself.
CNN.com has been posting stories about how the US Government wants to influence media companies to send these types of messages to us. I wonder if that is what is happening here. This is just so weird.
Time to get web stripper out and download the whole thing before it goes poof.
Congratulations Hemos, you've escpaed the consequences of the REAL SLashdot effect:
Kudos to you.
P.S. I fully agree.

All this tells me is that I should not do business with either MySQL or NuSphere.
Plus you can always open the radio and make it open source!
