Each day, make a realistic list of priority tasks, goals, etc. Do the same for weekly and monthly. Revise as needed. It really is that simple. If you don't meet your own requirements more than not, you can consider yourself lazy and a personal failure. I don't like thinking of myself as lazy or a failure, so I spend at least 90% of my "work" time actually working and crossing things off my list.

I prefer Evernote, but anything similar, including a pad of paper will work. When I'm having a hard time focusing, keeping the list visible, be it on another monitor, tablet, phone, etc, helps immensely.
Get a warrant, intercept them realtime. Next they'll want recordings of conversations to be saved for X years.

Newzbin2 Closes For Good
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Let someone else take over where they're now leaving off, just like they did for newzbin1.
Fascinating idea. I can see it being a very real possibility if drm'd music finally dies and digital distribution is fully embraced. As an amateur producer and dj, this would be absolutely amazing.
I'm unsure what exactly gets sent with an in-app purchase, but I'd assume it has something to do with your App Store account.
Can anyone tell me why I keep getting multiple errors when trust( "RussianHacker"); is called?
I thought the reason Blue Security closed shop was because the spammers had diff'd their user database, identified quite a large amount of the participants, and then threatened virus attacks directed at them. Not because of the DDoS.
Blue Security Gives up the Fight The spammer also sent another message: Cease operations or Blue Security customers will soon find themselves targeted with virus-filled attacks. ... "It's clear to us that [quitting] would be the only thing to prevent a full-scale cyber-war that we just don't have the authority to start," Reshef said. "Our users never signed up for this kind of thing."
I'm guessing the only real difference is that users will know this time around.
FTA: Participants will send reports of spam emails to Okopipi, which will use "handlers", including dedicated servers, to analyse it. To avoid suffering the same fate as Blue Security, Okopipi's staff will not disclose information about its servers.
Sounds like the same idea as Blue Security, only they're hiding. Probably will result in the same outcome. Massive DDoS on their "hidden" servers.
Xbox live charges a fee. Arena.net does not, and focuses on providing new content to generate income. Xbox is also designed to play a game on a disc, Arena.net's Guild Wars has contantly updated content, ie. the new content from Factions is already located on most people who play GW's hard drive. It just needs to be unlocked by purchasing a key when it's released. The store bought disc model is rapidly fading in the MMOG world. Xbox thrives on this "old" model, and is designed with it in mind.
If it's not a remix, Moby's new tracks fucking suck. Give me any mix of Go, Voodoo Child, Next is the E, or I Feel It over the songs on Play. I wish they hadn't provided Moby to the masses, because every time I turn on CNN, I hear some shitty Moby track on a commercial. I love my "underground" music, seems like when I find something good, it gets watered down years later, hyped as underground (thus cool), and the cattle go into a frenzy. While they've started killing trance, I don't see them getting to Happy (or normal) Hardcore any time soon though. Thank GOD.
"Nobody has voted on whether he or she wants to live in a world with only healthy, cheerful, smart and attractive inhabitants."
It's all relative, there will always be those that exhibit more intelligence, be healthier, etc, than others. If it means a general bettering of the human race, I'm all for it it. As for people always being cheerful, it'll take more than genetic selection or alteration to do that.
Mozilla has a little cookie manager that lets you see every site that has set a cookie. It allows you the option of removing and not reaccepting any future cookies from removed sites. I really do love this feature, and it made my day when I found it.
Now doubleclick, and a slew of others, aren't able to set cookies on my machines. This really is the only thing you can do. If you visit a site, they have every right to record your having been there, and it will never change (and it shouldn't).
A lot of people think that what I do is wrong, and maybe it is. I'll give you look at my justifications. Just keep an open mind about it. Don't start off thinking I'm out to steal from the artists.
I have what I consider to be a large collection of mp3s, yet I still buy hard copies from places like cdnow. Confused? It's sorta like this, if I happen to download a superb album, I'll buy it to support the artist, even if it's a $30 import. That's right, $30. That's how much the average album costs me. Although I think that this is more than just a little outragous, there's nothing I can do but pay through the nose to support the music I like, which is techno and industrial. Considering this, I'm going to make damn sure that I really like the artist before I cough up that much for a 7 track CD. And don't get me started on how much the artist actually make of that money, because it's probably less than a single US dollar. But once again, nothing I can do. If I could steal from just the label, 9 of 10 times I would, just out of spite. I'm sick and tired of getting fscked over by some greedy exec. The reason that they're fighting this revolution is because if the people get electronic distribution, they won't want to pay nearly as much as they pay for a CD. Record labels and stores won't be able to continue the massive markups, and the extra fee I have to pay for an import will be zilch. It really does piss me off. The other day I bought a single for $24, and while I love the music, does it seem right to pay that much for 3 songs? The only reason I did, was because I love the music that the artists created, and I feel I have an obligation to them.
However, there will always be piracy, and regardless of anything that anyone might do, it will happen. How many times have you asked a friend or coworker to make a cassette tape copy of an album they bought? And now with the easy availibility of cd recorders, who hasn't ran off a copy of that new cd your friend brought over? The artists that create loyal fans, rather than suing them like *some* bands, will always have a steady flow of royalties.
If you still think that I'm a greedy little pirate out to ruin The World As We Know It, then I guess you've already made up your mind and aren't willing to see the truth. It may just be a justification for my theft, which I've considered, I don't see it like that. I download music because I *love* it. Since I don't want to see the artists that make it have to find another line of work because noone buys their music anymore, I support them. Perhaps if my local radio stations played music I liked, I'd feel different. But the facts are that they don't, and I can't remember the last time I listened to the radio and heard a song I liked.
Give it some thought. Intense hatred for the members of the RIAA aside, I just want to know what I'm getting before I give away my hard earned cash. If you have a better way for me to preview songs, let me know, I'm always open to suggestion.
Levy isn't on any side, unless you count security as a side. Being a long-time subscriber to bugtraq, I can tell you that it doesn't matter to him whether it's closed, open, or slightly ajar, as long as it's secure.

...and if you don't like the way Ubuntu does things, you can GTFO.
Like every other Linux distro, major and minor project, including the kernel?
Issuing a press release to prove a point is "bad" now?
Get a warrant, intercept them realtime. Next they'll want recordings of conversations to be saved for X years. If a judge thinks a person is worth surveillance, then fine, but my past communications shouldn't be archived "just in case I'm a criminal".
Let someone else take over where they're now leaving off, just like they did for newzbin1.
Then allow them to chip your children and stay away from mine.
Except the conditions on removing the chip required endorsement and giving up the right to criticize the tracking program.
I've recently felt the urge in some circumstances to reach up from the keyboard to swipe or pinch the display while using my laptop and desktop.
I only get the urge to "swipe" a desktop/laptop screen when using Windows.
Fascinating idea. I can see it being a very real possibility if drm'd music finally dies and digital distribution is fully embraced. As an amateur producer and dj, this would be absolutely amazing.

but ALL of the people I know use MSN
Trillian (pro) is a lot nicer than the MSN client.

To our knowledge, you cannot turn off auto-aim in Halo 2.
In the PC gaming world, we call this cheating. In the Xbox world, it's a feature. Go figure.
Looks like this has popped up on a couple sites
Yeah, it's very slick. They'll be distributing their new standalone expansion this way as well.
