Where did this come from? Just suddenly make up an extension to euclidean geometry? If b is the distance to the nebula, then a must be the width of the phenomenon on the nebula, which the story claims to be ~.3m.
let c = b + delta (assuming delta=.3m) This is just WRONG! where did you get this?
The article was about how precisely astronomers were able to measure b and c (they are very close), and thus determined that a (not some mystical term 'delta') = ~.3m.
They have a technique to write data (keys) to a CD in a way that a standard read can read ONLY by using low-level access. Odds are that they have a patented method of writing these sectors and no current CD burners are physically capable of doing so, even with low-level control.
The files that are copied to your drive during install, are encrypted and require a key off the CD to run. The same key is probably not used repeatedly, if ever (think 'key-date hash'). Additionally, keys can be recursively enrcypted, key-lengths and recursion depths can both be arbitrary, spoofed keys (or worse, think 'crashers') in predictable locations (which is *bad* if recursion-depth is arbitrary)
So they can tie program usage to possession of the original physical PURCHASED CD. What programs require the CD to run nowadays? Games. Think of the market if that is all they can protect. (It isn't)
Even if the unencrypted, hacked program gets out, the Time-to-Kazaa will be so big, they still win!
This is the end.

This law is not a danger to us. It will NEVER pass and even if it does, it's unconstitutional.
Here's why... The bill efectively eliminates the 'public domain'. Under this bill, all player would be required to not only have copy protection, but the media they are playing must BE protected. So unencrypted content is unplayable.
Now, congress could ONLY get around this by mandating a special 'public' encryption method, but that opens a door for hackers to strip a private CP method off and replace it with the public one and viola!... Publiclly playable (and tradeable) MP3's again.
If they don't do the public CP thing, then the 'public domain' dies. And the courts won't allow that, since the constitution is quite clear that un-copyrighted works must pass to the public domain. (In fact, the constitution specifically uses the words 'public domain')
We should be wondering why they would put forth a bill that most likely won't pass, and will CERTAINLY be struck down by the courts. I believe it is just a gimmic to pressure the computer industry into accepting/creating/using Copy Protection. But everyone, be creative here... think of alternatve reasons why they would put this forward. What ELSE do they have to gain by this? Because the obvious answer is NOT the correct one.
If that happens, it happens. In not afraid of it. It will be the END of Islam if it happens.
They and you, simply do not understand the depths of our wrath if they do this. THEY WILL ALL DIE.
If they put it to us like that, then they are saying it's us or you. We will agree and choose us. You have no idea how powerful we are. They will think Allah himself has come to them, and indeed they will be correct.
This is Bullshit. This is exactly what happened in Europe just before WWII. Europeean governments kept drawing a line and telling Hitler not to cross it, which he then did. Then they drew another. and he crossed that.
Capitulating to terror only invites more.
I think we need proof that Afghanistan helped Bin Laden, but if we get it, our response should be absolutely brutal. Bottle them in with ground troops, and bomb them until they surrender unconditionally.
You can do this, even in a gurella war. They gotta come out sometime to grow crops if nothing else. No fields = no food. Eventually their stomachs will convince them that fighting is not a good idea against this adversary.
Once they surrender, require each and every member of this forsaken nation to swear publically that they have been misled by evil leaders using a false religion. By that I mean this extremist form of Islam, not Islam in general.
Then we should keep military control of the nation for 15 years and rebuild them like we did Japan.
You CAN break this cycle only by making their people understand tht their life CAN get much worse, no matter how bad it is now. Make the people responsible for maintaining their own government. Make them accountable for their own fate.
I don't WANT innocent people to die, but in war they do. How many civillians died in WWII? How many died intentionally? We firebombed residential areas in Berlin and Tokyo in WWII. It worked. We abhor that in peace, but in war America fights cruelly. Thats because we, as an educated, free society understand that you sometimes HAVE to do things you don't like if you intend to survive. Do you have kids? If so do you ENJOY spanking them? No, you HATE having to do it, but you know that if you don't your child will not learn right from wrong.
Maybe Afghanistan didn't do this. If so, we should leave them alone, but whatever nation did help them (and there is evidence that some did help) should learn the hard way not to do that.
If we have to fight WWIII to keep our cities safe and our people from being hijacked and kamikazed into our buildings.... Then so be it, but it WILL be fought 'over there'
Hell ya! Players now are so rude and immature.
Do you remember Q1 times? You could actually get i games with the top player in the world! I played games against Kornelia when I was in school in the early 90's. That never happens now, good players flee to private servers.
If above.net is not subject to the First Amedment, then they ARE subject to discrimination laws. So they still can't "firewall anyone and everyone they choose to firewall for any reason whatsoever."
They can't drop packets based on characteristics like religion, sex, disability, or any other 'protected' group.
That said... 'Spammers' is most certainly NOT a protected group and Macromedia does not seem to fit in any other protected group. So, Macromedia must either ask Congress to protect 'spammers', or convince a court to overturn their inclusion into the blacklist. Until then above.net can do whatever it wants.
The fact that Napster incorporated is very very helpful in this case. Napsters creators are now protected by the 'coporate veil' so while Napster (the company) can be attacked and destroyed, Shawn Fanning (et al) cannot be held liable at all. Ever.
This is total bullshit though. Since corporate employees should be held liable for their own actions, even those done 'in the name of' the company. Do you think we'd have all this pollution and whatnot being pulled over on us if the people both giving the orders and those following the order could both be held liable? NO, the employees would refuse and if fired, blow the whistle.
So it's good to see a bit of the corporate bullshit being shoved down their throats now.;)

Because that is blatant vigleanteism. You just DON'T deputize the offended party and allow them to serve justice.
