No, because Barcodes do not identify the individual item. Barcodes cannot be remotely scanned without the owner noticing. Barcodes are usually on the packaging material and not on the product.
Yepp, and scanners and transmitters. How long will it be before we all can scan each other, steal the RFID code and do some serious RFID spoofing? The possibilities are endless:)
The RIAA or defendant can always subpoena the logs from the IP provider (assuming they kept any) that should settle a lot of things. If the RIAA has logs they have to turn them over to the defense as per the Rules of Evidence.
The ISP logs doesn't prove a thing. Either it only shows the data volume passed to/from the user or the logs are more detailed and show sessions and IP addresses and ports. Even with detailed logs the only thing you can show is that xMb was passed from IP1:port1 to IP2:port2.
Reasonably the prosecutor need to show that Edwin_Starr_-_War.mp3 was copied at a specific time/date and that the file really is what the filename implies (and that the original is copyrighted).
Torrents could be distributed in the swarms too. Possibly according to user preferences if the swarm has many torrents/many types of data. Could get really nice. We do need a python version though..

Thats a really nice tv-serie. I live in Sweden and they have only broadcsted s1, so i had to get s2 myself (i was late so it was damn hard..). Now i try to keep up with s3..
Filter at the client works for SPF since it does its check before the mail is received (after Mail From:, before Data). Microsoft CallerID has the problem you describe, MS also codes its DNS info in XML which makes it so big that it requires a TCP session.

Well, duel boot, that is something I would like to run. Just install windows and a few linux/BSD dists, turn on the machine and leave it over night. Then we finally could settle this thing.

Ps My bet is on that spiky fish eventhough that little red bastard with the fork might be nasty. I mean, how hard can it be to beat a geek from redmond or a penguin? Hmm, could be a whole army of penguins of course, well that might get tricky.
U can use the VESA driver to run OBSD on a Geforce2Go. Works nice even if you don't get all the fancy stuff. Probably will take a while to port to OBSD, if ever, since FBSD has a different licensing scheme.
There is a problem if the first 90% of the song is ok and the rest is corrupt. What about this: When you request a file it is split into 5-10 parts which can be downloaded in random order selected by the _client_. Each part has a corresponding hash stored in the equiv of CDDB. This way you can cancel download when a 'block' with the wrong checksum is dl'ed. The 'block' hashes would probably have to be stored indexed under a hash of the complete file which has to be provided by the server side. This again makes it necessary for user moderation. Would be a cool protocol..
Yes. Distributed networks without central servers is the way to go. A protocol for fingerprinting of all files and user moderation would be really neat. Might be pretty hard to implement though as we can't trust client side software to calculate the fingerprint. Especiallay as we want to check the file before it is downloaded. Signing might be the way to go but then you can tie the rip to the 'creator', don't want that...
Anyway, these things tend to get solved by smart people who have way to much spare time. I am truly amazed of the amount of work dedicated to cracking and warez..
Right. But do you really need everything that a SUV can do or is a Fiat good enugh? (This is a bad comparison since Fiats not are good enough, period. But there are lots of others.) Fuel efficiency must become a top priorty in order get emissions down, its time that both Washington and Detroit figures that out.
> In my opinion the chance of a very small laser beam being hit by a rain drop are very small.
Well, around where i live it's not uncommon that it rains enough that i can't see stuff a mile a way. What is the odds that a laser would traverse the same distance unchanged...
Success will depend on where this technology is deployed. Examples of showstoppers:
- Heavy rain
- Fog
- Snow
- Heat radiation (distortion)
Performance will of course be better over short distances. I wouldn't want my connection depend on the weather, but then Sweden might not be the ideal place to try it...

> How do oyu microwave your brand new microwave?
Simple, buy a new micro that fits inside your old one.
> Will the DVD you just bought be playable or writable?
I doubt that the micro can do either.

A newspaper from - and for the radikal / autonomous left
oh yeah, but the cell phones/infrastructure is way ahead in the Japanese(as in sushi) market. You can't get those neat phones in Finland..
