an IP address doesn't neccessarily equate to a person. Companies can have thousands of IPs and google can't tell if its just one entity or 3000. I would predict that if this goes into effect the gator advertising thing thats bundled with just about any free download these days will be modified to rank up pages of those who pay them the most.
the Asus is a quality product, I can say that much. But the fingerprint security system you speak of just provides a false sense of security, anyone can just take your HD outta the box and plug it in elsewhere.
why would they need permission? At least they haven't made it illegal to break teh encryption. I never had a problem with the DVD folks using CSS, it was just the "cracking it is illegal" part that bugged me
I'd love to not list my SSN on my SAT but I don't think "FrostyWheaton told me so" is gonna be a valid excuse. Do you have any links to back up what you say?

Nice logic there hotshot. You say that mario kart for n64 was extremely innovative even though it is basically the same thing as the snes version (except it can use 4 controllers! wow innovation
! If 20 people could play in a new mario kart for the GC time would you conclude that it is 5 times more innovative as the N64 version? You also claim it is innovative because the N64 version has depth. Apparently you don't understand what depth should mean in this sense. If depth is going to make a game innovative it is NOT going to be in a 3d sense(wow you can drive your "kart" under a bridge) but rather in a game experience sense. Lets now move away from mario kart and onto starfox. Play the first level of the snes version of starfox, then play the first level of the n64 version. VERY LITTLE CHANGE!!!(pardon my japanese) The only addition is multiplayer and the 2 levels included are small and certainly not interactive or anything innovative. Multi basically consists of playing paper sissors rock: is your opponent going to do a flip or a half flip 180? Opps you guessed wrong: BOMB!(pardon my japanese).
They are all posted by anonymous cowards therefore they start with a score of zero. Please read the faq. None of them have been modded down, they just haven't been modded UP.
is obviously to run MAME, snes9x, etc. with PS2 controllers. You would have some real bragging rights to have all the old arcade games ever made, all the nes games, all the snes games, etc. etc. etc. all on your ps2.
"Why should CDDB be any different?" The problem is it IS different. CC# companies don't claim to OWN your personal information, they just have it. CDDB was trying to sue Roxio for using an alternative. Trust me, if you use an alternate database of email addresses in order to spam someone, the people who own a large database are not going to sue you just because a few of the email addresses you ended up using appear in their database.
HAHA yes pk him.. this is everquest we are talking about here, conflict is against the, no joke, "play nice policy". If you are rude to the man, if you argue with him, if you even look at him funny you will be banned no questions asked.

Uhh I don't think there would be any exotic hardware if they all followed rigid standards.
Your subject is "This is bad?" WHERE THE FUCK IN THE POST DID ANYONE SAY IT WAS A BAD THING? Sorry but that really pisses me off that you assume that because the post said "now a large chunk of the class is facing possible expulsion for plagiarism" it means they are wrongly accused. If anything this news post was commending the professor.
What an informative post! Thanks for backing up everythign you said with a textual description of what this tax is called etc, and thanks for providing links to information about this tax. I am so glad you didn't just say "WOW WE HAVE THIS TAX TOO THOUGH NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT ME AND I WON'T TELL YOU THE NAME OF IT!!!11"
You are missing the real stupidity of Cmdr Taco's quote:
I tend to think that some points are over beaten (lack of binaries for example. So what? Anyone can compile and distribute their own).
The only thing the article talked about as far as lack of binaries was that the latest source was not released UNTIL the binaries also are, meaning you can't get up to date CVS code, basically the way that they release their product is less "open" new features can't be played with(in code) until they are officially released.

What if you simply send out the actual FBI trojan to tons of people?
Now anyone can craft their virii to look like the FBI's brood and avoid detection alltogether.
Fabulous, I hope everyone feels safer already.

I believe there is an even more restrictive reader already for the mac, created by Adobe(think dmitry)

While I agree Mhz isn't everything in a processor amd is still using these model numbers to be in line with Intel mhz, very confusing for customers.
You are indeed correct, you probaly read about it in The Hacker Crack Down.
