In my little country (The Netherlands) we have an "expectation of privacy" on email and telephone calls at work. You can scan email, in a bulk fashion, but you can most definately NOT read peoples email, or listen in on conversations, without -explicit- notifications to the employees.
So yeah, the bits are belong to the Boss, but he cannot read it. Well, in my -not yet up to full speed- patriotic anti-terrorism freedom loving country that is. Dont worry, it'll get fixed.
It is not very convenient, but if you choose to "Consolidate Library" or something from the menu, it WILL just copy all the files from the pod to the computer, well at least in my case.
So I load a file in my ipod, on my laptop f.e. Hook the pod to my main machine at home, "consolidate library" (or something to that effect out of the menu of iTUnes, which I use as a good interface for playing music, I dont buy crippled AAC) and presto, the new files are now on my desktop.
My iPod is filled with my own ripped MP3's, and copy fine back and forth using iTunes (the program)
What is disallowed, and is now possible due to this plugin, is iTunes (the store) downloaded AAC music onto your iPod WHICH HAS DRM, was disallowed off.
Big news: DRM places restrictions on you. Winamp helps. Film at 11.
"Bosons are also the only particles which can occupy the same state as another."
Ok this is cool shit. This means that bosons fall throught the table. Literally. Do not put a boson in your pocket, you will loose it! The practical uses for it are stunning! Keys your are garanteed to loose!
Because mailing appointments and invites and auto arranging meetings is Very Handy for largish workgroups. As in, cost saving for planning and secretary work.
Please gimme it in firefox with thunderbird connected to a choice of webservers, a choice of Db's and I'll be rolling this out pronto. Heck, I could start a business around it.
first it was music, we had to rip and share, because there were no legal sellers on this perfect distribution medium. STILL noone except Apple has made a real efford going there, but its coming, perhaps too little too late.
then it was movies, we had to rip and share, because Broadband made it easy, and STILL noone in the movie business has taken up the Big Fat Gaping hole in their distribution market. Thats easy, if as the content provider you ALSO control distribution. But we the customers still get fsckecked.
now its TV shows, we have to rip and share, because, again, the internet is largely not used as a distribution or supporting medium for TV shows.
When Will They Learn? Thick (or extremely greedy) bastards.
Look, it is not a matter of putting faith into anything. Unless you want to characerize the "unknown" as something you have "faith in". But I fail to see how one can have faith in not knowing.
Look, perhaps things did not sponteniously start, but there exists scientists who think perhaps before the Big Bang, there was actually nothing. It really does not matter. If we want to test people's theories over the answer on the eternal question "What was before the universe?" there are roughly three answers: - Some devine religious Creator diddit. (Not exlaining the religious Creator) - Some esoteric mathematical function only 2 people and a idiot-savant understand may have gotten our matter from elsewhere. (Not explaining elsewhere) - We have no friggin clue.
Admitting you have no clue, does not put "faith" into a mysterious something.
"The principles have to hold independent of the emotional circumstances and the players of the game."
Spoke the high morale philosofer. Back in the real world, we behave, and make laws accordingly, that are big fat principle breakers, for perfectly valid practical reasons.
We can fly a flag. We cannot fly the Nazi flag. Beng. Principle violation.
We can speak. We cannot speak hate propaganda. Beng. Murder bad, war good. Beng beng.
The principles dont differ, the practical consequenses differ. From some flag we yell and screech. From some plane crash we war. From some hate propaganda we revolutionize.
People do the same on every level, we find 10 bucks, we keep it, we find 100 bucks, we go to the police.
We will see who is right; if BK goes bankrupt, it was Linus.
Ok, I believe in anarchism. You know, the thingie where people dont hold power over other people, and agreements are always between people, and the society is RUN by social contracts. Not the bomb-throwing nutters hollywood likes you to believe is anarchism mind you, but the real thing. A contract, or so it seems in my not unlimited engish vocubalary, is per definition an agreement.
Where did I agree to obnoxious pop ups? Where did I sign not to use adblock?
I have a hard time understanding the -Law- is mandatory, hell I didnt sign for it.
Look, I ALL for ISP's disconnecting "polluting" PC's. They just better make damn sure its not legit traffic.
My ISP does exactly this, if it suspects trojan traffic it shuts you down (and snail mail you). You subsequently call the helpdesk, they ask what you did to resolve the matters (The ISP provides FREE anti-virus and firewall software). If they rae happy with your counter measures, theyll reconnect you in a jiffy. If you can explain you have a legit reason to hit DNS 9765 times per second, I suspect they'll unlock you too.
You all DO realize, the EU members are doing this because YOU MADE US do this?
Frigging hell, -my- governement (Dutch) has now mandatory ID, biometrics is planned for the next Passport version.
It is all done in name of "traveling to the US otherwise requires VISA and thats a bummer" and "Terrorism, you know", but in the meantimne it has been used against me for having my dog walk on grass without a leach, and to snap me up crossing the border INTO The Netherlands for a passport check, we supposedly do not have (Schengen Accord).
Linus Jessep: You cant handle the truth! We live in a world with walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? [..] I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!

PC's are way better to cheat on (and mod for).
PC's are fundementally better suited for AI.
PC's (graphic cards) ALSO get sponsored by games.
Sorry for the late reply.

After all,

Thats because its bullsjit.

the mpaa... they might learn something from this totally newfangled e-idea of a bussiness model based on TV over the Intarwebby.

I wish I was not. That would explain why 30% of all email is Sober at the moment. As it is now, booze is not to blame.

I wonder, will I get drunk when opening it on my Windows 2003 Terminal Server?
If so, I might be inclined.
