Ah, you are talking about the subtitled French version of the film.
They pass a movie like Hostel II. They declare the movie is legal. Watching the movie is legal. Advertising the movie is legal. To be very specific, watching a girl being bound and hung upside down naked while someone bathes in her dripping blood is legal.
But saving a clip from the movie and putting it on the Internet would be illegal.

'Ok, Mr. Jones. How do you feel now?' 'I feel wonderful...' 'Do you still feel outraged when you think of our government controlling your life?' 'No, it really doesn't bother me that much.' 'What about this protest meeting you are organizing?' 'Oh, that. I know it should be important, but I really don't feel like going anymore. I think I'll stay home and plant some flowers.' 'Good, Mr. Jones, you may go now.'
> If you are a public figure how much do you think a picture of you being questioned by the police would be worth? To tabloid newspapers? To your opposing candidates in an election? Think these pictures won't be sold because "oh these are ACLU cameras" - think again
Your argument is useless because public figures are ALREADY followed 24x7 by camera crews.
> with a touch of editing, you don't see the criminal attacking the cop, or beating the cop, only the cop defending themselves from the criminal. So the criminal is in the right
After the suspect (not criminal) is in cuffs lying face down in the dirt with the cop standing on his head, the cop should stop beating the suspect (not criminal), no matter what the suspect (not criminal) did before the cop got him under control. Once the cop has total control over the suspect (not criminal) he has no right or need to use force on him. The only reason for a cop to use force is to defend himself or to gain control over a potentially dangerous situation. Once that is achieved anything more is police brutality. I realize after being beat on by a 240 pound crack addict, the cop is in a fighting mood, but that is what they are trained for, to be better than the rest of us in dangerous situations.

Don't let my kids hear that. I open the bunnies' cage and dropped them into the lap of mother nature. "Be free!" I proclaimed, "live with nature!". I explained to my kids that rabbits shouldn't have to live in a cage, it wasn't natural. I also don't have to clean out the damn cage any more.
The next morning the poor things were still sitting in the same spot in the back yard where I left them, idly muching on grass blades.
I have a friend in the pharmaceutical industry that tells me for years the big pharmas have been lobbying, marketing, and pushing to get anything they can classified as a disorder and to broaden the definition of existing disorders. For example autism was once a severe condition, but is now an entire spectrum of disorders ranging all the way down to behaviors that many of us can relate to. They do this to push more drugs to more people. Getting more people diagnosed, getting doctors to classify more people as having disorders, and getting insurance to cover more problems all lead to selling more drugs.
When I was a kid, some kids were rowdy all of the time and all kids were rowdy some of the time. Now they have ADHD and take prescription medicine to pacify them...
Mmmm. It was a joke. The parent was complaining about too many layers of abstraction making a slow cumbersome development environment. So I picked the slowest most cumbersome thing I could find to put on top of Javascript.
If you don't like Javascript, I have the answer for you. You can use this LISP interpreter written in Javascript to write your killer app in the most powerful language of all, LISP.

Microsoft could take some tips from Apple to make their OS more global. First they should declare Windows will no longer on Dells, HPs, eMachines, SONYs, Toshibas and several hundred other vendors. It will only run on Microsoft's branded machines that will have nice features but cost a little more than they used to. That should make it easier to make Windows compatible with as many machines as Apple.
Ah, so I should fill all my drive bays with the cheapest drives I can get and add then all to the RAID-Z array. Then I have maximum expansion ability later on.
Then someone explain this (from the Wikipedia entry):
"It is also possible to expand the array by iteratively swapping each drive in the array with a bigger drive and waiting for ZFS to heal itself"
Does this imply you CAN swap out a drive and replace it with a bigger one in a RAID-Z vdev? If so, that's all I need. I will max out my drive bays with the cheapest drives, add them all to a RAID-Z pool and upgrade them as I need to. If it does NOT imply that, then what are they talking about? How can it heal itself without parity information to rebuild your data?
> Where SAN is needed is if you have many users of the data.
I thought SANs could only be 'mounted' by one user at a time. I was under the impression that as a raw block-device a SAN couldn't arbitrate multiple users at a time. How do they handle that?

Chris Hanson is moving to FOX to host Dateline: To Catch A Hacker.
WTF? This doesn't make any sense at all.

Yeah, programmers are being offered free Chutney and the Mango-Lassies keep flowing.
Some even offer free airfare (one-way) to India.
The good news is you can avoid prosecution based on DNA evidence.
The bad news is you will have two heads, flippers instead of arms, and sneeze bile.
> I bet they rely on two things:
> Most people will only use a fraction of that storage

That would be a pretty bad bet, since ONE movie video breaks both of those bets.

Ok then, it's Duncan Hunter in 2008!
It just occured to me that if that exact message appears on e-voting screens I am going to be spending some time at Abu-Ghraib.
I don't know you, who is this? Prank caller, prank caller!

You are joking (I think), but just imaging if on election day every e-voting display said something like 'THIS ELECTION HAS BEEN HACKED'.
The uproar would cause e-voting to be outlawed for good.
On second thought... maybe almost nobody would notice at all, and the few who noticed it woule think it was an ad for a new movie.

Oh, and
5) Easy to expand pool with larger drives (remove old drive, insert new larger drive, add it and let it rebuild)
Oh, and
4) ZFS is safe without any battery backed up cache. RAID isn't really safe without it.
