It is not my intention to troll here, but an automated machine is pretty much the definition of a robot. Adding an automated thinking emulation to it still leaves it as a automated machine, it just has some advanced automation inside of it.
hmm do you have any kind of material on the hand which shows why exactly GMO products are so evil ?
i mean sure, they're not fighting along the usual natural selection stuff, but neither are humans. i would be much more affraid of non-gmo products that are being overpoisoned to keep insects off and over fertilized to compete in the market. they turn out to be slightly poisonous:D

over the 2 years the animal hasn't even been ill once. maybe it's more up to the friendly environment for the animal and not for some absurd gene science ? i mean you can't predict illnesses that haven't evolved yet and therefor this type of mutating effect will never be completely and ultimately fixing.
If someone has the tools to hack on your connection, gmail is one of the least of your concerns.
People that have access and sufficinet skill and the motivation, find much more profitable ways to exploit their power than to read your ultimately important personal data from gmail. I find it interesting that people have such an ego boost that they imagine that from the half a billion interactive net users, they and their pocket money are the targets of all the hackers. Net thieves prefer companies and computer unaware rich dummies as their targets. On a regular unprotected windows box which is full of keyloggers and malware, gmail encryption or unencryption won't save anyone, that's why it's targeted by worms all the time.
Honestly, if you have information that is worth to keep private, you can own your own server for it, for anything less the hackers won't even bother. Catch one big fish and get the f out of the hacking business, this is the motto for the people that know what they are doing. Small fishes that get money more easily from "please enter your paypal password here foo bar".
Ps. if you are familiar with how SSL or any exchangeable keypair based encryption protocols work, you should realize that people who have constant access to your network traffic, will find out your information anyway. They just have to be right on spot when the keys are being exchanged. If they can fake your packets at the same time too (obviously you don't need to be genius to do that) the agony gets even deeper (with smalltime ISP-s, i wouldn't rise my eyebrows if that'd be the case).
Security on the net is a bliss and illusion by the standards and tools that we use today. Ofcourse you should do your best to keep smalltime hackers off your back, but try to put a limit on your paranoias.
I use gmail, but all important stuff i keep somewhere closer to me.
All-in-all, enjoy your life as it is today, you may not have it all tomorrow.
sure you lose quality when you turn it into the mp3, but that's the price that you'd have to pay unless you go for flac or wav/pcm files.
i was just pointing out the obvious that DRM is a waste of time, it will never ever protect anything from another human being, no matter how badly/well through thought it is.
i mean, it doesn't take an einstein to connect your speakers out channel to line in channel and set the computer to record the wav or even for better quality, run this thing in wine/qemu/vmware and catch/dev/dsp to something else.
a) microsoft has access to it's own code, they know where stuff can lurk around b) they can make it more difficult for the opponents on vista c) making up a ballmer story and posting it on slashdot and other news channels is a great free commercial
basic was a great starting point 16 years ago. and i don't seem to be ruined by it. sure integration into pascal was an effort, but the move from there onwards was just a drive on a highway. right now i can write c, python, java, perl, php and am a novice in c++ and ruby. i've laid my hands on anything from writing cd's over raw atapi commands up to gui libraries and annoying javascript.
anyone claiming that basic ruins just about anyone out there, doesn't have any kind of proof to back it up.
lamp is a whole different issue, lamp as a platform is pretty ok for short termed solutions, the only bad thing about is that the fellow users and examples on the web encourage bad coding style. but this is the fault of the community's lazyness and not a fault of the platform. very bad code can be written in java and python as well, but there's nobody goofing on that front that loud.
lately however php and mysql both have gotten into the intrigues of backward incompatibility, which is not good for the whole image of the platform. that's why i'm looking more forward into python and ruby, at least they are not breaking the oop model out of the blue, and at the same time they encourage a nice oop model.
This is the most "unfunny" news of the day. i think redhat hates communities and online lists. they also hate the fact that things should be kept simple.
Imagine now the fun on support lists and forums :
H4x0R_A: I just installed FC5 and nothing works Package_Owner: what the hell are you talking about, fc5 had a working version... H4x0R_A: It doesn't work, i made a fresh install Package_Owner: are you _sure_ that you haven't made any upgrades ? H4xOR_A: Yes Package_Owner: Read From The Label CD That You Installed H4xOR_A: FC5 Respin something Package_Owner takes out the gun, fires the shot. - Yes it worked in FC5, no it doesn't work in FC5 Respin. Or vice versa. Either way, we have 2 different fc5-s out there.
And this will be everywhere, since the newbs will not be aware of respin or not respin, and we'll have a nice bunch of confusion all over the place:D Sure for experts and even medium level linux users the picture will be quite clears. But they're not the majority that's writing in the lists. The majority is the people who have no idea that the Respin flag may make a huge difference.
And ofcourse they will try to add `update hacks` of the original fc5 to their system and mock up stuff that didn't neet updating or repairing in the first place (a lot of people just follow wiki's, they don't even realize what they are doing).
I'll continue with playing around with happily my dapper, i hope with fc6 redhat realizes that fc6.1 would be better than "respin".
Now you can troll or flamebait or whatever my post if you want to, but even the evil moderators know that deep down, i'm right on this one and that FC team made a mistake (well yes, shit happens, why not today...)
anyway, i think apple got affraid of that alien bacteria stuff that we had an article around a few days back, even the in soviet russia they haven't found a cure against it... maybe it started to affect apples ?:p
ok, reality just shows out that it wasn't worth the money, they were not saving, they were spending and that's against the whole idea of going in there...
people would just mark down that the software can contain bugs. make some juridic foo-bar around it , write it into the license that you buy.
flagship of designers, photoshop has bugs. do you really think people would stop buying it if they label it with "can contain unexpected bugs, we're not liable" ? no they wouldn't. same goes for smaller and bigger software, if there is no better alternative, people use what they get.
nice idea, but for another planet with other beings. or maybe india:p
* yes he is working on a commercial fork of bittorrent * people will still rip the drm stuff and recode it and share * `normal` bittorrent clients aren't going anywhere, they stay in use * assuming that most bittorrent clients obviously have to be incompatible with it to drm the data (current bittorrent network model literally allows anyone to hook in if they have some base information, connecting clients are not verified over the master node) * as a result of the upper, it will never be as popular as bt original
my conclusion: bittorrent author is pulling warner from the finger and the latter one is naive and dumb enough to let it through.
but seeing your comment just ensured to me that there are still naive people out there to pull...
any sort of media that can bee seen and/or heard can be ripped, you just have to use the correct tools. and there will always be the way to share it as long as there is a need for it.
even if original bt will die, a new underground tool will surface, probably closed source and packet faking & encryption, so you couldn't tell it from http or some other ultra popular protocol (smtp, ftp, msn - many to choose from).
imho the music/movie producers should : 1) increase quality of final product, so a cheap rip wouldn't be worth downloading 2) lower their own costs to make stuff cheaper, majority will find it easier to buy than to `steal`
but right now they: 1) ruin the experience with incomatible rootkiting drm 2) increase their own costs while developing a hopeless drm scheme
openoffice has pdf export - no money - no lawsuit.
we have programmale format objects for xml in several programming languages which can make pdf's with xml/xslt but again - no money - no lawsuit.
kde can print into pdf (i think it may use ps2pdf internally) but no money here neither so no lawsuit.
this is the very same reason why bittorrent's author is not in the court of law yet neither. he doesn't make a penny from the file sharing going on here, so he won't be sued. but the site runners that make money from banners, they get a highway to their lawyers, cause they have $$$.
it's 2006, nobody sues for justice, it's just about the money.
hmm, my home duron with the arctic cooling sound is quieter than any intel machine in the office:)
and my turion notebook only spins up the vents when i go for 100%cpu and gpu power, opengl usually.
so i totally missed your point.......
however, i'd love to see a 4x4 turion box. turion x2 has a 31-35W power figure, 2 of these can couple up lot's of processing power for 70W. unless intel will make anything competitive to this, i guess that could be my next platform.

maybe some modifications to the line, but it should work:D ofcourse you could also take the input from/dev/random, but that could result a working windows installation... with odds one against some zillion billion dillion.
as for why not to use encrpytion: unless seagate has implemented it without a significant overhead, the reason for me would be performance. i didn't buy my laptop to have another sloppy lagging slow computer on my lap or desk.
amd wants ati's mobile chipsets, if anything at all.
amd sees a strong perspective in the mobile market and that's where ati rocks right now with their new chipsets and integrated or dedicated graphics chips.
if amd really is planning this move, then there's far more to it than "oh ati makes great graphic cards" or "let's now bash intel with it". it's a multi billion dollar business and nobody makes decisions based on "oh"-s. maybe amd knows something about ati that we don't ?
we have lots of sites out there which send assurance emails to people that register, if a dummy kid who makes a dummy user and puts random data in along the way, the automated welcome or confirmation mail will be sent. if you have hundreds of thousands or millions of users, some of them can accidently trigger it off, some of them can do it on purpose if they somehow have got the knowledge of that `secret address`.
as for the article, one perl script and cron together are far better than the ultimate superscripting h4x0r thing from the article, that mess in tfa with zillion tools and confusion, looks like dental work carried out through the _other_ entrance to your digestion system.
maybe it's time for a whitelist at spamcop ? everybody can rule their domain in, if they are found really sending spam and not registration feedback, they will be blacklisted forever and if possible, fined for their actions. maybe an initial fee for getting whitelisted wouldn't be a bad idea either, that would cut off most of these chines and turkish fuggers.
