Study the concept of non-zero-sum-gain sometime. While in the short term your statement is true, its not always. Back in econ 101 we lear that if you have two people and one is good at fishing and the other better at basket making, if they can trade products and both be better off. What the poster was commenting about is about buying the $1.26 item at Wal-Mart vs the locally made one at $1.96 means your going to decrease the total wealth in your area and then you end up paying more in taxes so your transaction turns out to be a negitive-sum-gain.
There is another reason why football is very important in the US. It make better soldiers. It teaches teamwork and a command structure and following plans. It also teaches using a plan and strategy to gain an advantage over your adversary.
And I've been bitching about SPF using DNS TXT records for longer than that. Don't people firewall their DNS anymore? If your inside a network and your trying to leak info out, DNS is the best way to do it.
I have a few smart media cards from a few years ago when the rio was new and when I was recently trying import the pictures again, I found 5 of the smart memory cards could not be read. That was out of about 15 or so. Most of the cards are 32mb but all the ones that are bad are 32mb cards.
Most Americans are clueless about real copyright law. How ever the law is there for a very specific purpose and most reasonable people understand that modern copyright law has very little to do with advancement of useful arts.
If I was on the a jury for this, I would be telling the others that the parody issue is moot because this song is in the public domain because there is almost no connection between its creator and work.

Its not even 112 effective bits because the parity bits form a nice matrix of worthless bits in the cypher. So you the simple approach is two 64 bit keys x2 should gives the illusion of 128 bit crypto but in fact the parity bits of the 1st key effect the key strength of the second so its (64-8-8)+(64-8-8)=96 effective strength. Add in the fact that the s-boxes in DES also reduce the effective strength anywhere from 2 to 6 bits (depending who you ask) and you end up with 3DES being no stronger than 84 bits. When you start reducing your key space that much, there are a wide range of other attacks that you can do involving pre-calculating related keys. Long ago many people looked into the combining 3DES from DES(A)->DES(B)->DES(A) into F(C) and there had been some reasonable progress but it required a huge array of data and expanded the internals to a size that was undoable. There are chips from Altera now that can cope with the internal array size. To me, that means 3DES is dead.
Can it remove the bugs that now appear to be on all the channels?
The Aussie TV stations tend to use the cheapest gear they can lay their hands on and that means NTSC/60Hz and that results in some odd issues when you take a video of a cricket ball moving over a field that was recorded at 50Hz/PAL and then converted to 60Hz/NTSC mpeg encoded, moved 1/2 around the world via sat and converted back to 50Hz/PAL. Add in a bug and watching the jitter and it makes me feel like I'm car sick. The result is I don't watch as much TV and I don't watch any thing that is high action thats been converted on any of the channels anymore.
This law suit might be a good thing. A court could rule that the current copyright law clearly goes against the wishes of the copyright creator and also clearly is going against the reasons for copyright stated in the Constitution. I think if I was being sued for this sort of thing, I would also try to convince a jury that the song is in the public domain. After call can you find 12 people who can name the author of that song? If they heard it, it was most likely because they sung it in 2nd grade music class. Its clear that even congress seems to think many songs are in the public domain after their singing God Bless America on the steps without paying royalties based on performance with a billion viewers of news programs world wide. Would a reasonable person assume that Happy Birthday is in the public domain?
When they deorbit the geosync sats, they shift them north or south which results in a wobbly almost geo-sync orbit which quickly moves them out of the prime spot and keeps them from hitting other things in the prime spots. Over time that odd orbit gets hit by tidal forces which should keep the sat away from anything else until it becomes become eccentric enough to completely deorbit. The problem is it takes a very long time to break a stable geosync orbit.
I ask because I fired up the lame box that runs windows XP yesterday and its its saying that I need to activate and won't let me log in most of the time. Thats odd, it was activated before and as far as I know the MS activation stuff always locks you out everytime, not most of the time. Ok, start up the activate windows with the intent of yelling at MS for breaking something stupid... no such luck as it just terminates. Thats odd. How about an update...slap in the CD and tell it to update... nope... doesn't like the original key anymore.
Give up on the box but 1st do a quick dir to see if there is anything useful on it and what do I find? A bunch of *.exe's that all have titles of popular programs and the kind of thing that would get shared and they happen to be in a dir that had a few mp3's (not stuff anyone would want to share anyway).
I think the box got owned real fast after it just woke up and it trashed the auth system. Damn isn't windows fun?
I'm aware that SPF isn't useful for spam fighting. The 1st message to hit my server after I put in SPF checks was spam form a throwaway domain with a valid SPF record.
My web site has fairly high rankings in google with several sets of obscure technical terms. That means I get spam from people who personally write the message to me. They looked at the web site and sent me email trying to sell me something. It may be a spam run of one, but it still ends up in my mail box.
Reading/. you can tell most people have no clue about the economics of spam and who's getting paid to do what. From what I can tell you have a spamer operation that finds clients that want to spend $1,000 to $10k to advertise and they take that money, buy domains, bonds, T1s, colo servers or whatever they need and then send out millions of messages. Thats how most of the bulk stuff works and unless the price of doing that is too high, there is no way the bulk stuff will go away. That is another problem that is hard to fix because the seller of the resources can't tell a spam operation from a legit operation for some time.
I was thinking more along the lines of $4.$3.$2.$1.$USER._at.$DOMAIN. For sites with fixed user lists, this is trivial and provides user level control as well. It also has the potential to let a user specify other addresses they will be mailing from so they can email form home but they can't joe-job everyone else from home.
They are into it because they don't have any future products if they don't develop something.
The way that the ear does 3d is the odd shape of the ear absorbs different frequencies at different levels depending on the direction of the sound. The brain seems to have the ability to understand that a fraction of a drop in nearby frequences means the sound is at a specifc angle. Whats even stranger is that the mapping must be dynamic since pets use it and some animals can detect elevation of sounds to a few degrees without moving their ears.
I'm guessing the holy grail of 3d sound will be to come up with a model that works with most people to do sound elevation which will also work with the front to back problem.
The problem is no one has done it yet. Every poject seems to get hijacked into committees that never get the real work done.
Take SPF for example. It was mostly pushed by one guy into some code and that is starting to move on, but why do I need to do that much extra work when the existnig DNSBL stuff works and could be used in nearly every MTA as is without doing any extra code?
I worked on the X.400 Gossip committee back in '92 or so. The result was the system was too big to be useable and the complexity was so bad that no one ever got it right. The fundamental with email is that I want any person in the world to be able to send me a message but I don't want spam. The problem is there is no tehcnial way to tell them apart.
I do agree with RMS that going down the MS path is a dead end that will only result in MS getting more money and gives them the ability to kill off all open source systems with their patents and I know they will use them. The one thing we have learned about patents is that it doesn't matter at all if someone gives us rights to use it, they can change their mind and then we have to pay.
Most businesses can cut their cost of doing a specifc task by about 5% per year through a number of things studied at business schools everywhere. For some odd reason governments can't seem to do the same thing.
Maybe you sould look at the numbers involved in the revolution. It wasn't the US aginst England. It was a few powerful colonialist (that tended to see themselves as Virginians or what ever region they were from) aginst a few powerful people that were loyal to the King. Most of the population was nutral on the matter and felt if they annoyed England, they couldn't get the goods which at that time were mostly imported. A vast majority of just didn't care then like they don't care now.
Have you ever gone to your local Republican meetings and brought up the point that Orin isn't working for your state but aginst it? He's got more friends in California than Utah.
If you can't find someone in the state that would make a better Senator than this idiot, then your state deserves the boycot.
As far as open source, have you been paying attention to how this guy is tring hard to make it illeagal to do what you do?
I've been contributing to open source since mid 1980s and I do talk to the people in the political show. Sen Hatch has caused me more professional grief than anyone but billy gates and as far as I'm concerned, no one associated with either of them are ever getting any more of my money. The voters of Utah are associated with one of them.
I don't know about you, but I refused to do business with people in Utah because of their inability to deal with electing senators and I'm happy to tell them that and I do take my business elsewhere. Too bad he's not up for reelection for another two years. Ever notice that everything he does seems to be more involved with other states than his own? I don't think he's been working for the people of Utah since maybe the 1980's.
Not if you and your fuel weigh less than about 200 pounds or so. The rules give you 1320 lbs so an empty cessna c-150 weighs 970 empty so you have 350 lbs to cover your fuel and your self. There is also the problem that a 970 lb c150 isn't going to have any radios so you might want to at least figure in a transponder as well. So if your a 120 lb pilot you can put maybe 38 gallons of fuel which could keep you entertained for hours. Of course if your getting your fuel calculations and weight and balance off/., I don't want to be anywhere underneath anything your attempting to pilot.
Years ago if you wanted your product to be protected by patents you stamped "Patent Pending" on it or "Pat no 1231231" or else there was no real way you could stop someone else from copying your stuff. There are a few thigns needed to fix the the patent office, 1) is a suit aginst the director (much like you sue Ashcroft for suits aginst the justice dept), 2) no patents should be issued for anything that the patent office does not have a decade old library of prior art and 3) revoke most fo the patent law changes since the 1940's.
You mean DVD gives me less bang for my money. 1) I can FF any VHS tape over the bits I don't want to see. 2) I've never seen a pixelized VCR tape 3) A VCR tape seems to out last DVDs when invovled with children. 4) A VCR user interface works as described every time. 5) DVDs lately seem to have high resolution poor quailty. I have tapes that produce better pictures than many of my newer DVDs 6) Tapes (if you can get them) are/were cheaper
If they are validating the crypto, someone missed the boat twice. If you look at the 1st two bytes of every ssh-2 block, you will find that the 1st 17 bits must be zero. Since that block is also corresponds to when they key changes happen, you end up with 17 bits of known plain text at the start of every key change which opens it up to many types of attacks. Thats just sloppy crypto.
30 seconds at the start of a long trip can add up. Remember that stoplights compound at more than 50%. The result is that a few seconds through a light might mean hitting the next one in time and that saves two minutes. In an area with bad traffic, a 2mph drop in speed at 35mph can increase your trip time far more than the the 6% of the speed decrease would predict.
