well gees i wonder why... think about their idea: lets make a product that consumers can watch or listen to. if i can see it or hear it, I CAN COPY IT. unless you are going to sell me products i can't see or hear, i will ALWAYS be able to copy it.
so i have to maintain 3 accounts minimum, and of course pay bank fees to move money between my 2 bank accounts (on top of, of course, mentally keeping track of everything) just to sell keyboards i bought on ubid for a profit?
no thanks... so if anyone wants to get into this business, buy wireless keyboards on ubid in bulk for 14.99 each... sell on ebay for minimum 30, and rip the buyer off on shipping. paid rent all through college doing this. get 30 a week in the mail and send 30 out. now that i have a job i'll share the knowledge. enjoy!
i'm extremely concerned because i've heard stories of users getting paid with stolen credit cards... what does paypal do?
assume you stole the card and try to launder the money to yourself, so they freeze and seize all money in your account AND bank account if you made a withdrawl
now i'm nervous to even accept paypal for anything
i use the internet for only a few things... and the main use is running servers.
satellite is basically worthless... we can't think of the internet as a media outlet, it is an interactive environment... users aren't 'surfing the web' hoping for content just be spewed at them, they want to interact, and the uplink of most satellites makes even posting a lot of form data a problem.
ok... so they have the best picture of earth ever and just release a thumbnail with lossy compression...
somehow i have a feeling they are in talks with thinkgeek about releasing a full size poster, and this was just a ploy to get interest up. Hemos has somehow got NASA and the BBC to do his bidding.
my hacking attempts are over 10% from those chinese kiddies... even if US kiddies are owning boxes there and routing traffic through them, its still getting past all the cisco equipment. and the cake?? well, my site contains material that china is supposedly banning.
it also probably went from 20 real email requests to 5, because your customers can contact you.
a years ago I accidentally set up an open relay on my email server... i'm pretty sure i'm blacklisted all over the place, because by the time i relized it (only 3 days after install) there were 20,000 emails in the queue and it was sending like crazy.
how would someone like me go about getting off all the blacklists? who manages them all?
he DID do something. hacking is a crime. so the fbi had every right to raid his house. threatening violence, and then the fbi finding a stockpile of homemade weapons is grounds for detention until all the facts are straightened out AT LEAST.
throughout my childhood i hacked many websites, and built many MANY bombs in the name of film. hell, i even built built 4ft high models of our school and filled it with 2 sticks of dynamite worth of explosives. (4 quarter sticks electronically ignited). i would sneak out during my tv production classes, and blow stuff up in a nearby forest with my friends.... who of course spent most of the outing smoking weed.
what i did was extremely illegal, and after columbine, and sept. 11th, if i was caught back then i would have probably been publicly shot. did i ever intend to harm anyone??? NO. was what i did illegal? YES.
I am on the side of this kid, but he did break the law, got caught, and deserves whatever they do to him.
if you support this kid, you are probably a libertarian. LINK

the problem was, they shouldn't have gone to redmond.... microsoft didn't sell them windows, the manufacturer of the system did, and they have and will refund your money.
i've actually read an extremely thourough description of a process one guy did over 2 years to get his money back for win98.
it was an OEM copy on a laptop. he booted right from cd and formatted.
after about a year of emails back and forth he got a check for $100. i'm not sure if it was the distributor or microsoft, but he did get paid.
just because microsoft isn't playing by the same rules, doesn't mean i'm wrong. legally, they can resell unopened software... they always could, even if microsoft said they couldn't. this judge is just stating it officially. again, THIS WILL NOT BE BROAD REACHING.
of course you can resell something you pay for that you don't use. this is NOT going to be broad reaching... this is very similar to best buy's software policy: if you don't open it, you can return it.
