You might be right. And a judge in a federal court might one day agree with you, if the issue ever comes up. But if you're the person in the hotseat, everyone who hears about it will assume you're a pervert downloading child porn (and if you've got legal porn on your computer, do you need to keep the 2257 info? I don't know) and all your equipment is going to be in the government's hands before, during and likely a long time after the trial. And you'll have to prove that you did not download the kiddie porn even if it did come from your IP. Because in the spirit of being a good neighbor, you left your wireless open.
It's a risk a lot of people won't take, and I don't think you can fault them for it.
Big Brother's bigger than you, and you might be right, but that won't stop you from being fucked just the same.
all these cooking analogies are too confusing, can someone make a car analogy or possibly something about houses and locked doors? or a locked car? on the information highway?
but note that, like most transactions, this is dependent on how the item in exchange is valued and by whom -- in the beginning of the p2p days, napster was used by some record companies to measure the success of certain albums/songs etc. once they noticed they were actually bleeding, they squashed it and decentralized all the p2p downloads. to get that kind of data now, they'd have to compile it from 10 or 15 sources and still not have a complete picture (oink being the last real bastion of almost cetralized music sharing, other p2p torrent sites sprang up to replace oink, but some users went to usenet no doubt).
Most users will have no problems giving away their info in exchange for services, assuming that a) it's not hard and b) it's nothing they perceive as Really Intrusive. Anyone can fill in "John Smith" on those New York Times registration pages, but asking for an ID #, or a CC # to verify would be harder for people to agree to (although they do that to, if they want in bad enough -- e.g., ebay.com). Considering the amount of data available about most people via their credit card bills, it's mostly academic anyway.
this is ha-ha-only-serious in a way; the godzilla movies serve as a kind of metric for japanese societal attitudes towards nuclear power. immediately post-war, gojira is a monster created by radiation that comes and terrorizes tokyo but within 20 years or so, he's japan's protector from outside alien monsters (mothra, gamera, etc) and is japan's big scaly mascot (with annoying "go-get-'em-pop!" godzilla-baby, godzuki.)
...and did his check that there were no filters set to forward the mails to another account and leave them unread for an IMAP app (or POP or whatever) to get later?
About a year ago, I wound up sitting briefly (we were both having coffee at the same cafe and worked for the same university) with a prominent research geneticist and wound up having a discussion about religion and it's role in science. For someone who'd put science in such focus in his life, he was remarkably open-minded about religion (paraphrasing, but along the lines of "to be as adamant about the non-existance of god as a lot of atheists are seems kind of closed-minded, especially if you're a scientist and supposed to be figuring things out, not just assuming they are the way you want"). But anyway, he also went into a tangent about astrology -- as an example, i think, i forget how we got into it as a subject -- and how maybe it isn't planets or what-have-you, but rather the general temperature patterns during gestation that affect personalities, IE, gemini's are bastards, cancers are sensitive etc etc because during gestation they had colder or hotter womb temp averages, and he had seen in his own work how minute temperature changes in utero or in vitro could affect outcomes drastically and dramatically. Makes more sense to me than "oh, saturn was rising when you were born so you're fucked forever!"
Why? What about the Beatles? Their best music was made after they were able to stop performing live and concentrate on making albums. Dvorák didn't get up and wow the crowds with his latest number. Selling music has dominated the industry for centuries, it seems to have done a pretty good job of it
Yes, those LPs and CDs from the 1700's and 1800's are great. Music as a commodity item that you can buy has only been available and popular for let's say a hundred years. Before you could buy a wax cylinder, vinyl disc, cassette or CD, if you wanted to hear music you either played it yourself or went and found someone else to play it for you to listen to. (PS, the beatles stopped touring because the music they were making was essentially un-reproducible live; their disenchantment with the annoyances of live performance tours and growing family lives were also factors, but it's worth noting that their last great hurrah as a group was in fact the live rooftop concert that was chopped into "Let It Be" (cf wikipedia link about it.
If only there were a centralized -- or decentralized, but easily available -- site where leaked documents like these could be posted for perusal. Alas, what a pipe dream in these United States.
If the meat of the article is so small, why not just post the moneyshot while you're at it?
Mathews and his attorney, Joshua Kolten, have decided to make lemonade out of lemons: Since the bank insists Mathews has standing in the case, Mathews is asking the judge to consider the harm that the court's earlier injunction against Wikileaks has done to him; namely that it has prevented readers from accessing on Wikileaks the material he has written about subjects completely unrelated to the bank and its business.
Whoever this kid's lawyer is, he's got a wicked sense of humor.
You must be thinking of some other United States; in mine we don't even need a warrant to snoop on our own citizens, why would we even pretend to need one for non-citizens?
Unless they've figured out a way to get Solaris on users' machines -- at home/and/ in the office -- without a mass exodus of twitching users frothing about how unfriendly Solaris is (or how they perceive it to be, which ultimately is just about the same thing for a user), that party's further off than you might like.
I see this as SUN's positioning itself against Windows Server 2008/Longhorn's Virtualization features (VM and load balanced? Exchange-native? MS-centric businesses are practically shitting themselves in anticipation.)
is there a particular reason you can't have both? (and statically link the libraries needed for the older-gcc-compiled binaries? it would take up disk space, but that's cheap these days...)
If I understand you, it sounds like haiku/the beos user movement needs someone to intentionally break gcc-2.x-binary-compatibility (like redhat did with their gcc2.95 in RH8) to kickstart the move out of the old software. Possibly there's no one Free-BeOS users' group/os-project that has the numbers to catalyze all the others into switching. Too many forks, not enough people to choose just one and stick to it. Which is a shame, from the time I ran BeOS Max PE, it was a work of genius.
it's not just the number of cables, but the timeframe in which it's happened. a cable connecting pakistan to the world was knocked offline a year or two ago, but 5 cables in the space of what, a week or less? When was the last time you even *heard* about that?
well, the PJ O'Rourke line ("We're waaaay out of whale oil, but instead of sitting in the dark we found other oils for our lamps") -- which is the standard American Republican line in this case -- is that we'll innovate a new way. So far the oil/energy problem has the same problem that IPv4/IPv6 have, namely that everyone wants it, but no one wants to be the one to start (or wants it enough to actually *DO* something).
Every major networking equipment supplier has IPv6 support on their product lines, although some still charge for turning it on. All the high-end Cisco routers and switches support it natively, but charge extra for the IOS image that can use it. Foundry's current product line supports it everywhere. Juniper has pretty much always had IPv6. Working down the list of less popular suppliers shows most of them have some level of IPv6 support. Sure, most of the older networking equipment can't deal with v6 traffic, and the useful life for old kit is long enough that it's still probably 70% of the installed base.
I don't know of any firewall manufacturer that supports IPv6 natively. Juniper has it on the board as RSN, and their routers support it, but not their firewalls. I don't know about other products, but ISC's DHCP6 offering is still a bit green around the edges...
The discussion isn't about health or legal work, it's about/counting/ and ultimately whether or not counting the old way (by hand, two people, under strict guidelines,) should be replaced by machine-aided counting (to avoid human error). Medical school is great -- I've worked at one (and I work at a law school now,) and have three relatives who are doctors -- but they don't have an exclusive right to counting. No matter how many doctors think so.
But how is this substantially different from say Mason (http://masonhq.com)? I understood the Ruby-on-Rails thing is just a framework to get ruby to work with sites; afaik Mason is pretty much the same thing (I have worked with a site that used it in place of CSS stuff in the late 90's, and I know that large sites also use it, like ebay and amazon. it's great for dynamic content generated through perl scripts to be published).

I suppose you could make a very complex analogy about tailgate parties or something, but it really seems like too much trouble.
