This was the idea behind bitTorrent from its inception as quick and efficient method of deploying large content to many users simultaneously. The drawback is the public display of IP addresses and yes, a simple computer, connected to several torrents, can obtain many addresses. This doesn't really mean anything except they are participating in the bitTorrent network. It does not necessarily mean any data from the torrent file is on the computer. It is simply a node unknowingly exchange inappropriate content.
Best way to save yourself is to use "fuckyou" or "ihavenoidea" as the main password. -"Terry for the 50th time: what is the password?" -"fuckyou" -"officer, arrest him."
The Catholic church, as far as I know, doesn't have a monopoly on abuses. Most religions do good, many help save millions from famine, help educated countless poor children and generally bring together communities. Priests are human and did fail - there are not very many left so you might see less and less problems here.
I encourage you to listen to the speech from this link. I feel it is worth making the effort of getting the information from the horse's mouth so to speak.
If the Vatican had a PR department, it would surly be accused of attempting to cover-up further wrongdoings of individuals trusted by the Holy See.
Why not simply write a registered letter to Sony telling them you do not accept any of the EULA except for the original one supplied with the PS/3. Approval for any other EULA is hereby revoked. You want to give them 30 days to respond with a solution allowing your to continue using the PS/3 with all its features, including on-line content or to be reimbursed in full for the purchase price of the unit, including accessories, software and all games purchased. You may also throw in the replacement cost to swap for an Xbox for kicks.
If they are open source (and GPL licensed), the worse that could happen is they cease to code for it and turn the rest of the developers to other projects. The open source portion could then be forked and taken over by others who see the value Oracle missed. Obviously it presumes GPLd code which isn't probably the case here.
You should know that where I'm from EULA and such do not take precedence over the law.
In Canada/Québec there is this interesting section of the consumer protection law which states that a supplied good or service must be as it is described or meet the description as laid out in the contract.
"40. Un bien ou un service fourni doit être conforme à la description qui en est faite dans le contrat."
That's not the case of the PS/3 as the "other OS" feature is "likely" described as a feature in the user's manual.
I don't understand Sony's intentions behind the removal of that feature. It's crazy. Even for security concerns, following the hack by George Hotz, they should have simply found another, less disruptive way to block the access. I say thank-you George Hotz for sharing your brilliance and damn you Sony for overreacting. Now, I know George can probably find a workaround to his exploit even with the "other os" option gone, so what's next? No more wifi, no more blu-ray?
Surely you over generalize. The way I look at it, producers and movie studios, thanks to technology (remember arts and sciences are at work here), can now reach a level of realism previously unattainable, and at a reasonable cost. To me, realism helps condense a story by avoiding unduly lengthy descriptive passages - a good thing.
Personally, I enjoy the newer 3D movies but just being 3D doesn't make it a better movie.
They have also remastered a number of movies, even added colour to some, in order to renew the experience (and make more money of an old title). However, you still have the choice to read the book or go see the play - which is in 3D btw.
Not trolling either. If ads were informational - telling me what I can find, where and at the cheapest price - why would that be a bad thing? I was looking for a new cpu cooler, if the data they have on me would help me find one, I would be all for it. I think ads drive the economy and should only be controlled if they try to prevent access to choice. Seriously, people need to worry about other things.
People are laughing at me when I suggest that future iMacs will have app store lockdowns and now will be "ad-supported" to boot. It's iPhone 4.0 today and OSX 11 tomorrow. And it will still be irresistibly shiny.
iMacs will be Macs and iPad, iPhone will be their own thing. I see the next logical step towards a set-top box. Probably to replace the AppleTV. The remote control would be, you guessed-it, an "dumbed down" iPhone.
It probably will be subcontracted to Lockheed Martin by NASA. After all, "Martin's stuck heel" and Lockheed Martin do sound similar enough.
This however does provide some insight in the existence of alien technology. If government needs NASA to reverse engineer and attempt to resolve the problem, maybe, just maybe, NASA also was provided the task to reverse engineer alien technology. They might have in their posession a stockpile of alien technology which they have yet to decipher how they operate. Otherwise, why would they have gone there?
The NTSB is the real expert here. They have a lot more in common with the study of forensics, especially when dealing with catastrophic transportation events. Should they not be able to find the issue, then the problem might be outside the vehicle.
Most cars zooming by my neighbourhood are not Toyota Prius'. They are typically muscle cars driven by teens.
I think you are wrong. Treaties need to be passed into laws to have any consequence on its population. If you, as an individual, disobey a treaty which is not passed into law, the country or the foreign powers have no recourse against you. If I, as a Canadian school in Canada decide to present a DVD to my class, or make a photocopy of a book, for educative purposes, the US or other countries cannot arrest me.
The EU can demand all they want. This country in not part of the EU and we are quite happy with the way we've updated our copyright and patent laws. If they want to economically strong arm Canada into signing, we can just say no thank-you. Its not like we buy anything from Europe anyways. Except for, I'm sorry, nothing comes to mind, that we cannot produce here. In fact, it might be a great political move for our Prime Minister who needs LOTS of political capital.
I suppose it's the same argument when having to choose a development language. You got to pick 4GL languages, VB, Pascal, c++/Java/c#, assembly, and machine languages. The art of a great analyst is to know which to pick and when.
Washington likely allow all large employers like Microsoft all kinds of exceptions. I'm sure actuaries and accountants working for the State have already figured out (using MS software of course) how profitable they are, on tax revenue generated by their employees, despite the 300 million cut.
A 2.6 billion state deficit is nothing.
-- I wonder if MS has special hidden algorithms in their software: if state=Washington and query="how much state tax Microsoft should pay", then answer=0. --
If picture IDs for domains were a requirement from the very start of domain name registrations worldwide, it might not have been a big deal. A bit like an Internet driver's license. Now it's too late and as a result, China is seen as controlling. The question is, why does it need to do this? I remember about a year or two ago, all of Google's searches hit.cn domain names. I'm glad that's cleaned-up. Not sure if it was as a result of the picture ID policy.
How about "a bigcorp" reading all the patent applications about to be granted, looking for something clever that was patented by an independent individual but never put to market. This bigcorp then builds some device that are close - but not 100% identical. Bigcorp markets the product, waits to get sued. When sued, they simply argue "it's not entirely identical." Since it's an individual, they might just accept a relatively small settlement and maybe even sell their patent to bigcorp as going to court is very expensive.
I wonder if this is what Apple did with the accelerometer.
This is nothing new. China being China always kept a close eye on its people. Maybe Google thought there was a Berlin wall to topple so they pushed on it. Nah, it pushed back, not quite ready to fall. After all the great wall of China is much larger.
You mean I have to specifically allow each and every single packets to connect to my computer? Otherwise they attempt to connect to my network without authorization? Can I sue all those who ping my IP without written consent?
What's more you cannot locate anyone, from the SSID alone, unless they make it obvious. My ssid is dd-wrt good luck.
OP's statement is absurd. In the USA they have much more obscure interpretation of the laws when it comes to networks.

Nice try. People who are colour blind would then also request a refund since they shouldn't pay for the colours they can't see.

Youtubeland, I'd move there.
By now, I hope they figured out all the quirks when mass producing automobiles with turbos.
