why even bother reading the post? "I am mod, hear me roar!!"
Read the original post: "At some point I'd like to be able to have 400 of my best images already pre-zipped and loaded to my web host for quick download. I'm wondering how best to secure the images to prevent unauthorized download but also make it relatively easy for the typical un-savvy client."
Isn't that just calling for an adult-website-type solution? That's exactly what adult websites do: they have their posting of their product, be it pictures or videos, and when you buy access to those, you get provided with a username and password, which usually lasts only a few days. Isn't that what the OP is asking for?
But, for the idiots who have their scripts set to mod "Flamebait" if it reads the word "porn" (pornpornpornpornpornpornpornporn!!!!), here's some simple javascript solutions (if you want more security, I would suggest.htaccess):
Not to trivialize or suggest that the poster is a actually planning to run a porn site.. but doesn't this sound very much like just running a basic adult site? i.e., You already have the pics uploaded, and you just need a mechanism to provide access to specific areas. i.e., Porn site.
hear my story, and learn why the United States lacks engineers. There is no complex cause for the engineering shortage. It's all right here, in his story. Only in his story. Hear it and learn.
Remember: Kern = real good at math and science. Just because he got a 43 on a physics final, don't think he's dumb. Oh no! It was the system. The bad TAs. The ignorant teaching he got. He's quite smart, you see. Why? Well, because he says so right there.
"Discreet Mathematics" is "how Kern dropped that class along with the rest of his engineering course load and signed into liberal arts classes, all on the last day he was eligible to do so, because he couldn't stand the stress, abuse, and lack of comprehension anymore." Apparently, getting a 2.7 GPA is considered abuse. Maybe he should be calling his lawyer. We don't want his inner child stressed any more.
I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong. She was as American as I am. Spoke perfect colloquial English. It seems that if someone can't communicate with him, we are to immediately assume that she's not a native English speaker, because, well, it couldn't be HIM that's the problem, right? After all, Kern is smart.
If you want more engineers in the United States, you must find a way for America's engineering programs to retain students like, well, me No explanation for the self-centerdness needed here.
Personal note: I say these things as a man who went through something similar. I graduated High School with honors, got scholarships to college to study engineering, then found it exceedingly harder than I had ever imagined school could be. I matched Mr Kern's 2.7 GPA my first semester. I endured for a few years before Engineering school kicked my ass, and I flunked out. Not just the engineering program, but college entirely. And I moped. Then, six months later, I decided I was going to finish what I started, and I worked for three years just to earn enough money to pay my way back to finish college. Three years after I re-enrolled, I graduated with a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering. I graduated. I didn't bitch that the System wasn't to *MY* liking. I didn't whine that education had to change to keep more students like *ME*. I didn't complain when I had bad TAs as instructors. I didn't automatically assume that when an instructor and I couldn't communicate, it was due to their lack of mastery over the English language. I persevered.
That's what *I* did.
I didn't write an article blaming my quitting engineering on the system that didn't adapt itself to keep students like *me* around.
1. LP does NOT decrease quality. Period. Look it up. There are reports that it DOES increase the possibilities of dropped frames but it does NOT decrease recording quality. The original poster is wrong.
2. a) There are already ways of doing real-time storage... some not so easy. I just did it myself this July for a church conference, with a camcorder connected via firewire to a laptop, connected via firewire to an external drive. Not the best of solutions, and it pretty much eliminated mobility, but it gave me 3 hrs/night uninterrupted recording time.
b) There already is a turn-key solution for this. It's called Firestore. It's a portable hard drive that captures real-time from a camera. http://www.focusinfo.com/products/firestore/fs-4.h tm
... why I don't believe the "Global Warming is being caused by greedy corporations" spiel..
quite simply, it's because most people (scientists included) quite simply don't have enough information to say for a FACT that THIS or THAT is causing ozone depletion:
"While chlorofluorocarbons are still blamed for ozone depletion, scientists said this study shows they don't properly account for the sun's impact."
Before this gets modded as troll or flamebait, read it again. All I'm saying is that theories are one thing. Presenting theories as facts is another thing entirely.
so, if that's the case, MTV2 made MTV better quality? After all, it gave all those music videos better quality?
Sorry, while I see how some times bigger coverage can push for better quality (in the form of competition, for instance), it just doesn't necessarily translate to it.
I agree. I also think of all those times people give their SSN to work-study college students because that's what the university uses as ID. I know some of that is changing, but in some places it is still widely in use.
Like the parent poster said.. it's all a matter of perception.
from the article: "Users of pirated copies of Windows will still be able get some updates, such as security patches, but will not be able to get other add-ons for Windows, the Redmond, Wash.-based company said in a statement."
So, tell me again how this is a bad thing? Don't we already bitch about the useless crap M$ dumps on computers?

After all... why would you need to focus on dependability....

your current OS wasn't dependable?
Whoa.. thanks for the quick flamebait...

ahh... being able to create my own mixes for the first time... making one HUGE cassette of the songs that I liked.
I didn't see how it could get any better than that...
hmm... isn't that generally what the makers of mp3 did?

no sh*t.
This is what passes for "News for Nerds"???
This, and 6 month old dupes of 25-yr old "How computers work" books???
Really, it pisses me off to think that probably a few dozen members got their (far more interesting) stories rejected to make room for this sh*t.
Dibs on dupe!!
Do I get a prize?
.. at least according to the BBC:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4649361.stm
.. on the letter the author posted, he states that the domain should be transferred to a "certain company" by June 9th... we'll see...
This sucks, btw..
Does anyone else feel disturbed by that statement?
We waited hesistantly a moment, turned ignition off and rebooted the car...
seems like it's slashdotted already :-(

I think both IBM and yours (and mine) interests are against Micro$oft.
"It costs around $4, fits in your pocket and runs on air ;-). What else do you want ?"
Yeah, try and explain THAT to the airport security guard when he pulls you outta the line
I'm going to have to perform this experiment myself.
In the interest of the truth, you know.
When did THAT happen?
I thought that was one of the reasons to use Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox.... cuz they DIDN'T support ActiveX... ??
any of the paying Slashdotters wanna grace us with the text?

I promise you'll get lots of Karma for it!
It's one thing to say that the boeards give the go-ahead (it was expected), but this deal should REALLY get close Anti-Trust inspection.
THAT's the go-ahead I'm really curious about.
